He says South Africa is so rich it could pay every citizen a million a year for life, seventy million each, so that no South African ever has to work again. Let the foreigners do the labour, like in Dubai, while South Africans rest and enjoy the wealth of their land. And all he is asking for is twelve months as president and he would turn South Africa around and make it 2nd most beautiful country on earth,
"'Olodo Uprising' is our First Lady telling us that the akara business is lucrative after distributing cars to other First Ladies. It's me still having to convince you to get your PVC. It's you thinking your voice doesn't matter and that your vote won't count. It's JAMB reducing the university cut-off mark from 150 out of 400. It's meaningless videos getting more visibility on our internet because we're more interested in being entertained than being educated."

@dammiedammie35 No one is saying akara, or kuli-kuli businesses aren't legitimate. The issue is that millions of Nigerians have degrees, skills, and ambitions beyond mere survival. Citizens aren't asking for handouts they're asking for an economy where hard work can lead to prosperity.
@dammiedammie35 Statements like this give the impression that the APC government has little ambition for the growth of its citizens. If this is what is being presented as hope, then many Nigerians will understandably feel that their aspirations are being reduced instead of supported.
Dear Iwobi, please return whoever's suit you borrowed. We promise not to ask questions. 😂😭 This suit looks like it signed you instead of you signing it. Who styled my guy? That blazer has enough room to register for next season. 😭🤣 #worldcup Ishowspeed Leroy Sane Peller
"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive att@ck on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidn@ppings and Bøko Haram att@cks."

You just made your first $1M. Your brain immediately jumps to the bigger house, the nicer car, that business idea you’ve been itching to execute.
Resist all of it, that instinct is exactly why most people who come into money are broke again within a few years.
The move nobody teaches you: do nothing.
Let it sit. Don’t deploy it, don’t try to flip it, don’t show it off. Park it somewhere safe that pays you while you think. Lock it into a 2–3 month yield-bearing instrument e.g T-bills, low-risk positions, safe and battle-tested protocols.
You’re not trying to get rich off it; you’re already there. You’re buying yourself time to think clearly and getting paid to do it.
Run the numbers. $1M at just 5% APR:
→ $50,000 a year → $4,167 a month → $137 a day
Every day you wake up, $137 landed in your account. You didn’t touch your principal. You didn’t lift a finger, and if that 5% compounds daily, you’re closer to $51,200 a year, the money starts making money on the money.
So before you spend a single dollar or naira, ask yourself one question: can this purchase pay for itself from the interest alone? If yes, you’ve earned it. If no, you’re eating your seed.
Anyone can GET money. Keeping it is a different skill entirely and it starts with the discipline to sit still while everyone expects you to splurge.
Sometimes parking it and letting it pay you is the best play ever. This is from experience, don’t joke with your once-in-a-lifetime SEED when it comes your way.
@Mrbankstips Iran is a security threat to the US. Like it or not, the US take their security seriously unlike Nigeria. The US has tried to even allow them enter and play.
