Stop writing nonsense. Creativity made Elon Musk rich. Every Nigerian in the tech world should see Musk as their role model. That man is a constant reminder that impossible is nothing.

To the news, I strongly believe that given the time Bill Gates became a billionaire, if he had reinvested every cent he made like Musk, nobody's wealth would be anywhere close to his. Bill Gates is by far the world's most generous human being!

Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk’s net worth has surpassed $400 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, setting a new milestone Wednesday for the world’s richest person.

The jump in wealth, the business news outlet reported, came after SpaceX and its investors agreed to purchase as much as $1.25 billion of insider shares in a transaction that valued the rocket and satellite company at about $350 billion.

The transaction increased Musk’s personal wealth by about $50 billion to $440 billion, Bloomberg said.

Musk’s wealth, largely based on the share price of Tesla and the valuation of SpaceX, already took a huge leap after Donald Trump won last month’s US presidential election.

Tesla’s share price is up by about 65 percent since the vote in November.

Musk has been a prominent political donor and advocate for Trump, pumping a staggering $270 million into the Republican’s campaign.
He has been an ever-present sidekick for Trump since his election victory, inviting him to watch a rocket launch in Texas by his SpaceX company.

Musk’s businesses all have varying degrees of interactions with US and foreign governments, and his proximity to Trump has raised concerns that Musk will be able to give advantage to his own interests.

How can Oduduwa be a Prince of a place that wasn't in existence until his own son Oranmiyan went to establish that place?

For people always claiming to have "freed" SA you clearly have no idea what the struggle against apartheid was about. Sit down and go back to history lessons for some much needed reeducation.

MadamVanessa:





Inasmuch as what the sister did is wrong, but also what the brother did is also wrong . It's okay to be all mad at your sister and threaten her for such an unethical and shameful behavior, but going as far as reporting it to her husband is the greatest undoing. It's okay for others to report her ,but not a sibling or family member, except you people are enemies.

To cut a long story short... these miners are resisting coming up to the surface because they know the cops are waiting for them and they'll either be arrested or deported. The cops have been patient for weeks nows since Oct 18.

The illegal miners Underground come from Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. They're usually heavily armed and terrorize host communities. Yet they're reluctant to surface even after bern trapped for weeks underground.

Most South Africans want them dealt with decisively as they're a serious security risk to the neighbouring communities and a law unto themselves.

What is Islam’s solution to marrying and sleeping with prepubescent and girls?

I need to use this opportunity to point this out: Members of this forum should STOP this immature, ungodly and wicked behavior of trying to put down the womenfolk in this public space. It immediately shows you lack home training because your mom and sisters as well as your present or future wife and daughter ARE ALL WOMEN OR WOMEN IN THE MAKING.


These gaslighting tactics are stale. To the first quoter, you de think like person wey shit inside church, them catch am, he come defend himself by saying "shebi other people don shit for inside church before me?"

To the second quoter: Let me remind you that he didn't only say "gentlemen and gentlemen", he also cancelled "ladies" to show that females are excluded. If I no ves when my mom is insulted, tell me, wetin again suppose make me ves?

If you want to see how stupid such thinking is or to identify them when people use it on you, go and read: Find Out If You Are A Victim Of Gaslighting And How To Protect Yourself. Many people here on Nairaland think all these foolish thoughts while thinking they are wiser for it. It shows why Nigeria is in such a bad shape.

How can you make a career out of insulting a camp where your own mother belongs and think you are wise. If you have any issue with any lady, settle it with her and don't come here to spit your dating frustrations.

Is it also cheap in Benin?
