The same Transcorp many Nigerians purchase thier stocks since 2004 and nothing come out of it either in the form of dividend or Bonus till date..
A case of collecting from poor to pay the rich..

If you want to find rich people or be connected to them, why not enquire through Google? You'll be shocked at what you learn.

One of the ways to find connections is to join a social club like Ikoyi or Island clubs.

The best way in my opinion for someone from a poor background to make connections is to deliver extraordinary good service in everything you do. A good name opens door.

My dad waa a chartered surveyor from a poor background. Yet, one of his clients was FFK's father and many influential people. They'd be recommending you to their buddies.

First of all, how you expect poor man to join Ikoyi club? Person wey never see food chop?

Then, you really believe say wealthy people dey join gbo gbo ero club like Ikoyi club and Island club wey any average person fit join? You don ever hear of Boat Club wey your type can only enter to do waiter or toilet cleaner job?

Guy, the more I read your posts, the more I’m convinced that wisdom no dey come with old age. Oh lawd why do I keep reading this guy’s posts? 🙈🤦‍♀️

Very true. Success is not for everyone. Is not enough to desire it. You must work hard to achieve it.

👍👍

Who cares?

If you like, become the first Chairman of Nairaland PLC.

Nonsense.

U dey mind am?... mtchewwww

This man talks too much. Cho cho cho.

This clever man is saying rubbish
In 2023, the rules have changed.
In the 80’s and early 90’s people started banks.
Today it’s extremely hard for SME’s to succeed
It’s not what you know but who you know
Even Dangote gets help from the government that monopolize some industries
Deplorable cost of living & skyrocketing inflation rates
The internet is your only rescue in modern times
Why are gsk & others planning to leave?
No one leaves when profit margins are decent
Some of the practical questions we should be asking ourselves
I’m not going to put down anyone that used cunning methods to get their wealth because they are on survival of the fittest mode, especially without godfathers.
My observation:
The uprise of online services/banking apps like moniepoint, billpoint etc. The owners are very smart individuals but do you really think they started with legit clean money.
Breaking the rules so long you don’t get caught or it can’t be proven seem to be the order of the day in Nigeria

The truth is that during that your time success wasn't a hard deal, with little commitment, zeal and focus you can become successful. Nigeria was at its formative years and years of boom and competition wasn't much. Today for you be successful you have to go extra mile and think out of the box.

What of 419, round tripping and cheating your old employer you worked with as a banker? There’s a reason you’re called cowboy banker.

Any thief with opportunity can accomplish what you did. Not everyone has the soul or strength to be a thIef and hardened at the same time

For Otedola to come out and say you basically cheated him out of transcorp, what of the many many you did it to that don’t have a platform? We’ll be calling out Nigerian elites, no more sweeping under the carpet. You and Dangote should be in jail

Otedola is even dirtier. He can't take what hr dishes out to people that's why he's always whining and talking about suicides

You had wealthy friends whom
Funded and introduced you to connected people

Even if your claim is true, for a poor boy to have rich friends that "funded and introduced him to connected people" that made him richer than his so call rich friends is a great achievement. Isn't it?

I noticed they all say hardwork. However, there are many people that work hard and still don't make it. Successful people attribute their success to their abilities, while failures blame external forces. But there's a higher principle at play...time and chance happens to them all.

The system needs a little bit of luck, cos I try but they keep on rejecting me...

Noted.

While it's good to work hard and work smart, if you don't have connections (in Nigeria), you'll need God's special grace to accomplish your dreams.

This work smart mantra is the reason many are into online fraud today. Work hard first before thinking of smart

It's always easy to give motivational talk like this when u have made it big.
U did never have said this 40 years ago.

By the way all thiz are trash. U had connections, money and a circle of rich people so stop deceiving us.

If u don't have capital ur going nowhere.


If it's hard work u think say billionaires no for plenty.



Trust most billionaires at ur own peril

Smh. Wealthy friends is not his case if you know his story on Broad street, Lagos as a young banker who is very hungry for success. Create value, bring to the market place and exchange for value. Good friends are a plus but not responsible for his kind of success.

u nefa talk tru...

You know them well



Otedola too did his own.



We have little or no true billionaires, except those in commodity Trading, Tech and few from Diaspora, the rest are mostly disguised retired 419ners, wire wire, drug, FOREX round-tripping scammers like Aliko and co

And otedola did not cheat? Was it not all over the news in 2010/11 of how he betrayed Dangote his friend and the news was big, forget there's no Saint anywhere, these people became big because they knew how to manoeuvre their ways around the corridors of power and what you should be praying is for God to grant you that same grace and wisdom, how did you think Adenuga became big.
Leave story and pray for yourself.

This were the big boys are. I recall one evening at the club, it's a memory to realish.

If there’s a way to like a comment more than 100times on Nairaland, it will be yours I would do first!
Don’t mind the guy, it’s like Aig or Herbert saying the same thing. Awon cowboy bankers🤣

I pity people that will take TOE's post seriously.

Elibaba1:
Even Otedola’s father cheated people as a Governor.
Femi used his father’s wealth and connections to build on whatever he has now.
There’s no clean billionaire anywhere in the world! . So?

Femi used his father's name to build his own connection else his male siblings would be rich like him. His father's tenure as gov was very short. Moreover his father wasn't the favourite, it's because two heavy weights were fighting each other thereby paved way for Otedola sr.

it that what he told u? wealthy friends won't even help u unless they have something to gain from the business.

Great

Early morning motivation.

This comment is false: “Any thief with opportunity can accomplish what you did.”

Most thief will rather take to women, clubbing building irrelevant projects and in some cases marrying extra wives. God don bless this man. Wealth has some little tricks attached to it. The honest truth is all what you mentioned against him is not enough to make him this wealthy else other thieves and hired assassins would be among the richest in the country.

This level of wealth operates on a mystery.

He is taking shots at Otedola. But Tony made His money from short-changing others that is facts

No, he's not taking shot at Otedola. Dem no born am well. Even when Otedola spoke out on how Tony defrauded him $20m, he didn't respond. Instead he was saying Femi na him brother. That it's only He follows on IG after his wife. If he takes a shot at Femi, Femi go scatter the table.
