But Elon's parents were rich. His mother is Canadian and he rode on her back to the US.

Rich? Middle class? So are millions of other people in Nigeria, South Africa, USA and every where. His father was not a multi millionaire, talk less a billionaire

For one it doesn't guarantee success,else MKOs kids will all be multi millionaires.
Secondly his father not only gave him nothing, he literally chased him and his Mum away.
Elon slept in his office at the beginning of his business and showered at the Gym.

As to coming to America, there are already tens of millions of people born in and living in America, why are they are not billionaires?

3kay945:
Well, I differ when you said she has low IQ. She may not be fully correct on the two points you raised. But others areas she mentioned was naked truth.
Probably she should have said it rarely happens for someone from poor backgrounds to rise to billionaires.

Nonetheless, most of what she said was accurate and on point!

In Nigeria today, how easy for someone to rise from poor backgrounds to billionaire It is possible, but the possibility is very close to 2%

She actually touched many aspects of Nigerian lives.. and I share same opinion on some.

Thank you for replying with respect and politeness , that's very rare in today's social media word.

I agree with some of your points.

Oga na you gan gan get low IQ and u senior that girl yet she wise pass u... Listen to her again... She said no billionaire is clean and mind you she is right about musk family musk family made fortune from apartheid in south Africa...MKO, Coscharis, belonged to a society and amassed wealth through dubious means... Now Mike Adenuga u dey mention make I no talk that one ask your neighbors they will tell u how adenuga is fronting for one the the top politicians n the world... Dangote' core family are rich and are farmers....

I mean no disrespect, but those are just excuses people make, when they fail to make it like they want.
They believe anyone who has made it is not clean.
No bro, people who fail, fail because they gave up.

TEYA:
That's not that girls first video that I have seen. She is brilliant and you are the one with a low IQ.

If you think she is brilliant than I am happy for you.

seanwilliam:
if it’s easy, you won’t come on here asking how to double 1m.


The post is a testament to the lady’s assertion.

Why would you think it's easy? That's the fundamental problem of many people.

It's supposed to be hard, it's the hard that makes it great. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

What she is saying though is that it's impossible, now that is at best an error on her part, and most likely a complete lie.

And as for me, I am always looking for and trying new ideas.

dumahi:
Well, I hope you won't get me wrong. With all the hullabaloo and razzmatazz about the idiosyncratic mania jostling around the serendipitous concoctions in her egregiously conspicuous use of hackneyed brouhaha,...

Well, let me just explain myself in simpler terms for the sake of mortals out here...

I meant to say that the girl was 50% right. And, in support of babzo, I read today that Elon Musk once lived on a dollar a day.

God bless you.

When people can't achieve their dreams, they start believing that anyone else who did achieve it had an unfair advantage, forgetting that anything great is going to be hard," if it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great "

RodgersAkpafu:
are you seriously saying the bolded?

All ye billionaire fan boys sha
una eye go soon clear

If you can show me the Emerald mine: name, location or Google map belonging to Elon Musks Dad, I will give you 100k!

seanwilliam:
Lmao, says you wey no no how to double 1m

See this man ...If I don't know how to multiply money, how did I get the N1 million?

We live in an era where every one believes anything.
While I respect her opinion, the very fact that she believes these two things below shows that she either has a low IQ ( I say this respectfully and no insult) or she is simply frustrated by life.

1) You cant become rich or a billionaire unless you have rich family. That's a lie.
. Maduka of Coshacaris Motors, MKO Abiola, Mike Adenuga in Nigeria, Oprah Winfrey, Jan Koum ( Whatsapp founder, he arrived America with less than $100 and lived on Welfare) , and many others have proved that . Over 50% of the richest people in America came from poor or middle class background.
Even though he had a job on Wall Street like thousands of others, Jeff Bezos over 30 years
ago begged 60 people to lend him $1 million to get Amazon off the ground in exchange for 20% of the company. Only 22 of them including some of his siblings and parents believed in him. If he was a billionaire, why was he begging for 1 million.

2) Anyone with access to the Internet who believes Elon Musks dad had an Emerald mine is either mentally lazy or has low IQ. The emerald mine is an urban myth created by people who have failed in life and looking for excuses to explain why others make it.

We Abia a watched it happen and ppl are happy.Okezie allowed the public school system to die in Abia State and then sold them off to friends.Even in Aba,over 4 schools were converted to private properties namely ;Old Ube primary school ,Azikiwe Rd,currently housing a 4 storey building and hotel,Old court primary school, housing a giant private commercial complex and others.Abia ppl reported it to Otti themselves.
The school children (pupils)are at home cos the nearest public school is now too far for them and they can't afford private schools.
You need to be here to understand the evil that took place in the last administration under pdp.

Those ppl crying knows what happened.Their own kids are in private schools,where should the one of the poor go to?
Imagine going to collect your FLSC and discover the schools are no more .
@focus7,no we will not.

Wow!!!

I seriously doubt this. Yes South Africa has one of the world's highest HIV infection rates.
But 41%? That's 1 out of every 2 and a half students.
And by the way, how did she conduct her survey and when was it done?

I hope one day more Nigerians will come to realize that no matter the tribe, religion or political party, the vast majority of Nigerian politicians are the same.
From the one who sends his kids to school abroad whilst he steals money meant for repairing schools in his state, to the one buying a new plane for meaningless travels to the one demolishing buildings without proper compensation to the one whose sole purpose in office is to acquire wealth and mistresses.

Calitoscassius:
Yes, i was. until one crazed guy pulled out his 44 millimetre and nearly shot me for issuing him a ticket. I ran away and never came back.

Haaaaaaaa...

Calitoscassius:
They are just forking words?! When i used to issue parking tickets to parking offenders they wished all manners of death wishes. That was like 10 forking year ago, clearly, as i said, they are just forking words! Because i am still here!

Ha oga, you are one of the parking attendants

Dream25:
Ukraine is not looking for a favourable position, they're looking for cheap PR...

It's senselessness that'll make you invade a country as big as Russia with just few thousands troop..

What can they negotiate with those small land?...
Russia is busy advancing in Donbass while Ukraine is deceiving itself in Kursk.. Misplaced priority..

Look at the map below and tell me the favourable position they're looking for..

Haaa...please read Art of War sir.
What Ukraine is doing if it can sustain it will tip the scale in its favor.

God bless you Akin Fadeyi foundation for standing for justice.
The least that DPO is guilty of is incompetence. But he may possibly be an accomplice after the fact. If yes, i hope he is arrested and charged to court.
Hint: Let the IG Special Task Force check all bank transfers made between that day and today.
I am 100% sure that Oga withdrew large sums of money to settle some people by cash or transfer.

Na wa. North does need serious protest.
Against bandits. Boko Haram. Almajarism. Massively corrupt Governors and Local Governments. Against APC and PDP.
But Russia as your savior

Bookhub:
Make una dey play. I have watched countless videos on tiktok where Hausa youths were calling on Putin to come and save Nigeria raising the Russian flag you guys really underestimate the north they are smarter than you.

Smarter? Yet literally the largest number of poor in the world where over 80% of the people live in poverty. Where millions of kids beg for food every day rather than go to school?

I don't think that's smart.

Smart would be Dubai or Singapore or China.

Was he a bad person or you just felt cursing him will ease ur pain...just curious to know.

" May Your Road Be Rough"

It's the Title of a famous article he wrote on January 1st , i think in 1964.

It's prayer of success.

Pain is needed for success.

In other words, don't wish it was easy, wish it was hard. The hardness and roughness makes success possible.

Streetdoctor:
I tink I hv to sound so tribalistic in dis aspect.
The most useless part of Nigeria is west coast. Imagine a tribe that voted buhari twice and still went ahead to vote and support same party, same man and same political ideology. I hv never seen a region so useless like west coast before

What the millions who didn't vote for Buhari and Tinubu in the SW?
What about the millions in the SW who voted Atiku or Obi?
Neither Buhari nor Tinubu got landslide in any SW state where the opposition got nothing.

Tribalism and racism are demon worship.
To hate an entire tribe or race is to hate their maker.

flyinnizam:
Sowore should not use this protest to chase clout, we mean business. the hausa and fulani slave tribe can't stop us

This statement alone is one of the reasons the protest probably will achieve only crumbs.

The tribalism is beyond understanding.

Don't supporters and opponents of the government come from all tribes?

Don't supporters and opponents of the protest come from all tribes?

Don't supporters and opponents of Tinubu, Obi and Atiku come from all tribes?

Don't the looters and destroyers of Nigeria come from all tribes?

Why then the tribalism? Shouldn't it be two sides or maybe three?

Those who want change, those who don't and those who don't care.

Just one move by the government could bring smiles to the vast majority.
Reduce fuel price by half or restore to pre May 29th 2023 rates.
The massive flamboyant amounts given to make life luxurious for the 20,000+ place Federal, State and Local Government political appointees and those of government boards is enough to make that move possible + the massive crude that is looted daily.

bassdow:
There ought to be a self test Kit like that for pregnancy. That way, one can do it at home or any where.

Because even if you go hospital today go run test between you and your partnner, what happens when one of una contracts HIV few weeks later come give the other.

One should be able to run tests almost on daily basis especially if you live a fluid lifeStyle

There are self test kits. 30 minutes. But for one,it's difficult to really detect HIV before 3 months after the person is infected.
Also it's important to do a 2nd test.

Anunakeeh:
It's not everyone that is gullible and will sit and fold their hands while watching the useless thieves in power raiding and bleeding the country massively.

Some people will choose any means to survive and take whatever they want by any means. Some will even leverage on the situation by saying afterall they have the biggest criminals sitting on the throne.

How does hunger in the land justify armed robbery and murder?

You think armed robbers are hungry? Or you think if the country was doing well and jobs are plenty, there won't be robbers?.

Wetin person fit do with social security card?

Where did you get it?

motymop:
you guys and over hyping cyber security analyst as if it is a very well paid job and pls dont tell me to search google for their pay.

all these lies about you all doing cyber security when in reality they are doing doordash and uber

Why would anyone lie.
Full time Uber can pay 70k to $100k a year.
Cyber Security entry starts from about 100k per year?

Uber is a good way to start in America especially if one needs quick cash to invest in small business thus creating 2 incomes that allow you work anytime any day you want.

DataCrab:
Bro educate yourself and know wetin you dey do ohh. That guy can sue you for using his picture in this type of thread if you don't know.

Not possible

But seriously even though I don't trust any politician, no matter the party; a donation of this kind seriously helps the poor. Burial consumes money and money is hard to come by for many.
If truly this is something his family has been doing for long and he used is personal money, then all is well.
If he used constitutuency project funds, it is somewhat questionable but not totally.
