Sure. Eventually everything is going to happen.

Guy like that comes around once a generation.

He might not wanna be black the way we like to hate on people for being exceptional.

Let thecoli tell it. He could be some billionaire revolutionary genius scientist in his 20s but he's cancelled because his girlfriend is white.

Which is why you should take nothing the Coli says seriously.

Doubt it. However, if we do it'll be a Nigerian. Speaking from a point of ignorance, the nation seems to be well equipped with resources to become a technological hub. Plus this Naijbreh (and the people's overall performance in scientific/technological endeavors is inspiring).

Nigeria has the potential without question. But they need to massive reform their corrupt government and national mismanagement.

It pops up more than people think.

Limited resources and exposure to outside stimuli and/or being surrounded by folks who think because you're "smart" means you'll either be automatically rich so they hamstring you to keep you close kinda hampers dreams and ideas.

Or even worse, your ideas get stolen because you showed them to the wrong people.

I think Tristan Thompson could be the next "Elon Musk" if he's aggressive and continues to get fantastic support from his investors.

Sure in terms of ambition but the problem is that Black men/women never get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to financial matters/investing. I mean the Black Elon Musk is going to have to invent something revolutionary and it has to produce. Granted though we are capable of it, I remember reading that 65% of modern inventions (past 100 years) were either patented, invented or co developed by African Americans. We're due.
