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

At 29 Alexis is being paid over $350,000 a week
At 29 Aubameyang is joining Arsenal for $50m+
At 29 Paddy Adenuga almost bought Chevron Netherland
At 29 Mark Zuckerberg had a networth of $34bn

To the 28 year olds out there, dont say you're too young to achieve greatness. Push.

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
