In our culture, we are not used to seeing successful people appear like you- Pres. Buhari tells Zuckerberg

While receiving Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, at his office today, President Buhari commended him for his simplicity and informed him that in our culture, we are not used to seeing successful people appear the way he does.
"I am impressed by your simplicity in sharing your knowledge and wealth with those with less income. In our culture, we are not used to seeing successful people appear like you. We are not used to seeing successful people jogging and sweating on the streets. We are more used to seeing successful people in air-conditioned places. We are happy you are well-off and simple enough to always share’’ he said.

In his remarks, Zuckerberg said he was impressed by the interest, energy and entrepreneurial spirit displayed by young Nigerians in all the ICT camps that he had visited.
"I was highly impressed by the talent of the youths in the Co-creation Hub in Yaba. I was blown away by their talent and the level of energy that I saw,’’ he said.

D-PinPointer Says: What culture are you talking about? Simplicity is a matter of preference, not culture. If you don't know what to say next time, please keep quiet, and just take pictures with your guest.

What kind of statement is that?

Unknown said...

I wish Nigerians will learn from this man Mark Zuckerberg...

World 7th richest man, still down to the earth... An ordinary man that just made little money in Nigeria will always be seen in the company of his security guards... What for? To show off their wealth of course...

Kai this man and him mouth again well cause they leave a very simple life not in Nigeria where ordinary commissioner will be moving with convoy,some cause of the small money they have they will move with Siren and policemen anywhere they go disturbing people with noise not knowing that they are exposing thereself and finally Mr PMB there are still some people in this Nigeria that have bastard money but you won't notice until someone tells you he or she is so so person and most time you find it hard to believe cause of the way dress and without convoy or even policemen..

Ironically, this is what those who voted for you expected you to be. I saw pictures of you with sachet Milo beside you, I read articles about the sandal wearing, money-to-buy-presidential-form borrowing, frugal man of integrity set apart from others. Now you wear your N200,000 designer shoes and tell us that you were wearing those from way back when. Oga, you fall hand no be small.

Buhari's head is not correct at all. Frigging hypocrite. When last did he jog. If you see the vicious convoy he has given Zahra his daughter to move about with newly (and corruptly) acquired designed gear, he should be impeached already. Forever running Nigeria down. Does nobody tell him he can praise a person without denigrating another? Buhari is a fool, everybody and nobody should tell him that nobody can build by destroying. Idiot. Same goes for his falsely sanctimonious sidekick, Fake Pastor VP Osinbajo. The evil idiots that ruined Nigeria.

Anonymous said...

Mark Zuckerberg comes from a safe country where rights are assured, not a country where a person can be detained just for naming a dog. Buhari should sharrap. Is that why the presidency hurriedly arranged an event to beg Mark Zuckerberg back to attend? Fools

Unknown said...

Please my fellow Nigerian's, we should be happy that came down to our country and see our culture .some of our fellow Nigerian have distrowed abroad.. Also with our current situation we can be proud of our country now and stop pointing fingers ,let just act on our motto .....LOVE and UNITY ....

Mark came to teach a whole lot of the Nigerian show offs lesson, from all indictions it looks like they are learning. What the show offs fail to know is that wealth is not about your bank account or your material possession, but who and what you are on the inside.

Why is it that anytime hhe gets to talk to white people, he exhibits inferiority complex by bringing his people so low? How you appear in public is a matter of personal preference and not of culture! Must his visitor's way of appearing in public be our standard. For the information of PMB, some heads of state don't have many aircraft as him. He should sell them to become a simple man! KOLAQ

Dear PMB, now that you know a better way of doing things, please sell your aircraft and travel economy class like many others! I'm waiting please!

There is nothing wrong with what Buhari said. If you are rich in Nigeria and you dont move around with security men, you could be kidnapped, mobbed or robbed. It is a culture and norm in Nigeria. So free Buhari. Dont bring stupid politics sentiments into this. Grow up and get over yourselves

Anonymous said...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Buhari said. He said the simple truth. Your hateful comments are starting to become irritating. Pls get a life.

When u are rich, if you like dont go around with security guards in Nigeria. When you get kidnapped, then you will learn to move with around security guards. Remember: "A gold fish has no hiding place".

Anonymous said...

They dont try to intimidate people. They do it for their own safety. You could get kidnapped and the kidnappers will ask for a huge sum of money just because u work for the government. If you cant provide it, they may kill you. Also, your political opponents can kills you. Receive sense na!

@Annonymous 10:06PM You are filled with so much hate just because your looting party lost elections. Release yourself from the chain of hate so that God can bless you. Buhari only stated a fact. In Nigeria, if you dont have security moving around with you, you can get kidnapped or killed or even robbed. Collect sense and get over yourself!

For a President who says little, when he speaks he always talks too much and anyhow especially when he's around white people.
