Amotolongbo:
Let's break it down:
- 7 men + 7 wives = 14 adults
- Each of the 14 adults has 7 children, so:
- Total children = 14 x 7 = 98
- Total number of people = 14 adults + 98 children = 112

So, the total number of people is 112..

To those getting 63.
The question didn’t say each couple. It said each man and wife

we're all animals, what makes you think you're unique?, and FYI, we cannot stop living like them.

, before Christianity humans existed. We study humans not religion.

harmargedon:
come on bro, everyone can cook for themselves. It's not a woman's thing.
Aren't we animals too?

harmargedon:
when you compare what we call marriage to what animals that truly get married you'll see that we are just forcing it on ourselves. Pigeons are a good example, you remember how they used Pigeons for conveying messages in the old times. How did they do it, a party holds the other couple(female or male), then whoever needs to send a message attaches it to the pigeon then releases it. The pigeon will fly to wherever its partner is.
Pigeons will never mate another until if eventually it's partner dies. Its till death do them part.

But for humans, marriage was created for peace sake. Imagine dating a girl and another man starts asking her out, you'll be devastated right, and if you were to be in power, it would result to war. So paying bride price and owning her is a way to telling other men she's taken. But after that what happens, you start getting attracted to other ladies 'yes' that shows the marriage isn't for you. So you marry the second, third, fifth, till as much as your age permits.
If humans can understand like other animals, chickens and goats, we would just copulate for kids sake only.

Someome Trump is threatening to revoke his citizenship? Dude was born and raised in SA. I think he travel to the US on a student visa then started working illegally which would be enough grounds for his citizenship to be revoked by a hostile government.

mctech:
You have the same chances as he does if you are able to find your way to the USA and attain citizenship.

A friend who moved over said that the first thing he saw when he landed at JFK Airport was 'Welcome to the land of opportunities.'
He said that statement is indeed true. Dude is now wealthy. Another person said what he achieved in seven years, he can never get in Nigeria in fifty.

The founding fathers of the country intentionally made it so. The only thing that can limit what you can achieve in the USA is yourself.

Even in politics, the ONLY thing an immigrant can't be is the PRESIDENT.

🌍 Big Win for Nigeria on the Global Stage

Two Nigerian-born entrepreneurs, Adebayo “Bayo” Ogunlesi and Tope Awotona, have landed on the prestigious Forbes 2025 list of America’s Richest Immigrants — and their success stories are nothing short of inspiring. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Out of 125 billionaires from 41 countries, these two Nigerians are flying the green-white-green flag high in the world of finance and technology.
💼 Meet the Billionaire Duo:
1. Adebayo Ogunlesi – $2.4 Billion

Ranked 77th, Ogunlesi made his fortune in private equity, particularly through his leadership at Global Infrastructure Partners, where he’s made high-stakes deals in aviation, energy, and infrastructure.

Fun fact: He once served as an advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump. But trust Nigerians — we’re not surprised. Bayo has always played in the big leagues.
2. Tope Awotona – $1.4 Billion

Coming in at 106th, Awotona is the founder of Calendly, the popular scheduling app used by millions across the globe. He built it from scratch — and did we mention it started as a side hustle?

Tope’s journey from Lagos to the heart of Silicon Valley shows that tech money no dey discriminate — just bring sense, code, and ambition.
🌟 The Bigger Picture: Immigrant Hustle is Real

According to Forbes, 93% of the immigrants on the list are self-made, building their wealth from scratch in industries like:

Tech

Finance

Pharmaceuticals

Energy drinks (yes, really)

From Elon Musk to Jay Chaudhry, immigrant billionaires now make up 14% of all U.S. billionaires, controlling 18% of total billionaire wealth.
🇿🇦 Africa Representing Strong

Aside from Nigeria, Africa is holding its own:

Elon Musk (South Africa) – $393.1B

Patrick Soon-Shiong (South Africa) – $5.6B

Rodney Sacks (South Africa) – $3.6B

Haim Saban (Egypt) – $3.1B

Marc Lasry (Morocco) – $1.9B

Bharat Desai (Kenya) – $1.6B

Together, these names prove that the immigrant mindset — built on resilience, hustle, and smart risk — continues to shape the U.S. economic story.
💰 Top 10 America’s Richest Immigrants (2025)

Sergey Brin – $139.7B

Jensen Huang – $137.9B

✨ Final Thoughts from Eyes of Lagos

As Lagosians, we love to see it: Naija no dey carry last, especially when it comes to global money moves. Ogunlesi and Awotona prove that with grit and grace, the world is our market.

The leader of a political party is not supposed to dine and wine with leaders of another political party.

Especially with a traitor(Wike)

This is Nigeria

Abure is very self centered.

marriage isn't designed for humans, we're only forcing it on ourselves

BRICS summit ended since July 7. Today is July 12 and Nigerians don’t know where their president is.

Where is Tinubu ?

Newsgeek24:
6 Presidents

5 Standing

One Sitting

Me: I love the fact that Tinubu (Our Jagaban) is not there!.

Flame333:
This country won't have been worse the way it is today this man was in power.. it would have created a better president democracy where the people would be closer to the government

Kukutente23:
Maybe you truly do not understand English then.
These are your words



When I asked you to produce a video of Adamu declaring this on TV, this was your response:


So what are you trying to do now walking back a claim you insisted on

Kukutente23:
The above were your words. No need twisting things. Be humble enough to admit you were wrong

Recc:
What Does This Picture Tell You ?

After all, people often say, Pictures speak a thousand word.
Now, looking at this photo Buhari, the immediate past president, Tinubu, the incumbent president and Atiku the former vice-president, what comes to your mind?

The first two have dealt us. Now remaining one?

Kukutente23:
My argument is that it was never announced on TV by the party chair as you claimed
Simplicita

Kukutente23:
Always learn to keep quiet when you're wrong
Adamu never announced Lawan at least in public
The news was that he announced Lawan at a meeting saying it was Buhari's wish
That's totally different from your claim that Adamu went on TV and announced Lawan

Kukutente23:
Below is the screenshot of the first link. Vanguard reported dem say dem say from NWC meeting(not NEC) to fool the gullible to sell their papers.
There's no need to screenshot the second one since it's about Akeredolu's reply.
You said you watched it on live TV when Adamu announced Lawan as consensus candidate and even said the video is on YouTube. Kindly provide the video.
I'm waiting

Kukutente23:
You're being insulting in a bid to evade the fact that such video does not exist
Why are you telling lies? Are you Tinubu ni or you're related to him
Did he send you to help him lie on his behalf or you're being paid to do so.
This is childish coming from you

https://x.com/Aighodalo/status/1943252843512893735?t=kx_tToDPJi9hZeHjZOHIVA&[/quote]It is normal for losers to cry and protest.
What is abnormal Is to beat a child and expect the child not to cry.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Kukutente23:
Do me a favour
Paste the YouTube link where Abdullah Adamu declared Lawan consensus candidate

Kukutente23:
Lawan is from ANPP not CPC. And Abdullah Adamu never went on live TV to declare him consensus candidate. I don't know which TV you watched.
The issue of ungratefulness does not arise. Even Buhari had to come out then and debunk Tinubu's claim of making him president. APC was not just an amalgamation of ACN and CPC. PDP was also part of it with about 5 govs from PDP then. Those PDP govs can also accuse ACN and CPC of betrayal

cjfavour:
I’n 2023 PDP primary election, atiku agreed to step down for a southern candidate only if it will be micro zoned to south east but wicked Wike disagreed. Atiku can still do it again but that’s not what we want. We don’t want to gamble. We want to save Nigeria from the evil and wicked clutches of APC. What we want is atiku/obi ticket in 2027. Even if d INEC chairman is Seyi, no rigging can make this ticket not to win.
