The Better Life Billionaire Promo (or “BLB Promo”), a novel initiative of NNB Capital & Investments Limited, a financial and investment advisory firm, has been officially launched in Nigeria.

The maiden edition of the Better Life Billionaire Promo, a unique promotional lottery campaign is set to change lives of Nigerians for the better, irreversibly, says the Director of the Campaign, Mr. Celestine Achi.

According to Mr. Achi, “the BLB Promo is not only novel in its idea but also its prizes are unprecedented as participants stand the chance of beingone of 10 people to win N5 million each, every week or the lucky winner of the N200 million grand prize in the 13-week campaign”.

In his words: “The Better Life Billionaire Promo (or “BLB Promo” in short), is a novel initiative of NNB Capital & Investments Limited, a financial and investment advisory firm, that that develops creative financing schemes, and deploys same to facilitate socio-economic development in Nigeria through the facilitation of execution of key Infrastructural Projects in the country while improving the welfare of Lucky Nigerians.

“It is in line with the above that the Company created the BLB Promo with a vision to ultimately: Make Nigerians “irreversibly” wealthy, and facilitate the provision of key infrastructure in the country.

“The Project has been organized like a classic lottery system, where Nigerians, of specified demography, will participate by playing for record breaking Prize winning”.

In addition, the Mr Achi said that the Promo has introduced features of additional care, support and guidance into the Prize winning which willenable the Winners to sustain and grow their new wealth, thereby ending the trend of Lottery Prize winners reverting to poverty after their winnings are mismanaged.

But not only does the Campaign benefit individuals, it seeks to support the development and improvement of infrastructure in the country.

“In addition to individual winners, the Project will also identify Community Winners at which needed infrastructure projects will be determined and financed from the Project returns.”

Speaking further on why the initiative was unveiled, the BLB Promo Coordinator, Maxwell Chinonso, said that it was part of efforts to support the Government’s wealth creation agenda by providing alternative solutions to the nation’s economic problems outside of government.

He said, “Our country and our people have great potentials to be even greater than we are. But our present circumstances are pulling us back. The poor state of infrastructure in Nigeria is a major reason for slow economic development. When there’s no infrastructure, there’s no investment – both local and foreign investments. Cost of doing business is high, profit is eroded and businesses fold up, unemployment is high, leading to poverty and instability.

“Nigeria  requires  $3  trillion  in  the  next  30  years  to  fix  its

infrastructural deficits which translate into an annual investment of

$100 billion into infrastructure by the Federal Government. But our government can hardly finance this, even if there is no corruption! Even if you add available pool of investible funds from local institutional investors – PFAs, etc, it is simply not enough. The total

Pension FUM is insufficient to fund even just the annual requirement of the nation’s infrastructural needs alone.

“Also, our youth are unemployed and broke. And when the occasional windfall comes, they don’t know how to investment and manage their resources, to grow it and become even more successful.

“It is in view of the above, that we see that the Government needs help and we can support by providing alternative solutions to the nation’s economic problems outside of government”, Chinonso explained

Reeling out what The Better Life Billionaire Project seeks to achieve, she said that the twin objectives are: “Making billionaires of young Nigerians, through the Promo and assisting them with proper guidance on investments to ensure that they sustain their new wealth and help create wealth for others; and also help bridge gaps in infrastructure by using Promo proceeds as seed funds for infrastructural projects in communities within the nation.

Mr. Achi, the Promo Director concluded, “It is our belief that the BLB Promo will set a new path for creative engagement of our people and our communities, making direct positive socio-economic impacts and also make people have fun and entertainment in the process”.

To be part of the Campaign, Mr. Achi continued, “You have to dial the USSD code *5453# on the networks of MTN, Airtel & 9Mobile. If you are an MTN subscriber, you can just text BLB to 5453 and play by text to win. Asides the above, everyone can also play by just visiting the website:www.blbpromo.com.

“Winners will be contacted through phone calls and SMS and are rewarded with their cash prizes, including an options of investments and assets that continue to generate income and wealth”.

“Wizkid Is Not The Guy Social Media Keeps Trying To Make Y’all Believe He Is” – Basket Mouth

Published

Comedian Basket Mouth had this to say about Wizkid

“All these talks about Wizkid being proud will always be funny to me. 2014 I had my show in Lagos and I really needed Wizkid to perform and I was willing to pay him anything.

I contacted him and he told not to bother about paying him. He promised to come as a surprise guest & put up a show for free.

3 days to the event, Wizkid called me that he won’t be able to show up coz a very important family emergency had happened. I was really heartbroken but I just had to accept the reality.

35 minutes after that call, Wizkid asked me to contact any Nigerian artiste I will like to book for the event and get back to him with the bills.

I quickly contacted Lil Kesh, Kcee, Yemi Alade and Phyno. The bill was about 40 Million Naira and Wizkid cleared it all. Mannn! I thought I was dreaming.

Wizkid is not the guy social media keeps trying to make y’all believe he is”

Published

The singer said;

“My first EP with Sony Music was a failure. I packed my bags and returned to Lagos, gathered all of my producers and said, “We need to teach these people how to make music.”

In their minds, they’ve given me millions of dollars, and they expect me to make the music they want me to make so they can profit.

I said, Let me go home and come back.
They didn’t think my kind of music would work.
When I returned, I released ‘IF’ and it was an instant hit.”

Weldon Davido!

Published

The YBNL artist said;

“When I made my first big pay check from music, I was so happy that I shared the news with my girlfriend. I gave her full details of how much I made and the next day, I gave her 2 million naira as a gift.

To my surprise, she turned it down saying 2 Million was too small compared to how much I had made. I was abit worried coz this girl is from a humble background and I never imagined her to be like that.

I explained the situation to Olamide and he advised me to leave the girl, he also instructed me to send the 2 Million Naira to my mom.

I’m glad I did coz my mom was able to make good use of the money and open a big provision store. My mom doesn’t call me for financial issues anymore coz she’s doing just fine…”

Wow, Olamide is really a good boss and a good guide too.
