I believe he was just a basic looking student from a poor or average background. I guess his classmates whose parents were coming to drop them off with Peugeot 504 & Mercedes Benz 230E flatbooths were probably looking down on him.
In this Life, no one truly knows tomorrow.

Anyone who owned a Peugeot 504 or Benz 230E in those days was not a 'small' person!

Most of these show biz people talk too much

DubaiLandLord:
Him money no reach politics money o. A Nigerian Governor have the capability to dash person #200 million Nigeria. Shey Obi Cubana fit dash person that kin amount?

Be there waiting for who will come and dash you money, don't go and work hard!

He says and I quote "I'm not revealing the country we're flying to before haters go and wait for me there".

Very funny, he's not scared of a 14 year jail sentense but he's afraid of haters

cybersoldiers:
Why do you Yoruba's always envy Igbo's?

Can't you look elsewhere?

I've never in my life seen any tribe more envious than the Yorubas.

Too bad.

Anyway, most of you are just jobless

Must you people turn every argument here into tribal war?!

iPrevail:
You are making it sound like she's going to sponsor the wedding or take care of the family

Omor, stop making a mountain out of a molehill. It's your life! You made a mistake, you are trying to fix it... And most importantly, you are doing it for you!

How is it important to her if you completed university degree or not? Pffft!

It's an important info which the lady deserves to know

chocboi78:
whats there to be jealous about?
Flood swallowing cars?
SMH

It happens all over the world and the same thing happened last week in the UK, Germany and The Netherlands

kingsways:
NK has renounced Nigerian citizenship over and over in the past

You can't go overseas kidnap a foreigner and bring him to Nigeria. That's state sponsored terrorism and international law doesn't all that

Since he caimls he's not a Nigerian why then was he meddling in Nigerian affairs and inciting violence in the country?!

OfoIgbo:
Nnamdi Kanu is a British citizen. Your Draconian Buharist laws can't apply to him

There are British citizens and there are British citizens.

The British Government will never go to war because of him!

Dalil8:
He also called Cristiano Ronaldo an idiot, and Mourinho 'abnormal' in the leaked audio.

Is everything going well with Perez? I feel like he's being set up, someone wants him out.

Whether he's being set up or not, the fact is that he made those comments

The crackdown was bound to happen at some point...it was only a matter of time

Lighthammer:
That's how one slapped me twice at an atm stand some month ago,simply coz i insist she should line up like the others and i reported the matter...the she devil tried to bend the truth and was saying i was touching her inappropriately...but thank God for cctv she was disgraced

I absolutely hate it when a person starts violence against another person then turns around later to claim victim

Very informative article

Tusly:
Renmoney can render you useless with their ridiculous interest rate, please Avoid THEM by all means if you love your life.

Charging a high interest does not necessarily mean scam...they give loans that have no collateral therefore it's only reasonable to expect that the interest rate will be high.

The reason why most Nigerians run into problems with loans is because they borrow without having any means or intention to pay back.

Calling someone a scammer implies that the person has cheated you out of a business deal or has advertised a business proposal that any reasonable person can see is unrealisable and with intention to deceive or mislead so as to gain an unfair economic advantage!

WriterX:
This thread has been one of the best i have read so far on NL this 2021, i won't lie , I read all the comments from 1-11 and intend to read on, so much to learn .

MY IDEAL BUSINESSES ARE POULTRY OR A GAME CENTER OR A VIEWING CENTER

I intend to go into POULTRY because i have been assisting many people over three years now to raise birds, I don't eat chicken or any meat so i won't be bothered about eating them lol like someone mentioned which i understand how tempted one can be.

Its not going to be side hustle, i am a gemini and i always have that believe in what i do can prosper giving the right approach, yes feeding has been a pain in the asses of bird keepers but i intend to approach my business in a different way that can help minimize the cost.

its a good business and sadly i have seen so many failed at it , some reasons they caused and some that just happened, getting bad birds, poor feeding, maintenance and so many.
i like to think out of the box and experiment, i read alot and watch videos on fields i am keen on, hopefully knowledge isn't just power but profit as well.

i am still learning and i hope it can help me perfect my business when i start it eventually, i am sincere and honest atleast that is what i think lol (i know it kills some businesses lol)

at heart i am a gamer, i know alot of game houses around the neighborhood who make alot back then and the kids who spend nothing less than 3k on games, my ideal set up would be to introduce not just playstations (2,3,4 and if possible 5) but xboxs and internet gaming PCs but thats alot of money i will be putting in right? well i am also thinking of gaming subscription services and normal pay as you go, weekly competitions and monthly , to spice things up, i have asked around and the feed backs and surveys are actually good at the moment.

i read here about a guy who owns a game truck and goes to event to offer his services, its also a thing i would like to think of incorporating all this is money talk and that for now i am currently working on.

the viewing center is something that is poorly done in the area, i have made my own designs of what i think would be nice, its a student area and lots of youths around, i know what i can do if i get the right capital and i am extremely patient so hopefully it can help cope if difficulties arises.

all three are good businesses for me, but my heart is with poultry, i love keeping birds , have done it for years, i have seen the pros and cons, i have learnt alot of tricks and techniques from different people so its my focus point for now, but the other two are there and if iget the right support then i am good to go.

Some of these businesses look good on paper, it's when you actually start it that you'll realise that you don't know as much as you think you do about the business!

Lagos with all its billions can't stop flooding, secondly the cities you are calling don't flood everyday unlike the overrated slum called Lagos.

Why are you people so jealous of Lagos?!

Mechanics don chop be that!

TOTOnigga:
Hello guys.... I don't just know.. Is it just me or is there anything I don't understand......my parents are rich people especially my dad, I know that for sure... someone paying #950,000 naira per year as school fees for me aside other expenses, plus multiple houses and lands I can't even keep count of....

How come they are this stingy? There is no time I would ask them for money for my own personal well being or any of my personal needs that they would like to assist me. I once ask mum for #12,000 naira just to buy a fairly used android phone (when I know they can even afford me an iPhone x) but she told me I should wait till months end before she gives me saying there is no money on ground... it's five months now and still nothing (not waiting for it though)...

Then I ask my dad, he told me I don't need an android phone... telling me that phone makes people unserious and other types of bulls*it( a 19 year old student for that matter)

Any expenses that is not book or academic related is not important...my parents would rather buy clothes for me than give me money to buy clothes... sometimes I end up not wearing some of them..

The funniest part is that, anytime I take any urgent lie(Asin scam) about any payment in school...they wouldn't Waits a second to send it to me... This has got me telling all sorts of lies just to get what I know can be gotten honestly.. It has even gotten to the point that any money that enters my hand now, I use it to play sports betting to see if I can get enough money for what I need, but I end up loosing the money...I am just frustrated.. someone time I wish I didn't even have rich parents cos what's the point...

Go and work for your own money so you can use it to gamble all you want!

ford101:
no business can strive in ado ekiti. A town that wake up by 10am.

That means it's even worse than Enugu where people wake up by 6am

realray:
in as much as Lagos has the potential to be among the best cities if not the best in the whole of Africa, they just need to work seriously on their Drainage.....

Germany and the UK that also experienced serious flooding after torrential rainfall, do they also have problem with their drainage?

dorin27:
Haba bros, kilode?

Biko, take it easy on Lagosians.

Na jealousy dey worry am

This is why I don’t like the Island. Even though I spent the best part of my childhood and early youth in VI.

I am now a full time mainlander.

Oga talk true, na high rent pursue you

Reference:
Hmmm..... my only concern is about the Dangote Refinery. We donot want flood water getting near the power generating plants. Cannot afford a Chernobyl on the Peninsula.

The electricity for the refinery is not generated using nuclear reactors therefore there is no risk of having a nuclear meltdown!

donstan18:
Lagos is the dirtiest, overrated, frustrating, suffocating, shiitiest, over populated, filthiest, disorganized, irritating and over hyped state in the world.

The presence of celebrities is the only thing differentiating Lagos from Abia and Ekiti state.

A ground for thuggery, traffic, depression, crimes, fake lives, bleaching, oloshoism, infections and all manner of fvckery.

Any honest Lagosian will agree with me.

If you ever leave Lagos to Abuja, Port harcourt or Kano, you’ll understand me better. To even think this is happening to the overrated Lekki makes it more funny.

Tueh!!

That's not Lekki, it's Marina and there's a difference between the two!

Dear Nairalanders, I was amazed when I see one Nairalander share the Amount he saved from January till date, but I am not discipline enough to save in piggy because I can break it any time. please which place is advisable to save money between banks and Insurance and state the reason.

mynd44

At this point you should be more concerned about where your money will be safer.

Saving in banks is much safer cos that's what they're designed for, besides that they face stricter regulations and monitoring by the CBN

ANTIFA:
A middle age mother felt because she is female and slapped me in public when I didn't do anything. I was assaulted by the said woman. Cause I am gentle and young.


Please Elders in the house I want to report to the police about the public assault. I am just wary of the police. I want to know how I can go about it.

Thanks...

Next time return the slap there and then with jara sef!

Esusustuffs:
Hold your money in your account while I trade forex for u. Gain between 150k to 250k monthly. Kindly note that I am not collecting any money from you. The money will be in your trading account. I just trade and you send my commission to me monthly. Commission is 35% of the profits I make for u monthly. What's app zero seven zero 3 771 0461

So that when you blow the account you'll tell him sorry and move on with your life while he bears the loss!

If you're as good as you claim then you don't need another person's money to trade before you make profit

JojoNaija:
There has been an upsurge in the number of female bank chief executives in Nigeria in recent years.

Indeed, this is a welcome development, as over the years, there has been agitation for more female participation in every sector. The banking sector is no exception, clearly.

The rise in the number of bank managing directors who are women could be linked to the growing reputation of women being better managers.

Before now, we have witnessesd the growing number of women who are chairpersons of boards of banks, for instance, GTBank (Osaretin Demuren), Access Bank (Mosun Belo-Olusoga) and First Bank (Ibukun Awosika). All these serves in aligning Nigeria with the global movement toward gender equality.
