“Collect 100m flex life if money don finish na them go do your visa to come to America.”
@okaykaykurlynz said:
“Dear Fellow, You are 20, you just finished Uni, collect the 100 million put it in a fixed deposit or buy Nigerian government 2 year-bond with 18% interest per year. Then, go back to your father and tell him to teach you how he made money. If your dad has a business or an office start following him to the office everyday and ensure you are on the monthly payroll. In 2 years, you will be better off and your father will be proud of you.”

“Everybody get the one way dey do them. Some people problems na other people testimony.”
@RealPearMan said:
“If I were you I will take the money. This is like betting waiting for goal to secure 10m instead of cashing out. If your father can give you 100m naira (70k dollars) what’s the need of going abroad? You can always travel to US and come back while running your business here.”
