Please moderator, this is my thread. If you don't like it, start your own.

You are not going to go far in this life with this attitude.

Anyone who read the subject of this thread would think she was a beggar on the street not knowing she was actually speaking with investors for a business idea.

And in fact she was impressive enough that at the end of the day they invested in her and in her business idea.

Stay there in nigeria yapping your mouth about someone who got more than 50000 pounds (N12,500,000) to launch her business idea.

Poor poster hating on the rich.

Even if she don't have cash,her idea alone can fetch millions of pounds.

You stay there with mtn easy go easy win.

There are different categories of beggars. Even the FG begs.

I love her pitch! And I'm really inspired just listening to her.

This is called big time begging not what is done on the Nigerian street?

Advocate66, take am easy na . . . Atleast she is ready to put in some (good) work.

The poster na real Ode. Your mates are starting business and going into entrepreneurship, you are here on Nairaland beefing,saying she is begging for money.

OP got it right. With her education she shuld pitch her portfolio to investors or a loan manager at least. Yes she is begging

CuntDestroyer: OP got it right. With her education she shuld pitch her portfolio to investors or a loan manager at least. Yes she is begging

How did the op get it? You think she went there to get £50,000 or to make contact. Did you not see she picked who she wanted at the end?

You think every successful business is all about money? or you were hoping for her to start the website in Naija?

advocate666: We are not talking of anybody's daughter here.

What happenned to all the family money? Yoruba PEOPLE!

His daughter is begging for £50000 in UK.
Half a day fasting by GEJ will pay double that amount. So put it in perspective. Not that big an amount. Won't even buy a good 4x4.

Ppl like u never amount to anything because they always depend on parents' money. That young lady will continue to self-motivate and pull herself up by her bootstraps while your pathetic family continues to gossip and wither away from kwashiorkor. U were probably a kwashiorkor baby who couldn't get enough nutrition for your brain

Well done girl!

After Abiola raked in billions from the ITT scheme without giving us anything in return. One would think he would have made provisions for all his children so that seed money, as his daughter is making a pitch for here, should not be a problem for anyone of his children. Dan Barawo

CuntDestroyer: OP got it right. With her education she shuld pitch her portfolio to investors or a loan manager at least. Yes she is begging

So Mr Genius, what is she doing ??

Good for her. Hussling things...

Super.. this is breathtaking. I wish lots of our nigerian youths can be poised with self confidence and presentation skills.

Stupid! You guys just started arguing like that smh

Some pple on nairaland r just annoying and stup**id...sey what is wrong with going to a show for pple to invest in ur idea...Or u guys forget when OSAZE ODenwingwe nigeria player sister came to dragon den in lagos to request for money..will u call her a beggar cos her brother is a billionaire...everybody has to work for his own money...

Class warfare initiated by the never-do-wells.

Shey Nah Dupe una dey call Dupsy?

Some stupid comments here..........


This is not begging, this is a bright woman pitching her ideas to investors..... If you go to banks to ask for Money to set up a business, do you term it begging?


When you pitch your ideas to them, they then ask for equity. This implies that they own a percentage of your business. How is this begging?


When I first watched the show, I saw a bright, smart, eloquent and articulate woman. A woman most men would like to have as their daughter. While some of her female colleagues are looking for Yahoo Yahoo boys to marry, she has chosen to set up her own law firm.

Only an I.diot on Nairaland sees a beggar.

Seems I'm missing soemthing here....OP, u don edit this thing? Cos I dont see wetin dem say u talk....

Ha ba OP............I just read wetin u put ....how can u say this now....Even Steve Jobs pitches his ideas to investors....even my very good friend Mark of Facebook ....dey pitch....wetin wrong with that..... see...lack of education no good oooo....Seun....u need to start screening people before dem post rubb.ish ontop ur business....and come to think of it...u make this guy moderator....Besides...dont u know going on shows like this make people know about ur business, even if dem no invest in ur business....na free ad my guy....

There is no place as misleading as nairaland. The mods are a representation of what El rufia was talking about.
Any thing to draw traffic is allowed even if it has a misleading caption

Why was Dragon's den even stopped in Nigeria? We need shows like this to motivate/encourage our unemployed graduates that there is still hope if you are innovative enough not maltina dancehall,nigerian idol, Big Brother Africa (this one annoys me the most).

Dupe or Dupsy.

Thank God Abiola was very popular. She'd have changed her surname as well. Abiosy or something along that line.

The poster, and his co-horts have a very disgusting mindset. They're the problems with Nigeria.
