Nigeria vs Mark Zuckerberg: A Lesson On Lifestyle

Mark at CCHub Yaba, Lagos

Oh yes, Mark Zuckerberg owner of Facebook came into Nigeria Monday this week and is still here as I write this. That's for those who do not know anyway.

So as I scrolled through my phone watching the pictures on his Facebook timeline, I could not help but marvel at his conspicuous simplicity and humility.

Beyond business and Facebook, Nigeria and Nigerians have a lot, I mean a lot to learn from Mark.

When I first saw the CCHub Yaba pictures of Mark at their office, I was taken a back. How could I have missed this news of Mark's coming? Me that spend majority of my time online.
There was no announcements, no fanfares. Brother!, there was no convoy, there was no government sirens with over-zealous military officers trampling on innocent civilians. By the way Mark is the 5th richest man in the world. Abuja and them "Molesting rich Nigerians" take note.

Secondly, Mark walked the streets of Yaba. In fact he mentioned going to the shop of a certain Rosemary Njoku to interact with her and some other Nigerians. Now tell me which Nigerian "Big boy" do that without MOPOL, military "Crushers" or "Big chested" bouncers crushing them fans?

Thirdly, you can't help but notice his legendary polo top and jean trousers with no sagging. Respect to all those pant sagging Nigerian celebs, hope y'all are seeing Mark?

Finally, even though he is "Stinkingly" rich, Mark doesn't smear it on our faces with, "Omo Baba Olowo"(Yoruba for, son of a rich man) speechs. That's humility talking. Nigerians take note

Watch his speech in Nigeria here.

By the way, welcome to September. Blessings is all I wish you.

Peace.
