grandstar: Real businessman who paid too high a price for this business. He himself admitted he bought a nonprofit.
Twitters true value was more around $12bn but because it's a big social media company, $19 bm tops. If he was being a bit wasteful $22bn.
This is not true. Twitter can be leveraged in so many ways. It can be worth up to $100B. But the owner has to be neutral, politically and otherwise. Unfortunately Elon has already thrown in with the right and Republicans!
Iamicekid: Yet d billionaire made the decision on his 40billion worth company but Na u wey no even get 100m dey talk se e dey wrong for his decision, sodiq ogbon
But YOU yourself think about it. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they automatically have common sense
Mark don start sef for instagram and facebook. Paid instagram blue tick available to users in USa and Newzealand Australia rught now. Worldwide soon. Meta bluetick For $11.99 per month on the web or $14.99 per month on Apple and Android operating system.
Iamicekid: They didn’t reach that height in the first place by been too greedy, they will start from somewhere observe the market once it goes well, they take it to another level and observe again, they can’t just make decisions like that without caring of the blowback, if they do like that they would have not reach that level in the first place cause the business would have fold up
They didn't reach that level by being stupid either. Anybody with common sense KNOWS that anybody willing to pay $8 for blue tick will also pay $10. It is not greed, it is billionaire mentality
Nigerians and nonsense! Nigeria is the ONLY place on earth where someone is referred to as "my governor, senator so and so". One day it will be "the president, senator..."!! Even the America we copied from don't do that. No one has been calling Hilary Clinton senator since she left the senate. I honestly find it annoying and so tacky! WHAT IS WRONG WITH US??!!
Kizyte: I love Billionaire mentality. If na poor man get Twitter, he go dey fear to take certain decisions. Elon is not smiling after all!
Iamicekid: Elon Na business man, since he don see how much he can make with the $8 monthly payment for the blue tick, he is ready to make everyone pay for it, no more free blue tick cause u are a celebrity that’s $8 wasting every month
Billionaire mentality my a*s. Elon fall hand. He for make am $10. What is he afraid of?? Real billionaire mentality will tell you that ANYBODY who will pay $8 for blue tick can equally pay $10
oyichi: yes, he may have some dubious character but I believe he will restructure this country
One thing I'm almost sure of is that he won't be the one calling the shots, the one doing the actual governing. The cabal will continue. His job will be to to try to appear in public time to time, appear as if he had a hand in governing
He's not a disciple of any Awo, stop lying. Awo was never a drug dealer nor was he ever nearly as corrupt. The only thing is, it will be VERY HARD to beat Buhari in failure!
THEbaddest007: And lastly, school is not a scam because lots of great men have benefited from it. Great men like Peter obi, chukwuma soludo, wole soyinka, yemi osinbajo.
BRATISLAVA: The forum is filled with poor, angry boys and men. Why do you want to dash the only joy they've had since they were born with facts? They are refusing to believe it's a lie. What can you do? They only see what they are programmed to see.
U right. Can't blame them too much though. It'd have been really GREAT if this were true!
nairamaniac: It may mean that he did it without her knowledge. Some people open accounts on behalf of their parents and lodge money in there without the parents knowledge.
Or maybe she's going with the flow.
Folks are funny. You think this were that simple and all these billionaires wouldn't be doing it? - Just transfer your assets to your children so your hated ex wife won't get a penny - wow, what a great idea and Hakimi is the first to think about it! What a great legal mind!
Hezzyluv: He did what he did on a low-key not allowing his mom know about it
Hakimi is a living legend His name should be engraved in Guinness book of record and to be tagged The man who saw tomorrow....
KosiGee: This is not to be celebrated. I think Hakim’s mother should’ve avoided the press or sought the advice of a seasoned solicitor before granting any interviews.
The woman should’ve kept quiet if she loved her son. I don’t think this admission will do her son much good.
adedayourt: It very possible to be amassing wealth in the name of another person while the person is not aware of it. For example I have my brothers name in some of my stuff and he doesn't even know about it
nairamaniac: It's like he did all these without the. Mom's knowledge or her feigned ignorance is her alibi.
Most people are simply incapable of thought. All this means is, the mum just confirmed what every thinking person knew all along the, the story is FAKE!
Tymk: when you jam this particular girl , u own is finish. I don't pray you meet her ever . I am still trying to get my mind of the agent sent directly from hell
No mind am. People get addicted to a particular brand of cigarette or beer, how much more sex partner. Best thing is, don't start! Or if you do, don't make it a habit
pryme: Is only an inexperienced man that will say all puussys are the same.
Of course all puussys are basically the same (ignoring the extreme cases). It is what the pussy is attached to, not the pussy itself. Sex is mostly psychological
While hookup culture has provided many people with a way to satisfy their sexual desires without the pressures of a committed relationship, it has also had significant impacts on modern relationships. Here are some of the ways that hookup culture is changing the way we approach dating and relationships:
Casualness is the Norm With hookup culture, casual sex has become normalized, and many people view it as a standard part of the dating process. This can lead to a lack of emotional investment in relationships, and a focus on physical pleasure rather than emotional connection.
Fear of Commitment Hookup culture can also lead to a fear of commitment, with many people avoiding serious relationships in favor of short-term flings. This can be problematic for those seeking a long-term partner, as they may struggle to find someone who is looking for the same level of commitment.
Communication Challenges Hookup culture can also lead to communication challenges, as partners may not be clear about what they want from the relationship. This lack of clarity can lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and ultimately the breakdown of the relationship.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) With casual sex becoming more prevalent, there is an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It’s important for those engaging in hookup culture to take precautions to protect themselves and their partners, such as using condoms and getting tested regularly.
Emotional Consequences Finally, hookup culture can have emotional consequences, as it can lead to feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and even depression. The focus on physical pleasure can be all-consuming, leaving little room for emotional connection or intimacy. Navigating Hookup Culture
While hookup culture can have its challenges, there are ways to navigate it successfully. Here are some tips for those looking to engage in hookup culture:
Be Clear About Your Intentions One of the most important things you can do is be clear about your intentions. If you are only looking for a casual encounter, be upfront about it. This can help to avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings down the line.
Set Boundaries It’s also important to set boundaries, both for yourself and for your partner. This can help to ensure that both parties are comfortable with the arrangement, and can help to prevent any potential misunderstandings.
Practice Safe Sex Practicing safe sex is crucial when engaging in hookup culture. Always use condoms and get tested regularly to protect yourself and your partner. Be Honest About Your Feelings If you find that you are developing feelings for your hookup partner, be honest about it. While it can be difficult to have these conversations, it’s important to be open and honest to avoid further emotional pain down the line.
Take Time for Self-Care Finally, it’s important to take time for self-care when engaging in hookup culture. This can mean different things for different people, but may include taking a break from hookups when needed, engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment, and seeking support from friends or a therapist when necessary.
In essence , hookup culture has become a prevalent part of modern dating and relationships. While it can provide some individuals with a way to satisfy their sexual desires without the pressures of a committed relationship, it also comes with potential risks and challenges, such as a lack of emotional investment, fear of commitment, communication difficulties, and the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
It is important to be aware of these potential downsides and to take steps to protect yourself and your partners. At the same time, it is possible to navigate hookup culture in a way that is fulfilling and respectful, by being clear about your intentions, setting boundaries, practicing safe sex, being honest about your feelings, and taking time for self-care.
Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether hookup culture aligns with their values and goals, and to approach it with awareness and intentionality.
Carlyboi: I’m not interested in none of the hogwash you put up there if you like you can resurrect a post from year 2000 since you’re that idle,just don’t mention me on such posts.
Lastly don’t quote me further this is the last civil reply you’d be getting from me. Take care.
You can't tell someone not to quote you. It is like Supreme Court ruling against the Presidency - they have no way to enforce it!
advanceDNA: We are not talking about naija .....i dont know how u came up with that saying something is confusing you...... buying property in people's name is a legal loop hole in the system........its ur money....u can use it to buy wateva u like and for who ever u like..u can even use it to buy property for olosho...and girlfriend....
As a wife...u are supposed to be on top of what's going on in ur home...Hakimi's wife loose guard.... because she contributes nothing hence ddnt know where finances were going to....she was just waiting for divorce time to cash out...
Are u telling me pple in the US or europe must buy property in their name by force??
Are u telling me if i use all my money buy car car and property for olosho...court will accuse me of hiding property from my wife??
There'd be all sorts of taxes that will amount to paying more than half the value in taxes - better for him to split 50/50 with wife. See below
Psoul: Are you truly smart? Let me correct you first. Hiba Abouk (Hakimi's wife) net worth is not €3m. Her net worth is $2m which is about €1.8m
Now back to the topic. You want to believe that cos she is worth $2m and that made her to be contented and will not like to
You too, see below. €3m is not beans. Someone with a good job plus a networth of €3m does not marry for money!
Carlyboi: Dude,is this how idle you are?quoting me on a post from 2017?go and get something worthwhile doing.
And if you’re not visually impaired and lack comprehension skills you’d know I was talking about the reason he got that heavy punishment for a $100 crime. Ciao.
I resurrected a thread from 2010 and it ran for quite a while. And you are talking of quoting a post from just "yesterday" (2021)
As for the topic, it's just one of my pet peeves that you people don't see the wayo in Naija sentencing system.
This guy was given a slap on the wrist made to sound harsh and you people fell for it!
He's given one year on each of the two counts to run CONCURRENTLY - meaning he was given ONE YEAR for both counts. And he's the option to pay N200k instead, which is nothing. And everyone of you was saying how harsh 2 years is They fooled you as usual!
advanceDNA: ....no be today rich pple start to dey buy properties in other ppl's name to hide their wealth or keep funds in secrete account or shell companies......
Why some pple dont do it is because its actually hard to trust pple......once u become rich..u become super paranoid cos u become a target for exploitation by everyone including ur family
.even the so called parents can ruin you. britney spears is an example.......so its risk buying property or keeping money in anybody's name other than urself....
Try dey watch judge judy on cbs reality channel and see how children sue their mothers and fathers over small money issue...
..
I think Naija system dey confuse you. If you hide your assets in someone else's name to lower or avoid taxes or to shield it from a spouse, if you are caught youbare going to jail
1. Why didn't all the news outlets reporting the incident pick it up that the news is fake?
2. Who told you that she has 3m euros? Even if she did, so what?
All smart news outlets like BBC have common sense and so knew right away it was fake She is an actress and files taxes that's how u know, it matters because it shows she's not desperate to marry for money. €3m is not beans
