This guy created something special with the cchub in yaba. And even Mark Zuckerberg took notice and had to visit.

I told someone tinubu believes in young people. Young guys and girls run all those parastatals in Lagos. LagosDVSA, LSETF, LADOL .etc.

I say ehne

Nigerians are super talented, if only we could harness and direct all this positives for the right reasons and in the right direction. God How do we get somethings wrong.

jonapeters:
I pray he doesn't disappoint like ex senator Bankole, the youngest ever speaker of house of rep till date. The system is so corrupt that there's no room for the young minds to put their talents to use.

If he likes,he should disappoint.tinubu has done his best

I know tunubu will become a wayward jagajaga president, worse than obj and no better than buhari, when all is said and done.
But this decision looks thoughtful.

Sorry to say guy, but you are a big fool.

And if you graduated from the University, that is if you actually went to school.

I am beginning to see why, some companies pay a degree holder 45k for a month.

BAT really has eyes for talent , however one should not shy away from the fact that the three ex governors on the 2nd list has nothing to offer .

If not for the dollar issue , Gandollar will make a better minister

Normally.

Welcome on board Omoluabi atata.




Omoluabi refers to the idea of being a person of good character, morality, and virtue

Follow who sabi way. So that they can show us the way

A tale of two tribes in Nigeria

Tribe A ….they believe in emotions over logic n pride themselves as brave, they mostly act before they think of the consequences just to feed their egos n they always have d mindset that the sword is mightier than the pen, they are boastful and arrogant….they pride themselves as the BRAVE tribe


Tribe B….. they believe in logic over emotions and are very calculative in their doings, they think before they act n weigh d consequences of their actions before embarking on it, they have d mindset that the pen is mightier than the sword, they are submissive n reasonable… a quality tribe A see as cowardice n always take delight in calling them coward

One day thieves invaded their houses, tribe A in his usual behavior decided to set fire in his own house so as to chase the thieves away without thinking of the aftermath when the thieves are gone

Tribe B decided to build fence around his house so as not to destroy his property n to chase d thieves away with little damage

Tribe A in their usual manner mocked tribe B n called them a coward for wasting money on fence instead of setting d house on fire

After the thieves have left Tribe B is enjoying his home n Tribe A is battling with the raging fire to the extent that Tribe A ( the warrior) is now seeking refuge in tribe B ( cowards) house

You need psychiatric evaluation. This hatred and bitterness that your parents planted in you is the reason why you have been unsuccessful in life

WorldRichest:
You need psychiatric evaluation

You need it even more

Congratulations to him!
