Wateron: Now am 22, I must make my first Million be my 24th birthday. This is what airtel is preaching.

otilox: Let's see it this way... When you talk of innovative and disruptive business models that people have come up with in recent years, it often has something to do with the internet... from facebook to spotify, from irokotv to dealdey. These new breed of companies have launched their owners into the millionaire zone in whichever currency within a short period. Why? cos the new age of business innovation and fast turn over highly depends on high speed internet, amongst other factors (google tesco and walmarts profit boost resulting from internet sales.

Why not eliminate the negative use of internet for money making (419) from your thoughts and tap into the potential of high speed internet for business innovation. I bet you quick millions would locate you too. A simple blog can do the magic through Ad gains for example.
Ps: I don’t work for airtel.

jephiano: My favourite line in the advert is:"Fast is taking impatience and turning it into a virtue." just love it man

jobfront: That advert should be banned outrightly, no need arguing about it, @29yrs late ah ah, what happinii airtel...what are u telling Nigerian youths plz? See guys, real wealth begins at 40yrs, by then all your efforts and labour will start to produce fruits, not the yahoo-yahoo stuff that destroyed the image of this nation internationally. Take time o airtel...NCC should act immediately plz..and caution airtel too! nonesense!

Murder_X: Yes this advert can be seen as offensive, it supports and capitalizes on the international bad image that the average Nigerian youth is an internet fraudster and lures them to use its extra fast internet link to make even faster money to become millionaires by 24.
Think of it logically, this is the average age of a graduate or a youth corper in Nigeria and over 80% of Nigerian millionaires in this age bracket must have made it by illegal means especially by internet fraud. This is the only obvious connection between the idea and the advert. It should be banned, the intent is derogatory, advances the notion that we are fraudsters and supports internet fraud (yahoo) in Nigeria.
How else does a faster internet link translate to a young man making faster money in Nigeria Think!

naptu2: Ok, I see what is offensive (although I might not completely agree). Those who find it offensive believe that it encourages youths to go into crime and take shortcuts...the get rich quick mentality. Get rich by any means necessary.

lond07:

That is the point. And this coming from a well respected telecomm company will send very bad messages accrooss.

On the extreme side. some youths may consider themselves a failure and may comtemplate suicide.

It's very bad
