This guy is Crazy!

Aswear, I knew he's going to become the richest this year.

KEY POINTS

Elon Musk just became the richest person in the world, with a net worth of more than $185 billion.

Thursday's increase in Tesla's share price pushed Musk past Jeff Bezos, who had been the richest person since 2017 and is currently worth about $184 billion.

Musk's wealth surge over the past year marks the fastest rise to the top of the rich list in history — and marks a dramatic financial turnaround for the famed entrepreneur.

Elon Musk just became the richest person in the world, with a net worth of more than $185 billion.

Thursday’s increase in Tesla’s share price pushed Musk past Jeff Bezos, who had been the richest person since 2017 and is currently worth about $184 billion. Musk’s wealth surge over the past year marks the fastest rise to the top of the rich list in history — and marks a dramatic financial turnaround for the famed entrepreneur who just 18 months ago was in the headlines for Tesla’s rapid cash burn and his personal leverage against Tesla’s stock.

Musk started 2020 worth about $27 billion, and was barely in the top 50 richest people.

Tesla’s rocketing share price — which has increased more than nine-fold over the past year — along with his generous pay package have added more than $150 billion to his net worth.

Meanwhile, Amazon’s share price has remained more subdued due to the potential for increased regulation from Washington.

Elon Musk passed Warren Buffett in July to become the seventh richest person. In November, Musk raced past Bill Gates to become the second richest person. Musk has gained more wealth over the past 12 months than Bill Gates’ entire net worth of $132 billion.

Tesla’s shares were recently trading at about $790, up more than 4% in trading Thursday. The company’s market value has grown to $737.6 billion.

It's been proven that hydro power isn't worth the risk. It's expensive to build,it displaces millions just like this one and it hurts the environment.


If it were today, China would have spent that money elsewhere

Hydro power has other usefulness apart from generating electricity, some countries build it to control flood

For real, the new NIMC app is a problem, this whole NIN thing is so frustrating, I've been trying to use the app since yesterday, but I couldn't.

The OTP and user ID was meant to be received with 10 minutes, I'm receiving it after like 7 hours, which kind wahala be this self. Sometimes, the app keep saying internet connection error even with a 4g network
Someone cannot even use the *346# again, I've been trying to use it for the past 25 hours, I'll I get is "SP service time out!
I cannot come and kill my self oo.

Eko Atlantic is now fenced off to prevent common nigger-areans from entering the premises. Chinese and Lebanese are free to enter.

These are the types of thread people create after smoking Swahili weed
How can you come on Nairaland and post something like this

Last year, when I heard that a team of scientist in Nigeria want to research covid-19 vaccine. Where are they now , Nigeria doesn't even have facilities to do that.

Jimmyubah2:
Stupid white supremacist. Where is the vaccine from Madagascar Africa?
Give me the Madagascar Covid- 19 vaccine please.

Bodyodour:
The is true. We pray to God to solve our problems when he has already given us the resources(Are we sure we are praying to the right God sef because they are over 500 religions in the world. Pastors keep cashing out from the poor masses. Why didn't they use their healing power to cure this sickness

We will always be at the mercy of the whites if we don't stop all this stupid religious stuffs.

Christians would be hating on scientist like they're the problem the world is facing
If not for science, millions would have died of many diseases, I know some people will definitely want to quote me saying science created viruses, viruses has long existed even before science started gaining ground, leaving millions of people dead back then. I'm a Christian but when I see the way other Christians talk sometime, I just feel disappointed.
Scientists said the earth is 4.5 billion years old, some Christians say it's 6000 years old, lol, some people on this forum even called them lunatics.

Tons of scientist are out there keeping watch for any external threats (e.g asteroid) ready to stop them anytime. Someone here in naija will just start spitting out rubbish, not know what's really happening on our planet.

It's time African, most especially Nigerians start changing. We've let religion become our drawback, even Islamic countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia are now easing their Islamic laws to aid development in their country.

I hope Nigerian start realizing that it's time to change.

Bornsinner7:
Don't know why this shit is funny to me..

Nicki Minaj following you is now an achievement?? This just shows how brainless this tacha is

It's a pity!

I see you don't know how Instagram and all these social media algorithm work
With that single follow, it'll help tacha gain tens of thousands of new followers in no time. I can't start explaining how it works but it'll help increase her followers. I think that's the only achievement

BeeBeeOoh:
One mad man go just wake up one morning after enough highness begin talk nonsense and people go believe am

Mad man?
You think it's nonsense, lol

Fahdiga:
By next year another set of scientists will say that the universe is 20 billion years. this goes to show that where human wisdom stops, that's where God's wisdom starts. God is supreme

Sorry but it won't change,
With the help of what is called radiometric dating, you can get the exact age of anything.
I don't know why Christians says according to the Bible, the earth is 6000 years old, it is a big miscalculation as there's a lot of events not recorded in the Bible

Hello Nairalanders! Happy prosperous new year to you all.

Please I want to go into blogging.
I need advice from those who are into it.
What are the things expected of me and what should I expect.
What are the guidelines for beginners?

Your advice is welcome.

Blogging is not as easy as before.
And real bloggers are few in the country, many just claim to be a blogger whereas they dont own any blog.
Never choose the niches below:
News blog - Seriously, this is the worst niche now, you will have to be updating steadily because after like 24 hours, what you post would become something of the past as no one would be interested in it, and people reading news are mostly emotional, they won't be interested in clicking your ads which means you earn less.

Music blog - This I the most saturated niche in Nigeria, literally every body that told me they want to start a blog will always say they choose music blog, it saturated.

My advice is to learn a little bit of SEO, just learn keyword research, and some other things, Nigeria is still a fresh location for real blogging, their are definitely keywords that can get you thousands of traffic monthly easily.

Choose a niche: e.g health, finance, pet, etc

Do your keyword research thoroughly: this is definitely the most important part.

Write high quality articles

Do your link building the right way

Never depend on AdSense only, you can try afilliate programs too.

Never depend on SEO completely, try using he owner of social media.

I could be typing all day but atleast I've written something important.
Peace

Popular Nigerian entertainer and billionaire daughter DJ Cuppy Otedola has shared new photo of her first born ‘baby’ to the world, Igbere TV reports.

The entertainer flooded her official Instagram page with before and after photo in which she was spotted striking a pose with a white lion back when it was a cub and now that it is all grown up.

According to her, the animal which she described as her baby, has also be named after her.

In 2019, she shared a video of her feeding the lion.

Have you guys heard about the lion whisperer.
I'd say you should Google it or watch videos on YouTube

Greeting my fellow Nairalanders!

I just started my new year with a sad news of incessant increase of MTN solar energy popularly called MTN lumos from N235 to N300.

When I purchased this MTN Lumos 2years ago, it was was N200 per day, just within a year, MTN increased it to N235 per day, just this year again, they further increased it to N300 per day.

It is either MTN is deceiving or is extorting illegally from MTN-LUMOS users because MTN credit did not add price, VAT did not increase, data did not add price, call rate did not add price Why then will MTN keep increasing Lumos plans? May be this is because MTN which promised LUMOS-users of 1800 paid days before claiming the LUMOS system for life is trying to frustrate many to return the system so that they will recycle it to other people who may be in need.

This is a modern fraud and @NCC @ICPC should take note!

This links thing, I how many hours does it last
I wanted to buy it but it might be a waste of time.

Ok, this made front page
I'm off Nairaland

soulstalker:
pls is it true I look like a goat? opinions needed, Cus I want to know maybe I should stop taking pictures..

And dou you think you look like a goat?
I see you care alot, that's why you even created this thread on nairaland.
See bro, even if you are as handsome as the Angels in heaven, people will always have something bad to say about you.
I promised myself never to take what people say seriously, never to let anyone look down on me, you know why? Because human will always be human

Dreyton36:
When i see young guys craving to be Yahoo boys I just laugh because they don't know how deep the game of Yahoo is

Yahoo is not all about making money and taking pills , fvcking some nice sexy girls, there are more to it , except you're the type that only makes lil funds like $1k to $200k

No one introduced me into the game of Yahoo , it all started in 2014 when men around me were just Living large
Honestly I was tempted to ask them to show me the way but self respect kept me still while hunger continued to show me no mercy as a broke student

I'm from a non buoyant family but feeding ain't no prob , all thanks to my struggling mom, lost my dad at a very tender age of 6, and I've always had that zeal to make it big seems none of my rich relatives care about us

I visited a friend of mine named chuks (wrong name ) in Lagos _maryland _Mende 2014

Chuks is also a student of Ambrose Alli univ same school
We were broke ass niggas who girls never felt fun to be with cuz no funds at hand to make everywhere bubble

Chuks then told me of his plans to join Yahoo which I actually found irritating , I advised him not to indulge in such , just because his neighbor was cashing out hugely , he changed cars like clothes
I never knew I will later end up being the boss in the game
I didn't practice what I preached according to Damien marley

One Saturday morning this chuk's neighbor and some three of his guys came out of their room and started playing gongo aso by 9ice and in few minutes time about 5 sexy tall girls came in to join them

Different drinks were flowing , girls were smoking s.k (weed)
Tbh I was thrilled but I made no silly move , I sat outside just thinking about my life , asking myself just one question
"Guy when you go make am". Shey na to pray and fast ?
I don fast tire and pray tire sef , even God sef know say I they call him name everyday but I still never touch better money

I couldn't hold it no more I went inside to meet my friend ,

Me: guy those men are chopping life , which work he dey do

Chuks: na Yahoo guy o , but he they claim say na him papa for u.s.a they send am money but we know the secret , na Yahoo boy

Me: how he take they make the money from Yahoo

Chuks: na just to open Facebook or any dating site, register and use better white man picture then you go find any single lady make her fall , bla bla bla

Me: wowed , just like that ? How the woman go take pay the money if na just love related stuff

Chuks : you too ask questions , when d woman don love you , you fit just find excuse bill am

Me: I had more questions to ask but I didn't wanna disturb him further

I am the kinda person that gets motivated by what I see , I got self belief that if that guy can cash out so big I'll surely make it bigger cuz back then i was worse than a smooth talker

A year passed I was in my second yr in school , 2015 , to pay school fees problem , to change new wears bigger problem , to feed for school nko biggest problem
So I remembered all the guidelines chuks said the other time that I have to open up a Facebook and all that

I opened up a Facebook acct , and used some wrong informations , used a very handsome man in his 40's pictures
I followed some pages like love pages and dating pages
I kept meeting fake users just like me , for about 6 months I had no single client , they were all same hustlers like me
I gave up and angrily deleted the acct , but all these while no one knew about it including my friend chuks

One day i visited (Iyamo ) Adams oshiomhole's village in Edo state , a friend of mine had an accident so he was in an orthopaedic surgeon's home
I spent about 3 days with him and the young guys there live larger than life

I noticed how they were trooping in and out of a particular house so I was interested in knowing what's up in there

Finally I realised they were Yahoo guys who were making charms to make their white clients pay them money without stress
I was like damn , I've heard another one
Anytime they come around , they just share money to every elder there, there was an herbalist there , very respected

When I went back to my town , the thought of Yahoo entered me again , so this time around I decided to focus more
I went on Google to type "which Facebook group has more white women"

I found some pages so I followed the pages and started getting some replies
I posted my picture on one of the groups saying I need true love , so many comments came in as the admin approved my post

I had so many messages both from scammers and real people cuz I claimed I'm so lonely and I wanna settle down

I noticed some clients will ask me for a video call , that's when I knew they must be real , so I kinda use my finger to cover the camera so they won't see my face but I can see theirs to confirm they're truly whites and when they ask me why they can't see me I'll tell them some lies , some will fall for it while some won't

In 2months I already have about 50+ sure clients for a romantic relationship , I don't sleep no more at night and it affected my academics

There was this particular lady who was so obsessed with me , she will chat me anytime she's not at work

Note: just one client can change your life for good

I set my time to hers , when she's awake I'm awake , we sleep same time , we joke about everything and she has a daughter of 8yrs , she's a baby mama abs fully loaded

We do voice calls , I got an American accent from the love of 2pac including old school foreign musics in general
And she loves music as well that's why we vibe so much

I told her I'm from Stuttgart Germany and she lives in New York U.S.A. Aged 43

I was so scared to ask her for money , so i needed someone who's deep in the game to teach me the format , at the same time I didn't want no one to know about what I was newly into , so I was adamant

I went on Google lol , typing how to Bill clients funnily I got some answers tho
I picked up some ideas there , at night when she was free from work I knew shellobe expecting my message so I hid my last seen
She kept messaging me but I didn't respond, I didn't even make no post for about two days
She was so worried that she was even calling me on Facebook and she was totally restless because I've gotten into her deeply
She even sends me her nudes from the way i sweet talk her

On the 3rd day I told her that I had an accident that's why I haven't been online and because I know she will be worries that's why I came online to ensure she's fine
Damn she was so worried and said she wanna take a week off from work just to come check up on me that i should drop my home address

I didn't know what else to say than " babe you don't have to stress yourself I'll be fine "

Me: I just want to try all means to clear the hospital bills , but my sister is here taking care of me

Client: oh that's a relief can I at least speak with her and thank her specially?

Me: sure you can but she's gone home to bring some items

Client : alright whenever she's back pls beep me up

Me: okay babe

Wahala where I wan get lady to make this call wey get better accent
My ex girlfriend came to mind , luckily we didn't quarrel or fight we just couldn't flow no more

I called her up immediately, she had this sweet voice and she got a very good accent

Me: fine girl how fa na , I don miss u like mad that's why I say make i check up on you

Ex: you don forget me na, how u dey

Me: I'm good where you at , I got something important to tell you

Ex: important you ? Abi na those ur tricks to fvck me again , cuz u no know pass fvck

Me: u too play , na something important and u go benefit from am

We later fixed a date for her to meet me the next day by night hours
I explained everything to her , she's a fast learner , so we did a quick rehearsal
When i checked my Facebook page , my client had messaged me about 7 times already

I replied immediately

Me: how're you doing darling

Client: oh thank good Lord I'm sp worried about you

Me: I'm sorry about that , my sister delayed she just came around she was held in traffick

Client : can I pls speak with her ?

Me: sure you can

Client : Hi dear , my name is Alicia (wrong name,) I'm your elder brother's girlfriend bla bla bla

Ex: he's told me so much about you and I can't wait to meet you in person

Client: yeah me too , he told me how you've been taking care of him , hope he's not badly injured

Ex: kinda but he's recovering rapidly , but he's set to go home as long as we're able to pay up all the fees

Client : I will discuss that with him

Meanwhile my mind was beating hard , hoping she doesn't change her mind
I took the phone from her and continued......

Me: hey sweetie I gotta rest a bit

Client: I've missed your TLC , and how much is the fees you have to pay , can you afford it or you need my help?
I'll gladly help

For my mind ehn , did she just say she'll gladly help
I kept cool , didn't want to sound too excited yet

Me: it's not much but I'm just down for now else i would've cleared the bills long ago

Client : just tell me how much I wanna know pls my love

Me: it's about £7500

Client : how can I send it to you , I'm not familiar without money transfers except within the states

Me: I will tell you how to do it , you don't have to be in a hurry babe

Client : I want you home I've missed your presence online

Me: me too babe I've missed you more , give me just 30mins I'll be back I wanna take my medication

Meanwhile I went on Google searching how to receive money from u.s, I was totally confused , my head was full
I saw some options like Western Union and others so I read their privacy and policies

I later resulted to choosing Western Union, at this stage I've totally forgotten about reading my books and my exams were fast approaching, school fees I never pay sef , money no get money my head full

I later chatted my friend who's in the u.s , he quit school and travelled to the states cuz he was opportune to meet a white man in a construction site who helped him up there
We were together in my 1st yr in school

Luckily he replied , he's mostly online
He told me he'll provide an account for me to give the client when she pays the money he will send it to me through Western Union but I must give him his cut , I agreed

It took him so much time to give me the account and my client was already worried , i woke up by 2am to meet his message on Facebook , he's dropped the account details

I sent it to my client , told her it's from my friend over there in the states he'll just send it directly into my German acct ,told her I don't wanna stress her by making her go through so many process

She sent the money after 8 hrs of steady chat , I didn't sleep nor delayed any of her chat , I became extra sweet

"The only thing on my mind was i must make this money "

My friend messaged me that he's gotten the money but he can't sent it all at once , he asked me to provide 5 different names to receive the money

I asked him why but he said it's because Western Union has a limit and they can easily refund the money as well when they sense something fishy

I gave him my friend's name chuks , I told chuks that it was my friend that sent the money for me from the u.s.a he believed after having a video call with my old course mate

He sent £1200 at first

And I gave him my own name , he sent them accordingly without cheating on me
I gave him £1000 out of it , and everyone was cool

I was in raw cash , chuks only knew of the £1200 he received ony behalf but didn't know of others and I couldn't tell him because he will surely get disappointed to know that the same person preaching against Yahoo is now also cashing out

We enjoyed life , paid my fees , made mama smile but to an extent so she won't notice, she thought it was the handwork of God chai life Sha
and more clients were coming in , I became extra sweet with the client

Years passed , sometimes I'll get some , sometimes I won't even get anything at all , my sure client remained very loyal and trusted me so much , I weed from morning till night , drink squadron mixed with yoghurt all day

Every girl wanna come close, why won't they come close
Money they na
And more clients were still paying me

I started hearing some informations on guys collect account details from their clients and run wire transfers into it and cash out big time , I was thrilled and I was eager to do deeper into
Luckily I came out with flying colors

And at that moment I already have my own house even my own Mom didn't know about it cuz there was no good explanation to give when she begins to question me on how I got the money

so I relocated fully to port_harcourt so I can always have my freedom

I rented a two bedroom flat in OLD G.R.A in Port Harcourt
Stayed there for about 1yr and half so i moved to Lagos to love close to my guy chuks

I later got an apartment in ikoyi dolphin estate
I met some guys there who were also cashing out big , they were strictly into wire jobs
I mingled with them but none was ready to show me the way , they would take me to the club to party, get me sexy girls, feed me up with weed but wouldn't show me the way

It was now 2017 I was very eager to learn more in the game cuz after tasting the good life I didn't want to ever go back to how I was before

I decided to travel out , I moved to United Arab Emirates but my rent in Nigeria was still reading though
The only person I told about my house which I built in my village was my elder bro cuz he's very secretive
And that was after I've travelled , I made him to Lagos to live in my place in dolphin while I sort the bills over there

Dubai is a country with some of the top wire transfer loaders don't let anyone deceive you

A different life entirely started that's when I knew I've not even gone far yet in the game of Yahoo , I realised I was still making small small change while I thought I was living good lol
I saw boys who were cashing out at least $400k daily from Monday to Friday except on weekends when U.S banks are closed

It became thrilling to me , everything about food and drinks were inside their house , they do everything indoors
They had more than 6 fridges in their tower in Dubai Doha road
All filled up with different drinks , food everywhere
Weed everywhere , who says they don't smoke weed in Dubai lol , life they Dubai lol

To be continued ..............

I'm too lazy to read anything that has Yahoo in it, could you summarize please

maryannasemota:
If my husband asks for DNA test after giving birth, I'll give him the test and divorce him - Nigerian lady says

I used this one doesn't know DNA test can be done without her know. Your DNA is literally everywhere. I can get DNA from the spoon use used to eat, from your cloths, from literally anything that touches your body, so there is no need to Inform from you.

Kanoski:
It's no news that virtually every yahoo boy uses an iPhone.
Even the upcoming ones use their first pick to purchase an iPhone

So I was wondering, aside from the exceptional security that iphones offer,
what other features attract them to this devices that make them more desirable than their android counterparts

Their is something they call IP, they say the IP of the phone is strong, so their Facebook account and other social media doesn't get banned quickly. But I think it's not so.

Typing.....

You are looking for who to insult na abi, can you afford urgent 5k? reno should stop saying nonsense because 95% of nigeria guys can't afford such amount urgently.

Can you ready want you just typed.

Cashsteady:




Euro directly to my account

You use current or savings?
First if you use current or savings account, it's likely you money would be reversed. You need a domiciliary account to receive funds in foreign currency.
And recently, central bank issued a directive not to allow funds sent from abroad to be received naira, which means the money can't enter your account in euro which means it's likely to be reversed, but I can't say
Call your bank to confirm.
If it get reversed, I'd say our should use platforms like Xoom, worldremit, or Western Union, use cash pickup, once the payment is sent you can go to the bank used and pickup you cash (in Euro) then exchange it yourself.

Cashsteady:
Im not into fraud btw I have known this guy and I just told him I needed money so he sent 750 to my bank directly and Bank hasn't alerted me on anything... What do I do

First which type of account do you use?
In what currency did he send the money to you, is it in naira or he just sent in euro to your account

2plurse:
A guy used my Sim without my notice to bypass google account on a stolen Samsung A70..pls what should I do

I seriously don understand you

700 naira, can you provide the person's account number, don people will just spoil their reputation with just a little thing

King indeed, Most Nigerian monarchs are now politically driven. Not special about them again
