Corrinthians:
Now, take a census of the tribe of those who'd comment on this thread, you'd see Yorubas would hardly bother about it, and that is because IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

Let a similar situation occur somewhere in Yorubaland and you'd see these people who tend to always know more about Yoruba business, THAN YORUBAS THEMSELVES, flood the thread with their nauseating bile.

It's a shame how they've made Lagos state their PRIMARY occupation in life, and Ambode whom they hated with so much passion, their newly adopted god.

Sucks to be them.

what is this one saying again?

Constantiney:
Shut up.
The 'dignity of office' as per your definition, was created by who? The old folks of course, since its time for a young president, its time for a new definition of 'dignity' of office which according to what I'm seeing, is humbleness.

Both governorship aspirants in Oyo state's major parties are youth, gradually the youths are taking over.
Deal with it.

exactly

I gotta say, I like how you think

sacajawea:
But some of those houses are ridiculously overpriced. Check forbes
A house of less than 500k in the US has better Quality and structure than that of 5,10M dollars in some places in Naija

that is precisely my point.

Overpriced junk

Nigeria has mediocrity in its blood.

At least with the billions of dollars in Nigeria, at least we should have elite areas the standard of Bel-Air, Calabasas The Hills, Hyde park or those elite parts of Miami Dade in Nigeria


but look ar the junk they have as elite places

Places wey flood wan finish, smelling canal and blocked drainage

no central water or even electric system


Yeye $hithole

Sap0:
yet u spend valuable time defending tinubu, buhari and Apc

don't mind that goat

amaniro:
Nigerians and inferior thinking. Why can't you just spend your holiday in a tourist site in Nigeria like calabar? but no you went to CAR

what is this one saying?

9ja083:
Nigeria is only good for the rich. If you are rich in Nigeria, you only travel out of the country for relaxation or holidays.
If you doubt it ask our politicians.
They make their money and convert their street and apartment into the America you see on TV.

is it the mediocre places you think are "posh" areas in Nigeria you want to compare with elsewhere?

Compare the highbrow areas of Nigeria with highbrow areas elsewhere and you would know that Nigeria is still a joke for the rich

Rilwayne001:
I've never traveled out of the country, but I'm sure most people on this thread saying rubbish about this country are cankerworm. Fair enough, the country isn't doing well, but the exaggeration by these folks is obnoxious. Besides, I don't ever think there can be anywhere that can be better than home. As terrible as the country is, it is our home.

Nigeria is a big joke

A trip abroad will convince you

You people should continue shouting sai baba

LarryBee1k:
Nigeria will reach there one day.

which day?

Yankee101:
You are worth less than $1million dollars and you're boasting? What's your name again? Bush local 'celebrities'

having a net worth of just under $1m in Africa is a big deal

Don't compare the standards of the west to Africa

LyfeJennings:
How many videos does she costume?
How much does she charge for a video?
Remember, she is even first 10 when it' comes customing.
That babe just loud
She no reach...
Fam, I work in a bank
300m is ALOT
E PLENTY DIE
except U be dem G-boy like dem Baggie, self paid, Abolo and few others or u in government
Even at that e plenty die

did it occur to you that 300 m net worth is different from 300m cash?

Assets bought over the years must have appreciated in value


A land my old man bought for N500k decades ago for example is now worth millions today

can't my old man incorporate that into his networth?

I'm just opening your mind to the possibilities

Remii:
why not check her tiannah place at fola osibo st lekki phase I or her website for you to see whether she makes money or not,

abi

at this stage of my life, I try to give everyone benefit of doubt.....


not every big girl in Lagos has connections with runz

why are all the guys harassing her here
Do you guys know something I don't? ?

see crowd on this thread

Olodo24:
Nigerian women age so fast. None of the listed women can compete with the likes of Halle Berry, Angela Basett, etc

you never can tell

those women may have undergone "reconstruction"

so you can t use them to judge

kokomaster3d:
Women can get old quick sha. At 50 many men still look attractive and strong. I think the ideal age different for couples should be at least 10 years otherwise the wife will end up looking way older than the man. There are some exception though.

not always applicable

Igboeze90:
Well, it's okay to choose to differ.

However, I must admit I came out a little too harsh on those lines. That said, you need to understand that having prejudiced views of a person based on his tribe alone is HATE...

And all forms of hate - bitterness, acrimony, resentment and cynicism - spring from casting blames.

I only wanted to lead him away from that path...

Blames devalue a man. I'm not winning because you are losing; you are not winning because I'm losing. The sun rises for everyone in the East and sets for everyone in the West. Only some are born on hilltops, others in tunnels...

It's no one's fault. TIME and CHANCE happens.

you got that right tho


he is being biased against dangote

that's how I see it

Hisxellency:
Nobody!!! You can't dictate to your fellow Igbo man, You r boss on your own in Igbo land

exactly


as long as you can feed yourself...


I bu Eze nke gi

BiafranBushBoy:
That is what makes a people unique.

We don't need people to help us reason, we do it ourselves...

Unlike some assholes who believe Tinubu and the late Adebiu in Ibadan was their Lord and Saviour.

After the death of Adebiu, you can see how Ibadan has developed...

Still waiting for Lagos

no mind all these people

murphyibiam15:
what makes a tribesman first class or second class??
those who carry ipob on the head?

that guy does not have sense.....
a lot of people just have pre conceived notions about Igbos

ezenwajosh:
It is impossible in south east.....because we have minds of our own....reason is because most of our population are independent of government money.....so one man can't just buy the population and tell them who to vote

true

Benekruku:
Disunited sets of lost


An Ebonyi or Imo man can never take the lead as they are 3rd Class and Second Class Igbos


Definitely going to be coming from Abia or Anambra

what is this one saying?

danelson007:
that is why you fail exams. simple question you started ranting like a conductor fighting with passengers and at the end made no sense at all. why do you always think the igbos hate the Yoruba? we want to govern ourselves and take responsibility of whatever happen to us. we don't need any jagagban with a dirty brown teeth to destroy our future. we are republican in nature and not ass lockers. you think all these grammar you are blowing our of proportion will help u make sense. oluku

no mind them

we Igbos don't roll that way
it's hard to replicate the type of thing Tinubu did in the SW in the SE

globemoney:
The igbo elite in Lagos want Ambode out

And you know this how?

dwas:
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

exactly

sorry for your losses

CoolAmbience:
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.

a virtual encounter with him changed my own life too and my perception of it

And I like his sense of humor too, as he took no offense whatsoever , or carried the airs of the average insecure big man in Nigeria

And by the grace of God, I'm keying into his vision, and you should too

franchasng:
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

now I understand your perspective


But still, the poor and disenfranchise can still look up to them, and see them as a bench Mark for which they can achieve and even surpass


But then, a lot of dreams in our home land (land of the rising sun) and even in Lagos, is the PhD syndrome prevalent in Nigeria


lots of youths are putting the effort, but the black man factor (whether its jealous relatives, wicked lecturers or wicked bosses) are just out there killing dreams

But one must not give up

Igboeze90:
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.

naa

I don't think he is bitter

franchasng:
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

you know of dangote shenanigans

I know he is no saint (his shenanigans during his NSE days was not cool, but I bet you don't know about it) But accisibf dangote of ruining ibeto is ludicrous, and saying there in nothing special about him is equally laughable


considering the environment he finds himself, he has tried

franchasng:
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

so managing money that was given to you in the 70s well and paying back and expanding upon it over the decades is not special?

tell me something

you know how many Nigerians have been given seed money and wasted it?

I know boys who squandered what was given to them at onitsha, so forget that story

CoolAmbience:
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...??

no mind that guy
