Check out the list below; http://ugodre..com/2011/09/you-may-never-be-billionaire-if-you.html He then goes on to 'explain' why someone born in the 70s or 80s can't ever be a billionaire. Clearly, this is rubbish because I must be a billionaire one day. Or what do you think? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

This is Total Nonsense, Be it unto You according to your believe! What kind of approach can we call this? A blind philosophical approach with no sense of the current trends in this Next level of Communication Technology, Except you are limiting your dreams and aspiration due to your myopic personality to issues to the World in General.

You should try to be comfortable first, At least have some millions to your name, Most Billionaires these days only have it on papers with less worthy assets besides that they have taken all the money that belongs to the middle class as loan from the banks. |

The opinion of the blogger is true to an extent. You see such trends even on the Forbes list. The difference is in the sector of business Most Bills, are already in sectors of banking, oil and real estate, ( where na "normal sense" and government connection and compounding time of investment make them somehow to remain in a particular age bracket) Nowadays new bills, are in the dot.com- silicon valley - computer age sector (where na small pickins like Mark & Seun get okpolo wey if u no get u no fit get am*** so u have people in the older generation being angel investors to grab a share from this sector) Best wishes Seun , we will surely get there one day! |

He has a point sha. . Bu all of una just dey hala like say billionaire na for zimbabwean dollars. . Had he said we cant hit "millionaire" status, sure i wudda cussed him out, but lets be honest, most of us wont be billionaires. . millionaire and multi-millionaire status, we might achieve tho. . His logic is only faulty because he thinks billionaires are rigidly stratified according to decade born, meanwhile our generation has greater potential to produce more billionaires than their generation IMO. My own point be say no matter how u kabbash, billionaire status no be beans, no be by prayer cos talk is cheap. . Check the odds, not favorable i tell ya, 1 Like |

I'm more impressed by the replies in the cited blog more than anything else. Very informed, articulate, sound, and analytical. Regarding the issue at stake, I see the point the author is trying to make. It buttresses my unshakeable belief about life - one that even the Bible supports - that everything is about time and chance. The fastest may not win the race, neither would the strongest necessarily win the battle. Its all about time and chance. Certain generations have it easier than previous or succeeding generations. That's just life. 1+1 is not nececassily always = 2. Effort, talent and hard work are often meaningless if time and chance do not work in one's favour. During our parents' generation, for instance, all you had to do was go to university, make a decent grade, and a fantastic job would be waiting for you when you graduate. Is it so now? Lol. Same principle applies in big business and ease-of-access-to-wealth too. Bottomline is: It's certainly NOT impossible to become a billionaire - for those of us born between 1974-1984. It's just that one requires much more luck, favour, talent, hard work, and ruthlessness to become a billionaire than would have been the case in the preceding generation. No doubt. 1 Like 2 Shares |

what's all the obsession with being a billionaire this is exactly the same mindset that those "independence" generation had which eventually got us where we are. Einstein, Fermi, Wright brothers never billionaires. Pls Change the way you think ! Tell us you want to invent something worthy. then we will wish you goodluck! |

@Seun "You may never be a billionaire" is CLEARLY DIFFERENT from "You can never be billionaire". Stop twisting words for your own benefits!!! |

All those criticizing the write up are wretched people hoping one day they will hit their billions. They need hope and not this. Well my advice is that they become a millionaire first before thinking of the other step. When you get there you will definitely look for a way to cross. Being a millionaire does not mean you holding a million for a month or so. It simply means that you have been able to control millions within a space of at least five years and your income keeps increasing or falling withing the range of millions and not dropping below. Same goes for being a billionaire. If you are working hard on being a billionaire then you don't need any of this. What they write or say should not weigh you down, but if you are just sitting there hoping that one day God will bring a deal that will sky you to the top to become a billionaire and not a millionaire. MEN I JUST DEY LAFF |

Believe me, we all aspire to be great but surely not all will be. THERE ARE THINGS WRITTEN IN STARS THAT CAN'T BE CHANGED!!!!! Every man is born with a star and everyone's (star)destiny is arranged among a cluster of constellation, which determines your time/place of birth, your career, your fate, .your time of death, amongst others Every one has something written concerning him take it or leave it you can't change it. That blog is correct to a reasonable extent!!!!!!!! |
Re: Born Between 1974 And 1984? You Can Never Be A Billionaire! - Blogger by moremi2008(m): 9:43pm On Sep 24, 2011 |
The blogger has only extrapolated ideas by Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" to the Nigerian situation. He is probably right but nobody can predict the next wave of wealth generation in Nigerian and in the world. You can't underestimate the effects of chance political and economic changes on the future. These theories can only be proved in hindsight. The idea is food for thought though. 1 Like 1 Share |

And what if I say of all months billionaires were born that september is the most prominent with the most billionaires will anyone quote М̣̣̥̇̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ wrong? ♈̷̴̩ε̲̣̣s nigerian billionaires are young but I don't have respect for their money because of how corrupt our system is and indians aren't left out too, my billionaire roles models are abroad based! To that guy to said that bullcrap, nigerian billionaires may have monopolised the market through the help of the government but that's not an avenue to write especially 1984 folks off, I have no doubt, I mean it Once again I thank God the father, God the Son and God the Holy spirit for making М̣̣̥̇̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ a Multi billionaire! 1 Like |
