I swear, this lad just made the world indebted to him even though he has turned down 8millas! He obviously knows his onions and won't have a problem getting multi-million dollar fundings for future projects. Instant gratification is not everything

Reason best known to him, Good decision.

Don't blame me. Blame my environment...

We are all not equal in every ramifications here. Upbringing and environment shape our worldview

We have smarter Nigerians who can do more than this young guy but we are limited with learning, infrastructures, and many other things. A nobody in Nigeria can be a greater person outside the country. Hail the shit hole
