I worked with a super millionaire in Dolphin Estate. He travelled out of the country and kept about 1.5m cash with me to be disbursing to people he wanted to help. At that time in was struggling to pay for my son's WAEC registration. I sent an email requesting for a loan of 10k from my boss. He turned me down straightaway. I vex, and I took 10k from the money he kept with me. When he came back, I explained to him that I was frustrated to take the 10k that he should deduct it from my salary. He said he didn't give me approval to take from his money and that am a thief. I tried to explain that if I don't pay the WAEC money at that time and the registration closes, it means that my son would not write WAEC that year. He refused to listen to my excuse. The following day, na mouth he take sack me o.
he was too principled.

I wish there is a better way to present this.

Have you ever worked or currently working under a super rich man/woman? a celebrity a high class politician? please share your experience with them.

Based on my own experience with my former boss(A billionaire businessman), the rich live like any other people out there, nothing so special. They have their own 'common' problems too. they also quarrel over petty things as well.

PROS: My former boss was very good to me. He took me as his own brother. We used to attend events together. I mean, super private events in places like ikoyi and banana island.
Imagine the thought that'll be running through your mind when you know that you don't actually belong to a gathering.
(flamboyant life at ikoyi in the day, your own reality by evening, a rented apartment in Ogba).

CONS: While I was with him, I didn't have my time to myself.

Abeg how much be apartment for ogba baba mi

Re: Share Your Experience While Working Under An Elite Person. by MOTIONTECH(m): 8:11pm On Oct 11, 2021
i will just share my own experience, wont even go near my boss, i will just share my experience being friend with the presumed super rich abi na elite rich.
1) Some of them are not really rich, they just appear to be rich.
2)If you want to make it in life dont feel your rich friend or family will always help you or whether they will give you the kind of support you feel they should give you.
3)Rich people hardly give money for free, you have to work for them, they wont wake up one morning and tell you to send your account number, it wont happen you have to work for the money you get from them. Eg my guy no worry i go help you supervise your project. You just have to do something before their money can enter your hand.
4)Getting more money is key to them
5)They have had their own fair share of ''the evil people do'' and they use those experiences to treat others they come across with (dont assume they know you are different, they know but they are never going to let their guards dwon).
6)If you are not their day one forget it, you can hardly build any reasonable personal relationship with them.
7) Make your own money dnt ever rely on their own, dont ever assume that you have them. ''You go choke''.
coolTheir money is not enough for them.
9)Aviod making emotional decisions because of them, they dont care.
DISCLAIMER: everything written above are from my personal experiences.

What do you need time for yourself for?
Na that quest for immediate gratification de make ppl poor and ppl like you always blame others for their predicament when the consequences of their actions start manifesting.
With this yarn,I'm sure you're not Igbo grin
So far good money is coming,I'd rather not have time for myself and maybe retire early at 50 than loaf around in the name having time for myself.
i said the same thing u just said now and one unknown element said its cus i am poor that is why i said so.

I kuku tell him "tank u sir"

But i hate to hear feminist /feminism, tho i can sacrifice my all for u as my gf not to talk of wife, but the moment I realise u re taking me for a jackass, the moment u start to showing me ur feminist idea, I swear i wil betray u and I dont mind the consequences.

So for me not to lose all wat I have worked for to a foreign woman, e better make i marry my Nigeria woman jeje and take good care of her. Atleast no one will be splitting the chores with me grin

I play my part.

Don't work 'under' an elite. Work 'with' them.

If you're doing business with an 'elite', drop the formality. Just a bit though.

Call them by their name once in a while.
Look into their eyes.
Speak truthfully but don't blab.


...and abeg no call anybody Oga. I don't even like being called Oga personally.

Something like, 'Good morning Mr Osewa'.

Or



Oga at the top- 'Ok, I'll tell my back office to look at it.'



Oga... - 'Good good! I'll tell Alexx to see you.' (Alert don enter be that)
Hahahahhahah bad boy
