Man,make money.... That's all that matters in life......Had it been Eze wasn't doing well on his own part,he wouldn't have been allowed to get and inch close,let alone having the privilege to be on the same table with this billionaire..


But then again,Eze should grab this opportunity and help arsenal talk to him so that he can buy arsenal and turn the whole of Emirates stadium into a chess Yard . Cuz they're certainly the most unserious football team in the whole world right now

So you actually think because Ebere is being paid “peanuts” by his club that’s why he is dining with Mr Branson?

Why does everything has to be about money for some of us here in Nigeria?

Na waoh..

Helinuse:
Una sabi talk.

You wey dey do business, wetin you don get?

😂 😂 😂

And some of these guys have never done business in their lives before o.

And for some who have done, nothing came out of it.
But they are here telling someone who raised 20m in this environment how to start a business. If you ask them which business now, they will tell you pig farming.😄

They feel you can only do business when you are given 1 billion naira at a once.

I have been to China three times and was in Chengdu in 2023, have been to China ?

Please pay no attention to anyone trying to rewrite your direct experience.

China is one of the most peaceful countries I’ve been to. More peaceful than some European countries.

If you mess up, you go collect instantly. And humans fear equal and quick justice like mad.

chidi2003:
Iceland is peaceful, not because of their population size - but - attitudinal concept of humanity!
Nigeria can never be peaceful because our ways of life promote cultural greed for materialism. We are too desperate and we promote the system of cheating(corrupt culture). We can't witness peace, until we change for good!

They forget that China has the largest population in the world yet could be rated as one of the most peaceful countries in the world.

In a country where there’s no punishment and reward structure… forget it; that country is marked for chaos and failure.

No way around it.

What i don't understand or get here is this
What happened to the state the girl comes from? What is the govnor of the state doing to reward her achievement........Abi she no get STATE GOVNOR...........
When u find an answer to my questions, then we can move from there........chikena

She won the medal for the country. Not for the state governor.

Truth is that the FG no try at all for the reward especially when compared to that of Dtigeress and Falcons.

It’s embarrassing and insensitive.

United Arab Emirates with a population Of 9.6 million people generates 10,200 megawatts of electricity, which is more than than the 5420 megawatts peak Nigeria recently hit.

Prior to 1961 it had neither running water nor electricity. Dubai didn't get electricity, or its first paved road, until 1961. Running water arrived a few years later.

This is due to the effects of visionary leadership and the judicious use of oil revenue.

Wrong information.
UAE megawatts as at 2012 was 27,000mw

How could only 10,000mw power all their service industries?

Therock5555:
That's what they all say; they've grown bigger than their record labels who made them when no body knew them.


If they were that big, why not sustain themselves like Omah Lay?


Sha the jury is still out on Asake, but tell yourself the truth, look at his numbers in ybnl and now, tell me where he was more successful.

Sha make him drop new album, we go know by then...

You and a lot of posters here have a very valid point.

True, running a music business is far more than just singing and rapping. The managerial side is even more important.

But..

1. How do you even grow and become a man of yourself by continually being under someone?

2. Don jazzy and Olamide were not bigger than Asake and even Rekado when they started their own labels.

So why would I advise people to be restricted to their old labels so they can survive?

Now let me tell you why most of these guys don’t survive on their own….

1. Some do not have that real talent and stage aura. They only survive among crowds in the label company.

2. Managing music business is a big deal but doesn’t require extra ordinary talent. It mainly requires discipline and the ability to delegate duties to professionals.

But most of these guys are not disciplined. They Bleep women and do drugs all day. Even pass appointments and studio sessions.

They bypass professionals and give jobs and contracts to their family members and friends who can’t caution them or say no to some off point decisions.

They want to have the 100% profit to themselves alone. No business survives that way. One of the major reasons why multinationals like shell are doing very well is because they subcontract almost all their job to professionals with strict supervision and follow up.

JAWBONE:
Good grief...

I never hear this kind thing before

First man to die from marrying fat woman

Many do.

They just tell you the man slept but didn’t wake up in the morning. Or simply put, “he died in his sleep”.

Sixty5:
Money power and fame those things if you have it in fact the world is like your paradise

It’s good to have all these you mentioned. They make life easier.

However, the only paradise to enjoy here is the capacity to buy whatever they need and most importantly being beside who you love and they seem to love you back.

Other things like fame, paparazzi and even power can become depressing after some time.

Not true.

Matter of fact, the reverse is the case.

Problem is that most Nigerian men travel with that mentality that money can get them any girl. But what of when the girls are most time richer and more comfortable than you?

annyplenty:
I never believed Wasiu Ayinde could ever apologize. This is highly commendable of him. To err is human, to forgive is divine.

Humility is embedded in repentance

Even the most arrogant man on earth who found himself in such mess and pressure would apologize. Heck Tinubu would have even instructed him to apologize.

That being said, he only apologized to the president, minister, pilot, passengers and to his fans. He never apologized to Nigerians.

I don’t have a problem with that but just to set the record straight.

AfroKnight:
This is why most presidents fail to see the real situations on the streets.

Their aides feed them filtered information.

If Otedola didn’t have access to the presidency, he would have been unable to make his case and explain the truth on ground.

I don’t like to make excuses for leaders who have well paid and well read assistants.

The slightest “mistake” or lie should warrant a sack to keep others on their toes.

And as for otedolas ordeal then, he partly contributed to it. Just like most Nigerian companies and even government agencies, basic information that should be on their websites is shrouded in secrecy. And when all you do is secrecy, any lie against you or your company can fly.

jamafa:
Keep support thieves and keep blaming the government for Thier selfish act 😂

I don’t think he’s supporting any thief.

He’s just saying that poor remuneration of civil servants including the police is the foundation for corruption in civil service.

Even death penalty can’t stop corruption in civil service so far the pay and retirement benefits cannot take you home.

Nigeria must prosecute these thieves but we should be aware that until workers benefits is looked into, more empty estates from civil servants will keep springing up.

Superpack589:
A unusually cloudy weather has been hovering over Nigeria for over a month now. The sun rarely shines. Is the weather of this part of Africa changing? I heard the Sahara desert is getting greener? Could that be the reason the volume of rainfall is increasing every year?

I hope so.

But lake Chad is getting drier. And that’s the major cause of low food production and Fulani herder’s invasion of other lands in recent time.

oluseyiforjesus:
He loves children that is why
Don't try dat in Nigeria
Where he is
School is free

In Nigeria, some poor people already have 4 wives with 4 children each from the wives.

That’s 16 kids.

I think people here are mistaking the hardest position to the most important position.

The most important position is the midfield.

The hardest position is the wingers.

Azmanaty:
Zenophobic tracks that has bloods of the innocent. Well, I know they ain't going anywhere with their bids

As much as I detest the practice of Xenophobia, I can never think it’s worse than tribalism or ethnic bigotry.

In xenophobia, citizens don’t want foreigners in their country.

In tribalism, citizens don’t want their fellow citizens in their collective country.

Tribalism is worse and has spilled far more blood in Nigeria than xenophobia has in South Africa.

I don’t think Nigerians have the moral ground to condemn xenophobia and racism.

Most people here seem to be off point.

Seun Kuti is simply saying that celebrating natural death of an alleged careless leader or corrupt man is nothing but stupidity and won’t solve the issue of corruption.

He’s saying that the best celebration should have been for him to answer to his sins against the country while he was alive.

He’s not talking about karma of people mocking a dead person here.

NotOfThisWorld:
He has tarnished his image nonetheless, and he's still going to jail.

Person call himself and trademarked his company “bad boys” and you are here worrying about his bad reputation?

ruggedtimi:
Iran is the main political enemy in the Middle East.

While some Islamic countries dislike Israel for religious reasons, they all see Iran as the real danger especially because it wants to change Middle Eastern leaders into religious rulers, like in Iran.

It’s just a fight for supremacy between Sunni and Shiite.

Lol and none of Dem no see the money enjoy like Mayweather


Unless na noise Mayweather jus dey make...

No be noise, Mayweather cashed out big time.

This is a list of the highest earners in the past 1 year. Not their entire life earnings.

However, some have and others will surpass MoneyMay in total life earnings in a few years.

Mcdubai:
Just like United Arab Emirates as a country which most people calls Dubai which is the capital of UAE and one of seven Emirates in UAE.

Abu Dhabi is the capital.

Kushites:
Unpaid Bodyguard for western media.

That post goes beyond the immediate topic, and relates to the scandalous misrepresentation of the African reality by western media.

In my over 40 years of watching television I have never seen one decent HOUSE in Africa shown on CNN or BBC.

Or ANY western media.

That is why when you go to the western world and tell people you are from Africa, they automatically assume you came from some dirty village with mud huts or some shanties or slums.

Why?

Because that’s ALL they have ever seen about ‘AFRICA’ on their screens their entire lives.

So whatever quality of research you are referring to matters zero.

Even if it was Nobel Prize worthy scientific research, it will be completely ignored by the western media and establishment.

Bodyguard for western media? Unto Wetin?

I’m just saying that you may have to wait a 100 more years for western media to report anything good about you and black Africa. And if we want to be honest with ourselves; they don’t owe us that.

We barely report any good thing about ourselves here but want western media to do it for you. I ask again, is this particular news a headliner on NTA? Definitely not! So why do you feel it’s an obligation for CNN to do it for you? Haa!

Even the presidency has not made any statement on this but are quick to make statements on irrelevant issues. And you still expect outsiders to carry your matter for head?

Somewhere in Burkina Faso Africa, Traore seem to be changing situation there and using the media to show the world. But same black Africans are the one running malicious campaigns against him.

Again, medical research and findings is not beer parlor deliberations. They work with facts, trials and results. Not some vague pronouncements.

As for how the west portray us as people who live in slums, mud huts and shanties.. I wish they are lying. But they are not.

Over 60% of black Africans live in slums, mud huts and shanties. Them no lie sir.

Just strive to change your situation if you don’t like it.

Kushites:
Excellent development.

Kudos to all the scientists involved in this breakthrough.

Don't expect to see it on CNN or BBC or any western media though.

They don't do ''African scientists achieve important medical breakthrough....''

They do ''Somalians flee from bomb blast...''

Or ''Boko Haram attacks Nigerian army base..''

Or........never mind. You get the drift.

I wish we can always keep emotions aside in certain issues.

Western media doesn’t owe any African any obligation to report our good news. We owe ourselves that.

Now, how many of our local media has reported this development? Even NTA; our state owned tv station has not even made a headline of it. Why then should CNN do it for you?

Why should anyone even report it when the treatment or findings is vague? You think medicine is social studies where you do guess work?
In medicine, your license is the easiest to revoke if you do any how.

A lot of work has to be put in research and development of this project. Then get it standardized before wishing CNN to broadcast it for you.

Chucks13:
Pls what kind of mysterious injury is this? A player accidently bang his stomach on goal post now turned "sos" situation, what type of pole is that?

He hit an iron pole and with speed sir.

Even cars get wrecked beyond recognition with such speed.

We wish a quick recovery mate.

Exceed15:
Don't believe that trash. He actually kills people and dismember their bodies.

It’s way easier to kill and dismember a living being than to dig up 6 foot grave.

He’s a liar!

TechBaron:
Ordinarily, everybody could be nobody.

Time, space and circumstances can prove that.

This same fellow that has huge followership online can walk around Wuse Market in Abuja without anybody noticing him.

Lessons learnt.

This is not true sir.

This guy go pull small crowd for Wuse market or any part of Nigeria today. But being popular doesn’t mean you are revered, loved or respected.

The only lesson learnt here is that if you don’t want to be disgraced, best you use your influence to secure a space or entry before visiting. Or avoid the place kpata kpata. Having in mind that you are a target for such disgrace.

Mear23:
Hmmm.
It must really be a sad experience for those who invested in the scheme

It’s always sad when people are swindled of their hard earned money. But it’s not just about the loss of money but about being played.

Some people will rather have you rob them than swindle them.

Mear23:
From the look of things.
It seems the CBEX platform was aimed at scamming the rich.
Because despite the fact that I read news everyday. I didn't come across it until it crahsed.

Honestly, I only heard of this CBEX the day Nairaland flooded the front page with news of her crash.

And lately, I’m just getting to know that most people I know invested in the scheme.

This is the first time I’m not hearing about something that’s popular or notorious.

Oh sorry, I got to know about MMM late too. I guess people know there are things you don’t need to tell me.
