PoliticsRe: Sanusi Lamido Arrested, Exiled To Nasarawa After Dethronement As Emir Of Kano by Stillthebest:

Why is Sanusi being molested this way! Something is wrong, and Ganduje is just an instrument to finish that thing that's wrong.

He has always not been celebrated to the last. He is always sent away!

This could be a curse.

Why is Sanusi rising and falling all the time?

He might be ready for anothrr foray. But being the Emir of Kano has been his utmost dream life. He said so when he was fired as the CBN helmsman by the Goodluck Govt.

He will sure have a new opportunity but he can't remain the same again.

PoliticsRe: Pope John Paul Visited Abacha And His Family In Nigeria In 1998 (Throwback) by Stillthebest: 11:35am On Mar 09, 2020
Dpharisee:
Abacha was Nigeria's Gaddafi, who wanted to bring development across the country. The largest housing estate project in Africa is in Gwarinpa Abuja started by Abacha.
He established PTF which he unfortunately handed over to a bigoted Buhari who used it to promote himself in the North, not much got to the South East and South South which was never the intention of Abacha, now this is the reason Abacha is loved in the SE/SS which confuses Yorubas. Govt house in Yenagoa is named after him.

Some of the monies said to be looted where actually plans of circumventing sanctions by the West against Nigeria, I am not saying he was not corrupt.
Abacha is better than Buhari anyday.
Abacha had his vision 2010 which he was following diligently despite Yoruba led NADECO propaganda of Tinubu and his Omonile cohorts.
Abacha did well as a military President. He had a new vision of Nigeria. He was as well ready to crush anything and anyone who will not allow the materialism of his vision. There might not be Fayemi governing Ekiti today bt for Abachas magnanimity. But then, he was tyranical which might be needed as a military man but he was looting in grandiosity.

He wanted to become another Mobutu.... Corruption was actually the Bane of his Govt.

Under what platform would Buhari install a successor?

Buhari lacks the acumen, sagacity , tenacity, and political structure to install a man who is not a member of Apc.


All I know is Buhari would neither show his support openly for either Tinubu nor Osinbajo.

As much developed as the US is, they still live in nature. They stylishly live like early men but in a civilized way.

These types of building, if you live in it here, gossips won't let you rest by mocking u as being archaic or poor.

At the sight of their condos, one would wonder if A Nigerian who earns averagely as the occupants of the condos in the USA , would ever live in such in Nigeria. We are poor but live expensively.

fyneguy:
lol The Party will exist. This is all about 2023. The Anti-oshiomole Govs are 2nd term Govs who are seeking relevance post-2023. If they lose the attempt to get rid of Oshiomole, they will re-align with him for self-preservation. It is too costly to not re-align, when the time comes. Some politicians are stupid but these ones know better. That is why they are fighting early enough to see the direction to go before 2023. lol There will be negotiations - give and take.
Good one from you. Dont mind people saying APC won't exist. Is that how a party is disintegrated.

People are just seeking a soft landing and some are negotiating their ways to the presidency ticket thinking if Oshiomole still lives as the party head, he will make it difficult for them. They have no choice then to realign if the swords swinging doesn't bring home, blood.

This Is deep and I understand you very well. I think the only way an Individual below that age range can be In possession of such huge asset Is by Inheriting it from his/her parents being the only offspring..
Bro, so many factors. Just too many factors won't make it that easy without you having started on time and grow in the process. Then, aging will surface. Except one has had the opportunity to scam big.

But if they mention any young man who is as rich as the Adenugas and started just 5 years ago, no matter the industry he or she is, then I will change my thinking.

Doesn't mean it can't happen tomorrow.

You're already talking out of context. Trying many times before success is different from the main argument. You said there's no billionaire that started late and I gave examples. We have many billionaires in Nigeria that you don't know about. Nigeria is much bigger outside Lagos and things are happening even outside Lagos. There's this man that owns World Oil. I don't know his worth but he's stinkingly rich and he's not up to 45 yet, if I'm right. We have many of them around, if you dig deep.

I'm not saying it's easier starting late but know that what works for A may not work for B. Mr Bean made his billions in entertainment late in life, mind you he was an engineer prior to his stint in entertainment.
Nope I am not. We are actually educating ourselves.

My context was when did you start to make success, how old are you right now?

Now your examples are good but;

Buffet started so early but he had his success late then that didn't imply that he hadn't had some success little or large before at his younger age, those are the experience, Goodwill, and know how he built on to achieve his feet at the older age of his. So also many others like that home and abroad. We call those period the times of process.

When one starts matter alot. There is on-the job-experience which is attached to all professions and businesses. These you master as you move on-go and read gifted hands by Ben Carson.

There are alot of factors in Africa that won't make a younger man make enormous wealth, whereas in the western world some of those factors might not come into play eg, family parties like burials, excessive spending on weddings, being a parent to children you never born and saddling responsibilities to uncles and aunts, just because you are the well-to-do. Those things take away money.

Other factors are Govt policies, and you must be in liason with Govt to make wealth in Nig. We have cases, lik Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga, Elumelu etc.

To be able to have a Govt connect u must have had some age accrued to you because we have older people up there.

If Zuckerberg has been a Nigerian, he won't be in his current rank.

I can talk on and on.... But to clear the air on this issue: "industry where you operate" this has nothing to do with wealth. No wealthy man in the world that has one source of income. Agric could be the bedrock on which you had moved to other businesses that turned you to a multi Billion man.

In short, any foray can turn anyone to a wealthy bag. Carlos of the US is into furniture,stocks among others, yet he is a wealthy man.
We have seen people who closed their filling stations up because of insolvency, even as much as people think the biz is a promising one.

NB* One person claimed to have made $1M at 24, how old is he now? Have we been hearing his name among the top under 40 Multi billionaires in Ng today? Why is he constant in Nairaland?
I wouldn't have made 50M and still have much presence on Nairaland.

No wealthy man would have time to type or write much except his wealth is coming from typing and writing.

Once again, except you inherit wealth , age is part of wealth accumulation and that has to do with when you started out.
Qes.

Note* to every assumption, law or promulgation, there is always a case that will stand out.

Warren Buffet started late. The founder of KFC started late and a host of them. The industry plays larger role, not age. Be guided.
Nothing like be guided. Go n read their profiles well and come back. You would understand that they had tried so many things as youths that never worked. Before they got their feet on the ground in another foray. And who told you Buffet started late. Which book did you read?

So many things won't make a young man make enormous wealth.

Mention one person in Nigeria who has 25B and he's less than 45!

How many Zuckerberg do we have in the world. How many less than forty yrs old people in the world do we have that have 25 billion Naira equivalent? No one is talking about having 2billion Naira .

You folks keep jumping. I actually said accumulation of enormous wealth.

Wealth comes in form of property, people you have raised, your successful children, possession , successful companies and money.

Abundance of valuable possessions and money is Wealth. This includes private jets, yatch, etc

How are you going to get those without having years added to you?

Accumulation of enormous wealth requires age factors. Take it to the moon

Don't ever say what you don't know. Before my 24th birthday I had already made a million Dollar and not through crime. Africa has a lot of opportunities than the West and Asia to make early money but you can't do that without knowledge of business. Mind you as at then many of my friends were worth more than 3 million Dollars as I wasn't the wealthiest.
Man you are just one out of 100s. If you say people in a city are barrens, does that mean there are people who are not fertile there.

I am saying what i know and you are saying yours. I don't tell u to support mine.

And if you make a million dollars before 24, your background must have facilitated that! Qes

grin Oshiomole cannot fight his way out of this situation. Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .

Anyone who says women arent part of the reasons men drive for Wealth is just an hypothetical hypocrite.

Women is part, unconsciously of the reasons men strive for Wealth.

You make money, build a company, build houses, buy cars, gave a family, travel around the world.

But you keep making money, do u keep repeating the circle above without adding women ether as wives or side chicks?

Most especially in Africa, men tend to do that. It is our we are wired.
Tell me a wealthy man who has no side chick at one point in his life or the other.
