Smart man,that dullard buhari was ranting nonsense the other day but see the guy still hustled a way to see Obama just like the blind guy in the bible that climbed a tree just to see jesus.
Your choice of words though. Mr Elumelu did not hustle to see Obama. He was billed to speak at the Enterpreneural forum long before Buhari set foot on the American soil as Pmb.
The young smart guy is highly sought after globally. Its a pity our 'SOLOMON' spurned him in the U.S

You don't need rocket science to tell you that PMB has something up his sleeve with all this his vindictive behaviour. I was disappointed with the way he treated Nigeria's captains of industries in the name of vindictiveness.

Tony is a biz man that PMB needs to draw closer if he wants to achieve his party's manifestoes, he needs people like that to engineer the private sector revival.

Do you know Tony can be more of a catalyst for FDI than PMB
PMB don't need hypocrite like Tony to engineer the private sector revival. We only need sincere businessmen and women who have true interest of Nigeria at heart not some disgruntled elements tht are reaping more than wht they are sowin.

Buhari went to a world power and one of the biggest economies and he didn't take any businessman/investor like Jim ovia,Tony elumelu,Dangote, Otedola etc.
He didn't take the Likes of Ambode of Lagos who can atleast seek business opportunities for a major west african commercial city like Lagos.
Instead we saw the likes of Oshiomole's wife, Buhari's son, sleeping Rochas, amechi and everyother man who had no business being there!
This is certainly the best comment of this thread so far!
Quoting you just to make an easy reference to it later.

So dedicating $100million dollars for the next 10 years to support 10,000 businesses across Africa (with more Nigerians selected in the process) is not good enough and won't affect Nigeria's GDP kwo? Give or take Tony is better than Buhari.. tongue

make him your president

Re: Tony Elumelu Meets With Obama In Kenya by Atlantian: 1:11pm On Jul 25, 2015
Every knowledgeable President knows that he must keep the biggest employers close to the government to actualize employment goals. What if Tony, Jim Ovia, Dangote, Mike Adenuga etc decide to close their businesses in Nigeria and move them to other African Countries ? The system will collapse. You must keep enterpreneurs close to you and personally talk them into policy change before you go ahead to implement them.

You can never treat your birds that lay the golden eggs as enemies. Diplomacy is the watchword. We will continue to remember Jonathan after he is long gone. At the moment, we do not know the direction of this government, the policy architectures are not in place. There are no ministers, and the country is being run like a one-man military government. Even the National Assemblies are being muscled by the All Nigerians People Congress, sorry All Progressive Confidence...sorry again..All Progressives Congress.

To be frank, I have lost faith in this government.

Re: Tony Elumelu Meets With Obama In Kenya by HiGod: 1:48pm On Jul 25, 2015
Wale(US Rapper) and ordinary US citizens meet Obama at every given opportunity. Why all this noise about Elumelu meeting Obama?

Elumelu is just playing to gallery while the real business men are getting down and making freaking billions. Do you see real billionaires (business men); the likes of Dangote, Trump, Otedolla, Adenuga, Bill gate travelling all over the world, looking for the next port of destinations for Obama or other presidents so as to have an handshake with them? Nope.

Haven't you guys see or noticed how this supposed business man called Elumelu been jumping from one flight to another to take pictures with presidents? It's all about PR packaging for his companies instead of employing the service of excellent PR company.

World leaders begged and seek the attention of real business men not the other way round.

The output of a program alternating BuHARi MuhAMmed name:

public void message(){
String FullName= "Buhari Muhammadu";
String PickChar="";
int SpacePos=FullName.indexOf(" "wink;
String FirstPick="";
FirstPick=FullName.substring(2,5);

PickChar= FullName.substring((SpacePos+4),(SpacePos+4)+2);

String NewName= FirstPick+PickChar;

Output: haram


Your program will not run. You are trying to print outside the main. By the way,any evidence that PMB is BH

What most rich people dont understand is that the world will not really celebrate you because you have aquired so much wealth but because you are putting up measures that will make the world a better place for the helpless.
Bill Gates had his billions of dollars for years but it was the moment that he went into charity that he became inseparable from the global social calendar.
Tony Elumelu has been very rich since late 1990s when he transformed defunct Crystal bank to eventually U BA Plc.His global relevance became very prominent the moment he set up $100m dollars fund to jumpstart African enterpreneurs start ups.Between last year and this year,you could notice how many times that he has met with President Obama.
So globalbrelevance is tied to how much value you have added to humanity and not how many private jets,wives and houses that you have aquired for your selfish consumption
ok i know now why Obama left Buhari and company for Kenya....i see. cool Valueless visitors they were.

He had been invited by Obama to be a guest speaker at WH Entrepreneurship Summit a few months back. It was hosted by Penny Pritzker, US Commerce Secretary and an heiress to Hyatt Hotel Group..Tony had earlier met Obama when he visited Africa a couple of yrs ago.
He's really cool with Obama. He's only one out of 3 Africans on the executive board of Corporate America Council on Africa, which hosted the party for GMB and his entourage..
