KnowAll: that means no execution of project at all and no payment of salaries, which is not the case . Mind you when Tinubu was in power as Governor of Lagos state, I believe Lagos state never budgetted up to N300 billion in a single year throughout the 8 years he was in power. Anyway, like you said in one of your posts, maybe they might come close in 20 years time. But wait a minute, the last time I checked, Dangote's worth usually increase by up to $1 billion on the average per year...meaning in twenty years time, he will be worth more than $30 billion. Please tell team tinubu/fashola not to waist their energy and time because even if they decided not to spend any of their stolen money to eat at all, they will still not come close to Dangote in the next 100 years. |

KnowAll: I seriously doubt any of our politicians will aspire to match Dangotes wealth - one way straight ticket to jail. There is some persisting myth surrounding Asiwajus wealth but I doubt he's interested in surpassing Dangote.. |

officially he is the richest,reason being that he is operating on large volume of cash stole by our politicians,he is only fronting for them as they have no liver to come out and said they are the owners of so and so company.in insurance we called it poll of risk,where people gathered money together to pursue a common objective.sharing ratio is in accordance with what u put in.that is dangote for u |
Re: Is Dangote Really The Richest Nigerian??? by petnkool: 11:36pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
fools!!! hehe , they do not know the richest Nigerian, who is also the richest man in the whole world. I AM ! I am so rich to the point where I hate to be called rich anymore. Money has lost it's meaning to me . I don't even know how much I am worth or even what to do with money anymore, so I started buying what they say "money cannot buy" . I recently acquired six monstrous blue whales deep in the North Atlantic (zigi, Bigi, Nemo, Lady Ann, Lady Boo, and Mario). Billy-Willy (anyway, you may know him as Bill Gates) sold Microsoft to me 5 years ago , but I employed him to keep the business running cos I want to remain an undercover boss. Right now , I have a private spaceship (Called Buzz Light)that allows me to travel to Mars whenever I feel bored on earth , and I currently own the largest franchise on Mars as well, where I am sponsoring a research team of scientist operating of highly developed extra-terrestrial intelligence to figure out how man could live forever by means of an alien-intelligent neuro-radioactive matrix device. I don't eat on gold plates alone but also have ice creams made for me from real gold fluffs . I own just only one bank called the Global Federal Reserve Bank which has on it's list of debtors, 102 individual countries' Federal Reserve Banks. These countries include America, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and our own Nigeria sef among others. Giving you an insight into my WEALTHINESS, who are Dangote, Otedola, Obasanjo, IBB, Fashola, Tinubu, bla bla bla, all of them put together ? They made their change out of a tiny crumb from my bite. So , who is the richest Nigerian ? I AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( IN MY IMAGINATION ) . Phew!!! wow , it sounds good sha ! #grinning |

Etumgbe: Ask forbes magazineWe don't need Forbes to tell us who the richest Nigerian is, Dangote is the richest on paper but realistically, he is not! IBB, SS govs, and few politicians have more than Dangote, afterall Obj made Dangote who he is today by granting him the sole producer of sugar, salt and later cement! |

KnowAll: 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 , Do we know what that interprets into in Pence, Cents, Pounds £££, and Dollars$$$$.being rich is not by how much you earn. If you earn and waste all, you can't be rich, that's the logic. |

^ where is that guy? Its being a while. @ topic Dangote is fg, fg is dangota. He was a front for Abacha back then,alas there's no rich man in the mold of dangote in nigeria dat did'nt dip his hand in govt. Coffers. Officially, dangote is, because of his shrewdness as a bussiness man and the direct favours he usually gets at the expense of taxpayers. |

@Op: And you expect serious minded people to contribute to your post with these your frivolous and unconfirmed claims?? Then I guess Barak Obama should be the richest man in the world by being at the helms of the largest economy, if we go by your theory. |

Dangote is not exemplary anything.he burrows money from banks to do business.he might not be able to pay back in next 20years.dangote feeds on nigerians through capitalism.the problem with politicians is that that do not invest in nigeria due to fear of EFCC. KnowAll: |

Dangote is the richest according to official records. The others you mentioned are government theives!! So it does not really count...because they can never come out to show their net worth. |
Re: Is Dangote Really The Richest Nigerian??? by Afolabs101: 11:22am On Jan 07, 2013 |
DJTee: It's a race to amass as much wealth as possible. To win elections and hold on to power through yourself or your proxy, you need money, to pay off EFCC and police, you need money. To win sympathy and any assistance from traditional rulers, labour leaders etc, you need money. To fight your political opponents, you need money. If you are the REAL richest Nigerian, then you have the capacity to control the political space and from there the country. Not that it is automatic, because Dangote may not necessarily be able to win even his Local Government in an election. But if someone like Tinubu continues to amass wealth through the SW states and Lagos, soon you will see his influence increase across states where PDP is having trouble. So to answer your question, politicians want to amass as much wealth as possible, even if it means becoming richer than Dangote. |
Re: Is Dangote Really The Richest Nigerian??? by Afolabs101: 11:22am On Jan 07, 2013 |
@OP So Dangote is worth around $13bn? Lets look at some of our politicians: IBB - the World Bank estimates that approximately $20 billion was stolen from the Nigeria by his regime. With time and spending on politics and expensive lifestyle, his portion of the $20bn must have reduced. This will be countered by return on investments in biz (glo?) and politics (contracts etc). Abacha - estimated to have stolen $4bn Abdulsalam - rumored to have stolen more than Abacha, however he hides it well. Obasanjo - I believe he is the current richest man in Nigeria. During his time, oil was selling at the highest it had in its history. The kind of oil money Obj, Yar'adua and GEJ have seen, IBB and Abacha could only dream of. During Obj's first term, Atiku chopped heavily and it was when he went to prostrate to Atiku that he really understood that money/patronage is needed for political followership. It is during this second term, with the help of Andy Uba that he took a piece of absolutely everything. We're talking of budgets of over N2-N3 trillion, hundreds of billions of contracts awarded, oil blocks worth hundreds of billions of dollars being given away, Halliburton, Siemens etc, privatization of National assets, Transcorp, Presidential Library and of course $16bn spent on power and the list goes on....... Others - Cecilia Ibru forfeited $1bn in assets, is that up to 10% of what she stole? Anenih misappropriated $2.5bn in a space of what, a year? We're told that between $6.4 to $12.8 was stolen in one year in the name of subsidy, what about the pension thieves? It is rumored Jerremiah Useni has about 100 houses in Victoria Island and Ikoyi. Dont forget, during the time Yar'Adua was in Saudi Arabia, Taminu and Aba Ruma were alleged to have chopped N70bn security vote for a period of months. And we haven't even got to GEJ, Diezani and the rest, although I'd say Diezani could well be the richest woman in the world at the moment The scary thing is the way these people can amass so much wealth so quickly. Dangote may make a profit of $1bn in a good year after a lot of hard work but the Minister of Petroleum can make $1bn in the space of a few months just by changing a few clauses in the PIB in favour of the IOC's or by selling an oil block and chopping the signature bonus. The Governor of Lagos or the Minister of the FCT can become dollar billionaires overnight by allocating land to themselves. So in conclusion, you just can't compare business people to Nigerian Politicians. |
