Business / How I Almowt Bought Chevron Netherland At 29 - Paddy Adenuga by Xavier9ja(m): 10:38am On Jan 31, 2018
It was October 2013, two years had passed since I had left the family business in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to London, England to start my own oil trading company. My time in the family business, as a director in the telecoms division and upstream oil & gas company was challenging to say the least but engaging and ultimately rewarding. However, I have never felt comfortable with sitting back and getting a golden pass through life. Whilst the easy thing to do was to be a “good boy and good son” and enjoy all the luxuries of being in a family business – I decided that striking it out on my own once again was the best course of action. I’ve always loved the oil & gas business, like many other Nigerians. However, what I love about the business, particularly the exploration and production (upstream) side, was the mixture of strategy, operational capability, technical know-how, politics and business acumen which all had to be married with a gambling spirit and sheer luck to be successful. In my decision to move to London, I decided I would only be in the oil & gas business as long as it didn’t pose a direct conflict to the family’s interests. There is striking it out on your own and then there is just being plain foolish. Luckily for me, I had stopped being foolish by then. The modus operandi of my oil trading business was simple. I kept an office in Lagos with a small team of five to run operations and logistics. I converted one of the bedrooms in my townhouse in London into a study. My team in Lagos under my guidance would get oil trading contracts and I, sitting in London, would either market these contracts to the global oil trading houses to execute in Nigeria on a joint venture (JV) basis or in some instances, I would find the capital to execute the contract from end to end. This formula proved effective and it was good enough to pay my bills and afford me an above modest lifestyle. One of the traits I took from my parents is that I am highly ambitious and find it hard to sit still. There always has to be a new conquest, a new mountain to climb, or, as is the case most times, a new business to go after. Oil trading was my day job but was never exciting to me except for when I got paid. After days and weeks in London plotting my next move, I came up with an idea and a plan. In the world of upstream oil & gas, especially in Africa, companies that were operators, actively producing oil & gas in commercial quantities that wanted to invest or participate in the oil business were the darlings of the industry. They were like the prettiest girl in high school and every guy wanted her to come to the prom with him.

Martial, Rashford & Sanchez plays same wing. United need more strength were Mata plays instead. It's a stupid buy

lingard can also play same wing as mata. So I don't think its a stupid buy.

I noticed this love lots of man united fans have for martial. Is it that you guys don't like rashford or what? I expected you to have said alexis and rashford on both flanks grin grin
martial have got pace, vision, tricks and 90% dribble accuracy. Rashford at the other end is the show boy, he can dribble everybody on the pitch but his finish are not clinical. Rashford need to work more on learning when to score and when to pass the ball.

You've a golden heart provided your intention was to help and not to destroy someone's else's source of income. If you want to help, one click is enough and also, try and spend more time by reading the contents.

If you visit a blog this minute, click an ad and then bounce out, you're doing the webmaster a lot of harm.

Good luck!
tnx man. I do read some content though. I spend at least 5minute on each blog

Zanas:
Lingard is better than Messi and Ronaldo combined and Lukaku is definitely better than Morata. That's the fact, It's not a lie!!
Sir Alex in 2012: “Jesse Lingard is going to
be some player. He is 19, came through our
youth system & is built like Jean Tigana was
for France but he never got into the
limelight there until he was about 24 & I
think that will be the same with Lingard.”

Culture / Re: Nigerians Are Hungry Because They Are Lazy – Sultan by Xavier9ja(m): 7:02am On Apr 17, 2017
The sultan is saying the bitter truth. Nigerians keep blaming the government for all their misfortune. I personally have an uncle who is lazy, he does not have any form of formal education, he don't pay tax in any form but he is good at sitting at home listening to radio and blaming the government. He'll always say " they are using OUR money to buy car". I'll just look at him and say "oga u dey pay tax" ( but na inside my mind I dey talk am sha). We should blame the government 20% and use 80% of our time to work hard and be innovative

Religion / Re: Pastors And Controversies...kumuyi's Example by Xavier9ja(m): 1:34pm On Apr 02, 2017
Am sorry to say this but kumuyi is the only preacher I admire, cherish and respect in the whole universe. I don't attend deeper life but this man teaches the real word of God, he preaches the bible from cover to cover, he is humble and he would have lived a flambouyant lifestyle if he wanted to but cos of his understanding of the word of God he is living a simple life which has made him excel spiritually. I am a sinner and I pray for Gods grace to turn away from my bad ways and I hope to have an encounter with papa kumuyi someday.

Politics / Re: Top 5 Largest States In Nigeria By Land Mass by Xavier9ja(m): 6:56am On Mar 20, 2017
These states are blessed with large land mass but the question is what has been the positive output to the dwindling economy of this country? Because as far as I can remember lagos is the state with the smallest land mass in nigeria but they are generating high revenue. The NIGER-DELTA with their small land mass is the countries source of wealth. Why are these northern areas with large land mass not used for agriculture and RANCHES to boost the economy of the nation?
