You think the Chairmen would use their real name? All na fronting. Zenith Pensions is a tenant in Civic Center Towers Lekki. You mean Oga will just give them space for free? Or you think all their branches on Ajose were bought by Zenith Bank?

Till date ECOBank is unable to annex all branches of former Oceanic Bank because they belong to Madam Naija banking sector stinks and that's why most of them can't co-locate with other businesses to save them the cost of opening new branches

BarryX:
Another of those wild goose chase that will further increase the traffic stress level of a Lagosian.

Who Marathon help?

bigtt76:
They don't buy but rather go into long lease with the owners usually the bank chairmen or owners (eg former Oceanic Bank, Zenith Bank, UBA etc all do it).

what burst my kidney was when he compared his police escorts with the disciples of Jesus.
In reference to apostle suleiman, names of Jesus disciples will be like;
sergeant Peter, asp Andrew, dpo Paul and Silas
As in ehn, some people can defend hypocrisy for Africa.

P.s: haha, my guy still join tear ebuka kinda agbada

Most Nigerian bank buildings are owned by the bank owners and rented out to the bank they own

We will keep seeing different posts from different people claiming they have learnt one or two thing.... simply because it's Adenuga. The typical ass licking character with most Nigerians. What paddy has done is what every other "business man" does everyday. Trying to get deals done.
Whilst I salute his effort, boldness, courage and entrepreneur spirit, I do not find his story motivating. Yes, it's not bad belle. Catalan was just another trading business that may have happened. Typical buying and selling with no tangible technology creation or transfer itself. I mean Paddy is not building a product from scratch, going to test it market, trying to acquire customers and then not making money as one would have projected. Stories like facebook, Google, Amazon, Dropbox, pay stack, microsoft, apple and name it. These are businesses that were built from nothing. Adenuga wanted to purchase an asset. With some connection, you can secure loan from the bank and buy an oil assest. It's something we hear everyday. It would have been a more interesting story if he did something outside his father's business. I mean build a product from scratch. This is my own definition of entrepreneurship!

LaudateII:
The entrepreneur who set up Emerging Markets Telecommunications Services (EMTS), is Hakeem Bello-Osagie. That is another man whose biography, I
would like to read.

IamaNigerianGuy:
I am all for entrepreneurship but you must come down and face reality.

1. The recession and mangled economic system we operate means that people have no money to buy N50 milk much less go looking for investments. You invest when your basic needs are met. Are you aware that workers are owed salaries and pensions ?

2. EMTS founder (Bello-Osagie) was already a billionaire when he started his company. He used his university contacts to penetrate the arab royal families for investment in his venture, and his relationship with IBB to secure his telecom licence.

Point is, there is no level playing ground. These people are exploiting their unfair advantage gained in the past. Nobody needs to encourage a Nigerian to do business. It is in our genes. Level the playing field and watch them fly.

hostkobo:
you are right on point MrMcJay.

Some Nigerians surprise me with their comments. So because Mr.P's pop is a billionaire, he shouldn't hustle on his own? Or because he didn't succeed at his bid, he isn't successful.

yes he has the money to throw around and engage in risky deals, but life is all about risk. It is those that have taken on head to head the riskiest risks and have won that stand tallest at the end of the day.

We can learn from the rich, we can learn from the poor.

Jealousy is worrying so many people in this country

I rep OAU and I know we students have a part in this rots.

Sir, kindly point out 3 to 5 points of lessons from the epistle. It'll do us all some good.

The only lesson I've learnt is "nearly doesn't win the acquisition". I imagined what the winner of the acquisition would have written.

einsteine:
What lessons exactly? How about you point out the lessons? The reality of the average Nigerian is different from the reality of Adenuga. The whole story does not provide any actionable insight for the average small business owner out there. It's just a tale of the son of a rich man who is bold enough to gamble. Even if he loses, he still got a fall back. I repeat, there is nothing to learn from the story.
