Many are missing the point of the thread. Obudu Cattle ranch died because of lack of patronage and no maintenance.

People rather go to Dubai and Paris than go to Obudu cattle ranch!

Why do they do it? They are emulating your Banza leaders!

One thing that you people don't understand is that Government can't sustain their own business due to frequent government change in policy every four year ... such investment should have been consesor to private firm for uptimal management

Reports claim that the Alaafin of Oyo was told to vacate his seat to make room for Chief Gabriel Igbinedion and his wife.

The incident has sparked discussions about respect, tradition, and protocol at public events.

Tacha the guy is making a good point. This has nothing to do with wherever he comes from. He is saying nothing but the truth, properties in Lagos are overrated and overpriced, simple.


2billion naira will buy you an amazing duplex in most highbrow cities in the US, UK, Switzerland, France, etc, now tell me can you compare any of the aforementioned countries cities with any city in Nigeria?


We are the reason our politicians are misbehaving and misleading this country.


The critic never said his state of origin is better than Lagos, he only said nothing but the truth that our properties are overpriced.


Every criticism of the government must be viewed with tribalism glasses

Anyone with money can go to MIT? Wow!

The way you guys diminish such great academic accomplishment ehn!

Lifestone:
interesting. The way he was forming/showboating, i thought he was invincible. People should know that you are powerless in the face of Government.
The Babalawos in Anambra has not been able to disappear. So where is the charm they all depended on?

fxexperts:
This is beyond madnes..

This is al madness, Tinubu is just doing anyhow and this will definitely backfire. I pay PAYEE tax running into hundreds of thousands monthly, which accumulates into millions yearly, and once a year I get paid some millions as a bonus, which is not taxed, and then this useless administration will now forcefully deduct tax from my bonus, which is not supposed to be taxed. This is madness.

Mbanda:
Why are you ronus afraid of the truth? What racoon stated in his post is nothing but the truth.
The same group of people you are yarpping about left Nigeria in 1967 to stay on their own. What did you do?
You declared war on them, just to bring them back into the fold called "one Nigeria". So you see, to us you are not making any sense.

Lastly, Obi did not lose the election eyeneck rigged him out in favour of tinibu.

Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to pull a kinfe on their partner, something must have led to it. We need to hear from both sides before giving a balanced judgement

Anybody who mocked kirks death is mindless and hearthless.

It's OK if u don't like him cos u disagree with his point of view, many people have varying opinions on different subjects but that is never a reason to kill anyone unless u are innately a criminal or despicable human being.

Foreigners mocking a political assasination don't deserve to be the United States. They are enemies of the state.

NinjaMetahuman:
I know.

Dollar is the biggest American asset. Nothing is back it.

They don't even need to work. They can just print dollars and buy free things from the rest of the world. Because everyone is just working to provide service for America.

We make their currency standard.

USA budget - 5.9 trillion dollars
Nigeria budget - 35 billion dollars.


If Nigeria is using 1 million dollars for subsidy on fuel every year, you think anyone would have cared?

And your answer to the bold was?

Mynd44:
What tires me about this nonsense is that someone who is from Lagos Island will say they are true lagosians forgetting the Aworis, Ijebus, Eguns, Egbas are also Indigenes of Lagos.

So Gbadebo is from Eko. Okay……

Me that I am Awori whose hamlet is at Isale Oja In Ikeja should fry beans abi?

U1:
Where did you read this? And did you mean money received into a bank account would be taxed? What if such is foreign remittance for upkeep or personal projects in Nigeria?

The maximum annual income that's tax exempt under the new tax law is not more than N1 million. It's actually 800k per annum, but there are unconfirmed reports of a probable 200k tax exemption.

This is not fresh news, actually. It's been around for months.

Gbam! This is how it is ! What about the unemployed and students that have account ! The BVN is for what again ?

Tayorshd87:

Tayorshd87:

I got married to a woman that loves me 100% but I just had this small like for her .
I went ahead just because I knew are geniue love for me ...

People do say love who loves you more 🤔
But what about if u don't really loves her too 🤔

Hmmm

I guess this is my problem or regret ☹️🙁


But she is 190% wife material every man is looking for though but I believe agape love for someone is natural or am I getting it wrong ❓

molas02:
Everyone just dey here dey form, I don't have regrets I don't have regret... Dey dciv yourselves. Marriage is sweet good and Godly but yet u will still have this kind of regret . Mine is that I love to marry like additional one. But am committed to my wife because she is perfect and beautiful

SisterAnn:
Well, I'm a woman and I have an opinion on this.


My only regret is putting all my cards on the table from the beginning. Nobody should put all their cards on the table no matter the relationship.

Brendaniel:
They were in charge of everywhere and the country was making progress, since you people pursued them, how has the country been going?

So you are saying that it is better the country is united and keep getting damaged because Igbos refused to allow Ijaw leave Nigeria in the past?

Brendaniel:
Have you ever supported them to have Biafra?

Brendaniel:
The big problem with you people is that ignorance is finishing a lot of you people, you think Igbos leave the south because the south east is bad, even if the entire south east today becomes like Dubai, Igbos will still leave the south east to explore more opportunities outside the south east, we don't reason like you people, China today is one of the most developed countries in the world, are their people not going all over the world even to desert to find opportunities, does it mean China is bad?

We don't reason like you people, so you guys keep missing why Igbos migrate, we don't reason like you people, we find opportunities everywhere we can get it...

The CR7 don’t worth 1 billion.
Of course. Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is a subject of much interest and is a testament to his incredible success both on and off the pitch.

As of late 2023 and into 2024, **Cristiano Ronaldo's estimated net worth is approximately $600 million USD.** Some estimates even place it closer to $1 billion when accounting for the full value of his long-term business ventures and brand.

He is the first footballer to break the $1 billion earnings barrier *from his career and endorsements alone* (before taxes and spending), making him one of the highest-paid athletes in history.

Here’s a breakdown of how he built his massive wealth:

### 1. Football Salaries (The Foundation)
A significant portion of his earnings has come from his astronomical club salaries over the years:
* **Al-Nassr (Current Club, 2023-Present):** This is his largest contract ever. He is estimated to earn **$200 million per year**, making him the highest-paid athlete in the world by salary.
* **Manchester United (2021-2022):** Earned approximately £26 million ($30M USD) per year.
* **Juventus (2018-2021):** Earned an estimated €30 million ($35M USD) per year.
* **Real Madrid (2009-2018):** His salary grew significantly here, culminating in a contract worth around €21 million ($25M USD) per year.
* **Manchester United (First stint, 2003-2009):** His first major professional contract where his earnings skyrocketed.

### 2. Endorsements & Sponsorships (The Game-Changer)
This is arguably where Ronaldo has separated himself. He has a vast portfolio of lucrative long-term deals:
* **Nike:** His lifetime contract with Nike, signed in 2016, is worth an estimated **$1 billion** over its duration.
* **Herbalife:** A long-term partnership.
* **Tag Heuer:** Swiss luxury watchmaker.
* **PokerStars:** Brand ambassador.
* **Clear Shampoo:** Famous for his iconic hair and commercials.
* **CR7 Brand:** His own brand (see below).

He reportedly earns **over $50 million per year** from endorsements alone.

### 3. Business Ventures & Investments (Building an Empire)
Ronaldo is astute at turning his brand into a business empire:
* **CR7 Brand:** His own hugely successful brand encompassing:
* **Underwear & Fragrances:** A cornerstone of his fashion line.
* **Footwear & Apparel:** In collaboration with Nike.
* **Eyewear:** Partnership with Mint & Eyewear Designs.
* **Pestana CR7 Hotels:** A joint venture with the Pestana Group to open a chain of hotels in Lisbon, Madrid, New York, Marrakech, and soon Paris.
* **CR7 Fitness:** A line of gyms.
* **Lifefitness:** Investor and partner.
* **ZujuGP:** A digital football platform where he is a major investor.
* **Real Estate:** Owns a portfolio of luxurious properties in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and New York.

### Comparison with Messi
It's a natural comparison. Historically, Lionel Messi's net worth has been very close to Ronaldo's, often trading the top spot. With Messi's move to Inter Miami and his own massive endorsement deals (particularly with Adidas and Apple), his net worth is also estimated to be in the **$600-$650 million range**. Their financial rivalry is as close as their sporting one.

**In summary: Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth of ~$600 million is built on a three-pillar foundation: record-breaking football salaries, unmatched endorsement income, and a savvy, growing business empire centered around his global CR7 brand.** His move to Saudi Arabia has significantly accelerated his wealth accumulation in recent years.

True bro.
Most of them Na better audio money in dollars.

rapheal5:
When both are in their prime footballers will dust musician no cap...But at the long run musician will catch up and dust footballers. If you check list of billionaires today you would mostly find entertainer ahead of footballers, most musicians get paid for life, as a footballer once you retire the money inflow stops.
MJ is dead but his music catalogs still generate money till date..
Footballers makes fast money in their prime but at the long run musicians money is everlasting..

Brytesp:
It's just because footballers don't show off the same way musicians do.. footballers only show off with trophies and medals not gold chains,cars and those stuffs.. and footballers are well disciplined but their managers.. if given the chance to show off am sure this geh guy won't be capping this

ediko5:
Musicians money Na audio.
A world class musician like Burna boy no near an average Footballer with good investments o.

Burna boy charges from $3m per show, do you know how much he spends on crew members per show and also to keep up his celebrity lifestyle?

A disciplined footballer who's reserved get big money pass big musicians

Smartguyboy:
Check his entire worth

You mention only CR7 but I can mention 3 billionaires
Musician for you
