200 Billion Will Be Beter! Alibaba Reacts To Davido’s Claim That He Made N500m A Day

Following claims by Nigerian singer Davido that he made a whopping
N500m from his #30 billion concert, Nigerian comedian Ali Baba has
reacted to the news.
Writing on his Instagram page, the veteran comedia said it is possible.
He wrote: "This afternoon, at about 1pm, I got a message on my
WhatsApp asking me to confirm if Davido can actually make the kind of
money he claims to have made. I thought the sender was patronizing… or
as we say in Warri "e dey use style find my mouth". But this evening, I
got another chat from a Banker, who wanted to know if the kind of money
he is hearing could be made from a concert. I could not ignore this one.
He is the Chief Risk Officer of a top 5 bank. So, I took my time to
mention how possible it is to even make more than the figure he has
heard being mentioned. In 2007…
I worked on an Entertainment, sports, hospitality and
recreation R&D project with some great minds. That was 10 years ago.
And after all information and surveys were gathered, we found out that
between 5-8Billions… Yes billions… are spent between Friday and Sunday.
10 years on, from another survey carried out last year, its now over
15billion every weekend. The financial dynamics can be dazzling. That’s
showbizness. It’s unfair, or better put, a total waste of efforts to
compare your career as a banker, doctor, lawyer, accountant, engineer
and businessman, to that of people in the sector listed above. Usain
Bolt for instance could make the profits of some banks just by taking
part in 3 meets. Because the prize money, endorsements and investments,
could amount to some cool dollars.
Just convert that. Mayweather is another case in point. THE
POINT PEOPLE MISS IS THIS… The Entertainment sector is a gold mine that
activates commercial activities in allied sectors. Sectors like,
banking, security, hospitality, food and beverage, fashion, video &
photo coverage, equipment rental, printing, advertising, branding,
luxury market, marketing, legal, graphics, insurance, stage,
engineering, medical, transportation, tourism, events management,
comedy, broadcasting content, telecommunications, data consumption… and
more. ZENITH BANK, GTB, HERITAGE, PEPSI, GLO… know this. And it can be a
200billion every weekend sector. We are far behind considering the
potentials we have. So yes. N500m IS A TIP."
