Food for Thought

[emmanuel ewumi]

Some people struggled with poverty, but once situation changes for the better they forget there past. They spend recklessly, lack discipline, prudence and the financial intelligence that is required if one wants to continue to be at the top. We have had case of people who made money during their prime age, but retired into penury.

Even if it is in Naira, it is not beans!

People steal such but when someone works for such, abeg doff your hat for such! I'm not speaking in favour of Waaaan5 but in favour of everyone who is a billionaire through sheer hardwork and not through corrupt means.

Bros, if he is who you discussed here, then he is not a billionaire! He may be hoping to be a billionaire like all of us.

Oga Emma, if not that you are an avid early morning tea consumer, i would have concluded that you took kparaga, akpeteshi etc this morning before coming onto SMN. .

You are seeing dollars sign ($$$) on Oga Waaaan$$$ name, you are still asking if he is a billionaire in dollars. For your information, the number of $ signs in oga Waaaan$$$ denotes what he is. So therefore, for Sir KOD post above which has three (3) $ signs, it means Waaaan$$$ is a Trillionaire in dollars and not even a billionaire in dollars.

Even if it is not in dollars but in kobo, is it easy!

Omo, check out the counting: N1m....N5m...N10m....N20m...N100m....N200m....N500 m....N900m....N998...N999m...N1b.

I never said he is a billionaire, but he should get there in less than 10 years time. I only quoted what he said.


When I meet Billionaires, I don't ask them for money or anything related to that, I ask them Questions just to tap into their MINDset because it is the essence of a man and the definition of each individual..

Bro, don't go too far! Let me help you here:

Emmm.... Oga Emma, assuming that it takes you one second to pronounce numbers(no matter how long it is), do you kno how long it will take you to count from one to one billion without jumping numbers.

Let's do a quick one:

If it takes one second( 1 sec) to pronounce any number while counting from one to one billion, it then means that you will spend X(in years) before you finish pronouncing the one billionth number-

X= 1,000,000,0000/(60 sec * 60 min *24hrs *365.25days)
X=31.68 years.

So much hardwork, isn't it???

So if someone makes N1b legitimately, abeg just ''throway salute''.

A networth of a Billionaire gives a sense of security, to average and hardworking people like us. To the politicians at Aso rock, a billion Naira is not enough to feed them for a year.

Less than 5%, if I am right.

Less than 10 years time???? Will he be selling Qua Iboe terminal?

In less than or equal to 10 years, he should hit around 300-500m with good investment.

Then take the inflated contract from them, and you will see them begging for food. Everyone can inflate contract and get their ''cut''. You don't even need to go to school to learn this!

But that average investor whose true worth is N1b has many ways he passed to get there and that can't just go away until he dies!

You need to give respect to such a person. That is why I have so much respect for my late mentor, he was able to build a networth of over 10 million dollars for himself via the stock market and later real estate. He retired way back in 1979 at the age of 37.

Definitely all of us can never be a Dangote, i don't think Nigerian economy can accommodate more than 20,000 Dangotes. Anybody who legitimately builds a networth of a billion Naira in Nigeria deserves our respect.

He joined in 1998, and has made very good investments in stocks, real estate and personal businesses.
