What lessons exactly? How about you point out the lessons? The reality of the average Nigerian is different from the reality of Adenuga. The whole story does not provide any actionable insight for the average small business owner out there. It's just a tale of the son of a rich man who is bold enough to gamble. Even if he loses, he still got a fall back. I repeat, there is nothing to learn from the story.

you fall into the category of masses who feels their frustration is caused by the Rich or Mega Rich... you have no idea how many people went from grass to mega rich... there is a Nigerian like you, 24 years old, born into poverty but his worth Billions of Naira as of today. How did he do it, especially within 10 years?

The kind of story I like to read,the kind of life I'd love to live. Making serious business moves and playing those chess moves... Someday God willing, I'd get there and surpass this. I'm proud of this young man,Paddy.

dude is exceptionally good... kai.. exposure is very paramount.. i didn't get this early enough in life as my parent shielded me too much so much that 3 years after her death, I was still no able to navigate my way in the outside world... over pampering a child is bad

JideTheBlogger:
As in, the comments weak me...

boss, but this content was shared on facebook group by Ronald Nzimora, why u just dey see am now?

lalasticlala, mydn444, dominique, please this too deserve front page. Please I beg you all in whatever God you worship to push to front page.

Thank you and may your God bless you.

MrMcJay:
Just look at the comments on this thread and you'll realise that more Nigerians suffer from intellectual poverty than financial poverty.

The lessons to be learnt from that article are more than what some Nigerians learnt in their entire time spent in school and they don't have the wisdom to read and pick a lesson or two.

10 Years from now, Paddy would be a billionaire under 40, some people who picked lessons from this article might have surpassed Paddy in wealth but our dumb friends would still be shouting "I receive" in Church not knowing that their Pastors are also reading and picking lessons from this post.

Jesus christ... you killed all angle bros

222Martins:
Why do i have this feeling that he is trying to get a pat on the back or prove to society how smart he is or prove to society that he is not a daddy's boy?? Every business man has once in his life backed a deal that didn't sail through and they never made a fuss out of it. Dangote and Femi Otedola didn't sail through with their Blue Star Consortium backed by Tony Elumelu, Cecilia Ibru, Jim Ovia and others.

Now in retrospect, Nearly does not kill a bird!!! In big deals, there's no second place. It's a winner takes all game. I understand he was trying to stay within his circle of competence which is within the oil and gas industry. But with the kind of money and circle of friends he has, he would have just bought out or back a tech startup and ride the waves.

Update: Now for those that may have opposing views, i have read and re-read the article time and again. Aside the euphoria of the write-up, i observed the "I" factor. He credited himself too much, trying too hard to make us understand how hard he is. You paid your team thousands of dollars and you don't want to listen to them, you would have gone it all alone and save your money.

2. He lacks personal business experience. He got too emotionally attached to the deal. If there's one thing every businessman knows, it's that there's always another deal opportunity coming.

He had kept this thing away from people over 4 years ago but decided to write about it and here you trying to pull him down for whatever reason... have you ever shared your own failure? Give the guy some break please because we can learn from him, including you!

Toochukwu2017:
Somehow yes

Thanks... Hopefully, I will start with that in mind or likely increase it to 3.5M

please this deserve front page... help Nigerian youths away from BBNaija and Celebrities...

ycat:
Ok, but I doubt it if it's just on nairaland.

It is just on nairaland... and people who visit nairaland... make one igbo man see sexy curvaceous and beautiful yoruba babe whether him no marry am or even fork well, while forgetting the previous slurs he had with her kinsmen lol... i also want you to know that majority of Igbos spewing thrash are in the South East, haven't moved out.

Shuku0kukobambi:


Na only soldier work buhari sabi and if there's something soldiers know and imbibe very well, it's respect for superiors. He still calls OBJ his boss and he knows a verbal attack would do his struggling administration no good. Wetin he go use attack ebora owu sef?

Just wish he and his cabal will be sensible enough to heed the message delivered by the evil messenger otherwise he go hear wen!!

OBJ will write another one... just wait for it.

Deathlezz:
Toks is butthurt.

Listen, son, the only way a guy will ignore a girl and gets her attention is if the girl was into the guy but pretending all the while. If she isn’t, ignoring by the guy is just good riddance to unwanted pest.

But I wouldn’t expect someone who couldn’t keep his marriage to understand. You failed what you’re trying to teach, son.

Bro, even though you are right, using his marriage to get back at him was just too far stretched.and u called for.

2lateBiafra:
2019 SAI BABA BUHARI, AND NOTHERN AND SOUTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO RULE TILL YOU FALL IN YOUR GRAVE

GEJ supporters thought same too... Until election results came out. Just wait for it!

2lateBiafra:
Propaganda, This are this are armed robbers, not Herdsmen

wait for election Na... U go know how far people are to go to booth tour bubu out

Onijagidijagan:
The Fulanis has made Edo too their destination?

southerners are way too soft.

edo people no dey take nonsense. the Fulani was killed anyway, according to a reporter of the news on facebook. The body u see there is lifeless

EllySteve:
He was just kidding.

I know he is, but time is ticking and if he does not start making move, there won't be room for momentum. He is not even meeting with men... I suggest he meets with OBJ ooo...

And here is another one...


https://www.nairaland.com/4318612/fg-summon-channels-tv-over

His supporters have been reeling us with endless rhetoric of how Buhari will win the next election and how nobody else stand a chance...

if that is the case, why is he scared of ordinary social media, so much that since he assumed office, they have been trying different tactics to clamp down on freedom of speech by the citizens...

the recent one is this ===> https://www.nairaland.com/4318542/warning-circular-nta-staff-over

what is Buhari afraid off? what is chasing him?

rchilee:
I am inspired...young people can learn one or two things from this article

seriously bro... i learned a lot. the dude is way too smart.

I was just about to do this and decided to search first... so let me do my own combo...


lalasticlala, dominique,

stilldoingokay:
i swear that woman is an embarrassment to womanhood,

The fact that she bears my elder bros name as her last name irks me... I have never met any Souless Nigerian, who would embrace evil at the detriment of the masses that are dying per minute

tensazangetsu20:
Easier said than done. You need a certain level of experience and some license to stand alone which in most cases you won't get a chance to get.

hmmm... I had typed a lot to prove that I practice what I preach and even gave example of what I have been through in 9 months without giving up as I know what I want... but on second thought, I deleted it.

Only words I have for anyone reading this now is "Go Hard or Go Extinct" Your choice...

tensazangetsu20:
Many doctors don't even live a comfortable life. My mom is a consultant paediatrician and I know what am talking about. It's hell getting housemanship now and it's even worse hell getting a place for residency. There are so many underemployed doctors earning crumbs. Forget the hype, the reality in the streets is different.

Any doctor with a good dose of entrepreneurial spirit will cut his teeth beautifully.

Shuku0kukobambi:
He had better call both of them to order. How can an elder be in the house and 2 family members will be putting the entire state at risk?

If he supports Ganduje, he should speak up so Kwankwaso can find his level and if he's neutral, he should let them both know. It's this kind of inaction from Buhari that called for the action by Dr OBJ(Phd) of the department of Letter writing

rubbish... Because he knows it will affect his reputation. Why didnt he take quick action against herdsmen and other vices?

malonephill:
I didn't say online made him loss, but among it, whether we agreed to it or not social media is one tools used in 2015 election..... And GeJ was victim of it

yeah, I can say that my decision against GEJ was the machination of social media.

olujastro:
Inasmuch as Buhari has his own failures, chief of which are:
Being to slow in taking decisions and actions as a president.
And failure to address the herdsmen crisis once and for all.

Else, I'm OK with the government's strides so far especially in terms of infrastructural development.

I'm not one of those people expecting magic in a short period. People who gave PDP 16yrs and didn't get good roads, electricity are judging this government's and APC's performance based on lack of 24hrs electricity in less than 3yrs. How unfair?

I choose Buhari for 2019 over all these names coming up so far.

You are bloody liar. Who told you GEJ or PDP didn't build road or improve electricity?

Desyner:
Sadly that's how the average Nigerian politician thinks.
A typical "human animal". Human in form but an animal in instinct.

not Senator, it is how an average Nigerian thinks... Pride and ego is their thing.

AustineE1:
@Ngenekwenu this is very difficult time for you and other Buhari E-rats,its very hard to sale a candidate that is not saleable. A man who has failed woefully in every aspect of governance. It wiil only justify the 'shithole country'statement by Trump,if Nigerians ever votes back the monumental failure and irresponsible leader.
I wonder how some of you Buhari supporters sleep at night,knowing that you are part of this evil imposed on Nigerians....indeed,many men have sold their conscience for a pot of porridge.

they are just being a typical Nigerian that has no soul or conscience but self-centeredness

couragemath:
Can you give a quote for the electrical work for a 4 bedroom bungalow

bro, please kindly answer my request. I am planning to start mine this year, 4 bed to bungalow too and a break down of your expenses would go a long way to help.

How much did it cost you from foundation to roofing and plastering?

CharleyBright:
We are saying the same thing. Buhari can only win if he gets the South West votes.But a lot depends on Ahmed Tinubu. What is his disposition about Buhari. And of course, what is the Southwest reaction to the Cattle Colony agenda?

Tinubu can't do shiit. Reality has reset a lot of brains. Is it Tinubu that bears the burden of fuel price hike twice? What about increased food cost? What about millions of job loses? Bros, reality has done justice.

The North don't know what a better life is so They can vote Buhari.

And if Buhari wins the next election, I will give up on this country.

UncleJudax:
Which Kind reasoning be this? Why Una Go always follow this route? If nobi a particular Person, Nobody Else!

Oga... Buhari cant do anything Differently If given another 4 years...why Not replace him?

So, after 2023, then what? Third Term?

There are better Nigerians everywhere. The Problem is that is this big Parties almost always Present the worse for top positions. Abeg If na KOWA bring better candidate, why Not vote for him/her?

If APC cant replace him... because they feel, He is all they have got, then it is the duty of Nigerians to Crash that Party....Vote them out!

That is Nigeria for u. Many of them are so selfish and self centered that they think of only themselves because they are being paid by this current administration... They are forgetting that they won't be there forever and their unborn children and grand children might suffer the consequences of their actions.

kratosonofzeus:
Yoruba will say ENIKAN LOMO, (u knw it when u experience it) do u thinks STD's are nt real, hmmmmmmmm

whatever rocks your boat... I said sex is not my thing... it does not mean I go about forking all girls... till date I have not had more than 10 girls, I think it is less than that. I can bet your number is more than that Mr Counsel!

purem:
I remember when I was still a kid, I have a sister that always discuss about guys like you with her friend.

There was a guy I use my sister name to be collecting money from which she doesn't know about.

Guys will never get sense when it comes to been a maga.

Cc Lalasclala Dominique Mynd44

lol... sex is nothing... I have girls I could fork of I want but I never base my relationship on that.
