  15. So all I needed to see was DJ Cuppy and I had enough. Nigeria's most gini? that's a laugh!
    All the blog hypes won't help hun, you need street cred and you don't have it yet. So strive to get it. If you use your name or dad's influence to secure jobs amongst his business associates, it doesn't qualify you a good DJ. Stand away from your family and learn the ropes from the professionals in the game or you will always be what you call yourself on blogs. I have no affiliations with any DJ.
    I am just making common sense. And I honestly don't have it in me to beef so you don't run under anonymous as a guise ro reply me.
    One love Sister.

  22. None of them is a Medical doctor, Engineer, Lecturer, Lawyer and so on because they are spoilt brats.

  23. Quite interesting but more boring .... This is not inspiring, it's just a roll call of children from wealthy homes. This article is just a reminder that the listed individuals from wealthy homes are not actually idle and unproductive. When you're from a wealthy home no body expects you to be broke or except you've been disowned. Kudos to the kids of African Richest. Please Linda, don't bother doing any article on the kids of African Poorest. Biko kwa.
