Sorry I could not get some of the names of the owners of the companies listed, but they are all real

Empty boasting thread.

Na anambra state, i dey fear dat state

Get list of 50 or 100 richest nigerians and find out the states of origin. Easy

anambra followed by bayelsa

Any Anambran know if the Chikeluba family are from Anambra, and what company/companies they own?......that is if the family is still wealthy, and hasn't fritted away their Dads wealth like 'Ekene' seems to have done.

I believe Anambra should have the highest concentration of wealthy indigenes, followed by either Ogun or Abia states. But what i can't understand is why Anambra doesn't have a high IGR (of at least 3 billion a month on average) given the high volume of cash transactions as an indicator of a robust state economy, and given the high number of wealthy sons and daughters from there ; this is one of the areas (revenue/tax collection) i feel Governor Obi hasn't performed well.

bknight: Get list of 50 or 100 richest nigerians and find out the states of origin. Easy

u get sense bro thas just d best and only way to know it .

Anambra is the first,second and third. That is where you have the highest concentration of richest Nigerians. Ogun State has lots of wealthy businessmen/women, so is Kano state also, but Anambra dwarfs them all.

Ogun state has d following:
MKO Abiola
Mike Adenuga (Globacom)
Sunny Kuku (one of the founders of Eko hospital)
Kessington Adebutu aka Baba Ijebu (Premier lotto)
Subomi Balogun (FCMB)
Buruj or Buraj(omo ilu foundation)
Bayo Kuku (fmr president Nigeria Stock Exchange)
Barr. Osinubi (Wesco lotto)
The Odutolas
Late Mobolaji Bank Anthony
The owner of Lead way Assurance (can't remember his name,he is late now)

The list can be updated...

redsquare: Anambra is the first,second and third. That is where you have the highest concentration of richest Nigerians. Ogun State has lots of wealthy businessmen/women, so is Kano state also, but Anambra dwarfs them all.

please, i hope your not counting dead men.

And how many states, in Nigeria have you visited. Do you have any data to support this statement.

We are talking of Richest Nigeria not rich men that have a few hundred millions. We talking dollars, pound, euro ...RICH

I know Nnewi has lots of rich guys...but are they "that" rich.

I've always assumed it was Ogun State?

Without stats, I guess you really can't say conclusively.

Kano =

1) Isiaku Rabiu

2) Abdulsamad Isiaku Rabiu (BUA Group, etc)

3) Colonel Sani Bello

4) Alhaji Aminu Dantata (Dantata Group, etc)

5) Alhaja Mariya Dangote (Mentholatum, etc)

6) Alhaji Aliko Dangote (Dangote Group)

7) Alhaji Sayyu Dantata (MRS oil and gas, etc)

8 ) Alhaji Tijani Aminu Dantata (Starcomms, etc)

More to come

Borno:-
1 The Deribes
2 Indimi
3 Ali Modu Sherif
4 Waziri Ibrahim
5 Bukar Mandara

Pls some1 update Borno has some very rich families.

AGS Bama.

@Naptu: how come just 2 families seem to be representing Kano? They need to empower more people to be employers of labour and generate wealth for the state.

anambra should be the answer.. because igbo people do anything for money. even will kill for money.

Kano state because of the days of the military

Ogun state because of Obasanjo,awolowo

musiwa23: anambra should be the answer.. because igbo people do anything for money. even will kill for money.

SE are smart not to burden themselves will high taxation which has rendered some regions poor.
