While studying the lives of some very wealthy people, l have come to discover that they all have overt or covert political connections. All our 'great' bankers have state governments and federal parastatals as customers. Though Dangote is a very good businessman, 65% of his success is directly creditable to political connections. He was even unethical in some regards, ask Ibeto and the NSE/AP.

Omerian Consult: Whenever Even our own Seun Osewa once admitted to having strong political connections in one of his posts.

I don't have any political connections, and I can't even imagine how political connections could be responsible for the success of this forum.

my question now is, how far can you go without political ambitions? Can You be a Billionaire without political connections?

no you cant.

Drawing on the power of capitalism, he is today more powerful than the president. Carlos Slim Helu, the world's richest man in 2008 controlled 80% of Mexico's telecom sector. You know how he came to monopolise such an important sector.

This seems to be true for all spheres of human endeavour- media, sport, IT, food etc.
Do you believe that one could become a billionaire without some political engineering?

Omerian Consult: @Seun: l obviously mixed things up.

Why not correct your post?
