Olalan:
Not hating but this challenge really lacks substance........naturally we all would experience change in our bodies our that time span and most probably with good feeding it's obviously going to be a better growth.
A better challenge would have been a show case of what you have become over the past years

He wasn't born in any money. I knew his family when they were all living at Randle Avenue Suru Lere even before his father became the governor of Lagos. He is more closer to his father than the rest. He made his money when his father was the governor of Lagos state unlike Aliko Dangote who was born into the Dantata a wealthy family.

So the son of a former governor of lagos wasn't born in money?


Or are you arguing that at his year of birth there was no money?


The point is that he was from grace to more grace.

Not grass to grace.

This is the problem with most of you that believed that once you are in government or any of your family are in government that person must be automatic rich. There are two category of politicians in Nigeria, those that went there to serve the masses and those that went there to steal. I don't know your age however, if you are born in the 70s and you are the type that follow Nigeria politics of the past you will understand where I am coming from. The likes of Idiagbo and Lateef Jakande went into politics to serve, Idiagbo's wife was operating a mini store where she sell provisions in Ilorin when her husband a vice president to Buhari was in power.

Idiagbo children are still around and lives a normal life. They are neither rich nor poor. Jakande is still alive and he is still the poorest ex governor of Lagos. Jakande went into politics to serve and not to steal. Many Nigerians doesn't even know his children because they lives a normal life like their father. Sir Michael Otedola was just an opportunist who became the governor of Lagos due to the crisis between Sarumi and Agbalajobi of SDP. He didn't even stay long but amassed enough to make him rich. He was just an ordinary journalist that became rich after he left office at Alausa. Like I said I know where his house is at Randle Avenue, Femi and his junior brother Olu were close to their father but Femi was more closer.

My argument Femi was not born rich. He made his money when his father a journalist became the governor of Lagos under NRC.

My argument Femi was not born rich. He made his money when his father a journalist became the governor of Lagos under NRC.

The question wasn't whether his father was in politics to steal vel non.


The meat is that Femi has no right to lay claims to grass to grace.

Is it just about the money?

What about names?


Son of Ojukwu or Ernest shonekan may not have money but the name alone will open doors and bring contracts etc.

The name alone can facilitate favours even money cannot buy.


The thrust of my argument is that he shouldn't be shouting grass to grace.

It was the same way Adenugas son was lambasted for saying he at 29, singlehandedly almost bought an oil coy in Europe.

He forgot the cumulative advantage he got.

He has the right to move from grass to grace even you have the right to move to that level. The issue and the question you thrown Femi was born into a wealthy family. The answer is NO. He made his money when his father was a governor in Lagos state. Most people know that Ojukwu came from a rich family. Nobody know Sir Michael Otedola as a wealthy person except as a journalist.

You keep harping on one aspect alone sir.

Being the son of a former governor is worth billions. The name alone could give him contracts.

Achebe Chinua may not be rich but 50 cent offered 1m dollars just to use the title "things fall apart"

Abiola's son can gain audience in Aso Rock not because of billons Abiola left but because of the NAME which is now immortalised.

Today many people take contracts to Osinbajos's firm - Simon Coopers so as to curry favours from the government. There is a report on this. Not mere ipse dixit. You can google it.

Good name is invaluable.

You are still wrong. The fact that his father is a governor including the names of those you mentioned does not guarantee that they must be given contract. That is why I said earlier that there are two types of politicians in Nigeria, those that went to serve the masses and those that went there to steal. With this your argument, you are indirectly telling me that those children of politicians should be given contract or juicy appointment because their parents were in government or once in government. Those that went to serve the masses like Idiagbo, Aminu Kano, and even Jakande came back with the same level they went with same with their children, politicians in active service doesn't even recognise these children of past leaders whose parents never looted because they are not rich like the Otedola and co.

The Abiola you. read about cos from your argument shows that you are probably born in the 90s made his money from the Nigeria government not from his hustle. Same applied to Femi and his father. Aliko Dangote family are well popular and rich through Dantata. The Chinua Achebe u mentioned did not make his money from government, he used his God given talent to attained where he was till he died. Pls note the different none of his children has ever beg the government for favour, they hustle on their own and protect the integrity and legacy of their father.

Is this too difficult for you to apprehend?


I said he could gain Access to Aso Rock easier than an unknown person's son. Did I say there is a guarantee he will get the contract?

Who is talking about how people made their money?

Did I say Achebe or Abiola made money from government.?

So if I cite Bill Gates too, you start asking "Did Bill Gates make money from government?

I cited those to establish the fact that names can open doors and that names are invaluable and having some surnames can give you an advantage. Is this confusing?


Is this how you argue? Muddling up your points. By my discipline I know the importance of establishing points?

Hear yourself " He can gain access into Aso Rock just because of being a son/daughter to an ex governor/president " Go to America and tell them you want to enter the White House because you are the son of Bill Gates or they should award you contract because you are Obama junior brother from Kenya. Abegi I give up cos your age and immaturity in politics say it all.
