3 to 7 million for a one day event...I might be wrong.

I agree, his average might be around that range, but I don't think getting 8 figure emcee gigs would be anything completely crazy for one of the top emcees in the country.

Portable last fight with Carter Efe, he said he collected around 40M.

To invite Portable come event, you fit dey hear around 1M or even more sef...these our celebs collect good money, na the lifestyle Dem dey live fit con make them still dey struggle.

semid4lyfe:
Bruh, why you carrry elite foreign schools and USD schl fees enter the matter nah? Na wetin confuse me be that.

But I get you now. I beg of you, no carry the conversation go above my pay grade.

T for tenks.

But na those kin schools these celebs dey carry their kids go na

BamBam's daughter goes to Abraham Lincoln

Darey Art Alade's child goes to another of these elite private schools. If you dey watch any of their end of year events for IG, you'd see these our celebs as parents there.

izzou:
Maybe it depends on the type of event sha

You don dey add Maggi join simple statement wey e make

How much do you think a guy like Frank, Ebuka or IK charge to emcee, that's on average?

semid4lyfe:
Hin sense of money dey confuse me

1. He said Frank earns eight figures for hosting events.

2. He also said there are schools on the Island that charge 10 - 45k per year.

How na? Theflint1, biko come and explain.

10K USD na about 14Million a year.

Quite a number of schools dey Island wey dey collect that amount across a year (I'm talking those ones running British, French and American Curriculum).

Charter House Lagos charges around that 45K yearly.

izzou:
8 figures like 10,000,000 and above?

Odiegwu....

Impossicant

I'm not sure when Frank and IK had this conversation, but I'm guessing it should be at least a decade ago. As at then Frank was charging 1.5M to emcee events.

Chude: Yourself, Ebuka, Frank Edoho; who’s the best?

IK Osakioduwa: Frank was one of my major influences. He was the best MC in Nigeria. He told me to stop charging N450k and charge N850k.

Lifestyle inflation is a real thing for these celebs.

Primary and secondary schools dey Island wey dem dey collect like 45K a year (the ones dem dey collect 10-15K too many sef), and I've seen quite a number of celebs that their kids attend these schools.

So while a guy like Frank could be pulling 6 figures in foreign currency yearly, the lifestyle he has his family living would have him struggling, same way a guy earning 500K a month and living above his means would struggle.

BlueRayDick:
Most of the people u listed here won’t get the kind of gig Frank gets .

No serious corporate organization will give Kiekie , AY, Rufus, Roby Ekpo, Rufai, Koffi, Reuben Abati, Seyilaw, Gordons or Dotun the kind of gig you would give Frank .

The only person that can rival Frank on ur List is Ebuka .

I’m telling u this because I was present at the event and I know what Frank delivered which none of those jokers on ur list can deliver .

Would be surprised if he isn't getting 8 figures for events he hosts.

October last year. One uncle living abroad was talking to me about investing in housing and landed properties Nigeria

I gave him a 30mins mins lecture on how its an extremely stupid and braindead idea that shouldnt be entertained by supposed exposed and intelligent people

I broke it down into 5 categories
Economic - Every money you send to Nigeria loses value
Security - No need wasting talk on that
Cultural - He started with our children wont know and connect to culture. I told him in 2026 Naija culture is all over every big city in the world. You left Naija decades ago. All your kids born abroad why will you base investment on the fact that kids who have zero connection to Naija will desire to live in a place alien to them,

All the political leaders in Nigeria ensure their kids live abroad or have dual citizenship whether its Tinubu Atiku or Obi to the level of senators. While you that your kids are abroad you want them to go in the other direction

And spent 5mins in each dishing out how stupid each point is.

I told him what's the distance from Kwara to Ogbomoso its a 30mins drive that time na Kwara news still full

He wanted to bring the racism angle into it that but in this abroad they are still racist... I asked him which one he will prefer a random oyinbo calling him nigga or Bandits flogging him in the bush

After that day I made it a point to spam his WhatsApp with activities of bandits around Kwara and he hasn't replied me since then. Yesterday I already sent him this news

I know people in Nigeria who wont travel out of Lagos for anything for security reasons

E good as you advice am, the man go probably reason say na the way Nigeria dey pre-APC e take dey today.

GloriousGbola:
It was an old anthem so is it actually a replacement?

This is a better argument than the previous one.

And yea, it's still a replacement.

GloriousGbola:
Right from time tinubu has had a thing for renaming. When he became governor he renamed multiple roads in Lagos state. It got to the point a cartoon mocked him for ' renaming keke marwa to keke tinubu'

It's one thing to rename roads, and another thing entirely to replace a country's national anthem. What he did is akin to replacing the name Lagos with Lasgidi.

CrystalTiger:
Haa Chineke, Mr GloriousGbola, please I beg you in the name of whatever that's holy to you, BRING FORWARD THE LIST OF PEOPLE ( STAFF) THAT PETER OBI IS OWING..

Much easier to type multiple 500 word essays than backup his assertions.

GloriousGbola:
You have said a lot without saying anything as expected.

If you think that is the way to run a campaign or a business good on you. Small wonder all you can do is hype on social media while knocking those who actually sacrificed their time and money for a cause they believed in

The least you can do as a decent human being is keep quiet, but since you have the obidient disease you are there dissing and insulting people who actually did more than cry and wail on nairaland. Your principal will continue as he has done, making donations to create the illusion of progress while neglecting the real hard work of building a party structure from the ground up.

Basically preparing ground for another empty noise making lawsuit. I donated 10 boreholes in a region where I have no party structure so therefore the election was stolen from me

Too lazy to put in the work, too defective in leadership to inspire, to weak in character to acknowledge sacrifice, but enough of a conman to beguile the simple minded.

Enjoy fellating your hero.

It'd have been a lot easier to bring a list of persons he's owing.

izzou:
One of the misconceptions we make when comparing states with Lagos is that we use their capital as against Lagos.

When we look at Lagos, we look at the entire state .....(Ikeja, Eti-Osa, Alimosho, etc)

When we look at other states, we only look at the capital and one or two towns.

If you compare the entire state with Lagos, absolutely nothing dey there

Exactly. There's no part of what constitutes Lagos that you won't feel government presence.

Lagos is far ahead of most Nigerian states, but if other states are serious they can catch up and build much more livable and effective cities in even less than 20 years, that's assuming Lagos continues with its current style of governance.

Times change and you deal with the challenges of your time, when our parents dey graduate some of them dey get jobs and official car immediately, Nowadays none of that exist again, In the 70s you dont need a visa to travel to many first world countries, Now you need more than a visa

You either deal with the challenges of your time or keep whining about it

don't be a greedy double talking and selfish charlie

Still waiting for your explanation on why Charlie Boy deserves cancellation meanwhile you refuse to cancel Tinubu, even though according to your logic both men haven't spent time in prison.

GloriousGbola:
my man

the man had a case over 30 years agioat the height of the us war on drugs and he did not see a day of jail time

he has a past littered with all sorts of embezzlement - do you even KNOW what embezzle means? have you forgotten that both obj and gej with all the government apparatus at their command could not find any dirt on tinubu? the obj who had atiku avoiding the us for 10 years could not implicate tinubu in any way

criminal misgovernance - are you going to tell me that the trillion naira subsidy was sustainable - or we should have continued with manipulated exchange rate ?

you truly are an obidient with chaff for brains

please go one step further and post that foolish picture of tinubu from sdp to ac to acn to apc as proof that tinubu is a serial rolling stone party hopper like honest peter of pandora, brewery shares and one wristwatch fame

abeg my guy you can do better. keep obedient echo chamber noie in teh echo chamber

if you have no problem with Charlie you can also play his game tho - reach out to oasisx - you can take execute apc contract at night and curse them during the day

its all good man

The Charlie Boy that you're screaming for his cancellation, why not accord him the same grace you gave Tinubu and wait for him to do jail time?

Typical Obidient!

Raumdeuter wey support the protest for 86 per litre, is the one defending the 1350 we now pay for a litre.

Satan come church

I'm sure he didn't know we once had #750 as minimum wage when he was protesting for 86/litre.

The way all these Charly boy stans unlooked the fact that he collected money from keyamo and cut of adeyanju needs to be studied.

After that expose the man shoukd have been canceled as the double talking sellout that he is but I guess whatever drives obidients is stronger than actual logic, so here we are

Canceller General! I know you to be one of very high morals, so it surprises me that you're yet to cancel Tinubu.

I mean the man has publicly been linked to the drug business while in the US, he has a past littered with all sort of embezzlement, and as a result of his criminal misgovernance the standard of living of the average Nigerian has sunk to new depths.

Or are you one of those Obidients that have chosen to unlook the flaws of their faves?

BlueRayDick:
Are you really sure?

Attached is ChatGpt's result when I prompted for details of what Nigerian IG creators earn from meta for their contents posted on monetized account.

You sure say most of those content creators are not doing money laundry like GloriousGbola posited?

I know FB, IG, Twitter and YouTube pays creators in Nigeria when their account is monetized. Only thing I can't say with certainty is how much it is per 1000 or 1M views.

So while moetization payment might generally be poor across board, the top dawgs dem would be eating good. For a creator like VDM who arguably gets the most views per post on IG, I won't be surprised if he makes up to $10K each month.

BlueRayDick:
Are you sure about these figures you are mentioning and do the figures apply to naija creators as it applies to those in the US and other western countries?

I'm asking this because I learnt TikTok for example doesn't pay Nigerian creators unlike their US counterparts. So that's why you see most Nigerian creators begging for gifts during live shows and running adverts to make money off their creative efforts.

So I don't know if the figures you are calling for IG and YouTube also applies to naija creatives or you are just calling a generic figure. The figures sound too good to be true considering how Musical artists who enjoy high stream figures always complain that what music streaming platforms pay them per million streams isn't much to write home about.

1M views is a lot o, and those steaming platforms no get money reach these social media platforms, so there's that.

I asked what payment was like for Nigerian creators. And music streaming Numbers is around $300-400 for 1 million streams from Nigeria. $200 for Nigerian content creators on IG doesn't sound too crazy.

GloriousGbola:
I don't follow naija content creators per se. But the people I follow always have a sponsor for their clip. So if a creator actually has those views and does not have sponsors I have to wonder.

That turtle neck guy is being sponsored by mtn

Some other dude was sponsored by Trarore.

What I am saying is I suspect some of them are doing money laundering packaged as content money

You will literally find click farms in China where phones are somehow set to view and like posts

We have heard same about davidos streams.

Social media platforms pay creators who monetize their pages, and VDM's pages are monetized.

Those guys you're referencing don't get close to VDMs type of views, definitely not on IG.

BlueRayDick:
How much do they pay per 1 million views?

Do those social media platform pay better than what music platforms like Apple music, Spotify, audio mack, etc pay artists for number of streams?

Like I want us to really put things into perspective. What those social media platforms pay, can it afford a creator to live large without rubbing advert gigs?

In the month of April he had approximately 56.4M views on IG.

Using $200 per 1M views, that'd come to like $11,280 from IG for the month of April.

It most likely won't compute mathematically like that sha, and would likely be less, but I'm sure he makes some good sum from these social media platforms sha. With his views he by now should have made generational money if he was taking ads.

Even our big pop stars no dey get views reach VDM...per post e go dey make like *20 wetin the likes of Instablog dey make.

YouTube, Facebook and IG pays, TikTok doesn't.

According to AI:

Overall cross-platform average for typical creators: Roughly $500–$2,000 per million views, but this skews lower ($200–$1,000) for Nigeria-focused audiences and higher for those with strong Western viewership or premium niches (finance, tech).

BlueRayDick:
When you say monetization, does he do adverts?

What exactly is the monetization that gives an influencer enough money to love large without doing adverts?

FB, IG, YouTube and Tiktok pays creators.

E no gree carry e madness come Twitter else e for still dey chop Elon funds join.

TemporaryHansel:
Good question. Ask him why Trump didn't get Bill Maher arrested?

Sometimes I just can't wrap my head around the kind of stuff raumdeuter supports here.

When it comes to American affairs, the man becomes rational on the side of good governance and policies, but when it comes to naija matter he supports everything completely opposite of what is attainable in the US.

Doesn't he want Nigeria to progress or be like the place he lives? Maybe he's just catching cruise sha, because I don't want to believe he's really serious.

His name should be right beside the meaning of "Wicked Abroadian".

iamoyindamola:
How is he surviving and doing fine boy before

E dey cash out wetin no good from social media monetization sha

Sportsweb:
This dude called VDM made it look like he was different from other NGO and fundraiser but finally confessed he invested his NGO money for his personal use.

Understandable, though not sure how ethical this might be, especially given the people didn't give their monies to be invested in whatever it is he invested them in, and there's the possibility (however slight) that the money could be lost in the process of investing it.

Always been suspect of any kind of charity, na dawan first make me hate them Igbinedion for Benin. Your pikin don thief state money finish you go dey share money during your birthdays dey form charitable man.

Same reason I hated "Rice Man" that was contesting for governorship in Edo State, and even Tinubu and the lines of beggars he has at the front of his compound, not a fan of that either. God sees all.
