They are both from diffrent parts of the world bro. In Nigeria politicians will come to you for endorsement and you will bill them while cashing out handsomely ; it doesn't mean u are broke.

Okocha does punditry like his fellow ex-footballers in Europe which I believe he draws reasonable income from.

He obviously has multiple streams of income in his retirement and he's not saying no to any politician that decides to flash cash in his direction. If you are expecting him to say no to such offers, it only means u are moving away from the argument of him being an astute businessman to him placing morality above his income.

So basically any which way money can be made = astute businessman. Okay..

BlueRayDiick:
Really? So a superstar getting paid to advertise for a brand that most likely paid him hundreds of millions means he is not "boxed up"?

Even Ronaldo Lima who was at one point the highest paid player in the world did adverts after retirement.

Did Ronaldo start dabbling with politicians?

Emaprince:
That one concern you.

He is a hustler...and avderts doesnt in any way, portray him as lacking financially.

No be real Madrid players I dey see for sporty bet adverte? Unless that advert is fake and done qithout their notice. Still your arguement is flawed and heavily based on emotions.

Why are big football clubs allowing betting companies to sponsor them..and even having the sport bet comp name crested boldly on their jersies?

Na your emotion dey talk bros.

I hear you.

BlueRayDiick:
Good thing u said it is Ur opinion which makes it highly subjective and not necessarily factual. The number of people who die from alcohol/smoking related illnesses on an annual basis definitely far outnumber those who die from health complications that may arise from losing money to gambling.

Methinks u are mixing morality with a man trying to make more money by leveraging on his influence as a superstar

We'll agree to disagree. I just don't reckon with him as much any longer cos his actions reek of desperation to make money any which way, didn't even know about the yahaya bello one till today. Anyway, it's his problem.

samuelson06:
The problem with studying one thing and ending up doing a totally different thing is that you'll hardly move up the career ladder in your chosen career because you don't have a background there. Banks intentionally exploit this loophole so they can keep their staff in one tiny spot—doing so much and earning little. I wouldn't advise anyone go this route. It's always limiting because your employer will always use that weakness to exploit you.

This is SO not true. Ask the top bank MDs what they studied. Not just banks alone, even multinationals, ask the VPs what they studied and you will be shocked. With the exception of very few fields such as law, that statement is not accurate.

Amigoss:
Dey advertise for malaria medicine,lined up like an almajiri for Yahaya Bello failed presidential ambition disguised as reward for 94 ex-players, Rubbish!!!!!!

I didn't even know this, just checked it online. That simply confirms my suspicion that the guy is desperate for money and probably not as "boxed up" as most people think.

BlueRayDick:
Being frugal has nothing to do with making more money by taking advert/influencing sales for brands that approach him for endorsement na.

If his religious /personal beliefs doesn't prohibit gambling, I don't see any reason why he can't use his brand to advertise for bookies.

We have footballers who advertise for Alcoholic brands and cigarettes which can be argued to be as destructive as gambling. If nobody is having issues with those footballers promoting alcohol and cigarette then why should they have issues with gambling?

I wouldn't put gambling in the same category as cigarettes and alcohol, it's far more destructive in my opinion, I mean even India had to ban gambling. For me, it just shows a desperation / need for money which shouldn't be there if he truly had serious pepper.

BlueRayDick:
I doubt Boniface and his friend Osimehn can emulate the frugality credited to Okocha in his playing days and even now that he's retired.

Boniface and his friend seem to be about the social media life , gifting their "fans" at random, paying influencers and sponsoring trips of their influencer friends to stay relevant in the social media space, etc. Whether the aggregate of these social spendings will have a significant impact on their purse in the long run; only time will tell.

If he was so frugal, I wonder why he's had to resort to advertising for betting companies. He made his money from hard work and making use of his talents, but is promoting a destructive act like betting to the youths just for the monetary gains.

Nice thread. You are really adventurous - constantly trying new things. Kudos. All the best.

Japa has been an escaping roots since 1990's.

What's the noise about??

Roots indeed. Smh.

RIP sir,since when this the lost is fortune his life never remains the same,I remember some years back when I had an encounters with him in Iwo Rd Ibadan.He was so annoyed with me cuz I called him out to people he was in public bus going to Ife that night.He got angry and started abusing me but bcuz he is an elderly man I just maintain my steeze and walked away.

But why would you too call him out to people in a public bus, that's like trying to embarass him.
May his soul rest in peace.

Happy birthday to him. He should please stop promoting betting. He didn't succeed in life by betting, he used his God given talents and applied himself to hard work.

Say NO to betting!!

Say NO to betting!!

It destroys lives.

MemoriesAndMe:
I'm shocked too to see him apologize. Everyone says Hes a very proud individual. When he said some derogatory stuff to some clerics that came for his mother's burial and people asked him to apologize, he refused and outrightly said he will never apologize.

People also said he refused to apologize to Ooni of Ife after being rude to him.

Now this national shame gives him reasons to apologize.

He has seen that this one pass him

chris51:
The car must be on higher purchase which will take him some years to pay. People tell too much lies about how they live in developed countries. They want you to believe that all is rosy for them

They know the kind of people that will believe their lies hook line and sinker, people like helinues

helinues:
Blame your travelling agent. Better agents won't just help you to process your visa, they would also link you with job .

I have a friend who relocated to Canada like a year plus or 2 now, he was first on government payment for like 6 months before securing a job

One AI generated video about unemployment in UK. They asked the guy about the unemployment in the country, his response was the immigrants are taking our jobs, then the presenter asked him,

What qualifications do you have to secured a decent job

His response: The immigrants are taking that too

That was really very funny

So the agent could achieve all this and he didn't go himself. Kontinu with the c and bull stories.

Image123:
Good and fair from the minister. What sort of madness, especially from the pilot. The pilot should know the basics. Valujet wey no get value for human life. Even if it's a dog on the tarmac. It's not a bus park in Oshodi for God's sake.

Similar madness for a person to try and hold on to a plane to prevent it from flying! BOTH sides MUST be condemned.

Goke7:
This is good precedence and a warning to those who are not friends of the govt to behave o cos no amount of gas lighting will be enough if the hammer should fall on anyone in the opposition. Wasiu is a friend of the president and it’s easier to shout that he should be punished. Let’s be guided o!

He should be punished because his action is wrong. Simple. Can you people not leave out politics and address issues squarely for once? Haba.

Look at the very balanced response from Keyamo. Similar response from madridguy earlier today. The only person with a reprehensible response so far on this matter is none other but the entity below.

seunmsg:
There are always two sides to a story. It’s good we are now hearing K1’s side. I will like to know the identify of the pilot and her political persuasion. I won’t be surprised if she’s one the usual Obidient who are filed with hatred for successful APC supporters.

madridguy:
K1 should go and rest and respect his old age. At 68 years you're still fighting publicly. What you people cannot try in outside Nigeria, you will be doing it and tomorrow going around claiming elder statesman.

So you know how to speak the truth like this? Wow.

She attended International School University of Lagos for WAEC,set of 1996.
It was never a boarding school before, during and after my time. That school was the premier of schools back then.. comparable to A-Hal etc
This woman spills falsehoods to portray Nigeria in a bad light

You're right, she finished from ISL 96 set but she didn't start there - she joined in SS1 after attending the Sagamu boarding school JS1-3. I suspect she must have had some traumatic experiences at that school for her parents to have decided to change her school midway. She needs to see a therapist and heal, so Nigeria can rest from her mouth.

This is really commendable.

EponObi:
See the modesty in their dressing. You won't see them being nuisances on social media either, yet they access nd enjoy all the luxury life have to offer. Total peace of mind, zero scandal. They don't seek validation online like their pairs - DJ Cuppy, Davido, Kiddwayya, et al. What a flex!

You can see Dangote has been grooming them since childhood to take over his empire. That's how you build generational wealth. From his grandfather to him, now his children. If these children follow their dad's footsteps, their children too will become mogul.

It started from one person. Now generations after generations will swim in wealth, connection, and luxury. Generational LAPO babies. Ọmọ!

Which generational wealth have you built, or did your family build for you? Easy to come online and be castigating others like you do all day, show us yours!

Sore losers.

Op should just say anything you carry should also become invisible.

A version of Midas' touch.

We are all so proud of them!

Fashola is one governor that actually made a difference.

Hopefully they sort out their app and customer service too. They used to be one of the best, how they fell to this poor service level is still unbelievable.

This PSG team nawa

They are on fire no be small Real madrid's defense too no try, so very porous.

[color=royalblue]With all these killings in Benue, Raumdeuter has not called out Tinubu for once.

You have pointed to Heaven, earth, indigenes, governor, Satan, except Tinubu

Like 200 people killed in one day, and that's not enough reason for Benue people to ask of the President.

My braaada, I really hope say you get something wey you dey benefit from this government oh. That has to be the only explainable reason to me.[/color]

Na to dey blow grammar him sabi. Conscienceless humans. No empathy, it's all about their person getting/being in power, that is all that matters to people like that, human lives mean nothing to them until they find themselves at the other end one day.
