In the last 24 hours, the internet has went abuzz with tales of what they have learnt from Billionaires son Paddy Adenuga’s life experience, when he nearly attempted to bought Chevron Netherlands at age 29 in 2014, and Nigerians can’t stop talking about the ruggedness fight and zeal in him for pulling that deal at young age without any assistant from his billionaire’s family and father Mike Adenuga, who’s owner of Globacom Limited and Conoil PLC.
Nigerians took to social media to express their views on the Paddy Adenuga‘s Chevron Netherlands deal experience, some shares their view on what to be done better, what others should learn and so on.
Omojuwa, offline?
Paddy Adenuga can really really write! I'd keep the rest of my thoughts on his Chevron Netherlands experience for offline conversations.

One could argue that Edgar knew that nothing would come out of the venture and that was why he wanted his cash upfront.
Last last, Paddy spent a fortune to learn a lesson he’s teaching us for free. Bless him.

This is how the African entrepreneur of the 21st century should tell their stories not the “God did it” auto response they utter when asked about their successes and failures. @OgbeniDipo
Thank you Paddy for sharing. https://t.co/OlQRYgeDiw— karo.agono (@karoagono) January 29, 2018

That Paddy Adenuga’s story is crazy and should be developed as a movie.
Too tensed but detailed and interesteing.
Life is sweet, money is good.
Alex is a b**ch.
I want to visit Netherlands.
Follow your instincts.
Do more, talk less.

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

I never agreed with him at Glo. Now I have respect for him after reading this – A Lion in the North Sea: The Battle for Chevron Netherlands https://t.co/2LcqKJdnoQ via @wordpressdotcom

I read his story and I believe that beyond the advantage he has, there are lessons to learn. Expertise isn't just a product of advantage, but dedication to work. The other question is how do we break into their circle? https://t.co/Oryrj8II5C

Keyword: dedication.
The guy's power of language though. Did you observe his writing style? Now, that's not regular. Paddy Adenuga is brilliant.
— Nedu Ekeke (@Nedunaija) January 30, 2018
Really brilliant.

We may not have the connections or the money of Paddy Adenuga but the resilience is astounding. Even he knew he was doing something way above him but he forged ahead. He fought for what he wanted. He struggled through the bumps. He did the Lord’s work. I’m thoroughly impressed.
— Kung Fu Pandami (@DamiElebe) January 30, 2018
True. He fought through it, “he forged ahead”.

I'm a new Paddy Adenuga fan. Comes across as eccentric but that's expected and sounds like a regular guy who just happens to be FXXXING LOADED!!! pic.twitter.com/t7sNpemLVI
