Every day on the Nigerian internet, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens as we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social matters, etc. Sometimes, they are just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Here’s our list from today:
Paddy Adenuga, son of Mike Adenuga, narrated his real life story and the internet has gone abuzz with tales of what they have learnt, what can be done better, what others should learn and so on.
1. Omojuwa
Paddy Adenuga can really really write! I'd keep the rest of my thoughts on his Chevron Netherlands experience for offline conversations.

Omojuwa, offline?

3. Agono
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

What I learnt from paddy’s story:
1. Make shit load of money so your kids can be brave to do big things not just live for survival
2. Send your kids to the best schools bcos school = networking
3. Let your kids learn your trade/any trade at an early age so they can set out early— SEUN AGBELUSI (@seuncr8vwox) January 30, 2018
Let's remove connect and money from Paddy's story, he's definitely a fighter and that's what I can pick from the story. To never relent 💪

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.

The Paddy Adenuga's story taught me some things.
1. It's easier to dream when you have plenty money or you know people that have plenty money
2. Don't delete those contacts on your phone. Even that 'tunde rewire'
3. Make that money. MAKE PLENTY OF IT!!!

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
— SEYILAW (@seyilaw1) January 30, 2018
Keyword: dedication.
10. Nedu
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.
11. Dami Elebe
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.
— The (@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
