Only Nigerians are busy destroying Africa's image out there. This is really shameful. You left your country destroyed by your mentors for an organised country to also destroy it? Some people get mind shaa. Awon da, bi moti da eeyan |

His 1st wife died at the age of 70 in 2018, if still alive by now, shed be 76. How do you expect them to respect our age data when the number one citizen isn't sincere with his? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria's case is becoming alarming. There are many ladies doing hookups and registered on several dating apps with different names, looking fresh but battling HIV virus secretly. They're looking so fresh because they're constantly taking their ARVs . Same with guys who are registered on those apps. If you like yourself, just stay away from sex and stick to your spouse if you're married. Avoid sugar mummies abeg 8 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: Tinubu Panel, Dangote Refinery Agree On Sept Petrol Rollout by Eriokanmi: 1:59pm On Aug 20 |
Ikaeniyan0:The utopian someone lied to you and in your usual habit, you took and swallowed it. Those of you supporting this corrupt regime pretend to love this country whereas, you're her worst enemies. Your reactions have shown on NL. That's what they said that his diesel refining arm won't commence operation in 3 years. He proved them wrong and they came up with sabotage, first setting his refinery ablaze and secondly, saying his diesel was substandard. The enemies of the masses are the government, just because of their selfish interest I smelt rats when they asked dangote to be buying crude locally after he had said his petrol will flood market in August. I knew it was a move to frustrate him and prevent him from carrying out his plan. Had dangote remained adamant and pursued his plan to purchase crude from abroad, the same people would have accused him of unpatriotism. Recently, they said crude supply to dangote was delayed but they gave no reason. How would dangote flood the market again with the non availability of crude? If I were him, I'd jettison that arrangement becasue with these same saboteur in place, September may not be sure for him. |

FreeStuffsNG:@sweetkev. I had not even read you guys' posts before I sent mine. We all need to take caution when studying history posited by all these white guys. They've distorted history about africa and world history massively. We also don't value ourselves and no thanks to our corrupt leaders who always play stooges to them. They hid a lot from us , making it look like we had no history. They made us believe we're inferior. Thank God for the discoveries of those mummies which proved the history of Egypt and the pharaohs were true and accurate. We migrated from Egypt back in the days. Why are we not white in yorubaland just the way those who migrated from Arab country of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, iran and entered Nigeria via Burkina Faso down to Niger and Chad? When our forebears left Egypt, they took along idols which the old Egyptians were worshipping before ottoman turks invasion. The moment the man declared jihad in Egypt and started killing idol worshippers and those who refused to embrace Islam, our forebears fled Egypt. If all the decentants of of oduduwa could be blacks but those Arabs who migrated from the aforementioned countries who are up north today and called fulanis with their pointed nose are light-skinned, then the Egyptians of old were black as seen in that picture. I read in the bible that the man who carried the cross of Jesus Christ was a black man from the part of what's called Libya today. Libyan early occupants were blacks but succumbed to the ottoman war. The skin colour of most of them had shown. The white skinned among them were migrants from the arab world who later settled there after the ottoman conquered them. Only Ethiopians resisted the ottoman war and the reason they still retain their real black skin till date. The war ended at their border. Though some Arabs later mixed with them by way of marriage during the mass migration era 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Business / Re: 40-Year-Old Anambra Men Building Large Corporations by Eriokanmi: 8:53am On Aug 20 |
Nice . They won't learn from this guy's entrepreneurial prowess now. Shukudi will leave Anambra with nothing, come to lagos to learn trading. After gaining freedom, his boss will open a shop for him as their tradition demands. Shukudi will sleep inside his shop for months, later he will rent one room apartment. He will cook and eat inside same room. He doesnt have time for feferity. He's only seen with 2 clothes and 2 trousers. Later shukudi will open another shop, now invite someone from his village to stay there. Meanwhile the landlord will wake up in the morning and be playing ludo with awon omode adugbo who are jobless. His children too are indolent, chasing girls around. Instead of the landlord to ask his son to be following shukudi to his shop and learn trading, he won't look in that direction cos to him, it's a waste of time. One day, shukudi will ask the landlord to give him a flat and he will pay a higher rent and the landlord will chase the occupants away and convert the rooms into a flat, out of the advance paid by shukudi, who would invite boys from his village as he opened the 3rd shop to stay there. They'd all be staying inside the flat. A few years later, shukudi will meet with the landlord and ask him to sell the house to him for an attractive price. He will gladly accept and shukudi will pull down the entire building and erect his mansion or a shopping complex with 3 bedroom flat on the last floor where he will be staying with his family. Later, the landlord and his children will be threatening shukudi to leave their land....which land is that? Life is a process. Follow it and you'd not be disappointed. If you can't beat them, join them and stay happy. Don't be a spectator. Only spectators end up threatening others cos when others are busy shaping their future, spectators will be busy looking. When these guys are suffering, nobody sees them but when the money comes, they'd say they're ritualists. Money rituals don't last. Don't join them in indulging in it if you dont want to die miserably and untimely. Learn from others instead of being envious of them. That's the secret successful people won't tell you.

Politics / Re: Terror Group From Niger Republic, Lakurawa Kills 4 Soldiers In Sokoto by Eriokanmi: 8:46am On Aug 20 |
opamoses1:Believe the FG lies at your own risk. They're Nigerians and from Nigeria. Niger Republic has been relatively peaceful since the ousted alquaeda sympathiser leader was shamed. They once told us bandits and cattle rustlers ( who were still same boko haram but called different names) were foreigners from Burkina Faso. Today you and I know it's nothing but lies. Turji and their ring leaders in zamfara are known but they can't near them. Most of the children of Northern emirs and religous leaders are members of boko haram. The last time I checked, military leader is now in Niger not civilian. It will be tough for any group to cause chaos there as we speak. 1 Like |

RodgersAkpafu:I agree with you on the fact that there are conglomerates operating here...those who had well-established companies in their home countries but came here to have an extension. Those ones have the financial muscle to carry on. But that's not to say there are no individuals too, who came here with one travel luggage and became a multi millionaire in less than a decade of arrival doing legit business. There's a story of one Cuban old man I heard on tiktok. He was interviewed and asked if he ever ran at a loss and he said never! That he entered USA in '79 with just $400 but today, he's a multimillionaire, he made 10m in a year in revenue. Meanwhile people must have existed before he came,only livingng on salary but can't boast of 100k usd balance btw 1979 and now in their account. He's even retired meaning his wealth keeps working for him. As you're no longer in the system, it's no more unethical to mention names my broda. I always support my comments with proofs. I mentioned names in my previous comments cos most of us are always in doubt or skeptical whenever someone tries to proof a point, especially on NL. Dola Adelegan is a popular name, likewise Xantrex engineering, the US company, which he represents . Go to a First Bank branch, look at the atm side and you'd see a Xantrex inverter powering it, installed by the wall side in their banking hall. It's not hidden. Sky cargo is popular too. Nobody can arrest anyone by doing this. We all remain anonymous here. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember the email address I used to register my moniker on NL anymore. Feel free to mention names cos it could invoke some people's courage. The business terrain in Nigeria isn't smooth, tbh. But the chances of survival are still there. Risk taking isn't for those with monthly salary mentality, just to survive, or a weak-hearted, not in any sphere on earth bro. I came in with an hazardous management solutions system in the oil and gas industry, later, I delved into Healthcare software solutions. Nobody is bankrolling me. Recently we added another line. |

RodgersAkpafu:I've given you enough instances and have wished you good luck wherever you are as well. I think that's enough. Nigeria is a great investment destination despite all the threats. It may not be for everyone, including yourself. I'm a living witness. I've got 3 thriving investments already. That said, let me correct you on one of your submissions. Most of the Chinese who came to invest in Nigeria that I know had nothing back home and that's a fact, there's nothing delusional about it. They've got no profitable divisions anywhere as you said. I had a Chinese friend back in the days in Buffalo, upstate NY. I'd say he's inspired me a lot on investment. He once told me Chinese always thrive where there's crisis because they're number 1 risk takers and it's really working for them. They're world largest economy today. In 2003, my Chinese friend said he's going back to China to start a business, then bring it back to the US and make money. I Invited him to Nigeria. He spent 2 weeks and went back. He said he's found an opportunity within 2 weeks of visiting. He had no single investment in China, he's a fresh graduate. He came back and established a logistics company called Sky Cargo. I was the one who gave him a guy to assist with CAC. Today, he's a leading Chinese cargo and sea freight company in Nigeria. Google is your friend. Their warehouse is in Ajao Estate in Ikeja. We graduated same year in US. He's a big boy today. I know of another Chinese who deals in building materials All the Gerald roofing sheets used in Nigeria come through him. He came to Nigeria with nothing. I know his hometown in China to tell you how close we are. The Gerald called milano, which he gave me free still dey my warehouse. It was this guy who told me of his friend buying computer and phone scraps . Their factory where they recycle it is located after Shagamu interchange. I see it along the road when traveling to ibadan each time though I've not been there. He didn't go to school as much as we did. He spent months in lagos with his friends at Aromire street, Ikeja where Chinese stay. He was always researching. Today, he's successful. Go to oshodi you'd find hustling Chinese on shorts and slippers taking wax clothes orders from sellers. Once they agree, they'd bring them to their doorstep and collect their money on delivery. Some of them came with nothing but today, they're big boys. 2 Likes 1 Share |

RodgersAkpafu:That's why its called risk cos you never know what the outcome will be, despite having your feasibility and business plan done. Only risk takers are always outstanding. Tell me one among the billionaires or successful guys in the world both past and present who had never taken risk? There's no softlanding anywhere for risk takers. If you failed, you rise again by not giving up. Just read about those who are successful today. Imagine Chinese, Japanese, Indians who keep coming into Nigeria despite all the security and economic threats. Nigeria is way cheaper that mostt of the African countries. I know this because we work across the border. I ate eba with vegetable soup at an African restaurant in New York in June during my visit. That money will feed 4 guys in Nigeria to the fullest. I had shared the story of my uncle by the name Dola Adelegan here b4, a distributor of Xantrex Solar Inverter. He left America for Nigeria to market solar inverters late 90s. The company first rejected his application to partner with them back home. He was a store keeper at Walmart then. Later the company reconsidered his application and invited him for 2 wks free training and told him he must leave america for nigeria to market it and take along a few samples which he did. His friends told him that village people had won the battle over him when he said hes going back to nigeria. When the ATM revolution erupted, the CBN mandated commercial banks to patronise him. That's how he became a billionaire. How did he win the heart of CBN? On arrival from the USA, he marketed the inverter at CBN and other govt parastatals. CBN said they'd not need it cos they had 3 standby generators, in case they take light but he said but the demo installation was free and he'd remove it later if they don't like it. He now installed one at their IT unit . As God would have it, the national grid collapsed and they were running a gen 24/7 for 2 weeks. All the 3 gens packed up. The day the 3rd one packed up, the directors were panicking. By the time they got to IT dept, they discovered they were working as normal. The solar inverter did the magic. That's how they called my uncle to an emergency meeting in Lagos. They first thanked him for saving them data loss. They now asked him to install the inverter on all the CBN branches nationwide. Those saying village people had won the battle are neither here nor there today. He's the one taking them out each time he visits the US. None of them had finished paying their mortgage till now. Meanwhile my uncle now owns estates . 4 Likes 1 Share |
