MissGdope weldone. Although i wasn't aware of this interview and i cant find any other key campaigner here. Even though it isn't the official interview, next time mention us. The support helps a lot trust me. |
wristbangle:[b] Let me take your points one after the other. Even though my initial posts has addressed all the points you have raised. Firstly being successful doesn't equate being wealthy. When Bill Gates started Microsoft he wanted to make a difference, he wasn't thinking of being wealthy. He approached Apple Computers a couple of times and his idea was turned down, he then went on to build an Empire from nothing. Being successful is attaining excellence and fulfillment in whatever path you have chosen in life. Meanwhile wealth is a product of success and it is relative to different individuals. Influence on the other hand is the capacity to have an effect on the character or behaviour of someone or a group of people. Putting that into perspective you don't have to be extremely wealthy or be on Forbes list to have influence. Typical examples would be Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Albert Einstein, Christian Amanpour, Barrack Obama, Vladimir Putin, etc... The ironic part to it all is that many celebrities are far more influencial than Carlos Slim Helu who is the 3rd richest Man in the world. Since you have decided to pick Forbes as your SI unit for measuring influence. Well you can have a bite at the TIMES 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE . You would also notice that the TIMES categorized them under 5 columns to give room for a more balanced comparison. Which has been my point since this argument over Wole and Dangote began. [/b] That aside, speaking of wole soyinka and dangote comparison, let's face fact both are well respected but dangote's level will ofcourse be more because forbes often believes that men who makes the world's richest list are noble, do business legitimately and contributes to community development( jobs, projects, etc) Here you come again with another unjustified propaganda. . How do you know what Forbes believes? The manner in which you personified Forbes would make one think Forbes is just one man. Legitimately? Since when did Forbes become the IRS? Forbes only publishes as much as they know. End of story. Dangote no doubt has created Job's but you have to also put into consideration that he is a business man and by default needs people as much as they need him. Are you aware Forbes has a Top Givers List? Maybe you should check it yourself to see that when it comes to humanitarian service, some folks who aren't on the top 20 richest in the world are making top 10 on that list. Did you know Warren Buffet once said he wasnt going to give out his wealth until he dies? Well thank goodness he changed his mind around 2006. ![]() On the other hand, some one like wole soyinka can be viewed as a noble man in terms of academic achievement mainly. The only impact of this Nobel laureth is limited but the question you should ask yourself is how many jobs as his achievement brought into the life of Nigerians! Stop thinking like the average Nigerian! That comparison is flawed and there is no basis for the juxtaposition. I rest my case. ![]() |
ireneony: Chop kiss jare!!

tosyne2much: Now you are outrightly being a kid by @ Bold. It isn't about superiority. Have a good day! |
skywalker888:[b] Hhehehhehehe!! You couldn't even sense the sacarsm in that part of her post. Let me ask you a very simple question though, if you were as rich as Dangote would you send your kids to a Nigerian polytechnic or even university? This isn't about letting people know one can argue its about facts and figures. You lots keep saying the same thing based on conjecture. Ever wondered why Nigeria is in a shitty state right now? Because everyone is looking for a "GET RICH" scheme. Misplaced priorities and this kinda reasoning is why things would remain the way it is for a long time. No one is saying Dangote isn't respected but there is no scale to measure two individuals in different field's doing remarkably well. Going by your logic everyone should be an entrepreneur and become a billionaire else they wouldn't be respected. Seriously? Who are you kidding? ![]() Stop thinking like the masses, everyone has a purpose. Not everyone would be Aliko Dangote or Mike Adenuga. Find your purpose, fulfill it, make an impact, thats all that matter's. Keep this kinda money minded mentality and you wonder why we can't fight Corruption. [/b] |
henrylowe: Naturally ko, Artificially ni!! ![]() For you to even think a Nobel Laureate winner is poor only proves that your IQ is below room temperature. ![]() What's stopping you from robbing a bank? ![]() Ode!! ![]()

tosyne2much: @Bold Not all bro!! How many Agbero Chairmen with all the money they have command respect outside their circle? Money rules but it isn't everything. Plus i was only trying to let you know that comparing two remarkable individuals at the echelon of their careers is totally wrong. They both command respect. |
tosyne2much:[b] Tosyne you are my padi but you are goofing big time. The argument switched to GOOFY lane when you decided to compare Aliko Dangote and Wole Soyinka. What on Papa God's verdants earth makes you think Prof is poor? I still dont get your first paragraph though, i hope you didn't just imply that Prof Wole doesn't have a source of income? If so you just migrated from GOOFY to SCOOBY DOOBY DOO lane. ![]() Biko don't be ridiculous abeg! ![]() Did you just type forget Ben Carson and Wole Soyinka? I bet you didn't just do that. That must have been "Autocorrect" playing a fast one on you. ![]() Tosyne wake up ooooo!! Which date? . Stop creating scenarios that have a logical answer. Let's assume that even happens, ever heard of the term "rescheduling"? Well one of them would have to reschedule and before you think it would be Wole Soyinka, that would solely depend on both of them to decide. ![]() Yeah money rules the world yet the top 4 most influential and powerful people aren't the billionaires. The Pope is among the top 4 mind you. ![]() [/b] |
Kachisbarbie: I think he keeps missing this part. @Bold @RED... Exactly that's their argument and to think they had to pick Dangote vs Soyinka as examples is just hilarious. And Tbh not everyone would be a billionaire, so the whole argument is flawed. |
iAmCharis: Abeg Lecture this stubborn girl ooooo ![]() Very soon dem go begin compare Rice and Beans which one sweet pass. ![]() Elton John isn't as rich as Dominico Dolce and Steffano Gabbana niether is he "poor" ,but when the renowned designers/CEO's called his surrogate children synthetic, he lashed back and called for a boycott of their products. The business men didn't consider his threat on social media a goof and immediately tendered an apology knowing that what he said could affect their companies sales. That's Influence. |

ireneony: You too stubborn ![]() Kukuma come my house make i know sey you mean me. ![]() Have a lovely night. |
ireneony: You are just a stubborn gal that has refused to learn. . Oya sidon lemme school you one last time ![]() Now you have switched to popularity contest? Funny thing is you type as though you have a survey backing up your points. There are loads of people who aren't as rich as Aliko Dangote that are far more popular than he is. Popularity and being famous doesn't equal IMPACT. Even Anini was popular at some point and history books still reminds us of him. ![]() My point is IMPACT and i would reiterate the same point i made earlier. Both men are fulfilling different purposes and would be remembered for their contribution to humanity. There is no basis in comparing both of them. It's like Comparing Warren Buffet with Ben Carson. If you still don't get it then you would have to wait till rapture so that Jesus can explain to you better. @Bold you nor well oo ![]() |
ireneony:[b] Are you seriously kidding me? Invest in our local dialect? Going with your line of thought, "Who local dialect don Epp?" ![]() Your basis for comparison is quite hilarious. Forbes creates various lists for different purposes. Your assertion though largely false because Wole Soyinka was 2nd to Chinua Achebe at some point on the "Top Most Powerful African Celebrities" and perhaps he is probably number one now considering Chinua Achebe is late. It's like comparing Henry Ford with Albert Einstein. Did Albert Einstein create Jobs or build factories? Yet Henry Ford did and thousands were employed. Today both men are still remembered for their distinct contributions to the world. Life is about impact and to be honest with you not all rich men would be remembered and a perfect example would be William Shakespeare whose books are still being read, whose life story is still being told on the BBC yearly. Yet who remembers the richest men in his day's? And what exactly would stop Wole Soyinka from standing in the same room with Bill gates? Don't be ridiculous. ![]() "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts" - William Shakespeare [/b] |
