Larry Page and Sergey Brin(Not brothers though), Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have an appearance of simplicity that stem from from their NATURE- they are techies/nerds. They will always appear 'simple' no matter how rich or poor they are. You should do a search of these people and see the kind of inanities' that these 'simple dressers' spend their money on. People derive their pleasures differently. My overall point is that we should not attack people who derive their own pleasures from 'dressing extravagantly' because a microscopic number of billionaires have decided to do otherwise; it has been the trend for the past few days and Nigerian celebrities are taking the most flak. I don't know much about Kate Middleton and I know that the Windsor family are not a billionaire family; they are millionaires at best. Dangote is always either on suit or that Hausa kind of dressing and there is nothing simple about any of that. You want make him wear chain?

That's what I like to point out. People saying Mark Zuckerberg is humble because he dresses simple is sounding like a broken record. Bill Gates for instance has art works worth 100s millions of dollars. Yet dem go curse our Nigerian big men because them buy range rover sport say dem dey show off.

We should learn not to treat people the way they dress. A poor man might dress rich to impress while a rich man might dress modest.

Well whatever be the impending nemesis it sure gonna consume them all. They plotted,perfected & hatched the plot.Now that mission have been accomplished,Miss Hadiza was holed up @ NPA,others have had their share but Madam Oby was not deemed fit to partake of the spoil as she was 5%ter.Then Oby suddenly became the sorry cry-cry baby.Take a hankie token from me madam.

It's interesting that no one sends her. Not even the lying liars or the zombies or the average Nigerian and definitely not the wailing wailers. Hahaha. Have you 4gotten that she was the one who christined us with that name. Make she go siddon. No position for her.

It's rich people like this pastor that make the average person to compare Nigerian big men with Mark Zuckerberg.

Should we be surprise ?

Newnas:
Do you mean that school built on a land snatched from poor village farmers?

Wickedness in the name of religion! You extort tithes from poor people, unjustifiably acquire land, build a school that 90percent of your congregation can't afford!

I don't think you can snatch land from farmers like that. May be they were settled. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Amaechi take people for fools. I don't blame him. Afterall, people will still be zombies.

daveP:
Somebody tell this man to just shut the hell up I one kind of way.

my nose and ears could scent the hypocrisy in his statements.


Funny enough, Lagos also has oil.


I'm not saying ND is more important, but he should stop that hypocritus lyricus that he's singing out.


as of his pockets don't smell of fuel cash, legal or illegal!!!!!

He's irresponsible. Such statements are careless and divisive. Lagos is very industralized. But as far as Nigeria depends on oil, you can't do without Niger Delta.
People like the Emir are also part of the problem.

Tuktuk:
All the UN is doing is further worsening our situation by dolling out this gloomy reports on Nigeria, so that intending foreign investors will loose the remaining confidence in Nigeria. Enough of this already. as if we don't know. come up with constructive criticism of this administration and ways Nigeria will get its economy out of recession SIMPLE!!!

When they came up with constructive criticism, people were shouting, "leave us alone." But the truth is that many zombies don't know that the economy is in recession.

mrkayusfit:
It's a fat lie. Venezuelans and other terrible countries are poorer. Leave Nigeria alone. Buhari is doing a good job. We do not miss GEJ

You choose not to see the obvious. When they attacked Gej's admin, you rejoiced. But when they begin to tell you the flaws of this administration, you begin to feel bitter.
You can nevet make progress is you keep lying to yourself.

Wickedness.... . Marriage is not easy oh.

FastShipping:
It seems Obasanjo 3rd term wouldn't be bad idea at this point.

I was a staunch supporter of Buhari. Looking back now, it was the wrong thing to do. Buhari came in with no economic plan whatsoever. Where are the so called shovel ready Jobs promised by Osinbajo?

Well, Buhari wouldn't be there today if Jonathan had done well.

I agree with you. There are people who would prefer to remain zombies. GEJ didn't handle the affairs of this nation firmly. He gave a bad impression about his government. I believe he should have fired Deziani or caged her. He should have gone ahead to take certain bold steps even though the opposition didn't see reason to it. For instance removal of subsidy.
He should have done more for Niger Delta as a whole instead of empowering just a few individuals. But Buhari is yet to prove he's better. No economic plan at all like you said. Imagine a president having 4 media advisers and yet there's no economic team. . This is foolishness.

critique2:
It is a normal, militias are known for that. Infact they do and are already in the military. The DSS are either confused or utterly stupid, they've gathered the intelligence and need work on it,this very type of information does not need public knowledge. They simply work with it. Letting the public know of it is useless, it is neither a safety measure to the public nor an appraisal tool for them. The scoundrels they are after will know these leak-outs and probably source for the saboteurs amongst them,they pose as the public too.

The DSS now talks like Lai Mohammed

dionma:
One thing that irks me about the PDP is their tendency to mix religion and politics. It is a combustike mixture. There is no where it is stated that a religiius person automatically makes a good leader. More often, the show of religious fervou by politicians is a cover for faliure.

What is Pdp again ? Didn't Kumuyi hold crusades in Apc states too ? Was Aregbesola not also present in a crusade in his state ?

ujuvals:
I really want to scream but ofcourse everyone seems to be in the same situation,who will console the other.The economic situation of Nigeria at the moment is really pitiable.We as the citizens have been holding on and managing,praying it gets better but it only seem to get worse.I am writing because I have come to realize that some sectors are abusing this untold hardship in the country and using it as an avenue to greatly enrich themselves.In as much as we understand that there are no jobs in Nigeria,many unemployed yet qualified graduates are roaming the street,the few ones working now are been taken for granted,used and given peanuts at the end of the day with reason been that the company cannot afford a good pay due to the economic situation.I am trying to understand how this fits in to some people.There are companies that are making massive profits despite this economic recession yet they are still slashing salaries,I can't help but to ask where does the profit realised at the end of the day go to?A typical example is Zenith bank which we read slashed workers salaries,to be realistic if a bank as big as zenith can slash despite its massive profit margin wat will the other small companies that barely make enough pay their staffers.I want to share an experience I had few days ago,I went for an interview and after that,I was called to say I did averagely ok but they would want me to work in a bigger position as the Head of Administration.I was delighted,we talked at length and I was told my work days were Mondays to saturday,with 8-7pm work time for a salary if 25,000naira.I am a graduate,I don't seem to understand why the pay has to be so poor,thereby making the job seem like slavery.I want to give my best,I want to add value,I want to be supportive to this firm but I am not motivated by the pay.I can't be working yet be hungry,worse still as head of admin for 25,000.Please Employers I want to appeal to you all to have a conscience.Its very unfair to want someone to do so much yet get paid with little or nothing.The Economy is bad at the moment which we all know but don't use that as a yardstick to frustrate your workers because we also buy things from the market and function too.I also want to plead with the present Administration to please comeup with ways to help the Nigerian Youths.Many of us are willing to work but no jobs,while we also want to be self employed yet still no capital to start even at the smallest level.To all those Employers of labour still treating their staffers nice,I want to commend you and pray that you won't have any reason to fold up.Thank you.Please pardon any grammatical error,I am open to correction.

So frustrating. That's a one man's business that's why. Most businesses are like that. It's so sad that they want to pay you something horrible. It's demoralising.
May be you should go for teaching.

Whizzdom:
OP, nice write up, it is very educative.

Gambling is not even meant for anybody whether rich or poor. Gambling remits the spirit of uncontendment into the life of people, you always want more, more money, which in the end will make that person poor and confused.

I used to wonder whenever I pass a place where people bet and saw youths gambling their money away, what I wonder about is; How can you predict a match that as never happened? when you are not God. It is like predicting the future, when you dont even know what wil happen to you as at that moment.

God will deliver us from greed.

All things are lawful but not all things are expedient. Gambling is not a cool but thst doesn't make it evil.

Abagworo:
Obama and Kerry know Buhari more than this useless man. It seems PDP is hoping on a Trump win which is almost impossible. I have met many praying Trump wins so that Nigeria's relationship with US will have a set back and Trump will help them get back o power..

Trump winning or not makes no difference. I don't even like him. But we, Nigerians should be open minded. How can you call this man useless when he's speaking facts ?
Didn't Buhari massacre over 300 people and bury them ?
Did he not order police to shoot armless protesters ?
Are there no corrupt former Pdp members in his party that he has shielded ?

You're just no truthful.

GoldenJAT:
i just found out d new meaning of illiteracy 2day!!!so nigerians can be this stupid?im dumbfounded 2 say d least...y av we allowed our reasoning 2 toll the line of tribal,ethnic and political affiliation?
1 very useless U.S senator writes an open letter that depicts our president in d wrong light,and people are here applauding him.has he ever stepped his foots in2 nigeria?did Buhari bar any1 from assembling and has d freedom of speech been taking from any1 here?which inclusion is he talking abou!is there any tribe,from the d 3 major tribes that is not ably represented in this government?which extra judicial killings is he talking about?the shiites saga?they looked 4 trouble and u expect d military 2b lenient,even with a very tensed atmosphere!OYIBO ARMY GO TAKE AM?what is his business with nigeria corruption war?those picked up and interrogated,were they corrupt or not?all we know is that,there must always be a scape goat!when anoda party comes on board,they should probe d present APC MEMBERS.until then we av known some few pple dt ate our national cake.
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!where do they even originate from?i av been opportuned 2 lead people at so many times in point,and 1 thing i learned was that....NOT EVERYONE WOULD BE PLEASED WITH YOU,AND OR AGREE WITH YOUR POLICIES,U ARE ALWAYS BOUND 2 USE UR DISCRETION IN MANY CASES.failure 2do so means that...u always will be tossed around,and hold little or no influence ova d pple u r leading..u will feel comfortable WORKING with a particular set of people than others...its a choice.
in summary...BUHARI IS NO SAINT..BUT HE DEFINITELY AINT THE WORST.we are a sovereign state,and if the USA...should feel that been a super power will mean NIGERIA BEEN ITS TOY..then they are wrong.We have a president that cant be influenced..Why do they fear MUGABE?

Be truthful to yourself. When this same USA refused to sell weapons to Gej, did you not rejoice ?
When AI accused last administration of human rights abuse, did you not hail AI ? God dey catch una one by one.

greatgolis90:
. Calling a US senator who have honestly portrayed the real Nigerian situation an ignoramus, shows how stupid, nepotic, clandestine, brainwashed n a slave U are, who erroneously thinks the demi-god demagogue (pmb) must not n should not b publicly scrutinize n made 2 b held accountable 4 all his actions or inactions. For Ure information, Nigerian's across board are beginning to realised d absurdity, conspiracy n hypocrisy of some highly placed northern Muslims who from d creation of d Nigerian state feels are highly superior n powerful n as such all d rest kafir should just b continually subjected 2 dia dictatorship. But I bet U n Ure likes, if pmb remain dis barbaric n insensitive, He'll either b ousted, impeached or inevitably voted out come '19. Who has so far being prosecuted for d corruption case, particularly d dasuki gate? Is Nigeria as a sovereign state not ripe 2 start manufacture its military soft n hardware 4 its domestic use? If eventually turn 2 china n Russia 2 acquire, who will b tested on? Obama need not heed 2 d letter, buh dat doesn't make d content false or d fact dat d world is aware of his dictatorial tendencies or approach. In fact, corruption fighting is his constitutional role using state institutions vested wif such powers, therefore corruption fighting is no in any where synonymous with good governance, where the fundamental objective of d government is to provide security n welfare 4 all its citizenry. #opiumof#themasses

Na real autocracy. The witch hunting has become way too obvious. They seem to have so many misplaced priorities. How can you be faced with a failing economy and still be going after dog owners. You turn a blind eye to the corrupt people in your own camp but you have time to go after others. Bad omen!

siraj1402:
*DON'T LISTEN TO THEM...*
MTN came to Nigeria at a time when nobody wanted to invest in Nigeria, at a time when Nigerians did not have phones. Even Zenith Bank refused to loan MTN cash to operate,UBA rejected MTN's offer but today see the difference. What about Cowbell? When they came to Nigeria, they made milk in a sachet, Peak was laughing at them - they said Cowbell was milk for the poor - but they were right! 3-million poor people could afford N10 a day for a sachet of milk. Oya, do the math - 3 million people buying milk at N10.00- that was N30million every single day. In a month they grossed N900million (almost N1billion). Even Peak had to make sachet milk in order to survive in the market. So what have people told you? What have they said you cannot do, or you do not qualify for, or you do not have experience for? They told Cowbell, they told MTN, but today the story has changed. I have a feeling something is changing for you today! They will change their strategies just to keep in step with you. Don't listen to what people are saying or what life is showing you. YES, YOU CAN. Success is not about where you graduated from, or what grade you graduated with, but what graduates out of you. Keep the spirit UP...YES U CAN welcome to the first EMBER month.Man of god, welcome if I may say.

Even though your comments doesn't relate yo the post, they were inspiring all the same.

Let us all blame Gej...

Adonis3:
during the last general elections

I told my friends I won't say GEJ didn't fu¢k up


Sure, he has his own shortcomings


I only believe Buhari ain't a better option (my opinion)




But the problem with most of em was that they believed Buhari was the long prophesied messiah



They believed the moment he takes control, Nigeria will instantly become USA



Smh!



I can only say I'm happy (to an extent) that buhari won



Because they would have been shouting and ranting how we didn't give him a chance to change Nigeria like the magician that he is




#Adonis3HasSpoken

I dey tell you. Just imagine Gej was in power and Naira becomes 300 to a dollar, there would have been a civil war.

Everybody needs a time out.

The Busiest man in the World, the President of the United States just got back from his vacation last week after resting for almost 2 weeks.

Tinubu is a party leader,not a political office holder,so I am curious why his absence from the public would make the nosy people think of his health first.

Make una no carry una bad Belle kill Tinubu abeg.

The nosy people are from his party
