When you put your utterance into perspective and recollect that someone some years ago became the first internationally reputed would-be suicide bomber from Nigeria- Abdul Mutallab- the son of a wealthy Nigerian (also a top banker in the country), who also schooled abroad, in UCL, one of the United Kingdom most prestigious University, it surely makes your utterance very foolish, one must say.
When a Nigerian quotes like this,he's surely far from sanity!

Dude I understand your frustrations, you are nothing but a looser. The okonjos did not prevent your palm wine and ogogoro drinking parents from sending you to havard neither did they prevent them from stealing to send you to MIT. I guess, if you had the opportunity, u would have stolen more. No one holy pass!!!
Dude,from this quote,it shows you and your parents are epic butlickers,you can't phantom a way out of your frustrated and pathetic life,how the hell did you make it into humanity?you're a sorry excuse for a human being.This quote is surely from an intellectual midget...you pathetic simplet¤n

you assume being rich (best schools, mansion, best cars) automatically makes one intelligent right? i have met more smart poor dudes than i have met intelligent rich dudes. intelligence is also subjective you know.

he wrote that book in 2004 (albeit published in 2005). so when you say he has/had the funds his mum carted away, you mean the ones his mum stole during OBJs government.

you also should realise this thread is about his book and the movie and not his mum's financial mismanagement nor about corruption, nor about APC/PDP.

He had intelligence met with opportunity but how many of elites have poor kids?do you know the millions that would grab half of his opportunity?there are far more intelligent and poor people in Nigeria who can't afford the best education if you'll agree with me he's so boxed up to direct or shoot a movie,how many Nigerians won't do better if they had the funds?being rich adds to intelligence especially knowing the shambles our tertiary institutions in Nigeria is.

he is neither directing nor shooting a movie. He wrote a book. My point is that "it does not neccessary follow that he is intelligent because his mother (or father) is rich"

he could (with a very high probability) still be intelligent
