“His photographs changed my life, and now he has returned to his creator."

A centenarian drummer, who became the face of Nigeria's Non-Fungible Token (NFT) community in 2022, has passed away.

Photographer Adisa Olashile, who captured the iconic image of the elderly drummer years ago, shared the heartbreaking news on his social media.

Many recalled Olashile’s generosity, as he donated 50% of the proceeds from the NFT sale of the man's photo to support him, earning widespread praise for his kindness.

Your wealth came at your old age......

Even tho people might think it wouldn't be meaningful to gather such wealth at your late age..... It will mean well for your children and grandchildren......

Go well.....As you pass your blessings to your children and may you watch over them as you take your place behind your creator.....

N2m isn't "wealth" but the intent behind your post is nice 👍🏾

$1,300 USD is just something to cope with or start a micro (not even small) business with. Even in Naira, 2m is basically survival money.

It is well though.

In case you've not seen money before, N2m isn't what it used to be when you were growing up.

Stop calling an amount of money that cannot buy Keke Napep "wealth".

Ciao!

1# WEALTH is the TOTAL SUM of NETWORTH
2# RICHES is the INFLOW of ANY thing bringing VALUE Mostly MONEY

one and TWO has to come THROUGH a CHAIN called INVESTMENT

NETWORTH is the FIGURES, WEALTH is the NOUN


but Cash GIFT or COPERATIVE or THRIFT or LOTTERY is not WEALTH or RICHES

YOU are both RIGHT but in in reality oga SANTACLAW is 100% right

RIP BABA, at least you MADE NAME and FAME for ur LONG TIME career. better LATE than NEVER

JASONjnr:


I wonder how you come up with this.....

But while growing up, many rich and wealthy people today use lottery or loans to start up investment or companies that has been sustainable till date.

2m is wealth to someone who wants to go into farming or agriculture that can literally set them up for life......

i WONDER why u DIDNT KNOW u ended up SAYING this TOO "people today use lottery or loans to start up investment ", you jus GONE back to and ARRIVED at my POV

"Your wealth came at your old age"

Wealth is not just about cash money, good health is also wealth. He lived way above the average life expectancy age in Nigeria so he was wealthy, if you doubt health is wealth ask Ifeanyi Ubah, Umaru Yar'Adua, Gen.Abacha etc

Where's the NFT make i go buy keep

Wealth has a different meaning now

Over 2M Naira. He is pictured holding 1.5M Naira. He was given 50% of the proceeds. It means the NFT sold for 3M Naira. How do these NFT things make money? I remember when it became the latest scam on Nairaland.

1.5M Naira is not wealth. It was good luck.

Rest in peace Baba ayan...



I sell herbs for sexual enhancement and general wellness

2m is a plus to his account
and it can solve some of his money problem ....

Nice 👍 one

OP
I am sorry cos I will like to derail this thread.

I read somewhere here today when some people all claimed Lagos really stink but I am here to tell you that as a staff of LAWMA that the outrageous debt owe LAWMA by houses ,companies and other facilities are mostly (90percent ) owe by the south east and south south indigenes living in Lagos .

If you think I am lying ,you can do a survey by yourself in your street with your PSP operator .They all claim regularly they don’t have wastes and they don’t generate wastes when we all know that there is no alternative to LAWMA (wastes disposal )rather than to patronize LAWMA .Does anyone exist who doesn’t generate wastes ?

Look at the wastes on the roadsides ,wastes at the T -junction of your house and other areas .These are the kind of people who dispose wastes illegally .Some even throw out wastes from their cars .Some will tell you they take it to their shops or houses as if they are actually doing that .They dump it every where and it is still LAWMA that will evacuate them while their bill at home or shops or offices /company keep accumulating and at the end of the day,they open their gutter mouth to ask the foolish question “how come my bill have ran into 500,000?”.

I will keep telling customers you don’t have alternative to LAWMA patronage even if you keep messing the streets around ,your bill will keep reading .Even if you tear that LAMWA bill ,you can’t erase it on the system(LAWMA database ).You don’t have another source of wastes evacuation unlike NEPA where you can decide not to make use of them and you still get power in your house or offices/shops .

The igbos most especially mess up Lagos and you can see them at all the bus stops selling wares and stuffs at illegal places even on the rail ways .80 percent of igbos in Lagos constitute environmental nuisance in Lagos by selling

Chargers
Batteries
Second hand clothes
Fake drugs
Fake drinks at prohibited places

They should stop spewing thrash.These are the developers that built Lagos but refused
to build their fatherlands yet they will never go but keep complaining .

I will edit any typo later pls .

Baba, e sun re o

How much is enough to start a business ??

Rest on baba.

Rest in peace my maternal uncle

hmm

COMRADES are speechless, rest in peace comrade, you have achieved a lot

.

concho:

Anyone can start any business with any amount, but the definition of wealth based on N2m reeks of pure illiteracy.

2m cannot rent a shop in a lot of places in Lagos...
Ordinary keke napep is around 4m naira.

If the definition of wealth is just a little above 1k USD then most people here haven't seen any money in their lives.
