Ishilove: Why won't they 'cuss' when Nairaland keeps feeding us junk stories of boobs, butts and Gucci? Instead of sharpening our minds with ideas and stories that inspire creativity in us. |

ooooh boy! the true expression of the power of quality thinking and the possibility of anything imagined. I cry within me for how far backward we have gone as a result of ethnicity, tribalism and religious diversity. Why will this man not excel when all he thinks is how his employees will enjoy a good life at work? But here, na how d employee's blood go even make employer get mor money without being paid. We have a long way to run up in Africa as we strive to catch up with the rest of the world. God help us mennnnnnnnnn! |

Every thing under the sun, there is a time to build and a time to destroy. Such a beautiful structure but one day a generation of people will look at it as being obsolete and then pull it down. The season to build such a beautiful structure is here but the other season will come |

As a matter of fact, I do plan to own an orphanage home once I come upon the resources and the means to do so. No matter how rich, I don't see the need to invest in projects such as these.

Nonnyflex: Perhaps because I have heard the Maker speaking of himself through a vessel. Thus, I know what matters and what doesn't. I say to you, what matters most is the lives we can impact today for the better not the future no human on earth can guarantee or predict what will come.

Inferiority complex, in addition to primordial sentiments, is at the roots of Africa's backwardness. We all know that success occurs when preparation by a risk-taker meets an opportunity. But these success stories are made possible by a certain way of thinking. The Americans patronize and buy from their own. This is why in every industry in America, you'll see atleast one rags-to-riches story. In China and even in Russia it is the same. People support and patronize businesses owned by their own people, not the ones owned by foreigners or people of other races. But in Nigeria, how many startups do we buy from and support? Look at Innoson Motors for example. Nigerians don't want to buy Innoson because he is an Igbo man. They say the cars are not good, which is rubbish. Pure rubbish! American cars (Ford, GM, Chrysler) were very bad prior to the late 90s or early 2000s. But Americans supported their car makers and the U.S government patronized them. Police cars and most government vehicles in the U.S are all American cars and without this support some of the car-makers would cease to exist today. The American President rides in a GM vehicle, not mercedes benz or toyota like our dumb-ass leaders who cannot think. Besides, if we don't buy from Innoson and give him the money to invest in R & D, how is he going to get better? By now, every government institution in Nigeria should be buying and using Innoson Motors, so that we help the brand to innovate and get better. But why aren't we buying Innoson? Ethnic biases and inferiority complex is the reason. Ofcourse, we want cars made by white-skinned people, because we view things made by fellow blacks as inferior. If a web app like Amazon or Facebook pops up in Nigeria, won't we still use the ones in America because we have all concluded that we are inferior and our things are inferior? This "IF IT IS NOT WHITE IT IS NOT RIGHT" syndrome must stop now! It is time we support our locally made products, instead of the white mans', so that we can also create the Jeff Bezos, the Mark Zuckerbergs, and the Jack Mas of Nigeria. GOING FORWARD, I CHALLENGE NIGERIANS TO IDENTIFY ONE BUSINESS FROM EVERY INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA. AND THEN, LET OUR 150 MILLION+ PEOPLE BUY FROM AND PATRONIZE THOSE BUSINESSES. Gentle034: 1 Like |

Raindrops1: In every generation, there is an era of change, the known one in Nigeria was in the early 80s, it gave birth to present billionaires. However, for Jeff Bezos it was globalization, dot com bubble of the 90s. But it wasn't a smooth ride, what people don't know is that mere 5 companies survived dot-com bubble when it busted, amazon was lucky because it had raised more than $600 million a month before the 2000 crash. Hence, when the crash happened there was enough fund to sustain operation for awhile, even though Amazon shares plunged from over $100 to $6. But we are in another ere of change now, for developed nations its race for data, huge data. For us, its innovation, just like Jeff was one of the first few people to see the potential of ecommerce, even when people like Bill Gates said its not going to work. Nigerian youths must channel their creativity towards change, economic productivity, and enhance standard of living to live like Jeff Bezos. Money is just a reward. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yeah I know you are right was just teasing . For a man worth over $100 billion, he is known to be unusually stingy. He is the only one among the the world top five billionaires that hasn't signed Warren Buffet's giving pledge and his charitable contributions is paled next to Bill Gates. Even his staffs gets a taste of his uncharitable nature, low level staffs in Amazon work under the worst condition for a big IT firm. It definitely adds to the beauty of Seattle and all but does absolutely nothing for mankind. I agree with you. Chrysaetos: 2 Likes |

lawman88:My brother, it's not about why you are born into this continent but rather what you can do by being in this continent. People from here in Nigeria also have rags to riches story but they had to work hard for it. I agree that if you were born in a better part of Europe or US, you have a higher chance of success but still, make use of the little resources you have now! #Peace 1 Like |
