Nigerian Twitter would rather choose N10m over a one-hour meeting with Dangote

It all began when a Twitter user, @dillikonko brought the debate from his radio to the timeline asking what Nigerians would do if they were torn between collecting N10m from Africa's wealthiest man, Aiko Dangote or spending an hour with him.

For our @dillikonko, Money was just money and not value. You can imagine what a one-hour meeting of ideas with Dangote would be like, so he thought in his mind.

Then he took it to the Timeline and posted it.

I'm listening to this very interesting topic on radio. Take N10m or spend 1hr with Aliko Dangote.
And I'm listening to very comedic comments from Nigerians.
When will people realize N10m isn't "a lot of money" anymore?
Smh

I guess Nigerians did disappoint @dillikonko on this one as they felt that there was nothing indeed sensible that would come out of that chat. They believed that it was best to take the N10 million for some investment than losing such a huge amount of money to a rather meaningless chat.

COO of PiggyVest, Odun Eweniyi felt the money was the best bet.

I remind people that Dangote spends his whole day with random people everyday - if spending one hour with Dangote was that life changing, there should be hundreds of billionaires.

@walegates asked if it was worth it.

And What will an 1hr with Dangote achieve? You Acquire to Aspire people always think you are the one with the special magic to make a billionaire part with his money, he's met many like you, they haven't left him richer.

Analogies kept running round

From a very close source

- Mike Adenuga spends almost all his time at the office, closes 1am etc...
- He lives on the same street with Dangote.
- Dangote once wanted to see him but didn't happen until after a week cuz protocol
- Mike A. don't attend parties https://t.co/XVS5znBP8L

@folasanwo said " Imagine the conversation someone who isn't worth more than 10m that turns it down to talk to Dangote.

"Person: Hello sir, please teach me how to get rich Dangote: Hardwork, diligence, and God."

Imagine the conversation someone who isn't worth more than 10m that turns it down to talk to Dangote

Person: Hello sir, please teach me how to get rich
Dangote: Hardwork, diligence, and God.

Person: But I was hoping you'd show me...

Dangote: Lesson 1, take the 10m next time.

Unless you're already financially very comfortable and just looking for new business ideas and advice, then maybe spending an hour with Dangote over 10m cash would matter more to you. But a broke ass nigga like me? Lmaoo Dangote papa.

How many people will?

It's only on Twitter that people pretend ?10m is not a lot of money. How many people are capable of turning an hour with Dangote into a money making opportunity?

N10m is serious money to atleast 95% of Nigerians.

For most people, it can feed a lot of mouths & pay a lot of bills.
For an Investor, it can breathe life into a startup.
For a gambler, N10m with 2 sure odds is N20m.

What is an hr with Dangote worth to the average Nigerian? https://t.co/ZSTCuZsnyT

They said 1 hour with Dangote, not one night with Dangote. https://t.co/xlCclAodm5

After one hour you have a couple of selfies that you post to Instagram three months apart with ridiculous quotes.

And you still have no money.

What do you think guys? Money or Dangote.
