#NoOffencePls? After you yab the guy finished?

Crap list, what about CEO of BUA group (wetin be him name self) that was once estimated by forbes to worth more than $2b?

I doubt the authenticity of this list; but suffice it to say that if the 'old order' was still in place, with the Hausa/ Fulani holding the knife and the yam as it were, you can bet your bottom naira that there wouldn't be as many Igbos featuring on that list!

Things started changing for Ndigbo in 1999 with the coming of OBJ, and improved with GEJ! We now have a level playing field.....more or less!

Always playing the victim. When countered, you claim you are hated. O no na obara unu?
