Asians, Arabs, North n South Americans were equally colonized like Africans. But today they are centuries ahead. Thanks to selfless, visionary, nationalist leaders. In Africa we wake up everyday and blame colonialism for our failures. While our highly corrupt leaders r heroes!
Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job.
At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO.
He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air.
He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death.
His first child died at 10 weeks old.
His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad.
His second rocket exploded.
His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone.
Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown.
Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve.
He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him.
His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress.
The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world.
He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse.
He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs.
He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him.
He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years.
He is the richest man in the history of the world.
The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.
I completely agree it’s an achievement and a great one at that.
But saying that cus u have higher degrees automatically means you are smarter in life than people who don’t have it is being delusional. And that’s my point.
And it’s mostly women that rate wealthy illiterates men.
Again she may be smart but IQ alone doesn’t define or determine intelligence.
Ten years ago, Elon Musk and Jack Ma both looked like avatars of the future.
Musk was building electric cars, rockets, satellites, and AI. Jack Ma was building Alibaba, the crown jewel of China’s internet economy.
Fast forward a decade: Musk is worth $1.1 trillion.
Jack Ma was forced into silence, Ant Group’s IPO was crushed, Alibaba lost its aura(its stock plunged by more than 60% since 2020), and China’s tech sector went from world-beating to politically domesticated.
One entrepreneur was allowed to compound.
The other was reminded who really owns the scoreboard.
This is not just a story about two billionaires.
It is a story about two systems. One system lets madmen build rockets to Mars.
The other cuts down its most successful entrepreneur for flying too close to the sun.
That is why Musk became the world’s first trillionaire.
And Jack Ma became a warning label.
@talk2veee Absolutely. It has nothing to do with age. U can “date” for years and the only thing you know about this person his is best food and colour. ☹️☹️
If you’re in a relationship, you’re in a relationship!
Which one is “serious relationship“?
Is there something I’m not understanding?
You don’t trust the person? QUIT!
You don’t see any future with the person? QUIT!
Being in more than one relationship makes you a WH0R£!
@talk2veee So some people actually do this 50/50 madness for real? Like how is this even practicable? Do they earn the same salary?
Cus if u earn more than your wife, which is usually the case, how would you split bills 50/50.
Marrying young does not equate to rushing into marriage. Marrying late does not equate to taking your time.
You can be old and desperate.
If a 21 year old takes 2 years dating somebody and has cohabited with the person for about 6 months in those 2 years and decides that they are compatible enough for forever, they did not rush into the marriage. That took 2 years.
If a 33 year old lady meets a guy interested in her and tells him to make his plans clear because she wants to marry within 6 months, she is rushing into marriage. Being 33 does not mean she took her time. If a 36 year old guy meets a lady and tells her he wants to marry her within the next 3 months, he is rushing into marriage. There is nothing like he knows what he wants. That is desperation.
The concept of rushing into marriage is about due diligence on the person and the relationship before making marital commitment. It has nothing to do with how old you are. From observation, older people are the ones who seem to rush into marriage.
The average Nigerian politician sees Peter Obi as a direct threat to their source of livelihood. It unsettles them that a man who has conquered greed could step into the arena. Their greatest shock is discovering they cannot dig up dirt on him. That failure is a major blow to their playbook. Hence, the relentless campaign of calumny against him.
@Miss_Oluremi Women don’t need homes?
They don’t boast about marrying an odogwu and spending his money? Even if they have the money!
But then a woman can only manage her own finances not her man’s.
Men don’t come with a seal on their dicks to know virgin or not… women do and whoring around makes bonding more difficult for women. This is the basis of failed relationships.
Moreover women set stupid standards like being rich, taller than them, more intelligent etc even though they are usually shorter and dumber.
Nigeria is the only place where a politician can fail spectacularly and still have supporters explaining why the failure is actually a success.
Such idiocy must end in 2027.

Some of your bosses schooled in the village or they grew up from poor homes.
Some, didn't even visit Lagos or any big city until they graduated.
But they're your bosses and they pay you salaries or wages.
You can make it in life without being a thief.
I am advising you as a man that has never stolen or done anything illegitimate to feed his family.
Tow the path of legitimacy.
You'll be as proud and courageous as I am.
Wuruwuru life will not help you.
You'll only bring misery upon yourself and your innocent children.
If you cannot teach your children to steal, then you should not be doing it.
Quick money is quick death.
End.
@Mahiixz Cus I can easily point to accounts on X of female selling their bodies. But you can’t do same for men buying.
If women stopped selling, those men wld still be anonymous.
