Forbes Disowns New Rich List by chuqudy(m): 11:50pm On Sep 18, 2013
FORBES has dissociated itself from the recent rich list published by the new media in the country.

The statement from Forbes said: “The information that was published in a recent article that made reference to a list of the wealthiest Nigerian businessmen was not created nor produced by Forbes Africa or its parent company Forbes.

“Forbes Africa, its parent company in the United States, its affiliates and subsidiaries including staff, hereby unequivocally dissociates itself from the article, the content, thereof and any information that is related to it.”

Totally agree! When I saw his name on the list, I knew something was totally wrong with it. Forbes uses verifiable income to assess it's rich list. Orji Kalu and verifiable income are not to be found in the same book. Rather he should be found on a book with the names of money launderers and in that same book would be the likes of Ibori, Tinubu, Odili and Alams.

No disrespect....you should be old enough....so I think you should outgrow this childish attitude.

You will always see tribalism... matured folks won't.

Exactly.....any body that has held a political office on the list makes such fraudulent ...

That is why you will never see the likes of IBB, TY, OBJ ....yet we know these ones are far richer than most on the fake list.

I wonder why the mods just push topics to the front page without analyzing the facts

Since you wish to believe whatever catches your fancy....I can't help you a bit.

You are told old to be playing the tribalism card in this community....you are not teaching the younger ones good conducts.
