Paddy Adenuga's article was both inspiration and oppression from the beginning to the end.

Especially oppression

It was a tough read for me

Paddy Adenuga can really really write! I'd keep the rest of my thoughts on his Chevron Netherlands experience for offline conversations.

Someone tell paddy adenuga that you can do anything when you've got a billionaire father...I'd rather read inspirational stories from people like Oprah who rose from the lowest of the low to becoming what she is today.

Now thinking of making a bid for film rights to the enthralling Paddy Adenuga story. A thriller, shot on 3 continents, and titled ABANDEX.

Seeing how many people are suddenly "inspired and motivated" by the Paddy Adenuga's story, I can imagine how many Edgars are being called and management teams being assembled this morning. There might be no banks and oil majors left by the time the acquisition spree is over.

Paddy Adenuga‘s dad is the 2nd richest man in Nigeria. Most 29-year-olds I know did not have the kind of headstart he had on life. https://twitter.com/biggiemonzie/status/958295361050873857 …

The Paddy Adenuga's story taught me some things.

1. It's easier to dream when you have plenty money or you know people that have plenty money

2. Don't delete those contacts on your phone. Even that 'tunde rewire'

3. Make that money. MAKE PLENTY OF IT!!!

Three things I picked from Paddy Adenuga’s story.

1. Network. Build business relationships. Strengthen your network. Cultivate your business relationships.
2. Pride has no place in business. Do what is best for your business/ideas. Not your ego.
3. Be knowledgeable. Research.

So, Paddy Adenuga... Kungfu master, billionaire investor, military tactician, Greek literature expert, Nightlifer, strategic genius..

You had all these resources and gifts at your disposal and never considered being batman?

I mean, Lagos crime alone would have kept you busy AF

On this Paddy Adenuga debate I saw something totally different. Dude is intelligent and offspring considerably inherit intelligence from their mothers.
Thus, there is no way Adenuga hooked up with his mother based on her cooking skills.
