There's good reason why Warren Buffett is widely viewed as one of the most successful investors in the world. This past year, the Oracle of Omaha made about $37 million a day, topping a list of billionaires who made the biggest financial gains in 2013.

The kind of money normal people make in 100 years is what this man is making in one day.

Most normal and very lucky people with very great jobs earn less than $300,000 per annum. Well, It will take you 100 years to get what Buffett makes a day.

I just love capitalism. More on wsj.

crisycent: Na so big boys dey do am.... see pastor dey drive my dream car...choi. i go change my carrier.

You are right, bro. But change your 'carrier' when you can spell it correctly-career.

Wow...I made it for the very first time to comment.

I didn't watch the video and I don't care much actually. However, I must be very grateful for this moment. It comes rarely. All praises and adoration to God. I also will like to thank my family for the support for all the years.

My friends have been very great too. They are best. What else can I say?! I want to thank my pastor. Well, thank MTN for the good network this afternoon.

Thank Seun Osewa for taking his time to build Nairaland. It shall be with him. I will also like to appreciate every grandma. She is the best. I really hope she can see this. I finally made it.

To every Nairalander out there who's never experienced FTC, don't worry. Keep praying and working hard. Believe in yourself. Don't ever give up. You see there is a story of young man in the early 19th century who held on to his dreams of great accomplishment. It took him years and his friends mocked him. But in all, he made it.

I mean think of Tonto Dike and all the hates she gets from the social media, she is still pushing. That's the kind of determination and effort I want you to put in getting FTC.

Don't also forget. Prayer is the key. Don't every forget to pray. It works wonders. And keep believing.

Before I leave, I ll love to dedicate this great accomplishment to somebody special. So special to me. She is a person of Beverly of BBA. This goes to you. I love you, baby.

Thanks, guys. And I love you.

If anyone has issue with this accomplishment, he should take his bath, take a bike and hug the nearest transformer. I ll donate the bike money.

Take her back. Pretend you are still in love with her. Keep banging her. She is a hoe. Have fun treating her like one while the fun last. If your friend is still interested, no problem. Pretend you are not aware.

Why?
Cos that's what real niggaz do.


And for your friend. That's a bro. Bros for life.

Bro code 235:
Never fight a bro over a hoe. I mean, its in the bro constitution. Don't you read that?!

I have the entire bro code book by Sir Barney Stinson. Contact me if you want one. And I'm for real.

P.S.: Bros only. For more bro-wisdom, go to: www.brotips.com

P.P.S.: Ladies only. I am available for shower of love. 2A07DA1C. Don't tell anyone you copied my pin, alright?!

'Advice is equal limited experience plus over-generalisation.'

-Paul Burcheit, Creator of GMail. And founder, Friendfeed.

We all have different perspectives and experience the world differently. There is never a right way to do anything. There are wrong ways though.

Point is, there are no rules. Broadly speaking, we all have too few data points to give any advice. Which makes it an irony, humans love to give advice.

Personally, I love food but I don't like eating. I just like the idea of food. I will be ok with anyone. Cook or not. Just be nice and great. And see, I don't go lean from hunger. Life, to me should be simplified.

If you love to eat a lot, get a cook. Or learn to cook with your wife. A woman should have dreams too. That's all think. Just an opinion, not an advice.

Use your head and do what you think makes sense per time. And good luck.

P.S.: If you are a grad and open for a relationship. Let's talk. Be 21+ please and I like funny/playful people and be comfortable around a nerd. 2A07DA1C

Interesting list. I won't be shocked though if it happens that some people yet unknown earn more than these people.

In the scale of things, N38m/annum is not lot of money. That's less than N4m/month. I really think there are people who earn more than that, that are not in this list.

The COO in my former company, an ISP does. Not even a CEO. A good job in an oil company and you will have a starter salary of more than N10m/annum, matter of fact. Let alone a job as a senior mgr. My Engineering friends will agree to this.

Great list all the same.

Hi NL'ers,

We all read books every time. However, at some point there is always that book we read and refer to every time in our lives. Excluding religious books.

Mine is: Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham.

Go to www.paulgraham.com to know about more him. He currently runs Y Combinator.

The book is a combination of essays on different topics, quite amazing.

So I wish to ask: what book has had the most major influence in your life?! (Excluding Bible and Koran, please.)

Hi,

I wish to know please. That is, anyone living in Boston. How is life there for Nigerians?!

Also in terms of social experience, scenery, food, the people and basically having a good time.

What are the best things to have with you in Boston?!

Thank you!

This topic was created Jan 2012. Its making frontpage Nov 2013. 22 months after.

Whoever is behind this making frontpage is so brilliant. Bravo NL.

We need more of newsworthy posts like this to make front page for good information. Brilliant.

Internet Etiquette 101: Typing in all uppercase means you are SHOUTING. Its either you are being ignorant or stu-pid or at worse, a combination of the two.

Secondly, you probably don't know how to use smileys. You have too many of those in your post.

And to make every uncool, brov you are not funny.

My advice: If you don't have anything to say, just view the thread and move on. A lot of people won't find out you are stu-pid.

writers4hire: *yawns* jobless youths. Products of a failed society.

I wish to know what you do for living and how much you earn a month. Humour me.

Hi guys,

Happy sunday to everyone. I use NL to laugh most of the time. Great people to be honest. Very unforgiving when you make a stupid post as well.

However, I notice a kind of connection. Almost not something you would expect in a forum like this. Almost like everybody knows everybody which makes it totally cool.

I rarely comment on post. Most of time, viewing and just having a good time. Every time I'm here, a few names keep recurring. I tagged them the most popular folks here.

The purpose of this thread is call out the most popular Nairalanders.

Let's have your list(Seun is out of it, of course. ).

Mine:
1. Yuzedo
2. Abu Mikey
3. Sexkillz
4. Obadiah
5. Nadia_SA
...
I wish to make it to 10 but these are the names that popped in my head at the time of this post. If you know up to 10 names, kindly post them. Just for fun, no trophy o.

Who are your Nairaland superstars?!
List is subjective, of course.

Omexonomy: Replace all the senators and all the governors with new set of pupil you will still have thesame result

People not pupil.

horchukoh: So u mean shekau is a nairalander?

Haaaa! Make I sharp-sharp delete my account o.

Ishilove: The man died suddenly without any warning. Now on the way to burial, more people have died, including his own family members. I sense supernatural forces at work in this matter.

What kind of cult did this man involve himself with when he was still alive? He had blood on his hands. Blood for blood...

You don't even know how you will die yet. Do you?!

This is why:

www.quora.com/Mona-Lisa/Why-is-the-Mona-Lisa-so-famous

SirElaw: The only reason why I liked your post was that I was impressed by how stu.pid you were willing to get just to make pple laff.

Your sense of humour is dead. You must be a really sad person.

Tayeni: Yes its wrong. For me...... most of time I'm reading something or mentally preparing for something or simply want my quiet while traveling or commuting. It annoys me when that happens....d same reason its wrong for religious organizations to blast their public address syst outdoors in a residential area.
This is causing quite a rift in my otherwise peaceful neighborhood today.

Please send me your account number!!!

Chances are, Jesus Christ never existed. I hope the OP is aware of this.

azibit: 1. After burial, the grave tightens up and presses the dead.

2. It presses the Muslim like a mother holds a child. It presses the Kaafir (infidel) to the extent of crushing them, like the left side bones end up on the right side.

3. When the people leave after burial, the dead hears the footsteps.

4. At that time, two Angels called Munkar and Nakeer come ripping through the earth. Their faces look very fearful and scary. Their bodies are black in colour. They have green and black eyes, which are very large in size popping out, like the Jinn's eyes and they are made of fire. Their hair is very scary and long from head to toe. Their teeth are very long with which they rip through the earth. They wake up the dead shaking and rattling them.

5. With great strength with a deep voice, they ask these three questions:

a. "MAN RABBUKA" meaning "Who is your Lord?"

b. "MAA DEENUKA" meaning "What is your religion?"

c. "MAA KUNTA TAQUL FEE HAJAR RAJL" meaning "What did you use to say about this person?"

If the dead person is a Muslim, he will reply as follows:

a. "RABBALLAH" – "My Lord is Allah."

b. "DEENIL ISLAM" – "My Religion is Islam."

c. "HUWA RASOOLULLAHE SALLALHO ALAIHI WASSALLAM" – "This is Allah's Messenger, He has been embraced with Allah Ta'ala's Mercy, greetings to him."

6. Now, a Voice from the skies will be heard saying: "My servant has said the truth. Lay the tablecloth of Paradise for him. Give him clothes from Paradise to wear and open the doors of Paradise (Jannat) for him." The cool air and the sweet fragrance of Jannat will continue to come and wherever the eyesight can reach, the grave will be made wide and large. Angels will say: "Sleep like a groom sleeps". All this will be for the good pious Muslims.

7. For the sinful, there will be punishment according to their sins.

8. This punishment will continue for a time. Then from the prayers of the pious or from "Esaale Sawaab" (good acts performed by people for the dead's forgiveness) or from prayers for their forgiveness or simply from the Mercy of Allah Ta'ala, this punishment will stop. Then, there will be relaxation.

9. If the dead is a Kaafir, then he will not be able to answer the questions and will say "HAA HAA LADRI" meaning "Shame for I know nothing'". Now a caller will shout: "He is a liar, lay the table-cloth of fire for him, and give him clothes of fire to wear and open the doors of Hell (Dozakh) for him, from which the heat of Hell will reach him." There will be two Angels allocated to him to give him punishment and will hit him with great big hammers. Big scorpions and snakes will also bite him. All different kinds of punishment will continue until the Day of Resurrection.

Really?! Interesting.

1+1= whatever you choose to define it.

Like earlier stated, it depends on the operating base of computation.

An example of what I mean is this:
1, 2, 4, ? What's the next number in the series?

This is a common math problem and on lower level of thinking, it is safe to assume this is a GP series and then conclude the next number is 8.

However looking deeper, the next number could be 17/3.

(1x5 -3)/1 =2
(2x5 -3)/2 =4
...
So third term will be (4x5 -3)/3 =17/3

Point is: when asked such a question, technically the right answer is to ask the condition.

I use to see people hide their posts and it read thus... "This post has been hidden".

Babiloko: [b]d classic wrk chovot halevovot quotes dis beautiful parable......once a rabbi entered a king's palace nd was granted audience wit d king. Nd d king asked im a question,"hw do u knw d existence of a creator?". D rabbi respectfully askd d king 2 liv d room 4 a short time. On d table was a quill,an inkwell nd sum paper. While d king was out of d room,d rabbi wrote a very beautiful poem on d paper. When d king returned he noticed d poem nd was amazed at its poetic style. D ink was stil wet nd d king praised d rabbi 4 writing such a beautiful poem. D rabbi replied dat he had nt written d poem, rather, he had taken d inkwell,poured it into d paper nd d letters formed themselves. D king ridiculed such suggestion sayin it wud b impossible for d ink 2 arrange itsef into a single letter,let alone a word,let alone a sentence and certainly nt a beautiful poem! The rabbi replied, "there is ur ansa. If d ink in d inkwell cannot form a poem without d hand of a poet. Then certainly d world. Wich is infinitely mur complex dan d poem. Could nt possibly form itsef without d hand of a master creator![/b]

Well that can happen in an infinite time. You just have to wait.

If you can wait for a billion billion billion billion years, a monkey will write all the books on earth.

The existence of an object doesn't imply its creation.

I ll love to go into some physics to even prove that the universe might not have been created.

To create the universe you need:
1. Mass
2. Energy
3. Space

Mass and Energy can be converted to one another. So you need just:

1. Energy
2. Space.

Have you heard of 'Negative Energy'?! Google that.

Let me continue: It takes a blackhole to explode to form the present Universe we are in.

The universe couldn't have been created because a black hole has no time. You will need to do some reading on Einstein relativity to get the picture clearer.

In simple terms, there is no time in a black hole because of its super high gravity. Gravity so high, light can't pass through it.

If the universe is a resultant of the blackhole exploding, and we know it has no time, it will be stupid to think the universe would have been created because there is no 'before' the big bang. What time will the uniiverse be created in since the big bang is the beginning of time.

Unless of course, you are considering the possibility of another time dimension.

Have you heard of the M-theory. That's a theory proposing the possibility of other universes and the black hole could be a gate way to other universes.

Do you know you can theoretically travel into the future and the past by a matter of space-time warp?!

How about you know that the current universe is always expanding resulting in increasing entropy and more planets created possibly.

I ll tell you this: The universe is over 14 billion years and planet is just 6 billion years. Humans by the way, just 100,000 years or less. And we have over 10 to power 100 planet in our universe which gives a possibility of alien life. We will never find out sadly. We are too far away from even the closest galaxy.

My point is: the universe was not created for mankind. It is ego and self importance that make us various myth we call religion.

If you understand the basic workings of the universe, you won't ask the question of God existence.

The right question is: what is God?!

Define that entity and then we can start talking if he exist or not. And please don't quote any book. You will be committing a kind of fallacy-circular.

I recommend you read the Elegant Universe by Brian Greene and a video by Hawkings on 'Did God create the universe?'.

Have fun.

BTW, I am not atheist. I am a pantheist and also ignostic.


P.S.: So humans seriously think the creator of 10 to power 100 planets and other billion stars over 14 billion years would send his son to die for some humans less than 100,000 years old in some remote planet. Seriously?!

You call your God a big God yet you even consider the idea with your human brain that you are capable of offending the supreme intelligent being that created the universe. You call it sin. Don't you think that's an insult?!

I am out. Let me stop typing.

This is why I'm a pagan. There is no limit to human stupi-dity.

In other news, I heard end time has been postponed! Let's drink and merry, guys!

American Space Program contacted me for a mission. Highly classified. Aliens are already in our planet(its still a secret, don't tell anyone ooo) and I have been selected to talk to them.

Today is the day of the meeting with them. That's why.

I had plans o. I could not find my bible so I just moved on living my life like its saturday.
