Otondo according southwest media

Are you being silly for the sake of being silly?

BeautifulMind2:

Anioma is in Yoruba land

A vast majority of them have clearly declared they are not Igbos, nor are they Yorubas.

So stop trying to claim Elumelu as Igbo.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/12/blackrock-buys-global-infrastructure-partners

From this article, one can deduce the hierarchy of shareholdings of founders at GIP.

1. Bayo Ogunlesi
2. Michael McGhee
3. Matthew Harris
4. Bill Woodburn
5. Jonathan Bram
6. Raj Rao

ThierryJay:


As in ehn. I know fit laugh. The guy is just displaying his ignorance of business investment architecture quite blatantly. He just wants to argue without knowing details of what he's fishing about for.

It's like someone carrying a gun and pointing it at himself unknowingly.

Honestly, his post got me laughing out hard. I struggled to hold it.

I was like "What the Bleep am I reading here from this guy".

BeautifulMind2:

Make una keep fooling yourself on Forbes Africa magazine, Elumelu has shown him the real Odogwu in reality

By the way, Elumelu is Anioma.

Raskimonojendor:

You mean the likes of Emoney, that fat one from Owerri and the one that sells hot drinks in the night club, and one that's always displaying an awkward peace sign on social media. Those are your so called billionaires.

Otedola is worth $1.1Billion dollars as at yesterday. Tony is around $700m.

Otedola is worth more than $1.1Bn.

He has sold up one of his biggest assets (Forte Oil) and Forbes does not look at cash in hand. They only value mostly listed companies.

A large fraction of Otedola's assets are not listed companies and I would not be surprised if they add up to another $200m+; and this is minus his money in the bank or in bonds.

BeautifulMind2:

Nothing like jealous, I'm give you facts, he is not the owner of global infastructure stop deceiving gullible minds, Global infastructures is owner by Credit Suisse and General Electric

Illiterate foolishness!

BeautifulMind2:

Ignorant minds

Global Infrastructure Partners was established in May 2006. Two founding investors in its first fund, GIP I, were Credit Suisse and General Electric. Both committed approximately 9% of the US$5.64 billion of GIP I's committed capital.

You really are the one that is ignorant and an illiterate.

My God!



A Investment Fund is different from Corporate Equity.

Those that own capital in the fund are just interest-seeking investors and own no share in the company.

Those that own the equities of the corporation own the company.

Are you kidding? He must have been a billionaire for some time.

No, he is not a billionaire.

fostermd:


Ogunlesi is Chairman, major shareholder and will receive with his partners 3 billion dollars cash when deal is signed by summer and 12 million units of Blackrock shares worth 9.5 billion dollars.

He will continue to head the portion of GIP that Blackrock purchased.
From Financial Times

How do you know he is a "major shareholder"?

Ofemannnu:
Congrats.
How much shares does he or his company have in Blackrock now or is it total takeover?
If it were me I wouldn't sell but I know the Whites will fight him with everything.
He is a gem to have stirred the GIP he started in 2006 or so to control finance portfolio of more than $100 billion.
Nigerians are doing great things.

Which "Whites" will fight him with everything?

This victim mentality is why many of you will never achieve anything in life and will die in poverty.

The usual stuuupid "they hate us, they are jealous of us, they want to destroy us" victim and loser mentality.

grandstar:


He is a founding partner. He therefore must have shares in the company.

Even a 10% stake should enable him attain the billionaire status.

There 6 founding partners, but there is NO CHANCE the firm became this big without institutional investors' money.

I doubt the 6 founders own up to 10% of the business. Even the founders of BlackRock that is buying them do not own more than 1% of BlackRock combined. Institutional investors own about 80% of BlackRock and all employees are given shares.

The founders of BlackRock actually have only like 0.10% to 0.30% (the highest share percentage owned by any of the founders).

So the likelihood Ogunlesi owns more than 5% of GIP is very slim to none.

ivolt:

Unlikely.
Shareholders not director/CEOs controls the money.

Thank you. E no know.

grandstar:
This should push Mr.Ogunlesi into the billionaire ranks.

Not a chance!

PHOTONEWS : Ebonyi Governor, Nwifuru Buys SUVs For All Medical Doctors In General Hospitals

No Long Stories!

Find below, the SUVs procured by Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru for all the medical doctors working in the General Hospitals across the State, to ensure they are at work seamlessly and respond to duty calls.

This in no small measure will give them good confidence and assurance of their welfare, having been employed by the State Government. It is meant as well, to ensure that they do not convert the hospital ambulances to their private cars. All the SUVs have been paid for and all of them delivered.

Talking of ambulances, pictures 5 and 6 show some of the ambulances procured by Ebonyi State Government for the General Hospitals. 52 were paid for, but 20 have arrived. The rest will be delivered soon. The Governor intends to have 2 ambulances for each General Hospital in Ebonyi State.

Ebonyi State is on the rise, and our Chief Servant is leaving no stone unturned in that regard.

The Governor will deploy them soon, according to his esteemed discretion.

Another anywhere belle-face politician.

Animals that wear suits to look respectable but have no brains.

I don't see how this is going to help solve long-term problems; just a show-off act that would impress other monkeys.

justtoodark:
thunder fire you....stay in france....!!

nonesense....

Useless, worthless "yoot".

maasoap:

Why 1? Why 3? Why 8? Why 20? How many siblings do you have? Why?

Because a small amount makes sense.

I have only 1 sibling.

But even if I had more than 1 sibling, this is the 21st century, not the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s where the world was less crowded, more countries were resilient (including Nigeria), you did not need expensive technologies like laptops, smart mobile phones, internet connections etc. to be competent enough educationally to compete in the world and Nigerian public universities were competent enough.

So why would you have 4 or 20 children in this modern age?

Why could you not have maximum 2 or, at the very worst, 3?

Another monkey puts on a suit to campaign to be governor.

Baboons that have no quality education or achievement want to come and rule with their anywhere belle-face approach.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo warned our leaders many years ago when he said, "The children of the poor you failed to train will never let your children have peace".

The North is now facing their choice of ignoring Western education in favour of Quranic education and for refusing to see mass quality education in general as critical.

After 50 years, we are still seeing cut-off marks of 1% to 20% for the best Northern students; the leaders are not ashamed that they have not closed the gap in 50 years!

maasoap:

I have four too. Remember that economy was better than this, generally. Though, I'm not on a salary or fixed income, larger percentage of income are now going into keeping the same number of family members than before. That's all with me

Even when the economy was better than this, why 4 kids?

Free2Fly:


I've 4 cute boys and i'm capable of taking care of them

What the hell are you doing with 4 kids?

Jeon:
None, my kid[s] will not be a citizen of this nation or smell it sand.


Amen!!
☺

Since you are LGBTQIARDSFGGDASS, we join you in saying "Amen" to that.

Good prayer!

Leebeedo:


I will make sure you sleep in severe pain tonight. Here is a summary of my expenditure for few months from my banking app. I suspect you dont know how to read charts hence the need for a brief explanation. For Jan alone, I've spent over $14k. Can anyone in your lineage ever........ ?

You dey crase!

Show us your personal account and the INCOME coming in every month for 2 years.

Leebeedo:


You really carry my matter for head and it is obvious you're in severe pain. I'll give you some hints though. A DevOps eng in US can earn as high as $15,000 monthly and some work 2 to 3 jobs remotely. Won't that amount to $45k monthly? I know some guys that even do up to 5 jobs at the same time. Just like I stated in my post earlier, change your mindset!

As high as?

Na me you think say na mugu wey you dey use "as high as" for?

A waiter in the USA can also make "as high as" as $8,000 per month.

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-worlds-highest-paid-server-shares-his-proven-secrets-and-techniques-in-time-for-the-much-awaited-re-opening-of-the-hospitality-sector-301318231.html

So, I am a waiter that earns $30K per month in USA and Canada. I do 3 jobs.



Mugu, person would be paying you $15,000 per month and you will have time for 2 other jobs paying that amount?

You used juju to wash their face?

And you are the same person happy to have saved 5K just 2 years ago?

Aro Patient!

BloomingDale:


I think cos of Lagos, which gives Yoruba people a big advantage, just like USA leads the world cos of USA advantage. Other people from other regions should try and remove eye from Lagos and develop a Lagos in their own region to be able to compete fairly. Igbos and Benins are the only ones trying.

While Lagos might have far more commercial activities than anywhere in Nigeria, it does not have a monopoly.

I don't think unique locational development is the reason/advantage of why Yorubas appoint women.

If you go to a place like Zamfara, both public and private sector engagements are virtually 100% men. Same is pervasive in the North and some other parts of Nigeria. This has nothing to do with Lagos being in Yoruba land. It is a mentality and culture.

Women having opportunities to get to the top is more about average educational levels & quality, local culture and general open-mindedness.

When Leebeedo's medication kicks in and he sees this message, you are going to make him faint.

RenaissanceGuy:
You mean saving $5000 cash in 3 months as far back as 2 years ago is not an achievement?? You just ended up validating him because he provided screenshots of the dollar notes and two years after on a different thread he still claims he earns in dollars — so no atom of lies there.

Validated to simpletons like you if you believe someone who was struggling to save $5,000, just 2 years ago, moved to the USA and became one of the top 0.01% earners in the USA from "IT work" after working as a cleaner for 6 months and also joining the army before moving to IT.

So he has less than 1 year western experience of IT, at best, but is one of the highest paid IT people in the world?

Many of you have low IQ and are gullible!

Let me guess, you follow a pastor that promises you prosperity and miracles?

Later, you will boast you are intelligent and a "graduate".

Leebeedo:


That's y you're poor-because of your mentality. You believe no one can make that much monthly. Sometimes, I consider myself lazy because my younger bro makes more money than me, even though I work very hard. I never settle for less, I consistently try to make more by improving myself.You should embibe such philosophy if you want to make it in life.CHANGE YOUR MINDSET SO AS NOT TO GET STUCK IN POVERTY!

Aro patient with his fantasies!

Leebeedo:


It's not your fault at all, na Nairaland and insomnia give you the opportunity to talk thrash to me. You won't be able to utter a word if you see me in person. That piggy bank image was spare change I put together within 2 wks after I bought a $110,000 car, paid cash and was temporarily broke. So when you throw insults here, look well cos I'm not on your level. I pay one of my workers about N4m monthly, he'll feed your generation.

They need to pin you down and force-feed you your medication for the morning.

Your delusions are wild!

Leebeedo:
What is your Salary? N37m/month (I earn in USD)
What is your Position? IT Engineer
What is your Qualification? MSc
How many year/s experience? 5
Organization or company name? Can't disclose
Lastly, tell us your location/state? Lagos & USA

This is the person making 37m per month?

He won't be a dishwasher for life. When I moved to the US, I started as a warehouse cleaner, withing 6 months, I enlisted in the army and now, I work from home (IT).
I was fairly comfortable in nigeria before leaving but decided to leave just to give my children better opportunity in life. If I had stayed back in nigeria, my pay would have been around 200k/month now. But trust me, I spend over N1m on giveaways monthly which wouldn't have been possible if I had decided to stay in nigeria.

Mental patient is fantasising. Nigeria don finish am, e think say im don japa while being tied up in Aro and forfe-fed drugs.
