Imagine. This is more like rubbing it in the faces of the gullible Nigerians that were ripped off by the scheme.

A massive insult.

The problem with Nigerian business "success" stories is that there are too many gaps. Blatantly unexplained gaps.

Oh Jimoh Ibrahim organised a few seminars after he graduated from the University of Ife, and then one thing led to another, and then he found himself a billionaire some years later.

Oh E-Money sold Akara in the streets of Ajegunle and then somehow he started a freight forwarding business and then somehow founded a music label and then bam, he is a billionaire.

Ifeanyi Ubah pushed wheel barrows in Nnewi and gathered some money to start a trading company and then one thing led to another and then he started Capital Oil, and bam, billions started rolling in.

Oh yes, Daniella Okeke, Ini Edo, Chika Ike and the other trifling 'actresses' like them acted in a couple of mediocre Nigerian home videos and managed to save the crumbs they were paid to invest in 'one or two' ventures, and bam, they now live the high life - with properties here and there, and drive different multi-million Naira SUVs... With plenty adoring fans tapping their inexplicable "blessings".

Here again, this boy started packaging perfumes with N30k just two years ago, and somehow or the other, through his 'dint of hard work", he now has two outlets in high streets in Lagos and Abuja, with annual turnover in millions, I guess.

Gaps. Gaps. Gaps. Too many gaps. Only in Nigeria. In civilised countries, success stories don't skip the details. The real story is in the details.

Oga tell us how you wisely reinvested your wire wire or dating proceeds in an image laundering perfume business and stop spewing bullshit inspirational cock and bull stories.

PFRB:
When I see names like Arthur Eze and Peter Obi there, I see no hope. These are puppets

Arthur is a "puppet" to who?

Interesting pictures.

You be pikin? Nobody can force you to marry anybody. Just accept responsibility for the unborn baby, and that's it.

No law compels you to marry any woman you impregnate. Simple.

AreaFada2:
OP nothing do you.

Most babes nowadays are like that.
There is too much poverty in the land.
Many want beautiful things.
Guys are their surest easy way out.

With few genuinely non-materialistic ladies around. Hope you get one of those.

Even if a girl does not ask you, it does not mean she's not expecting from you like others. She believes you know the usual. If you do not do the needful, her attitude will soon change. Most anyway.

Most of those that manage to be independent are usually arrogant. Always announcing that they are independent, as if it is not how it should be. If independent, let your behaviour show it. Independent ones only want to date those who earn far more than them. And eventually marry up.


You won't easily find those who won't ask for money or expect without asking. They are so few around now.

You may not know the exact truth about your friends and their babes. They may not be telling you the complete story.

Good luck anyway.

Area Fada indeed. This is completely true. Nothing to add or subtract.

missjane:
As a lady, I can tell u most girls start making demands on guys they dont want long term relationship with, probably as a way of discouraging them from continuation. I can't say 100% of ur experiences applies to this case. Since u said u r fine..
Know this.. that even d most materialistic girl will mellow down at d initial stage of ur relationship to be sure u will put a ring on it..before she starts making demands knowing it's too late for u to back out.
Keep searching you will find d right one..
And pls if u start talking all intimate n about laying with them too soon, it makes a lady believe u r coming for her body.. so of course she go ask for house rent etc..
Let things happen naturally...

Have you gone to a popular hangout or club or even red light district before? You will see girls with finer, better, and more bootilicious bodies than you... Without any stupid demands other than the negotiable fee to pay and HAVE that body. So why do some of you foolish girls think your bodies are that special?
Because you think I want your body, you can then demand billions? Have you stood at a red light district in order to ascertain the REAL market value of that your yeye body?

Wouldn't I rather go to Pekkers/The Place in Lagos, or Caramelo/Ibiza in Abuja and get ANY of the super spec curvy babes I want for the night, for between N10k and N20k rather than put up with your house rent bullshit for a mediocre sexual experience.... Assuming sex is the ONLY thing I want?

I used to make a big mistake that I've stopped making because of a nasty experience I had very recently (story for another day). I hang out a lot and I see super hot girls that are essentially point and kill, summon and take home. . Yet I didn't use to pay them as much attention as I do to lesser quality girls I see in random settings like street corners in daylight, supermarkets, public transport, etc. This is quite foolish, cos if I see these same hustling girls in the day time in random settings(assuming I don't know them), I would go the extra mile to get them, not knowing that the joke is on me.

Because of the supposedly more fulfilling experience of chilling with 'regular' girls as non-sex-workers, the whole works, boy meets and toasts girl excitement, and the gradual progression to organic intimacy. Many times I've spent far more on 'logistics' to merely hang out with supposedly 'normal' girls, without sex, than I would spend on far more sexually appealing girls who are right there in joints, ready to go home with me and UnCloth for me to do whatever I want with them. It is ridiculous to think that at the end of the day, these same useless 'normal' home girls want the same thing the hustlers want (money), and are essentially the same people - merely differentiated by location and switchable identities.

I now know better.

Thieves usually look the part.

See snickers. Oluwa ooo. Do the needful Sir. E joo Sir. Tori Olorun Sir. Abi Enyi no leje Olorun, so Tori Enyi Sir.

Section 7 of the EFCC Act states: “The commission has power to (a) cause any investigations to be conducted as to whether any person, corporate body or organisation has committed any offence under this Act or other law relating to economic and financial crimes.

“(b)Cause investigations to be conducted into the properties of any person if it appears to the commission that the person’s lifestyle and extent of the properties are not justified by his source of income.”

This is an idiotic law, and a reflection of the stupidity and shallowness of those individuals responsible for ideating and drafting laws in Nigeria.

Assuming I am a self-employed individual, how can you determine that my properties are not justified by my income if you do not know what my income is? In any case, why should my source of income be a problem to you when there is no apparent or reasonable cause to suspect my involvement in any criminal enterprise?


I hate these kinds of primitive and retrogressive laws.

kimbra:
How about you bring yourself down when you want to woo a girl. This could be the issue.

You people are so confused. How many of you Nigerian girls would even consider a guy that "brings himself down" at first impression, in other words, that presents himself as broke or struggling?

The coordinator is coming of age. Coordinating everything coordinatable.

Looks more like he is posing on a bike rather than actually riding a bike.

This must be embarrassing.

Add umpteen zeros to that number. If it is the will of Allah, then they gather and recite in vain.

The great ones leaving this plain one by one. Very soon we would be left with only mediocrity. Seems they don't make greats anymore. Daniel Craig can't be Roger Moore, Justin Bieber can't be Elvis Presley, none can be Michael Jackson.... None can be Mandela. Where are the Mother Teresa, Albert Einstein, and so on of this era? Of similar stature and relevance?

The last of the cultural greats remaining can be counted on one finger. Oprah, Bill Gates (and it's not about the wealth), et al.

The looming mediocrity is worrying.

Bobby4090:
Black Face is not Happy

.
He has never been happy since he was born. So tell me. Something new.

These irrelevant hirelings should not be given undue relevance. Their useless opinions don't matter. I know Garba Lawal, and I know Shehu Sani, but who is Garba Shehu? These idiots should buzz off with their distasteful Buhari.

The golden age of Abuja is far gone - as those who had access to the gold rush - wheeling and dealing 'manna from Heaven' era of 2003ish to 2014 would attest to. When, for instance, you could 'happen upon' a life changing happenstance merely by being fortunate enough to be an eavesdropper in one of the bars in Transcorp Hilton. These days Transcorp Hilton is a shadow of itself. Swarming with fake ass pretenders, prostitutes, and relics of the lost age.

Then again, there is never an ideal time to make a fortune. People prosper even in times of war, disaster and acute famine. It all depends.

For those who have great social skills and are proven opportunists, you can try the underrated uber driving job strictly as a means to an end. It's a lucrative 'business' in Abuja if you're good looking, intriguing, can speak English with a cadence of enlightenment and panache, and can sniff and act upon opportunities. Let the wise ones get the message.

Classless nonetheless.

Dem don comot food for those hungry, dubious lawyers mouth. Very good.

DonFreshmoney:
So na una I dey always see for Caramelo shey.. no wonder, weekends and tuesdays/wednesday

Lol. Turn up on Sunday evening na, make we drink that their ice cold beer with correct fish. I go for enter Abj by then.

Stupid question.

Put yourself in that policewoman's shoes. If the madam (probably governor's wife or something like that) hands the bag to you to hold for her, what would you do? Decline?

Na so. The fucking monotonous (with annoying same live band every night) but unreasonably expensive Caramelo in Utako is the centre of this gist. Correct runz girls dey always full there sha. All the specs wey man need.

This guy's ballership is on another level. His wardrobe alone should be worth almost a million dollars.

Can someone tell me the kind of wire he is shooting? It can't be the normal one these Island or Malay boys do.

fineboynl:
Oga Abeg is name of a native herb's. used to sleep with women. it claims to give Strong erection and increased sex drive.

I just saw an abokki guy hawking it at a bus park. How does the thing work, and how effective is it? The Hausa guy is also hawking some other stuff that looks like groundnuts and saw dust in a small bottle, don't know what that does too.

aolawale025:
How can you arrest someone then ask for the source of the money. What was the basis for the arrest in the first instance? Some law enforcement have turned the anti corruption thing to a chop chop thing

You don't know how I'm boiling now. It is annoying. You can't arrest someone and start asking stupid questions about the source of the money.... And then when the person tells you the source, you unilaterally declare that his explanation is "unsatisfactory". What the Bleep?

Nobidy owes anybody an explanation about how he got his money (except when he is charged to court for obtaining it through illegal means, the he can explain to the COURT how he got it as evidence of his innocence).

This country is becoming more of a zoo each passing day. It is annoying.

This doesn't sound good to me. What does it mean to provide a "satisfactory" answer to the question of how you got the money in your possession? What does satisfactory mean, and who adjudged that.? The illiterate abokki animals in the DSS or what?

What the law says about travelling with undeclared money in excess of $10, 000 is that you would forfeit it to the government, not that you would be detained in prison and given a ridiculous bail... Especially when there is no evidence that the money is proceeds of crime.

Besides, since when did it become the duty of the DSS to handle this kind of matter?

Na wa.

yarimo:
THEIR WAS HIGH JUBILATION IN THE COURT, that means the woman want to kill him

Lol. Shit, I had to laugh like a deranged fellow, in public.

lonelydora:
Rabiu is badass rich man. He is even from the same place with Dangote. He has the best mansion in abuja. He is the owner of that castle mansion opposite Transcorp hotel. People argue daily as to who owns that house, not knowing it is Rabiu. He bought the land alone 1 billion naira.

The people mentioned above have not had access to government money before. Reason they make the list on Forbes. Dangote is not richer than IBB or T.Y Danjuma.

Mr Man stop spreading falsehood. That Greco-Roman style Mansion opposite Transcorp is owned by AA Oil. The quintessential deals man, and chief mover and shaker in Abuja.

A coordinator is just, after all, a mere coordinator.... In the same way that a caretaker is just a caretaker, not the landlord.

Welcome to the zoo called Nigeria. We don't need Nnamdi Kanu to tell us what we know we are.
