franchasng:Lengthy but makes no sense to me. Slander isn't the same as rigging. Are you saying that Americans do not know the difference between the two words? Dangote isn't the only person benefiting from the Nigerian system, how much have the others given back? Besides, most of the stuff you wrote here are nothing but tittle tattle. Tell me the country where there aren't a few persons who are enjoying some kind of business privileges in compensation for their contributions to the economy...?? |

franchasng:Russian hacks goes way beyond facebook. Election systems in over 20 states were hacked. The DNC and it's top members were also hacked. You claim Dangote did nothing special to become who he is. Ain't that funny. If it is that easy, go and be a billionaire too. Every successful person has to play dirty one way or the other. Go and read the stories of Bill Gates, Steve job, Jeff bezos and even Zuckerberg. They all played dirty to get to the top and are still playing dirty to remain there. |

lloyds:Yes some Russians created profiles they used in promoting Trump and tarnishing Hillary, but everything they said about Hillary was true. They didn't manipulate election votes, its not possible. They only manipulated Americans' emotion to vote otherwise through highly targeted social media campaigns and information hacking on Facebook to push personalised extreme political campaign messages to American voters |

bigmo1:tell me the special thing Dangote did to raise his first business startup capital ![]() Now compare it to how Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sagel Brim, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, etc raised their business startup capital. Dangote did nothing special. He only managed what his family handed over to him well, that's all |

CoolAmbience:Even musk was trying to play dirty by lying in his tweet about fake investors and that clown thinks Dangote has done nothing special to become a billionaire. |

CoolAmbience:Let's leave American election for Americans to sort out. As for Dangote and his political business wealth, it doesn't move people in the know of his shenanigans like me. I know more about Dangote's shenanigans than u. When I see Dangote and Otedola now forming best friends, I smile lol If you know, you know, let's leave matter bra ![]() |

franchasng:I shudder at the illogic of your ramblings. First off, no billionaire is self-made! Musk? OK, why didn't he become a billionaire in South Africa? Bill Gates? Ever heard of the IBM coup? I could go on and on, but no. You only need one book. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Comment again after you've read it... On a second thought, your propensity to dish out useless propaganda can only be matched with your rank jealousy. You must be leading a bitter life. Learn to pray for opportunities to become half as great as Dangote. Shalom. |

franchasng:Bill Gates and Allen lied to IBM to get a head start. It was after the IBM deal was sealed that they bought off the software they claimed to initially have. Even the original software that gave birth to Microsoft wasnt originally theirs. You see, you must do something crazy to break out successfully. Same thing Dangote and every other successful person does. Same thing, different ways. There is no time to tell u about Larry page. Google is your friend |

franchasng:He is going into everything. And he's dominating every sector he ventures into right? Why did he sell Dangote Noodles late last year? Any ideas since, according to you, the Nigerian government could help him become an industry leader in every sector? Bro, don't let tribalism eat you up. There are many children of billionaires who are crack addicts abroad... The universe presented opportunities to Dangote, he seized it and made the most of it... Little wonder on his office table stands a plaque, "nothing is impossible." He earned his place skillfully. I will end by suggesting you add another book to your reading list, "Moonwalking with Einstein by Foer." Try to keenly read the pages on the world's smartest man with an IQ of over 200. When you are done (I could send it to you if you don't want to buy it), quote me and tell me what became of him... As an aside, I know you are Igbo. Let me throw a poser to you. Do you presume our own Chimamanda Adichie would have been half as successful as she is if she hadn't been blessed with the following: √ An eminent professor of statistics (her dad). √ A civil servant, who patiently read stories she wrote from age six (her mom). √ A guardian in the US (her aunt). √ Connection to Chinua Achebe (she once lived in Achebe's house). √ in all, a family with money, willing to spend liberally on her education. PS: Try to read Achebe's Education of a British Protected Child. God bless you. |

Igboeze90:lolz, I love your comment. Anyway, u are right most popular Nigerians got popular through family push, and reason I don't fancy people using them as role models for youths. Yes they are successful but they are not worthy role models to encourage majority of Nigerian youths who come from very poor family background. Maybe Dangote and his likes can be used as role models to rich Nigerian kids like Otedola's daughter DJ Cuppy, Abiola's kids and their likes but not a good role model for majority of Nigerians who were born without a shoe nor roof. Same goes with Chimamanda and many others like them. We need to celebrate more of people who made fortune from scratch! People who built their wealth from poverty! Tomorrow now, Adenuga's son Paddy Adenuga will come out to brag how they made it on their own, how pls These people are totally wrong role models for our yourhsy, my take and thanks for your subtle comment ![]() |

franchasng:Large minds never think enmity should linger forever. I won't blame you because the consensus thinking of the average Nigerian is that every well-to-do businessman 'shortchanged' the system. As an entrepreneur, I have met Alhaji Aliko Dangote at different fora where he shared his story with us, young entrepreneurs. It will be unwise to ignore what I heard from the man himself, in the presence of stakeholders of the same system whom we accuse of enriching him, detailing how much he and other businessmen of his era struggled and toiled amidst 'killing' bank interest rates of over 40%, to successfully build and expand their businesses; and believe mere hearsay from just anyone. How do you mean you know Alhaji Dangote than I do? When we hardly know each other? Anyways, people are at liberty to think whatever they want to think. |

feldido:THERE'S nothing they can do to Lee; decentralised situation. That he sold his holding is no crime He's entitled to his tweets ![]() Shilling is a culture of the business, only the end user is advised to make use of information that best benefit him. It's a volatile industry, FOMO is real. Rekt is something that happens everyday. That being said, I find his tweets funny ![]() |

Hay God! It is not fraud case. He made a careless tweet (probably got carried away) that affected the stock price of Tesla and had to be punished for it. |

This is very good. As much as I respect the person of Elon Musk, always support his visionary invention, I detest it when innocent people are being trick to part with their hard earn money. Hope Nigerian Sec will learn and do the right thing rather than allowing banks and other listed companies on the market floor from improverishing their shareholder. Still yet to recover from 2008 stock market collapse |

Xisnin:sorry they do in China. Russia and US and most western nations. The founder and owner of Yukos Oil, a Russian oil firm, a billionaire Yukos went to jail because of tax offenses. Many that I can't begin to mention here. It is only in Africa and mostly Nigeria that they don't |
| Re: Elon Musk And Tesla Settle SEC Fraud Case For $40m,Will Resign As Tesla Chairman by dwas: 10:39am On Sep 30, 2018 |
Xisnin:That's not true my friend. They get penalized and if it warrant jail, trust me, they go to jail. Well except africa |
