Wonderful development. When people say Yorubas aren’t in a class of their own when it comes to business, continue to show them people like this guy. There are even more other tribes from Nigeria in America, yet a Yoruba is the wealthiest Nigerian immigrant. Soon he will pass every other black american. Only entertainers and Robert Smith are ahead of him. If this company goes public he might pass Dangote. Thank God almighty that the Yorubas are blessed.

if it the other way,they tell you Igbo amaka,but Yoruba are more than that!

There's nothing like silent billionaires,if you rich a billion dollars your name must be heard no matter where you are,bro a billion dollar no b jokeooo

I guess your thinking and my thinking are not the same
Let me break it down for you
Silent in that context meant - a billionaire that’s not loud.

SilentQueen:

Nigerialabalaba:

olodo, u tink say I dey say d guy no try. I just dey school u say no be by valuation.

if 10 million dey pay $20 monthly for calendly,dat na $200m monthly and dat na $2.4 billion revenue alone from subscription fees. abeg use ur brain for once, which company go dey make $2.4 billion yearly and still dey raise money from investors every time.

U need sense aswear2gud. Business no be for by valuation o, na by real cash and cashflow wey dey flow like river. If dat company get dat money, e no go dey do series funding upandan, in fact, equity funding no go enter dem eyes especially for $3 b valuation.

Post their yearly revenue abeg

Why was the guy trash talking nigeria saying lagos is dangerous and all of that? Unless half his brains had been eaten by dogs with that statement he made he should've realized his negative portrayal of our country could lead to a negative perception from outsiders and may drive away investors

There's a positive perception aboit Nigeria?

Truth is that serious investors dont rely on hearsay. If they are considering Nigeria they'll do real market research.

A thread where you see people, whom I think are sensible, still try to chip in one tribalistic talk to another.

Why can't human understand that everyone is the same irrespective of where they come from. We call the whites racist, but ours is even worse. A black man is a big problem to his race, not the white.

Aswear

You meanam, I'm a 29 year old man,buti swear I no get this kinda knowledge,omo I need to widen my horizon

En en age is just numbers bro. I think with yearning for knowledge in certain subjects, you’ll surely widen your horizon.

You will be well versed in some certain aspect while another person will be in a certain aspect. Na so life be.

Read the article they said one of the wealthiest, it is not that he is the wealthiest. Ahhhhhhh this tribal chest beating na wah ooooo after you would say igbos chest beat

Your Igbo brothers that chest beat on threads with an Igbo man achievement in the diaspora, do you go about chastising them as you're doing on thread? Obviously no. That's nothing but hypocrisy. Be happy or not for the guy and stop looking for who's mentioning Igbo or not.

jneutron4000:
when it comes to bussiness Yoruba are at the top, they do not make noise and brag about it.

True. The day I learnt that Ogunlesi owned the Gatwick Airport in the UK and acquired the Italian Railway Company, I knew Yorubas were so humble with money.

Exkandayee:

Haha funny guy,so because he owns 2 airports that means he's extremely rich,davido networth pass the odunlesi of a guy,get your facts right before you spit shit,his Rich in dollars but he's not upto 30 million dollars

So Gatwick airport that he bought for $3.7billion is not up to Davido's $30million? Eya so sorry

Is it strictly down to d fact that he is Yoruba that he attained the height he has attained?

Based on your opening sentence, are all Yorubas around the world as successful as him?

Funny Guy. Let me shock you. The same Ogunlesi owns the Italian Railway Company. Such an info as this would never make any local news headlines because he's not a noisemaker

I don’t know about the website you post coz it’s talking about their assets and that could be confusing when trying to relate it with market value.

Below is a link that shows their current market capitalization on the Nigeria stock exchange.

You can see the market cap of Zenith bank is the highest and that’s at 714 billion makes. That’s not up to $3billion for Calendly.

I hope you understand me.

https://simplywall.st/stocks/ng/banks/market-cap-large

https://nairametrics.com/2021/06/26/top-7-banks-in-nigeria-by-market-valuation/?amp=1

Yes I do understand.
Certainly surprised Nigerian banks are not worth that much, even Zenith, GTB etc.
Guess inflation from recent years could be the cause. Don't forget few years ago $ was 140.

Yes you’re right. I think Nigeria economy suffered and the banks too took in the fall.

Even me too I’m surprise that Nigeria banks are not that much in market cap. But it is what it is.

If you get sense you go know say the billions Remitta or other banks are moving daily is not their money so how does that come into this discussion?

We are talking about market value, this one is saying nonsense. Bring Remitta market value cap or keep shut. This discussion is above what your brain can comprehend.

So because you are a bank or payment agency, any money of your customer is suddenly your money? I know before that IPOB terrorists no get sense but you just validated my assertions.

By the way Calendly is based in USA, if Forbes acknowledged it as one of the most successful black business why should I waste time with a NOBODY like you from Upper Iweka?

It does not change the fact that Valuation is NOT REAL WORTH. It is just a future estimation, which can be affected by unseen factors, nonetheless.

I love the idea and I was happy that it was built by a Nigerian. A lot of businesses are using it today.

i dont know which amaka is this one is it igbo amaka or yoruba amaka

lexy2014:

you guys bring tribal issue in everything, you should stop for fukck sake its disgusting he is a human being just like everyone

While some are busy wasting precious time on Nairaland calling people Igbo, Afonja etc. You can catch your cruise o but make sure your legit money making gig is tight or you are actively working towards it as a student, mentee or trainee.

The last few years have shown that the future is bleak for those without concrete productivity plans. Begging for money through emotional or spiritual blackmail will stop working. Same with fantasies about instant wealth. Be diligent!

Oga you see the mischief in your statement. Who are those who started this hyping of tribe? Isn't it not yorubas, when igbos start hyping you get upset. This twisting of narrative will not work. I am happy for his achievements as he can only get this in America not in this shithole called Nigeria.
But again to clear the record the article said he is one of the wealthiest not that he is the wealthiest ehnnn just cool down with the chest beating.

Running from things, not running things. No Igbo person is as wealthy as that guy. At least, no Igbo person has ever been assessed by Forbes to be worth 1 billion dollars.
Bleep off, useless gumbody.

lol you are a joker. Please let the US government bring statistics and you will be surprised.

jneutron4000:

Honestly, Igbo traders believe everything about business is buying and selling products, that's why they insult Yorubas, but look at Nigeria's service industry, it's being controlled by Yorubas...

There's no service you need today, technical or otherwise, you have to call a Yoruba man... Yet they think it's by opening shop and selling products alone...
