I know he co-founded Andela but, even at that, his net worth is not up to a billion dollars. Let's desist from throwing figures around any how. I doubt if both Andela and Flutterwave combined are worth up to a billion dollars.

I know him personally. So I am not throwing figures.

it very expensive no wonder i saw many people homeless...i couldnt believe this was Europe like Burundi....aleast for Burundi i go dey hut under tree for village they drink palmwine

Those are the people who find it difficult to get a place because of loss of jobs or they're on drugs.

None of you are wrong. It's all correct. It's all perspective.

I m quarrelling with ahibo though. I felt it was rather callous to say somebody on oxygen is already dead. That is somebody's Daddy and grandfather. Peoples lives will be changed forever when he dies.

what making them take drugs in high numbers is it depression ?cos the Nigeria nepa alone can cause depression

Oga why shouldn’t he evade tax ?

Pay tax in USA and you see it with good roads and a system that is working, pay tax in Nigeria and you just got another minister richer.

And those expatriates will definitely love Nigeria cause of the preferential treatment they get for being White, Trust me you won’t get that treatment if you leave your state and move to another state to work in this same Nigeria.

The truth is that Nigeria is a bad place, a very bad place especially for Nigerians and we need to start seeing it for what it is and stop lying to ourselves abeg.

Is this the only explanation?

the boy is doing another course again..nursing asistance at his own cost...i hope he stabilize sha the investments on his head don pass 14000 euro it reach to buy fairly used truck in Nigeria that will be generating 400 k monthly ..the yeye boy keep snapping pictures in dublin ...i ask him did we spend all this moeny for pictures

Oh! So because you know him personally you know his net worth? I hope you know that even Otedola is not on the Forbes' Africa's Billionaires List for 2020 and hasn't been on the List for some years now? Anyways, believe what you will. Salaam!

they gave him 2 years post study visa ...he move to one town dongel where Lyit insitute is that cost of living is low

Probably! Most of them are members of the European union who comes in without any family members or job offer. They always end up on the street and end up frustrated.

No wonder...Letterkenny Institute of Technology is in another county, county Donegal is about 4hours drive to Dublin. How is he coping with the lockdown?

Google adsense that bans anyhow?

How about those who dont make upto 500$/Month after Google updates?. How about thos who dont even make $500 in 5 months

Please stop misleading. I'm into tech and i can tell you what you are saying is VERY far from the truth.

There are over 4.4 million programmers in the USA and The average salary for a computer programmer in the United States is around $85,237 per year.

You even mentioned 100k$ via adsense per week?. How many people earn that?.

Big youtubers can more than that in week, but the big question is how many big youtubers do we have in the world? Google AdSense is crazy, you change country, you have to go through hurdles for Google to continue paying you.Sometimes, you have to lose the account. It very difficult to breakeven on youtube as a starter now because of 1000 sub and over 4800 watch hours rule. All niches are saturated on youtube.

Emmanuela of Mark Angels Comedy is in Nigeria and should be earning more than a thousand dollars in Nigeria monthly, how many kids are earning that in Nigeria, you see everybody cannot earn thesame. That youtuber kid you quoted how many kids earn like that in America? Do you think Emmanuela will think of relocating to Canada now..NO! Like Ahib said people who are not doing so well in Nigeria and still young may relocate but people who are already established in Nigeria and earning a reasonable income should stay put instead of going to canada to become uber driver.

Is Uber the only job they can do over there?? Life is not all about money. Check most billionaires, they have some ties with US. It is much easier to make it there than Nigeria, period! Most inventors have to bring their inventions to US before they got known, Africa can not offer that kind opportunity.

Tvegas:


I have never experienced most of the negative things you stated in your write up even while i lived in Okokomaiko. This country you so detest has been good to me. I guess you are outside Nigeria with the way you alluded to "haunted mansion". The way some of you talk about the lifestyle of Nigerians living in Nigeria amazes me. Nigeria has its realities but you have to learn to adapt here to be successful.

For starters Electricity has improved greatly over the past 2 years in my area, these days i only switch on the Gen to warm it. There is solar as an alternative. Security is also top notch in my estate, i know the weakness of my country so i dont waka anyhow at odd hours and in odd places.

Last week an indian wrote my firm to rent one of our new housing development on 5 years lease. Rent of 4mil per annum. Thesame country where everyone talks down on ,its where an indian wants to lockdown accomodation for 5 years. Before the lockdown i helped some chinese filled their landing card inside emirates airline, That would be their first time in Nigeria. Many of them are trooping to this country yet many of you are running away. Its a known fact that Nigerians are some of the most unpatriotic people in the world. I respect peoples decision to relocate if they wish to but there is no point rubbishing your country as if there are no success stories there. Come and see what Most Nigerians say about Nigeria to claim assylum in Canada,you will weep for this country. The whites will never respect you.

I started business right from campus,i have never worked for any company. I manage a thriving property company right now and my networth is enough to retire if i wish . No side hussle, no shady dealing. On campus it was all about my ICAN exams, fellowship and classes there was no time for frivolities. I got it right early in life and i wasnt from a rich background,thats a Nigerian story you will not talk about and the CNN will not talk about.

Like a member said here most of the statistics being quoted about Nigeria is related to the north. And i pray one day this entity will split so that those regions that want to develop will develop.

Nigeria is not hell like a lot of you paint it and the western world is not heaven infact the best you will ever be is a second class citizen behind the whites. Recent attitude from racists like Trump should have shown you that there is no other alternative than to make your country work. We just need some little tweaking to get this country roaring, few things needs to be fixed and i believe hope is not lost. My brother who has lived 25 years outside Nigeria is taking up assets here and planning to relocate here pretty soon. Stop putting everybody together, when you are determined to make it you will make it. Irrespective of location.

That bold got me thinking... Environment matters. How many billionaires in dollar do we have in Nigeria? Why not go and live in a cave since location doesn't matter??

How many billionaires in dollars do we have in the world? Maybe 2200 or thereabout from a global population of over 6 billion people.

XiaoLi:
In Nigeria your 100M can provide you most of those things you call good life in developed country, you can own a brand
new car,electricity.. you can get a brand new sound proof which someone in the next room will not hear the sound and still enjoy constant power supply,security..you can use your company to get a well equiped mopol.. see i dont live in Nigeria myself but i go back to Nigeria every year and i can tell you that in Nigeria your money can get you most of those things you enjoy in developed countries. With 100M in your account or assets in Nigeria i can guarantee you that you can get visas of almost all the countries incase you need to go for medical tourism or vacation with your family.

Hmm...how much is brand new car again in Nigeria??

I have read your previous comments. I STRONGLY believe You dont NEED to relocate to first tiers before you make it big in Tech. It's called Tech for a reason. There are many Tech dudes in Nigeria making it bigger than MOST first tier countries contemporaries.

Do you need to live in USA before you list your app on Google playstore?. NO

I live in Nigeria and work with MOSTLY clients from USA.

You said you have proof of Youtubers earning 100k, Did they show you proof of their earnings?

I challenge you to show me proof of 10 Youtubers making 100m per week. I will show you 1m Youtubers that are struggling to make $100 per month. Most of these guys are still in the game because they have strong passions.

BIG Youtubers earn MORE from Product promotion, On average, 1m views on Youtube adsense could give you between $1k to $10k. Tell me, how many Youtubers get 1m views in 1 week?

Perherps, you need to make a research to understand how Adsense works. It's calculated based on Location of visitors, Niches, CPC and other values.


MARKANGELS gets most visitors from Nigeria, so MARKANGEL can not even generate $10k per week via Adsense.
Here is a better search link on Youtube to give you better understanding

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+much+1+million+views+youtube

You'd see most videos with over 1m views earn lesser than 10k$. Not so many Youtubers can drive 1m views in 3 months, let alone 1 week. If they keep making more contents, not all will go viral.

Youtubers make more money from SELF STORES. AFFILLIATE, SPONSORED PROMOTION and most times, they dont get offers often . Do i have to tell you viewers hate PRODUCT PROMOTION?. If you do it too much, they'd unsubscribe from your channel.

I'm not derailing the thread, i'm just trying to make you undertand some facts

Good morning to you.

We have gamers in Nigeria, but they are no where to be found. Location matters in tech and that's why many tech gurus are migrating to silicone valley. How many people are on Youtube in Nigeria? We have many challenges facing YouTube in Nigeria. We don't have constant power, internet speed is very poor and our data subscriptions are high. Can we enjoy unlimited data without capping in this country?

Some people just think that when you upload a video on youtube, people will start watching the video. Before people to start watching your video, it goes beyond SEO optimization, thumbnails etc.

He's got a sister here, give him my number incase he needs any foodstuffs because I don't think there's any African store there.

If you are inventor or scientist, there are limitations on your path if you are not from 1st class countries. All the Nigerian inventors we have in USA wouldn't be able to achieve their feat if they didn't relocate. Tesla could have related well that environment matters alot.
