- My Worst Day Episode 3 features Nigerian Oil Mogul Femi Otedola, the billionaire that bounced back. Femi Otedola takes us on a journey of one of his darkest days in business when he lost everything he had worked so hard to build leaving him with only two choices; to commit suicide or weather the storm!
These kind of people are an inspiration to us the younger generation. It is quite inspiring
Respect to Mr. Femi Otedola, I appreciate the Idea I learnt from this interview. and God also bless the interviewer for bring this great gem to us.
One key thing that is synonymous with success, is failure with a lesson learnt 👍🏽
I have never been this close to this phenomenon of a man. He dropped two inspiring statements in the course of this interview. I could not resist writing them down in my personal journal and also shared them on Facebook. No wonder he is a success!
Please share
In this world, all u need is God and an idea.
Mr. Osei Assibey-Boston-USA ... AMEN!
and a Father that was a former Governor of Lagos State .
Smart and wise respect
And networks and connections
True👍🏽
I like how proud he is of his journey... It shines through in this interview.
Great guy, great story, l have 400 acres of land in new oil country Guyana. Coastal and river front land.
This is the most inspiring video I've seen in a long time, once there's life there is Hope!
Adeiza Yusuf
You are right, if we are alive there is hope
This is the most inspiring interview and I have learnt a lot from this Interview!
Just being willing to talk about his beginning is admirable
Sir your bankruptcy story got me inspired, it is well with me, I will share testimony soon
Wow! I have heard alot about how wealthy this great man is, but I never heard he once lost $1.2 billion.
How he managed to survive the emotional trauma and rose again to become one of the wealthiest man in Nigeria and indeed Africa is phenomenal.
We are learning and coming up very soon sir. Peace Hyde, see you soon on My Worst Day
adelekun olu no bi mouth
@@sales-mandept5944 he is speaking it into reality. No need to pull him down with being negative.
His daughter DJ CUPPY saw the suicide note and begged him not to kill himself and stole the letter and kept it from her mum.
That's why he will always do anything for her. I have learnt alot from you
Hmmm. Interesting.
What an amazing story on resilience by the legendary Otedola 🇳🇬👍🏽
Great interview, Thanks so much, amazing interviewer and he is very humble and successful, God bless you my brother.
Learnt from Mr Femi Otedola,the importance of a diversified portfolio. It came in handy when it was most needed. When he decided to liquidate in order to offset debts.
Such humility and wisdom and acknowledgment of God in His life unlike the rich fool in the parable of the rich fool.. God bless him more and me too. Where there is a will there is a way, Oya make I go find way to everything I'm willing to do in my life. #BabaGodpickupthephone #EmiNaFeWaRange
"Otedola with the money ooo"
you are a great hero you give hope to people to know that in there is up and down

Did anyone see the chair he used for this interview?
Lord please help me
Almighty God bless everyone 🙏🙏 in the Global World based on Friendship, Mutual Understanding, Peaceful Coexistence,Non Violence And Justice For All.
You shouldn’t be scared to sell or liquidate and start again
Am not fulfilled until there is no more poor person in the entire Africa?
Am entrepreneur is one who knows what/ has ideas that other people don't know- Femi OTEDOLA.
Very well orchestrated with outstanding outcomes for the world's vue^ IJCMN.
The desire to see the Church flourish will be highly rewarded satisfactorily to the Glory of GOD ALMIGHTY. AMEN.
Otedola, the man with many stories
Let me go and buy truck too
What was his advice to young entrepreneurs? I listened to the answer a few times but could not understand what he said. Can anyone answer?
1. Work extremely hard. 2. An entrepreneur should know what no one knows, foresight
respect
A GENIUS
Respect sir 🙏🙏🙏
How did he say his first money was made? He kind of mumbles through that detail - czcams.com/video/b_d5ptDDMHU/video.html
he is very relatable
Love you bro
The lady interviewing him will be like oh lord I wish he is my husband.
😂😂
What an unintelligent comment!
😂
With all due respect, Sir, you were born into a financially well established and politically connected family. This is what gave you the best leverage, not the fact that you worked hard. If you were born into a peasant family, do you really think you would have been where you are today?
😹😹🤦🏽♂️
I get your point but his siblings were not as rich as he was … it take the Grace , hard work and focus period
Michael Otedola was a principled man who was in power as governor of Lagos for just 1 year. He quit immediately the ruthless and brainless Abacha took power as president
Is it his fault that ur daddy didn't work hard
It is very important to answer questions intelligently, I am disappointed at this mans intelligence, his game is weak but his RICH!!!!! how sad.
jo Lady "he's rich" not "his rich" so who is now intelligent??
It is very important to answer questions intelligently. I am disappointed at this man's intelligence. His game is weak but he is/ he's rich. How sad. That's how to write intelligently. Note the use of punctuation, darling,
@@philadelphia2345 😂😂
Otedola with the money oh
Otedola with the Money
I give up just when you start mixing up "what God has destined me to be" with facts and reality.
You should give. If God has not destined you, forget it.
👏🏾
Actor interview
Plz I need help
the people that thife nigeria oil money we pay one day in hell or in earth
ARE YOU MAD?
why does he keep bring those tongues out.
SOME PEOPLE MOISTURIZE THEIR LIPS WHILE THEY SPEAK THROUGH CHARACTER
🔥🕊️🦅🇳🇬
Why are they being elevated when their people are starving. Wonder if they'll take their money when they go.
pronounced his name wrong
Who are these ones talking.. Jo Lady and Co?..The dude is a freaking billionaire!! Focus on the message and gain some wisdom..
Tarhe Oghene lol
Ben 10....I mean Ben Bruce should come and learn
learn for your self
you know if you were half intelligent as Ben Bruce , you wouldn't be on here checking out Femi.
Yyfa
This guy could not give intelligent answer to simple questions. He is even trying to talk with British accents. Nigerians have been brainwashed. Very Sad.
stevo Stevo What British accent? pls you either need to clean your ears or you have no idea how the British accent sounds !
Where's the British accent??? He's speaking in pure Nigerian accent
Forgive him please
He doesn't seem to be all that intelligent. I say this cos it appears to be hard for him to give direct answers to simple questions . However, he's very much admirable, handsome and hardworking . So I guess, you don't need to be a genius to be a billionaire.
Not all intelligent people have oratory prowess, not all of them are good at speaking to questions. But to be this rich, for this long, dude, you must be intelligent. lol
I don't think anything will define intelligence more than a man who bounced back from such huge loss! Are u kidding me??
BigGodwin Martey ... Exactly! I’ve always been a better communicator in writing opposed to speaking. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
HANDSOME????!?!?? THATS LAUGHABLE
U R an idiot!
Why is he licking his lips ??? 😂
Ibrahim Ola please focus on the positives... Thank you & God bless.
@@inemesitetopudoumoh4176 😂😂
mannerism
Money..
He needs us to understand that it is billions and not millions, am bored already I cannot finish watching this video, I cannot watch someone that speaks with so much unintelligence, its disgusting!!!
you cant know femi through an interview, though he gave an hint but most did not catch it.
he is not an academic guru, hardly went to school but he came back by building his business on a structure and not on him. its all about his team
That excuse is not acceptable, he has made his millions am sure he can afford any form of education in educating himself, in todays world that excuse you just gave is unacceptable. What Billionaire across the world is not intelligent, please name one, I can name one so far, Femi otedola.
your definition of intelligence is a brilliant performance during an interview, quite shallow. femi is one of the brightest business men we have in this country, i don't need an interview to know that.
you can say whatever, cause you don't know him. femi is one of the brightest brain we have in business. he doesnt need eloquence to prove that
hahhahahahaha did he also pay to say these things? hahahahahaha brother get real please! I don't need to know someone to know what they are about.
So u stopped watching cause he was emphasizing on billion? And by your comment you are very unintelligent! A man that bounced back from such huge loss is a pure definition of intelligence
