Why are people so pained and why must he be a liar. @70k dollars,we are talking about 840k dollars annually. How much do the vehicular purchases if some of your favourite artistes come to within a year ? I laugh in Burna !!!! U are going through hell financially does not mean some people are not experiencing heaven on earth in this same country. Broaden your minds and horizons because a win for our entertainers is a win for our collective future. Black athletes and entertainers have been killing it for the past 3 decades in America but unfortunately most of them have lost their fortunes. The pendulum has swung our way and our only advice should be that they don't squander this entertainment windfall,the kind their predecessors could never ever fathom. I have always known Brodashaggi was doing extremely well financially,but earnings do not equate money in the bank. From what he makes,he has to run his production studios and engage the services of other actors and crew who are involved in what we summarily refer to as skits. He might not retain 70k dollars monthly,but mind you hèhas a crazy instagram following which makes him one of the most bankable influencers. Una headache just start oooo,he is doing very well and so can you,if you can just get rid of the mindset that anything that blows your mind is unreal. |
To everyone advocating that we do as our senses please,what if you are wrong about God and his judgment? He created us,created the standards and when we couldn't meet his standards,he not only lowered his barriers but totally removed them by sacrificing himself. We express appreciation to him for what he has done by obeying his instructions and by the way disobeying harm us because of our human nature ( e.g maturation and self pleasing ) |
Jesus told the woman caught in the act of adultery "neither do I condemn you " which means he doesn't condemn you even if you have engaged in the usage of sexual experience enhancers or even in the act of adultery. He created the universe and knows our shortcomings hence his sacrificing himself for all our sins,past,present and future. Get intimate with Christ through the knowledge of his word and the more you know him,the less the gravitational pull of sin as you ascend in righteousness. The pull of sin doesn't disappear cos we are still on this side of eternity,but remember that even if you fall,the one that died for you and who only is qualified to judge you says he doesn't condemn you. Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to approach our heavenly father with boldness in our low and vulnerable times cos it is where we both receive his mercy for wrongs done and grace to help surmount our future mountains. |
To each his own,but wealthy people don't go around all day thinking how they are going to teach their children the hard lessons of life. Infact a big headache at this point is how they will preserve their wealth and legacy through a proper structure. There is an entire industry centred around succession planning and wealth preservation. Wealth and asset management, Trust advisory services,Family offices,Estate lawyers all work to help rich folk maintain and transfer their wealth. With the overwhelming sentiment here,all these high profile jobs are unnecessary since all man must hustle and make their own. Unfortunately without sounding disrespectful, I just feel these are the remnants of people that mostly have escaped poverty but still carry it in their DNA. Even the bible says a good man leaves an Inheritance for his children's children. Parents are supposed to leave houses for their children and not children building houses for their parents. They have been here longer and should pass it forward,what we have as black people is an aberration. Check the Jews and the Indians and little wonder why they have generational wealth being passed down. It starts in the mind. |
Inheritance is a very valid concept and allow no one use their mentality to intimidate you. It is a blessing to be able to transfer wealth to the next generation and as a descendant of anyone who has acquired any form of assets,you have a right to ask questions upon their demise. You can only be excluded when they have outrightly stated in a will your exclusion and for what reason. For those saying go and hustle for ur own wealth,and then what ? Consume everything you have acquired so your own children too can go and hustle while their contemporaries that have an Inheritance have a headstart in life. Cargill,S.C Johnson,Koch Industries, Chick Fil A,in and Out, Walmart, Fidelity Investments,when you japa and enter America go and beat the grandchildren of the founders of these businesses for being wealthy without working for the money. If you enter U.K,go and look for the Grovsenor descendants and query them for inheriting the most prime real estate withing the city of London or better still the great great grandchildren of Mr Sainsbury who are regarded as upper class because of what someone started in 18 something. Should we enter India,where the richest man in Asia inherited his wealth and is on track to transfer it to his own children,what of Tata Industries,at least you see their trucks or their Range Rovers,naa pesin papa papa sweat be that ooo. Samsung in South Korea,Honda in Japan. No worry, kill yourself and leave nothing for your children. Your wealth is for your children and not your spouse,the next generation will take care of the surviving spouse if you have structured your assets properly. |
This kind of scenario happened to my friend in port Harcourt a few years ago,but instead of just staring at him this girl in pitch blackness was reaching for his trousers5 pocket. Being a light sleeper he woke up and was watching her. He kept stretching and yawning to prevent her from dipping her hands into his clothes. He could hardly wait for morning. |
Intj:See me see trouble ooo ! This man actually thinks a structure collapses when they say there is a grid collapse. I am beyond shocked that opinion was expressed with so much confidence. |
This is quite simple a story. A man commits suicide and people argue that it must have been murder because he held a decent corporate position or is currently an entrepreneur. What makes people assume he was wealthy? His Konga job or his Lekki apartment ? Or is it the company he was running before his demise ? Unfortunately most people are not educated enough to know the difference between great cash flow and a high networth. Executives,entertainers,influencers,athletes yahoo boys have great cash flow. Big money coming in in short intervals,but wealth is built over time either by inheritance or great investments. Many of the above I mentioned are going to go broke. Executives who blow money and forget that they don't own the company and secondly one day they will retire,are in for a rude awakening. There is nothing new under the sun and so the craze of money,money money in Nigeria happened in black America with the success of black music in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s and 90s black athletes started making a killing and with the rise of hip hop in the 90s so many young black people became millionaires,but the common denominator is that 90% of these new millionaires lost their fortune. Depression, drug use and suicide became a common narrative following this cultural tragedy Nigeria is experiencing a drug epidemic,a terrible economy,and thanks to instagram and WhatsApp groups,the pressure to be seen to be doing well has never been higher. All we talk about now is money or the lack of it. Everybody laughs at the skits and the podcast highlights,but those seemingly subtle points are killing an entire generation inside. Unfortunately if people don't release themselves from the pressure to conform, we might be reading more of these kinds of stories in the not too distant future. |
For those saying it might be homicide,well sorry to inform you but people do actually commit suicide. I know cos my own uncle(not a distant relative) committed suicide and his parents and family almost wiped the incident from family history like it never happened. He wasn't poor and quite the opposite he was a star receiving a first class education in England. Depression like many have alluded is real and when suicidal ideation enter the mix,we need to be more empathetic because for these people it feels like being a passenger in a driverless car that is about to crash. Eike Batista a Brazilian billionaire was once the seventh richest man in the world,he went from a networth of almost 40 billion dollars to negative,and yet he didn't commit suicide. A German billionaire who lost about 20 billion jumped in front of a train eventhough he was said to be worth at least a hundred million dollars at the time of his death. Same event,different reactions. People lose it for different reasons. I was irritated that a student in university would commit suicide over a failed university relationship till I realized we are all wired different How about women who commit suicide over a failure to conceive or bear a male child. How about a pastor committing suicide because he was about to be outed for having an affair. Students taking their lives for failing an exam. The oga patapata of dem all is drug induced psychosis with the associated highs and lows. Many many people have taken their lives because while we talked I'll of their problems and irrational behaviour,they were in an entirely different universe in their minds. Let us be more empathetic especially in subjects we don't fully understand. |
Well done. Pls ignore the negative comments, they are just trolling.U have or are acquiring a very important skill even if you do not realize it. Get better at it and you could even use it to earn a decent living for yourself. Take it from me that the world is changing faster than we all can process and no one knows what will be extremely useful tomorrow. |
The entrance of a million brands in the 2000s into the quick service restaurant space did not help Mr Biggs as each locality all over the country now had new restaurants. Chicken Repubic,Crunches,Mega Chicken,The Place all came with the new wave of the mid to late 2000s with many of them stealing significant market share from the initial big guys. Former staff of the big 3 became consultants for entrepreneurs who wanted to get into the fast food business and inevitably Mr Biggs lost its best hands to an industry growing at a rate faster than anyone could have predicted. The decision to franchise did not help matters like someone rightly pointed out but that was not what killed Mr Biggs. Mr Biggs died because it was owned by an archaic company that was slow to respond to change. The death that killed Mr Biggs quickly chased and met up with Tantalizers and of recent Sweet Sensation. The Chicken Republic that is shining today is not the old chicken Republic. The old one was riddled with debt and investor issues,naa tens of millions of dollars una dey see so,so Chicken Republic is not out of the woods. In my opinion Chicken Repubic would be dead as well if not for the constant injection of investor funds in dollars.Their back up is why they were able to run promotions for so long that kept their competitors scratching their heads. In summary if the economy does not improve significantly, the list of failed restaurants will become extremely long because that model is not sustainable in a low purchasing power environment. |
Good analysis from everyone so far,but take these facts from someone that really knows that business and what happened. What killed Mr Biggs? Time and change did. Before Mr Biggs we had Eddie King Burger,Kass Chicken and Chicken George,all were famous but none was financially super successful because they were all family businesses. In 1986 UAC opened Mr Biggs after a failed attempt to bring McDonald's into Nigeria. It was an experiment and they themselves were not expecting it to be so successful. It succeeded because it had the largest indigenous company behind it,and that company had properties scattered all over the country and in viable commercial locations,so the first hurdle was scaled. Between 86 and early nineties,they had a near monopoly till boom,the Likes of Tastee Fried Chicken,Sweet Sensation and Tantalizers came on board. The sky was still big enough till the mid 2000s when the kitchen started becoming too hot. Tantalizers seemed to have forcefully grabbed their crown eventhough they had a far lower outlet count nationwide, and Tastee had used excellence to separate themselves from the rest. Sweet sensation were probably the most well managed as they handled expansion brilliantly without franchising. |
mancanoe:Absolutely untrue. |
Very soon Nigerians will carry placard and picket Lagos Country Cub and Ikoyi Club claiming discrimination. Naa people wey no sabi dey overdooo for this country and unfortunately some of these poorly educated folks escape into government. |
[quote author=Kajaard post=129585597]I know the Lagos Indian Language School at Ilupeju where Indians send their kids. There is a reason it is called INDIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL and not Indian School because the kids are taught in Indian language. I hope you know the school was created to cater to the needs of the kids of the Indian community at Ilupeju? I hope you know the language of instruction there is not in English language? Too much sense. Social media makes everyone a critic of things they don't even understand. Why must you attend an Indian school when there are tens of private schools in that same Ilupeju and environs. If they give you bill now,you will scream. There are Jewish schools in London and New Yoek. Stay in your lane people and stop allowing social media deceive you. |

As Christians,there is nothing to prove. Violence or arguments is not part of our way of life. If you don't like the presentation of the real Jesus,you can do with the information whatever you like. Afterall, Jesus presented himself to the world and most were highly irritated while some followed him. He told them who he was and why he had come but they judged him and brought him to be judged by a heathen leader he had created and given breath. They mocked,spat at him,whipped him and placed a crown of thorns on his head. Drained of his physical strength,they made him drag a heavy log nailed together to form a cross through the crowded streets so more people could mock the self professed messiah. Believe what you may and be free to say whatever about Jesus or his documented word but I have a word for every none believer. When you close your eyes in death,for the sake of your eternal abode,you had better never experience consciousness again. If for any reason you realize you are dead,you are in trouble cause then the reality of life after death will hit you. Those that reject Jesus on this side of eternity will face him as judge on the other side. |
If you have japad,congratulations, but can you pls stop bashing the country and advertising your adopted country. The pull effect has made many families run into debt,and some marriages ending because they are chasing eldorado. Leave people alone to find their peace no matter the location. This is our home and running away will never change that. Nigeria's DNA is in you if you like relocate to the moon or Uranus. If everybody ran from where you are running to who would have made it a sane society? People like me will stay and make Nigeria better. Money is not everything. |
I just imagine myself spending the rest of my life on a beautiful farm settlement in Plateau state. No killer herdsmen,no bandits,beautiful greenery all around,nice weather and a host of farm hands that have a job cos I chose to invest in their state.i will rather Jos or Calabar than anywhere in the world. |

Aristotle Onassis was the richest man in the world when the heir to his fortune had a plane crash and died. He was ready to spend whatsoever was demanded,but nothing could save the young man. The rich live in a different world from most people but they also have stomach ulcers,haemorrhoids,loveless marriages,wayward kids,envying siblings which are common to the poor as well. Some will always break into the top one percent and only those who desire to remain poor hate the rich. |
ahmedio2017:Pls find out how much he is paid in dividend annually and stop mentioning salary. In the realm of the wealthy,that is a word you hardly hear. |
ttoyetade:It is very obvious you are paraphrasing Bode George. Now it is obvious that most politicians are clueless about wealth creation They have the absolute least idea of how an economy can grow or derail and the bountiful ways through which people can become rich. A bank founder might have been an employee at sometime,but upon desiring to start his own bank,all he needs is a track record of competence and friends with a good networth. If you know how to structure deals,you might not even drop a kobo in start-up capital. |
ttoyetade:When did u work in the banking sector. These guys were leaders of the new school in banking. Some people were already 20 years in old generation banks,when these young sharp minds joined the likes of Zenith and Gtb. How old in Mark Zuckerberg ? Oga no be by age,capitalism has its own rules. |
ttoyetade:What a mindset. Someone was an executive director at Guaranty Trust Bank in his mid thirties after which he founded his own bank with his friend still in his mid thirties and you are here writing these. Know what you are saying or at least understand a topic before you contribute. |
Saviola86:Physics my friend. So if you are given a parachute,how are u ejecting in case of an emergency. Upwards or sideways ? Where are the rotor blades ? U Don put meat inside blender before ? Just imagine the sight and there goes ur answer. |
Nawaa for people ooo. So some people went to arrange problems in California for Wigwe because he is what exactly. So who could be sp powerful to infiltrate an aviation services company and to what end exactly. Every pesin wey die for naija,naa pesin kill am. Accidents don't happen,someone is always wanting someone dead. What a foolish way to think and how it has held many in fear and captivity. Nigerians make una rest,this was an accident. |
Somebody stepped down for him to become Oga. Aig Imokhuede is still alive,so I am certain the bank will be alright as they founded it together. |
Connected1:Oga rest !!!! This was obviously an accident. It is morbid enough his wife and child are involved,save your imaginations for Netflix scouts. |
People just open their mouths and yan dust. They no kill am for naija,naa for Yankee dem go kpai am on top helicopter. God holds our times in his hands,wealthy, poor,struggling,buoyant our life and times are in his hands. I would rather use this death as an opportunity to reflect on my own life and what my purpose for being here is. I remember him and Aig from way back from glossing through the annual reports of GTB and I use to admire how young these guys were as executive directors of such a trailblazing business ,so I wasn't surprised when they founded Access. All naa story now,I hope his family allow his children enjoy the labour of their parents,and I hope his friends honour his legacy by making sure Wigwe University doesn't die with this man. |
Themanleshey:Christians don't stone people to death for blasphemy, rather our God is kind,forgiving,loving and inviting but only on this side of eternity. On the other side he is a judge who will dispense justice according to our relationship with his son. |
Pastor Adeboye is not perfect,but in my heart I believe he is a good man. I don't agree with everything he says,but I strongly admire his relevance for his age. I would rather be an 80 Yr old clergy man having constant conversations about God than be a thieving 80 Yr old politician plunging the country into penury or a soulless 80 Yr old billionaire whose god is money. I will miss Pastor Adeboye and Obasanjo when they eventually leave us. Great men indeed !!! |
