No OBJ? No Atiku? so they really kicked them out.

Okay noted

When you start making money, adding more becomes a pastime. Meanwhile, children in Seun’s Nairaland still believe sports betting will make them billionaires. I laugh.

Money dey cry for somewhere .

But the disparity in income distribution is so wide and disheartening.
Some are extremely wealthy, living in affluence, while some are living in abject penury with no hope of a better tomorrow.

Some are sick, bedriddened and bedfasted with nothing to treat themselves. They end up dying due to poverty.

I want to ask, Does God write down the names of people that would become rich in life? That is, if your name isn't there on the list, no matter how hard and smart u work, you can never become rich?

These elites in Nigeria are extremely rich. God help

These are people who have ideas and execute it.
U can imagine how much he earns from other corperate companies.
Legit money o, lifelong passive income.

I thought they said OBJ is earning from MTN for bringing them to Nigeria. Just like the Awolowo's family is earning from coca cola

What's Tinubu stealing now

Biggest fraudster in history

2027 kick the certificate forger
fake Lagos builder out

Betting no fit make anyone rich.

The problem with sports betting..is simple. Footballers are human. Expecting the star player of your team to be as strong as he was at the start of the season is basically expecting a miracle. Players get injured, tired, etc.

And those are the kind of people you are expecting to bring money for you? When even team owners can buy star players and yet lose money at the end self.

So, 5.6million south African currency is now an equivalence of 474 million naira naija currency

This same man brought down the Southern Banks of Intercontinental, Union Bank and Others,while the then Legislatures failed to exercise their Oversight Functions and the rest is history but Thousands of Families were negatively Affected till today.
He would soon come on TV and Podium to tell what the Talakwa ( the Poor ) Should do.

Thought Provoking question.

God never created anyone to be poor it's just ur mindset and failure to apply some certain principles into ur life we have seen a lot of multi billionaires who doesn't even acknowledge God's existence but are doing what naturally needs to be done to attract riches to themselves.

🤔This is really really revealing!!! 🤔
