yen yen look at you wailing as if there are not also accounts that create topics only for Igbo, all what your generation is good at is playing the victims

For those of you that says Yoruba is successful in this country because of government,
Yoruba is the most successful in UK and USA too, UK and USA government must be helping Yoruba to marginalize Igbo

ur hatred for Igbos is too notch....d person u quoted never said Igbos alone...infact he included other tribes...but as usual, u singled out one tribe to make a scapegoat....

On more than one occasion, once Forbes puts a Nigerian on their cover page, next thing is the person is caught for fraud.

I believe Mr Tope Awotona is legit though

yad2eidi:
first source of income please. did he skull mine or yahoo?
cos if na the Igbos, their first source is always drugs.
if na hausa na terrorism.
so please tell us the first source of this afonjas income.

the pig above me is right, afonjas are not mates with anybody when it comes to skull mining . same way Igbo Igbos are not mates with anybody when it comes to drugs.

Emiefele rich pass this man 😆 🤣 😂

forenzy:
Tope Awotona is the founder and CEO of scheduling software company Calendly.
Awotona, a former salesman for tech firms including EMC (now Dell EMC), founded Calendly out of his own frustration with the back-and-forth emails required to schedule meetings.

He bootstrapped Calendly for years before taking on a $350 million investment in 2021 that valued the firm at $3 billion.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Awotona immigrated to the United States as a teenager.
Before founding Calendly, he had started a few other businesses, including one that sold projectors and another that sold garden tools, that flopped.

Congratulations to him but what has been his contributions back home towards bettering the life of the less privileged and the downtrodden

Must everybody better the lives of the less privileged? Someone will make his money from his sweat and entitled pricks like you will be telling him how to eventually spend it.

How much has your father given back to society? You Nigerians should learn to appreciate success without attaching conditional clauses to it. I can bet you didn't know him until this article surfaced on nairaland but you now feel you have an opinion as regards his wealth and resources.

It just feels like yesterday, Buhari came in promising Eldorado. But upon seeing that it isn't as easy as Jonathan made it look, they decided to devise a means that will ensure that Nigerians don't give them the Ghadaffi treatment>>>> TRIBALISM. It worked so well, and ever since then, the APC has become invincible. No matter how low they sink this country, mark my words, they will always get away with it! At this point, someone has to step in or else...
Anyone waiting for a revolution is just wasting his time. All the APC has to do is pay Sam Larry and his thugs to infiltrate whatever protest or revolution and cause mayhem. Or if that doesn't work, give the revolution a tribal colouration and voila! people will throw their common sense out the window. God bless Nigeria.

Stop wasting your time, he is the same anambralastborn cheesy

Kokorokomanaoga:

How does someone praising the feats of his tribesmen translate to tribalism, if you are not ashamed of your tribe why dont you post and praise their achievements too?
That means the likes of anambraIstson etc should be banned too?
