IgboSomalia:


He is even bigger than them. They are only useful for washing his car and feeding his dog.

You're speaking sense

PrinceofSarcasm:
That tribalist FreeStuffsNG will soon come here and create topic because the person is Yoruba.

The guy doesn't even think like a normal person beyond tribalism. I don't know why he wasn't banned permanently.

Seun if you want to clean Nairaland accounts like FreeStuffsNG should be banned permanently. He only created topics for one tribe and intentionally avoids achievements of southeast southsouth of Northerners.

Ban that account permanently!

Make I laugh small...

Forbes again?

Obinwanne Okeke aka Invictus Obi quickly comes to my mind

PureFace1:



yen yen look at you wailing as if there are not also accounts that create topics only for Igbo, all what your generation is good at is playing the victims

For those of you that says Yoruba is successful in this country because of government,
Yoruba is the most successful in UK and USA too, UK and USA government must be helping Yoruba to marginalize Igbo

IPOB terrorists are big cowards.
They can't just withstand the heat for just 10 seconds they will start playing victims and run to the mods

Real billionaires

Kokorokomanaoga:

How does someone praising the feats of his tribesmen translate to tribalism, if you are not ashamed of your tribe why dont you post and praise their achievements too?
That means the likes of anambraIstson etc should be banned too?

They can play victims
From the civil war to Lagos to politics to business etc..na to dey play VICTIM to corner favors

Kinzo0917:



Who asked you?

Why are you deviating from the topic?

I ve read most of your comments here

You are just too tribalistic

@seun has let you be becos you are yoruba like him

Some of us who don’t go as far as you get lengthy bans

Nigeria problem is embedded in tribalism

Why are you an hypocrite?
Isn't it amusing that you failed to see your kin who was the first to comment derailed this beautiful thread with his tribalism.

We have talented young vibrant men and women in tech world from Nigeria, to succeed in this business, there must be an enabling environment. Here in Nigeria,our leadership is the problem.
Kudos to those who make us proud out there. If you have skills in the tech.world pls prepare to go out of this country and be successful.

Tope Awotona is the founder and CEO of scheduling software company Calendly.
Awotona, a former salesman for tech firms including EMC (now Dell EMC), founded Calendly out of his own frustration with the back-and-forth emails required to schedule meetings.

He bootstrapped Calendly for years before taking on a $350 million investment in 2021 that valued the firm at $3 billion.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Awotona immigrated to the United States as a teenager.
Before founding Calendly, he had started a few other businesses, including one that sold projectors and another that sold garden tools, that flopped.

Congratulations to him but what has been his contributions back home towards bettering the life of the less privileged and the downtrodden

So he makes his money to help the downtrodden or he is obligated to help them?

Your brother started tribalism on this thread but the inbred tribalism in your people didn't allow you say the truth.

We will defeat tribalists like you and I assure you that you will see shege.

Tope Awotona to the world. Tope is doing great in the tech space. Being clearly intentional and self-motivated are the keys to success in life and the massive rewards will come down the road.

I wonder what the net worth of Kasali (Kase) Lawal, the Ibadan-born, Houston-based, Nigerian-American billionaire oil and gas mogul would be right now. The U.S.-educated Engineer who worked in some U.S. oil films has been featured in Ebony Magazine in 2006, and Black Enterprise Magazine rated Kase Lawal as the biggest owner of a Black or African-American-owned company in the U.S. in the recent past.

There are officially 21 Black ancestry USD Billionaires from 11 countries with Aliko Dangote being the richest. Tope Awotona and Bayo Ogunlesi are listed as American billionaires and are credited to the United States though, but we know these two billionaires are Nigerian-Americans who rep their Yoruba roots and Nigeria.

Therefore, Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Abdulsamad Isiaku Rabiu, Bayo Ogunlesi, Tope Awotona, and Femi Otedola are officially the current folks of Nigerian ancestry who are USD billionaires according to Forbes. Femi Otedola got back on the Forbes Billionaires list just recently in December/January 2024. Kudos to them all for impacting the international business space positively.

Richer than Bayo Ogunlesi?

They probably have around the same networth

Ban that account permanently!

Crying generation of wailers, from one wailing generation to the other, always so unhinged and bothered about others. This is a public forum young man, anyone can create a niche or topic they want, if you feel maginalized about the success of your tribe or others not making the front page, take it upon yourself and create the topic and tag the mods. You can't mandate any member on what should interest them to post. Nonsense.

So the software is not useful to Nigerians?? The problem with some of younis thr way you think. Because to you has not conteibuted anything unitl he comes back share rice or cash on the street..

keep to una smellos and leave igbo chicks alone

Could you please tell us how Chinedu Gbadebo was treated?

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, was his mother not Igbo? Don't forget he voted as a senator before becoming the governor.

His brother was also a one-term governor of the state and was a senator that had represented Osun West Senatorial District.

So how is Chinedu Gbadebo's own different?

PureFace1:


No but he is as rich as Jay Z his net worth is 1.2 billion $ while his company is worth 3 billion $

Is Jay Z coming from Nigeria? Don't just comment Read to understand first

Baba, you're indeed not well, I swear! As much as I despise the FreeStuffsNG dude, you pple tend to a mental problem, no be small.

Capitalism is reaching its peak hence it's decline.

Everyone who is celebrate is around the order of wealth. Soon socialism will be and those who emerge with successful meaningfully families will get the headlines also.

No be by chest-beating, arrogance or petty-trading, the real business men are simply Yorubas!

The RAW- DOG is here again, running around like the mad dog he is.

Bingo!
You better go and face your recharge card business and see if e go better for you In this life.

Of cos, it will not, because you are not smart, and you support bad government.

It’s not too late to change, but I know you will not, because you are not a human.

As always, YAMAYAMA fall on your strong indomie filled skull this weekend.
