You probably dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Dalton Rory instablaster ;)
@Leroy Benjamin thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Leroy Benjamin It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Dalton Rory glad I could help xD
He could recall how his mom used to export clothes from Germany but apparently forgotten his own
Young millionaire...make the cash like no one ever did! It's Africa's time!
If he mentions the number of his businesses he knows that TAX crew will be behind him.😅😅
This is HILARIOUS.. Best standup comedian I've seen in years.
He doesn`t even know how many businesses he owns. Must be very easy to rip him off then.. Me: You didnt own that gold mine at all... That was mine all along, sorry... Frank Buyanga: I don`remember. It was probably yours. Me: That diamond ring and the gold watch you`re wearing? Frank Buyanga: Yes? Me: Remember those are mine, and that you promised to give them back to me?? Frank Buyanga: Oh, yeah sure. Me: Good boy. Now let`s talk about your house, and that car you are driving. Remember that i bought them? Frank Buyanga: Oh, yeah. Here are the keys, take it.
my view exactly... sounds like a stuck up *&*%$
I think that the way the young entrepreneur deals with the tea drinking shows that he is kind of nervous. However, I don't know why he is nervous when, overall, he is trying to come across as being cocky, confident, and competent. At some point, the young business man briefly talked sense when he referred to the fact that in Africa many journalists and people are pre-occupied with non-issues and mischievous undermining of people. He also made a good point about the fact that African wealth is in the ground and that many Africans are ignorant about that. I also like his point about how Africans are largely price takers from others about the resources that they have and what they produce and offer to the world such as gold in South Africa even when they shouldn’t be in that position. The journalist asked the young business man a good question about what good message he has for young and upcoming African entrepreneurs. However, the journalist failed to ask the young entrepreneur how he got started in business and what makes him a good and successful business man. The young business man did not adequately address that issue, and instead focused on the cocky claim that he used to provide business advisement to his parents beginning at age 12. His cockiness lies in the fact that he focused on the advisement part instead of emphasizing that he learned at a young age from his parents to be an entrepreneur.
Well noted
Good analysis
Good analysis
Your analysis is good you did pay attention to what he was saying although you did all that I am definitely going to point out that you come across as someone who blames Africans for being ignorant which is complete distorted perception. Some African leaders are naive to the dangers that the Chinese investor from the Chinese government owner firms pose and Xi encouraged them to use Chinese and right everything in Chinese. A hundred year contract is slavery and colonization in one. This guy is saying a lot of nothing but bragging and not really answering the question he is asked. Attacking the media is a diversion and he reminds me of Philip Chiyangwa braggadocio and never share any information fairly and has no transparency. I barely know him but I don't have to see crap because I can smell it. The things he is accused of are serious violations. Listen to Elon Mask, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Walton's, Tim Cook and our very own Clive Masiiwa and note the difference in detail provision, directness, clarity, informative and they use business economic and scientific terms to stress their points. Encourage youths and entrepreneurs to do right and walk a straight line. Let us call a spade a spade. I wish him well and success, but I think if he doesn't change his unscrupulous appearances he will soon find himself on the other side of the fence.
This guy is an actor you can tell from the kind of answers he is given he is trying to set an image
It’s ALWAYS amazing when you actually see arrogant dodgy “businessmen” talking from their alternative reality. But then again, Africa
has got so many of these thieves because it doesn’t have robust police & judiciary systems. Corruption allows thieves to succeed in Africa while educated honest people live humbling lives!!!!!
Thank God u have tackled on that issue. In most cases most of the percentage in Africa are blinded n crowded by the foreign policy n foreign countries. that's great Frank. I can't express a lot as of now hut Africans should take responsibilities and care of our continent not being driven indirectly, which not of us are blinded into. Ignatius.km ....uganda.
proud to be African
Kayihura Ignatius. Muninga
Very true
🤣🤣🤣 what a great performance 🎭 and a waist of our time with an empty ☕️. What a joke😂.
My countryman. Iam proud of you, but let not pride pull you down. I believe you know the WORD..
Why is this man don't do his business in his Country
this video showed up after my video on starting a business in zim... I'm having a hard time genuinely liking this
Same here
I watched yours
Its Brilliant i loved it.
Please put a link
@@BigMeech1 all you have to do is click my handle
@@misscvlog5402 Alright, thanks my sister. Lemme have a look.
After a few minutes of watching the video, I wondered if fraud was a business driver. Google left me unsurprised.
Nyasha T Mushambi Absolutely. Was disappointed that CNBC posted this.
Lmfao eish bra like I died when he said "I don't know am not sure especially when you lived on this earth for 36 years" like that gave him up that he does money laundring, simple and straight.
KidByMuscle Ledu interviewer stayed respectful 👏
@Rowan 😂😂😂😂
This guy is very proud, full of himself.
The idea that you can be a serious businessman and also not know how many businesses is interesting
this guy over loves himself lol
A min 40min in l already picked up on that
And there's nothing wrong with that.
I thought better of CNBC than a primary school standard of interview. Frank is frank though I'm sure he has his reasons for his level of immaturity
u only mind abt your bsns if its boomin....n this really tells me how you doin,,,.......frank my role model....#salute
Don't knw this guy bt just a few minutes into the interview something is not rite with this dude they is no smoke without fire 🔥
The man spoke so much sense, that's what i could deduce from the interview. If you pay attention to that, and ignore everything else you'll be better off
our lad done good , well done Franky,take no notice of noises coming from losers.
He was supposed to build his country
I like this guy talks a lot of sense
Okay.
i only watched for a few seconds before I realized this guy wasn't saying $#!t!!
Kekekekekekekeke he’s overacting
Just 5sec into this interview unotonzwa kusvotwa nedzungu Rina baba ava 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gerrrarahere
Zveshuwa 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
5 mins dzakawanda, i only listened to his first response and paused ndini hangu dzikei kuno kh comment section 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 ndichibva pano kutovhara this interview!
bhagidhi redzungu
I didn't get what this guy was talking about, is he are man for God or business man.
Adress yake pls tinophohwawo Mari dzekuba idzi
I think the word "notoriety" is a bit too strong, apart from the language of the reporter, it is almost a good interview.
I can't deal with this interview
He ddnt say anything.he just was acting unfortunately we nt stupid
Is this a comedy show ? I feel like breaking my knuckles on his face .
hahahahahahaha
He is likely to get and say why did you break your knuckles
Overflow of pride mmmm too much
hes right about unity
I must admit this Buyanga is very patient person 🤔
Dzonyepa idzi - how can you not know the number of your businesses?
The elephant of the room question lol 😂 🤣 🤣 Mr Buyanga knows power
For the fact that he ran away from questions he is a true thug running away from his country
The man who forgets his businesses had to explain claims of fraud minutes after. That was expected!!
He did speak some sense from around minute 10
I quite agree with you
What amaze me about this Zimbabwean man is that he left Zimbabwe to do all his business in South Africa what's wrong with uplifting Zimbabwe
Er......are you aware of what capital does or you just think in terms of national boundaries?
He has businesses in SA, most in the UK, Seychelles, and Zimbabwe!
This is being proud and God hates a proud look proverbs chap 6. I pray to God nomatter how big and successful I become I dont become proud, confidence is enough for me.
i dont know what to say
Fantastically Brilliant: Glad to hear and see Black people such as Mr. Buyanga.
One Love brethren and Best wishes.
No matter what colour he is we shopuld call out pride when we see it
The man is the very definition of the word sociopath. But, he indeed understand the nature of the African. The African thinks by his stomach. I too have understood this working in Ghana. Apparently, it is nearly a continental thing.
No wonder the world has moved on, while Africa... lets not even go there.
India gains independence in 1947, gets divided by the Brits, goes to war right out of the gates. 1957, Ghana gains independence; Britain's favourite. Always receiving gifts. India chooses cheap weapons from USSR, USA thinks of this as aggression so it chooses Pakistan as its partner, and thus India is trapped with Socialism, which absolutely blocks economic growth. Meanwhile, Ghana never had any issues, was always supported by the west, has more resources than all of South Asia combined while being less than 10th of the size.
Nearly the same amount of time given to both of us. We had it infinitely worse, but look at India and look at Ghana. All because the black man thinks with his stomach. You cannot help him, I doubt if even god can....
This gentleman is simply ridiculous. He is of the 'mafia' calibre, smart looking and clever with words. There's no other way I can describe him.
The most ridiculous part was when he said he couldn't possibly count how many businesses he's massed over 36 years on the earth. Really dude. Ridiculous
If he was a white man would you guys still have the same opinion? Just a question
Question 1 failed. This man really wants us to believe he doesn't know how many businesses he owns 🙄🙄🙄.
Is this guy for real?
36 years is a long time ????kkkkkkk
Kkkk just an idiot enjoying a family fortune now he thinks he is even better than his parents
he is very serious
What simply comes out of African minds is hate and jealous.
I mean this is inspiring...
And so much wisdom for African renaissance
lol it's very difficult
"Eating pap and chakalaka"
Must of been a really bad cup of tea.
Oh give me a break.
What are watching here
Frank Buyanga cant remember the number of businesses he started and own,'it is very difficulty' and that put me off!!!🤣🤣🤣
True genious
my real true hope is that this was all one big joke....... CNBC Africa is this really content worthy of your name?
Very good points just a bad opening topic
Frank Buyanga stays winning! Call him whatever, I don't care. Guy is sharp, you can't elicit or corner him.
My mentor
this guy is proud...yikes
this is bullshit ...how can you not know the number of businesses you own...how you gonn maintain control over them i know he can appoint management for that but still......i stopped watching when he said that
Should go to Hollywood.
The walk would do him good 😂
We are very happy that you ve made it but whoo dude u toooo pompous
He knows what he is talking about because he can not just disclose his secrets on this platform . HE is clever enough
My first time hearing about this guy..He sounds like a stereotypical conman...Talking a whole lot of hot air without any details you can hold on to...I pity anyone who does business with him
I cant believe you actually gave this man an Interview dead
☕☕ more coffee plz
chakanyanya ichi🔥🔥🔥
his accent though 😀!
juliet mudau Juliet I thought I was the only one picking up on this. Umless the guy grew up outside Zimbabwe his acvent is definitely not zimbabwean.
Kikiki he's faking it.
He grew up in the Uk.
@@BigMeech1 u're jealous. U want him to sound like he grew up in Zhombe?
@@saddingtonmangena1241 lol. Jealous of wat.
fraud buyanga.......... had never heard or seen this guy but just this interview has it all....... its a shame Frank
Fraud is an opportunity don't hate the player
Oh he is full of himself, I even expected to find ideas here but actually I am out of this please assist me to find the right Africans who can help inexperienced entrepreneurs like me I feel so sorry for him not I despise him he settles me off with his stance that he squeaks with lots of gratification and kind of pretentious yet I seem to like him. No matter where he find out this he need to change the whole of him, personality matters to be a role model. He can't really know how many businesses he owns seriously, sorry for him and I am sure he is successful but he is full of himself and lagged most of his answers. We care for you but it's so awful that it is hard to learn from you, he made me feel mystify.
Iwe
everyone saying all the negative things because he is a black investor,listen to what he is talking about not his skin
Look I don't care how much of an asshole people believe he is, it's his prerogative to be as arrogant as he wants and I don't begrudge him that. He's actually a hero to me following the landmark ruling granting fathers of children born out of wedlock joint custody. That was a complete travesty. More power to the guy. Respect.
Should we celebrate you for running away from your country and empower yourself by building businesses in other countries
i feel like this guy is always asked the wrong questions by the media... instead of trying to figure out his reputation and his name why not ask him how he got successful and inspire more young african business pipo.
Desire Dhliwayo I agree,i learned a lot from this interview. He said I'll rather sleep on streets than bend over.
Desire Dhliwayo There’s nothing to learn from a “successful” businessman who don’t know his sources of income, how many businesses he owns it’s not a difficult question. I’m glad I don’t him I feel sorry for those who do. He’s an actor he deserves an Oscar 🎭🤹🏽♀️
If he doesn't know how many companies he has I'm sure he also forgot how he started them.
I want my money Frank . You won't get away with it .
When did he steal it awat from you
Come on🤷🏽♀️, even Warren Buffet knows how many business subsidiaries he’s got. This guy is a bad example to small entrepreneurs, the number one rule of being an entrepreneur is to know your numbers, your money, you cannot be that guy who’s proud for not knowing his money.
Then it's simple! Just look for another good example!
myb he want to avoid businesses being taxed
Pride pride pride, at the end there is neither sense nor lesson out of this video.
Mr. Buyanga had a lot of valid points but the interview just got interesting to me by around 12:00 into it. I subscribe to all channel related to business and in particular business in Africa; however, I don't feel like I had gotten any insight on this man activity other than seeing that he may be very wealthy and connected.
Now I'm actually disappointed at CNBC AFRICA for such as sub par interview. The whole thing looked extremely staged and the interviewer looked shy and almost scared to me.
Bottom line this interview did not look professional enough to me as a new African entrepreneur making his mark.
You can and have done better cnbcafrica.
ALBUQUERQUE NKOT NAM INTERNATIONAL SERVICES SL i agree with you. This interview was below journalistic standards. Im utterly disappointed. Nothing gained from this
that tea though why is it not finishing
It's special tea.. It has gold dust that keep the tea above quarter level... I can sell you some bro...
GREATNESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
He smells like a fraud
Stop hating , his doing well. One problem With black people is they always get so jelous when they see other black people doing better than them..... it’s rooted in them
Please give me 10 businesses it seems you have a lot of them
Does that tea have a cup
Frank you are a winner keep it up👏🏾
weird, how can a responsible person not know his own business's... its lyk yu do ilegal staff... lol
Frank is just arrogant and speaks like a headmaster 😅
I don't know him but I can say that about hI'm as well,he's arrogant
After all the positive he dished out you point out that?. Why focus on negativity?. Thats why he is where he is, and u r where you are.
Haai this guy is fishy 👀
Okkkaaaayyyy....
What the heck is going on?
This guy is shady. How come he doesn't know how many businesses he owns
not an experienced interviewer
What's in that cup???
Partners your foot in south Africa .. you won't see what hit you
Genius
ahhh ayaass kana comedy dza Passion Java dzinosara pasi, cnbc madii kungomupa 6pack ye starbucks
after watching for 15 minutes I have concluded there is no tea there lol, but the guy is making sense though
LOLOLOLOL...Who is this FRANK guy...WHAT IS THAT he is drinking...the more he drinks....the worst it gets. LOLOLOLOL. Omg, I started at watching Mugabe, whom I love to listen too....HOW did I get to THIS GUY. OMG. I'm out!....OK...so before I cut...I heard something of Mugabe daughter... so THAT'S how I got here. And he is now sounding sane. I look into this later.
Randee Barrett kkkkkkkkkkkkk you make laugh ya the guy I think is a comedian.
