@carter6f I find this interesting. Apparently he was 18 in 2005. So roughly around that period he made ₦250 million repairing mobile phones. For context, the average exchange rate that year was about ₦131/$1, making that roughly $1.9 million. That’s certainly… an interesting story.
@NigeriaStories A 16-year-old cannot be a Chartered Accountant in Nigeria. Passing ICAN exams alone does not make an individual a Chartered Accountant.
@cynugwudike Isn’t NYSC only required if you presented a university degree (or it’s equivalent)? Seeing as you haven’t been to university, your employer wouldn’t request for NYSC no?
@iamytemoni@eterisan_H@OtunbaBrickz Yes, crazy corruption exists . But Lagos alone can’t fund a ₦10tn project, it simply can’t afford it right now.
And the ₦210tn claim doesn’t stand up to basic scrutiny using Nigeria’s production levels and oil prices. A little research beats sensational headlines.
@eterisan_H@OtunbaBrickz Very uncouth! The flood defense infrastructure in the Netherlands cost upward of $7 billion (9.6 trillion naira) , so the question of funding is a very valid one. He thinks Lagos state just casually has 10 trillion lying about or can just walk into AFC and demand a 10t. Cheque.
@Officially_Kriz It’s interesting that you qualified as an accountant without a university degree, but now you’re advocating for restricting that same pathway.
The young man handling this camera, Pelumi Onifade was later hunted and killed, for heroicly capturing this moment. These are the legacies of Nigeria at 64.
Do not forgive, do not forget #EndSARS
@ChuksEricE Ycee was definitely right, there really is an Olodo uprising. And it has nothing to do with whether or not someone has a university degree. It’s about the ability to contribute and create a meaningful, positive lasting impact on society.
