Arrrrrrrh

Have you seen where a girl bash a guy she don't want that is disturbing her life? I don't know why you can't do that..

Oga don't mix pleasure with work. Forget woman and do what brought you. The way am seeing you might as well fall for her demands one day.

Just tell her to avoid you, that you ain't those kind of guys if not her husband will hear.

I love woman but you see those ones that want to destroy the good I have, I won't condole them at all.

Neddstark:


Retarrd is still masturbating on his assumptions.

Neddstark:


I swear, nobody is poor on Nairaland. Everyone can feed and send other people to school. By the way, Buhari is not my mentor. If going to school made you make your opinions based on assumptions, you are a waste of education. Money used for funding your studies should have been used in pig farming. It would have paid off by now.

Neddstark:


IF these people had a mindset like yours and blamed Buhari for everything, they would never have achieved what they did.

efighter:


That’s Great. Never stab a fellow G at the back. The Yoruba Demons Association and the Sweet Boys Association are very proud of you.

As for the other Niggas here snitching on fellow guys, just know this, we the Yoruba Demons and the Sweet Boys will get your girlfriends and dicck them real good that they will dump you.

11. The combination of Giannis’ ability to increase local economic activity, fill the seats at their new $550M arena, and consistently sell merchandise, has had a direct financial impact on the Milwaukee Bucks.

Bucks Revenue:
2013: $110M
2019: $283M

That's a ~160% increase.


12. New media deals have obviously helped, but considering the Milwaukee Bucks consistently stayed between ~$70M and ~$90M in revenue throughout the prior decade, the impact of Giannis Antetokounmpo is undeniable.

And unsurprisingly, the franchise valuation has exploded.


13. From a franchise valuation standpoint, check this out:

Bucks Valuation
2013: $312M
2020: $1.58B

But hasn't every franchise gone up?

Consider this...

The average NBA franchise has appreciated ~300% since 2013, while the Milwaukee Bucks have seen a ~400% increase.


14. Not only is @Giannis_An34 a great player & person, but he provides tremendous financial value to the city of Milwaukee & the Bucks.

Giannis went from selling DVDs & CDs on the streets of Athens to support his family to the highest paid player in NBA history.

Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a $228 million dollar extension with the Milwaukee Bucks yesterday — the richest contract in NBA history.


1. First, some history...

Giannis Antetokounmpo was born in Athens, Greece, shortly after his parents immigrated from Nigeria in search of a better life.

But as immigrants situated in a small town with a floundering economy, Giannis and his brothers had a rough childhood.


2. As a child, with his parents unable to find consistent work due to their immigration status, Giannis had to help provide for the family.

How?

Giannis & his brothers spent hours each day selling watches & CDs in the streets of Athens.

"I was good at it. I didn't give up.”


3. In 2007, now 13-years-old standing over 6ft tall, Giannis played basketball for the 1st time.

Falling in love with the game, Giannis worked out multiple times a day for 2-years straight.

"I’m working to be in the NBA … because I know, at some point, I’m gonna be in the NBA”


4. After years of training by himself, Giannis joined the Filathlitikos’ youth team — eventually moving to the men's team a year later.

Now 15-yrs old—playing against men in their 30s—Giannis showed immense potential.

By 17, now 6-foot-7, the gym was packed with NBA scouts.


5. In 2013, as a skinny 18-yr old that had never been to the United States, Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks.

The #1 pick that year?

Anthony Bennet.

Seen as a developmental prospect by most, @Giannis_An34 went straight to the weight room.


6. After putting on over 50 pounds of muscle, Giannis Antetokounmpo has turned into a generational talent.

— 2x MVP
— 4x All-Star
— NBA DPOY

The best part?

Giannis was rewarded with a $255M extension yesterday, the richest contract in NBA history.

Even better, it's a bargain.


7. From a local economic standpoint, @Giannis_An34 has carried his weight in gold.

A Bucks playoff game brings:
— $3M in economic activity
— 2,500 hotel room nights
— 700 jobs

Remember, the @Bucks have made the playoffs 5/7 years with Giannis — compared to just 2/7 prior.



8. From an attendance perspective, the Milwaukee Bucks have seen an increase since Giannis joined the team.

Avg Attendance:
2013: 13,487
2019: 17,602

In 2019, the Bucks had 36 sellout games—their most all-time—while TV ratings were up 32%.

Without Giannis, that doesn’t happen.


9. Aside from attendance, Giannis Antetokounmpo has provided great value from a merchandising standpoint.

An example?

In 2019, not a single NBA player outside of LeBron James sold more jerseys than Giannis Antetokounmpo — including superstars like Stephen Curry & James Harden.


10. Aside from personal jersey sales, Giannis Antetokounmpo has also lifted the value of the entire @Bucks brand.

Merch Sales:
1. Lakers
2. Celtics
3. 76ers
4. Raptors
5. Bucks

For a small market team like Milwaukee, being ahead of the Warriors & Knicks is extremely impressive.

It doesn’t change the fact that your comment was boring and cliche. Try to be original in your life. Every single time someone wants to share their experience, it’s still same boring line you see in the comment section. Don’t you guys ever learn anything new in your life?

Some of you are not properly brought up and it is troubling because the number multiplies across cyberspace on a daily basis.

shortgun:

You need to learn to behave in a public forum like this.
Calling someone u don't know derogatory names will not add a penny to ur bank account, it will do u know good.

If u like follow wisdom

Goldie16:

What kind of rubbish is this oga. I can't believe that these things you're saying is from a human being with a father, mother, sisters, brothers etc. I feel such pity and heartbreak for you sir. Wow. Do people like you really exist. That's terrible of you

SenecaTheYonger:


Guy your previous comment was boring and cliche, unoriginal. Try to be original with your comment. Notice than you had only 4 likes because we have seen those kind of comments more 100 times in a day.

SavageBoy:


With all due respect sir, your head is not correct

stayclearofme:

Why not shut up if you don't have any sensible thing to say.

gregyboy:
