I'm not convinced. There's something fishy going on with this Forbes valuation. Geregu is nowhere near sufficient to propel this guy to a $1bn net worth. Don't bother to mention the so-called FBN and Zenith Bank shares or so called property portfolio.

He can't possibly be as rich as Jim Ovia, for instance - who isn't in the list.

Valuation bro. Selling 20% stake in Geregu is bound to rocket up the valuation of the firm.

Besides we know what's happening with real estate in the West now. I'm assuming he's doesn't have a 3 bedroom but a bunch of skyscrapers at least. Monaco alone is a goldmine.

That Gucci no be here. Gucci up and down. ´Gucci snake gbe gbe gbe

No..

I used every soap to the last end,I press the rest inside sponge..

My aunt once did this and while bathing, a sliver of the soap dropped into her ear. It became unreachable and painful. She had the be taken to the hospital eventually to flush her ear canal.

Oh boy, see ban everywhere.

Is it possible to see starlink constellation from earth with the naked eyes? I doubt o

It is very possible. Sightings have been reported in multiple places. They are high up there but not in the same orbits as the ISS for example.

lomprico:
Do they glow at night?

They don't glow. It's a reflection of the sunlight from their solar panels. The sky is supposed to be pitch black so light reflections will show.

Naijaepic:
Not necessarily Starlink, there quite numbers of artificial satellite that orbit the sky above and can become visible during any clear night sky.

I agree. Multiple joint satellite projects are being executed apart from Starlink, especially in China and Europe but for now its Starlink satellites that exhibit that configuration

lovediehatelive:
Really?

How sure.

Some people said they've been seeing it from time immemorial

Starlink constellation. You can see them because of the cloudless skies during this period.

Nice advert.

Back then in school, this car reigned. One rich kid had a clean 1999. He drives in high-speed circles within the big car park carrying all sorts of human beings with him

Another quiet lad studying medicine usually brought a very clean 2001 xle to school. Leather, wood trims, blue colour complete with the rear trunk lip, some aftermarket 16-inch wheels and always chilling AC. Damn, that car was cool.

Not a bad idea to have a very clean example as a daily driver today.

ZKOSOSO:
Do and verify. Google is not your enemy...use it

I lived in Niger for over a year and traversed it's length and breadth from Zungeru to Kontagora down to Bida,Minna and Suleja.

You should go and verify and stop being a keyboard warrior.

Now, I mean that in the most polite way possible

Make una dey lie small small now

Everyone is talking about insecurity. Do you want policemen to stand guard for over farmers farms?

This kind of project would be on large hectarages of land using some form of farmer cooperative model. Projects like this have been ongoing in Nigeria with no issues.
Bandit attacks will be contained in such projects. My only grouse is to get lower income farmers in the mix as well. These projects always go to the big farmers, lobbyists, politicians and business men not smallholder farmers who really need them.

I think degrees get you the job and skills get you higher up. Lets take data analysis as an example, HRs will more likely pick Data science grads over Coursera certificate holders.

As for skills, that's what you use to climb up the ladder. And it's not about knowing these skills, it's about mastering them.

Another thing; high demand skills =/= high income skills. High-demand skills mean many companies are looking for them, this usually happens with all the craze of AI and software engineering. There can be high demand but also high supply.

High income is when you have become an unmatched guru in that field. For what it's worth, a skill may not be high in demand but if you are a master in that niche, you will be paid some cold hard cash for your wizardry.

whoever is the narrator in this video, why not use AI to create a voice? Your voice is so wacky that each time I hear it, I skip the video. Your voice is not good, stop doing Voice-Overs

I get sick of their voice overs.

hammed71:
which other European countries would you recommend moving to apart from France

That would you boil down to your personal research bro as I don't have in depth knowledge all European countries. My email is shot.

I have always come back to read this thread year upon year before and after getting to France and I better understand what Electro talked about.

Electromagnito, you went through A LOT. How can you spend so much on French class and you didn't get CROUS? I just can't imagine being penniless in such a harsh place.

Something people don't talk about in Nairaland is the low wages in France compared to other top European countries like UK and Germany. At €9.50/hour (€760/month), you have more than simple financial management responsibilities on your hands. 20 hours/week in combination with studies, your body will shake. That is even if you find a 20 hours/week job in which case, you barely have anything to save after removing rent, food, phone bills and sending something back home. People earning 600k/month in Nigeria are living more comfortably than many in France.

I try not to discourage Nigerians from thinking of migrating to France but think deeply about it. Make it a second option if you can. Too many migrants, and the far right are fighting back. Policies are being changed and turning unfavourable. African kids who are raised in-country (Primary to tertiary) and speak French like their mother tongue are having to look for greener opportunities in UK and Canada.

Every person has their priorities as well but learning French solely to get a job in France is not a top of priority in my opinion. You can gain fluency enough to communicate (which can be tasking) but can you learn up to a professional level in 2 years? Like I said, it depends on the person.

Arisenews2:
And it didn’t occur to you that the screen text was added as a form of subtitle ? Are you okay? What ever is said in the video is what is written as text! So, the screen text just appeared ? Never heard of word to text? Btw, if you watch the video to the end, we explained how he lost everything! Don’t be too quick to comment! Thanks!

Look at how unprofessional you sound. It's only common sense not to read out your slides when giving a presentation. If you weren't so lazy as to do only copy and paste, perhaps you would have delved into more oral detail and just posted your video as a blog post. Of course, I didn't watch to the end because you almost literally lifted your copy off another site which I found with a simple Google search.

No empirical research was done; you just copy text, slam a bunch of stock pictures on top, do a voice-over (of the same text) and call it a YouTube video. Even took the same text and posted it word for word on Nairaland. Yet in the end you would want people to subscribe to your channel when you can't even learn from readers' feedback.

Hungry blogger

You never mentioned how he lost his wealth.

You need to be more detailed in your videos and stop reading the screen text. Viewers can do that already.

@aysnoopy

It's understandable that things look bleak but you have to hold on to what you have for now. Don't step down the ladder expecting to jump higher. You should take higher steps from your current position.

Complete your education. If you don't see prospects for improvement in your current career, look for hard skills to learn as a career switch or side business. You should know that considerable time and effort have to be invested in mastering a new skill before people will pay you good money for it.

Tell that to the Alhajis up north who are actively seeding women after 30/40 children. They hardly recognize thier offsprings as they are so many.

When I know the calibre of vehicles I can get with a stated amount like #5m but I see the car advertised for the same price. No suprises as some people will fancy a car like this and won`t mind splurging their cash on it. Every mallam with his own kettle.

Wow!

Odekunle Oddy, wordsmith. Those who lived in Indy hall , University of Ibadan around 2007 to 2011 will definitely remember him. He was a member of Indy Hall Press those years and very popular in UI then.

So sad!

Oddy was a close friend and I was a Zikite. He was silent about his predicament but you could see he had a lost a lot of weight from his physical form.

Bloggers like to give sensational headlines but he had defied Doctor's death time predictions for well over a year.

@egobetterforme is the lady in question hardworking and compliant?

If you find no other fault in her other than her beauty or lack of it, then you should adopt a positive mindset. Is there any reason why your mother wants you to marry the girl, she must have said something. Sometimes it's best not to fiddle with destiny, you never know if the girl is there to bring you good luck, security or peace of mind.

You can touch her up, send her to school, get her beautiful clothes and social etiquette.

Baztardidiot:
When u know you stay in the slums. Is it a must u park your car outside. Don't u guys have a gate into the entrance. Are there no security guards around. Next time. Don't be riding car into slums. Look for a bank close to u. Tip the security men 10k or even 5k. When it's getting late.drive there and park it. Or better still remove the tyres and forget about car.i thought camry 2.2 was only prone to theft at delta. Times are hard and tokunbo cars are extremely high.imagine camry of 1.7m is now 3.5m. A whole camry 2.2. Pele o. I'm sure it must have been raced to owode onirin or ladipo for immediate butchering. And the camry still clean o.men count your loss .if u had used steering lock.highest will be brainbox...

From the picture alone you can deduce that its quite normal to park along the street. This is assuming you are not familiar with Llagos which I doubt. How many bank security officials will allow you to park in their compound for 10k? Per night or per week?

@Op, i think you should accept the loss and move on or go file a report at the police station. There's nothing much you can do really. That is one of the reasons why the significance of a tracker or wheel and pedal lock should not be underestimated.

You will get a better car in the near future. My consolations

Donchieli:
How do you know it's not 1000cc

Give the details then. Tell us what model and what year

A 34 year old bike that isnt even 1000cc. Dey play

It's nice but I can bet he didn't pay that #1.4bn for the car. It's likely on lease with monthly payments which are significantly lower but still a substantial amount.

Good to see Nigerian artists making and spending the big bucks.

E reach to look for abeg...

Reminds me of how wizkid was slapped the last time he came to warri....Na once boys move him sun glasses within a blink of an eye.........The thing still dey surprise wizkid till date

Same thing happened to Dbanj. He popped his head out through the sunroof and someone snatched the sunglasses off his face. He yelled 'who thief my glasses" before someone in his vehicle pulled him back in
