Is there any GENUINE rich man in Nigeria? I asked because, in a country like USA, you can list hundreds of billionaires and millionaires that acquired their wealth through a TRANSPARENT source. In other words, they've never participated in the US politics and there's no record of them benefiting from US Govt's contracts. It's their own INGENUITY and HARDWORK. Examples, Bill Gates,Larry Ellison ( Oracle) Larry Page (Google) Oprah Winfrey, Mike Zuckerberg etc.

Unfortunately, I'm yet to hear a Nigerian RICH ROGUE fellow, that didn't LOOT the treasury, or a friend in power sold out "DASH" him or her GOVERNMENT COMPANIES or OIL WELLS or have friends in Government that gave him or her those DUBIOUS CONTRACTS. I'm here to learn, if there's any, I'll like to know. Some of the people that claimed that they're rich today, were NOBODY, and there FATHER was NOBODY, but, after looting the treasury, their regular line will be " I HAD MONEY BEFORE I CAME TO SERVE MY COUNTRY". I want to know the SOURCES of these fellows and their WEALTH.
Obasanjo, Ibb, Abdusalami, Abacha, Mai-deribe, Uba brothers, David Mark, El Rufai, Ms Alakija, Bola SHagaya, Ibori, Igbinedion's, Orji Kalu, Otedola, Tinubu, Dangote, Oba Otudeko, Abdumutalab, Bamanga Tukur ( Bamanga Naira), Rochas, T.Y Danjuma, Yardua's, Anenih's and their ilks, are simply PETTY THIEVES, why can't they be treated as such?

Where's the Nigeria's Mike Zuckerberg

stay there and be looking for genuinely rich Nigerians. This just means you have ruled yourself out of being rich. Stay there, I repeat. out of 160 million Nigerians, you are only able to name 24 names to buttress your point. LOL. You amaze me.

Yes. God bless Nigeria.

There are no GENUINE rich people any where in the world, read about all the people you mentioned and you'll see that they've cheated other people to get to where they are, you made reference to mark Zuckerberg, read the book "Accidental Billionaires", facebook is a stolen idea, Mark cheated out his friends. Do u know how far Bill Gate went to monopolize microsoft? Was apple really Steve Jobs idea, coca cola was introduced in the form of a cough cyrup by a chemist who was cheated out of his invention. "Greed Is Good" if u want to be a success.

TRUTHTELA: Where's the Nigeria's Mike Zuckerberg

Oh, someone just told me that he's in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Quickly, let's go and find him! God bless Nigeria.

There are genuine rich Nigerians but they're not as rich as the people you listed. There's how far one can go Nigeria without having government backing.

Nonsense. So Bill Gate is not a genuine rich person. Whats your definition of cheating.

This kind of thinking makes me wonder why some folks will ever get rich. You will probably say those actors and entertainers who make money and become very rich are not genuine.

some people have resigned themselves to be ever poor, hence they say no one can ever be rich without government backing, stealing or 419. You folks are free to remain poor while others get rich through hard work. It is not a sin to want to remain poor, neither is it a sin to want to be rich, so, if you chose to remain poor because you dont have government backing, then stay by as those who dont think so also get rich.

Mtcheewwwww. Assumptions are too much here.

....but alot of GENUINE millionaires abond,forget those criminal billionaires.

Do you mind them!

Debasement and ignorance everwhere, Zuckerberg, "stole a friends idea", but, not US Govt's money. We're talking about individuals that became millionaires at the expense of the general public. E.g, nigerians av to be in darkness for someone to become ( the sole importer of diesel) a billonaire. US Govt post office works EFFICIENTLY,for the POOR and the RICH, yet, it didn't stop FEDEX and UPS to become global brands and the owners billonaires. The point is WHAT IDEAS DO ALL THESE NIGERIAN ROGUES EXPORT outside?

Why do people change the content of their original post? The initial post clearly reads, "IS THERE ANY GENUINE RICH MAN IN NIGERIA"

Dude the emphasis was the phrase "GENUINE", and I can assure you there's none anywhere in the world, it simply depends on the magnitude and means. I say again "Greed Is Good" in the cooperate world, again u can read the book, "Co-operate Mafia"

Apparently we have different definition of the word "Genuine". The word is not applicable in the context of the poster literally. But from my own conclusion the word is used to denote getting rich without any form of wrong doing. Watch "wall street (money never sleeps)" and "limitless"

I am a genuine rich man

The topic may not be in sync with the content but what the OP means is if we have any billonaire in Nigeria without government push.
