kevoh: 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).

Mr_Anony: Did all these people commenting actually watch the video? Did the poster actually watch the video?
That lady is absolutely brilliant!

If you all had actually watched the video, you would have found out that what she came to do was to pick a business partner. Finances were not her issue, she already had that angle covered.

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.

illiteracy and Tribalism go hand in hand, Fyi raising funds[capital] for a venture deos not neccesarily mean you are broke...in most cases it simply means the founder wants to minimize the Risk that he might incure if he solely funded his venture.....Jack dorsey creator of twitter[millionaire by all standards] borrowed money to start his Venture square, Sean parker{d guy Justin timbelake played in The mOvie Social network} also borrowed a huge sum to fund his new venture(airtime)..that was afther he became a billionaire courtesy Facebook.....next time think bb4 you comment

lagcity:

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

Rooneyboy: Wetin come concern us with this one ?

obo_man: 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.

chriswely: I think lots of the commentators on Nairaland are just dummies and tribalists, so because she is Yoruba you abusing the poster for nothing whatsoever and those saying she is begging, your case is totally different, remember to take your medications though. Also, i will blame illiteracy (please note i refuse to call this ignorance of the TV Show called Dragon's Den), that said. This is simply brilliant of her. She is a superb entrepreneur, to have successfully used a dragon and Dragon's Den as her marketing strategy/ partner. Please, visit her site; www.internavenue.com

hamsky:

Sorry to say but you are very very narrow minded...if you had watched it properly you would've noted that the investor said she was financially stable. Those guys are some of the wealthiest people in the UK and I really don't think seeking their investment/expertise is anything to be ashamed of. Very disappointed at your commented.
