Is Dangote Really The Richest Nigerian??? by KnowAll(m): 5:29pm On Jan 06, 2013
With the kind of money some of those South-South Governors get on a monthly basis and spend willy-nilly without any checks, restrictions, or restrain, is it not a fallacy to think Dangote is the richest Nigerian? In Lagos, Tinunbu/Fashola and his cronies who have held the commercial heart of Nigeria for 13 years are the God-Fathers of this city that has the reputation of being the 5th largest economy in Africa if it were a country shocked, Do we know what that interprets into in Pence, Cents, Pounds £££, and Dollars$$$$. shocked

Are these gentlemen who keep on promising us the 4th mainland bridge not richer than Dangote? They and their cronies have bought all the prime lands in Lagos, any infrastructural built by these quite and easy going 'Capone' they make sure they take a token in form of levying the so called 20 million "mugus" in Lagos, the Lekki Toll comes to mind, same thing would be applicable to the Ikoyi-Lekki link Bridge, A token in form of a levy would be paid by anyone who wants to take this short route to Lekki Peninsula, these gentlemen without underestimating their might, would probably build Eko Atlantic City single handedly without any in-put from banks or any financial institutions, are these people not richer than Dangote? lipsrsealed undecided

They Fashola/Tinubu gave Akeredolu a blank cheque to fight the election in Ondo State knowing fully well their man has no chance in hell against a formidable opponent like Mimiko, yet they went ahead and bank-rolled the expedition. All the funds expended on that debacle of an election has now been summarily written off by the duo Tinunbu/Fashola, while Akeredolu is not a penny short despite going through such a titanic battle. If it were to happen to mere mortals like me and you, we would be dead broke. No doubt these two gentlemen, do really have deep pockets.

What of Akpabio, Odili, Udughan, Amechi and Silvia. Nothing on the ground to show they have spent their monthly allocations wisely and judiciously. In Port Harcourt a fly-over that was undergoing construction suddenly crashed, are the good people of Rivers State not short-changed by these cutting-corner roughish tactics of Mr Governor? all we see in Asaba, Uyo and Yenogoa are Keke Nepap, an eye-sore looking vehicle that was never part of the Nigerian terriaine. What has happened to those mouth-watering allocation? shocked Rumours have it Odili owns Arik, Amechi has 2 refineries in Ghana, and Silvia's own houses all over the place which are currently under-going lock-down by EFCC.

Asaba still looks like a village despite the huge allocation from the FG, the only major project done so far in this dispensation is that over-inflated, over-rated and under-use Airport. Silvia built a fantastic Governor's lodge for himself and nothing else, yet for the time he was Governor he got close to a N1 Trillion Naira, what d fuccckk has he done with all those fund?

Akapbio seems to be the knight in shining Armour, at least he built a few over inflated fly-over’s in Uyo Township going to no where . Uyo a city of modest traffic does not need such frivolities at this time of her development, when one looks at a clip of those fly-overs, one cannot but notice those un-ubiquitous keke-nepap gliding over d fly-over’s like kids sliding down a bouncing castle, even at that, one would expect 100's of keke-nepap moving up and down the road but to one's astonishment there appears to be just a few of them on these grandiose, over-inflated road made from gold dust, it would seem. lipsrsealed Rumours have it he is the richest Nigerian(do not quote me) lipsrsealed

So back to my initial Question, Is Dangote still the richest Nigeria?, well maybe, Dangote might edge it by a lttle notch, but if another crony of Tinunbu were to be elected into Alausa, the worth of that tight knit Lagos Mafiosi 'family' would be anyone's guess. cool lipsrsealed

We know the ex presidents IBB and Abdulsalam may have more than Dangote but these guys are discounted. They were Military Head of State who ruled by the barrel of the Gun. However, I don't think OBJ is a billionaire thus!

@KnowAll
What's your obsession with Dangote anyway? Were you not the one that said that Dangote should be governor of Lagos? Correct me if i'm wrong.

Dangote is an examplary Nigerian, so any Nigerian that believe in hard-work, persevaranve, fairness, and have a competitive spirit would have a soft-spot for a success story whih Dangote represents.

IBB is the richest Nigerian. Folorunsho and Adenuga are running IBB's businesses while Julius Berger also owned by IBB is constructing the most inflated road contracts in the world.

@op

Dangote is still the richest!!!!!!
All the governors and cronies you mentioned go on a spending spree without any genuine investments that will bring returns.
Wealth is not measured by how much cash u have, it is measured on the resources/machinery u'v put in place to ensure sustainability.

We have no way of determining otherwise, for now he is the legally recognized richest mogul in Nigeria. The IBBs, Adenugas etc should formally, officially and legitimately contest the the prime position and let's see who gets invites from EFCC and ICPC

Dangote is just an official richest man in Naija, cos his assets are wel knwn! buh; he cant be the richest as long as Naija is concern:..... leaders in the past and even present shud be regarded as the Most richest....
Re: Is Dangote Really The Richest Nigerian??? by Nobody: 6:22pm On Jan 06, 2013
Officially he is, that's the most important thing... undecided

Questioning his status is like questioning Carlos Slim Helu & family(the richest man in the world)... We all know that the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Arab oil sheikhs, Russian oil mobs etc. would make everyone on the forbes' richest list look like paupers...
Re: Is Dangote Really The Richest Nigerian??? by Nobody: 6:23pm On Jan 06, 2013
Officially yes,cos he has a legitimate business that generate income for him,but there so many rich people that are richer than him,but can't come out to declare it,cos their money is illegitimately gotten.-ie-drug barons,politicians,etc.
