Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises
“Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong”
“I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it”
“I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”
Black men talking like this is dangerous for a lot of people whose whole business model is built off exploiting Black athletes.
He needs to be building a movement amongst the players.
I posted on WhatsApp looking for young boys aged 19 to 22. I trained them, and in less than a year they became Graphics, Web, and Cloud engineers.
A few weeks ago, I trained an elderly person while watching Masoyinbo by @LekanFabilola how to easily use ai to create websites and Web apps and we both ended up creating a Yoruba Calculator as an example https://t.co/1uJ10D1RUQ as I noticed she was struggling with the numbers the presenter was saying. I have made it open source so people can add more features https://t.co/l8PTGuOOfK like voice pronunciation for example.
My point is, Nigerians learn very fast even with a shaky foundation or no knowledge at all.
They are willing to learn.
Samsung actually does a lot more than people think.
iPhone users don't even know they can't do without Samsung. Lol.
- Samsung makes the OLED screens inside your iPhone 🫵🏼. They also make RAMs and processors for different brands.
- Samsung built the Burj Khalifa, Taipei 101, and the Petronas Towers.
- Samsung owns JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel.
- Samsung builds ships such as oil tankers and container ships, at massive scale.
- Samsung makes EV batteries that power cars from various brands. So, if you own an electric car, there's likely a touch of Samsung in it.
- Samsung is making Tesla's next-gen AI6 chips in a billion-dollar deal.
- Samsung runs life insurance and a brokerage firm in South Korea.
- Samsung owns and runs an amusement park called Everland, South Korea's largest theme park.
- Samsung is building the first Korean-built nuclear power plants outside Korea, in the UAE.
And guess what?
Samsung started in 1938 as a noodle and grocery shop.
This plant is called the “petroleum plant”
Its seeds can be processed to produce high quality biodiesel fuel that can be used in diesel engines.
The plant is banned in most countries.
Equatorial Guinea's Government Shuffle: Beyond Western Media Headline
If you stumbled across recent western media coverage of a cabinet reshuffle in Equatorial Guinea and you did not read past the headline, you would have come away with a completely different impression of what actually happened.
@Big_Mck explores the disingenuous semantic game that was deployed here, and why Africans must as a matter of survival, always treat western media with extreme caution and suspicion.
Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.
Corruption by African leaders or Sabotage by the West, which is the primary hindrance to Africa’s development?
Here you have your answer.
WATCH and SHARE to educate others.
The Ponzi scheme has finally come to bear. His billionaire friends who invested before IPO are quietly cashing out. The top of pyramid is cashing out, that’s what’s happening. Of course they all know Space X is never going to deliver on its impossible promises. Before the new deadline of 2028, the fabricated trillionaire will make more impossible promises to hustle more money off his gullible fans.
All the scams that has happened in Nigeria in the last 10 years isn’t up to $3.7 BILLION.
Stop thinking Nigerians lose VISA access because of issues like fraud or terrible press, the biggest reason is because we have a very low negotiating power as a country and our leaders are not doing their job.
IMF and World Bank-Backed Reforms Have Spiked Nigeria's Meat Prices
The latest spike in Nigerian meat and egg prices can be traced to the United States using financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to sabotage the Giant of Africa. With Nigerian children now facing growth stunts and developmental delays, how can Nigeria’s economy ever power through to lead Africa’s growth in the 21st century?

This is how marriage should be.
"The concept of the man has to provide everything is flawed, provision doesn't come from man".
Like @Wizarab10 said "Marriage is a merger, not an acquisition, thus your financial status is irrelevant".
