You must be a teenager then or you don't know what's going on around. Fernandez is the word on the street in the 80s and 90s, Dangote and co were hustling when this man made his billions.

RIP baba

Well we don't lost him and we have no regret he passed away, what has he done to the nation, well I don't know him and I have nva hard for him before not till he passed away. And those if u that knows him duringh is day what can I say about what he has done to our country or the ppl of Nigeria? Sympathisew with him cos we all go where he went one day, and as a human being, RIP
Yup. Most stuff I read about him talked about his pride. He only wined and dined with the rich, so I won't expect him to do anything for a struggling nation like Nigeria.I even read he is to sue anyone posting anything about him. You can't even find anything on him on youtube.
I guess he preferred a quiet lifestyle.

Excerpts from an earlier nairaland post below.

https://www.nairaland.com/1241189/antonio-oladeinde-fernandez-nigerias-reclusive-billionaire


H[b][/b]e is 76 years old. He Is A Billionaire. Reputed To Have Not One, But SIX Private Jets. He Owns A Chateau In France, Once Occupied By Napoleon Bonaparte, The Emperor Of France. Friend Of Mobutu. Ally Of Kofi Annan. Associate Of Mandela. I Call Him The Emperor of Blinding Swagger. Terrific Swagger. He Is So Classy That Whenever He Enters A Restaurant To Eat, Everyone Else Must Leave Because He Cannot Eat With The 'Commoners'. He Takes Over Entire Restaurants For The Night To Avoid Encountering 'RiffRaff'. (Chai! Poor Man Don Suffer). Of All The Richest Nigerians I Know, None Comes Close To This Man When It Comes To The Level Of Style, 'Tooshness' & Money-Backed Aloofness. But Who Is He? How He Made His Money? His Marriages? Why He Left His House For A Hotel? 

Even though he is Nigerian, he was appointed the Permanent Representative of Central African Republic (CAR) at the United Nations in 1997 (ain't that classy?, but with the current turmoil in CAR, with former President Francois Bozize fleeing the nation, things are hazy). -Fernandez is said to have interests in the CAR's oil industry (at a time, he was the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic). That does not include his bauxite (for aluminum) exports, gold mines (in Angola) and diamonds pits. He owns Petro Inett, an oil company. Petro Inett is just one of them. He also has shares in View, Sandcat Petroleum, Sanantonio, Goldfields, Voguehope, Grantdalem Inuola, Sandcat Goldfields (cat, cat, now I understand those two cats...lol), Woods and Petro Inett Equatorial Guinea.

-Before then, he had served as the Special Adviser to the President of Mozambique on International Economic Matters and from 1992-1995, he was the Ambassador-at-Large for the Republic of Togo and Angola.

-He was also once the Consul for Benin Republic (then Republic of Dahomey) (1966), made the Economic Advisor to the Angolan Government in 1982 (just for perspective, only Nigeria produces more oil than Angola in Africa, shey you gerrit?). To be specific, he was a long-time adviser to President José Eduardo dos Santos of Angola (he’s been ruling since 1975).


In 1984, he was the Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Mozambique to the United Nations. At a point, he was a Deputy Minister of Finance in Swaziland.

Re: Oluwo Antonio Deinde Fernandez Is Dead by stevSKY(m): 11:23pm On Sep 01, 2015
His gat oil wells outside, and as I heard also by a very close source, he was once the oga at the top of O.....ni lipsrsealed


he man never hid his being a prominent member of a popular yoruba faternity. He has been a highly-ranked Oluwo ever since I knew about him a very long time ago.

Most likely in the top 5 richest Nigerians (probably after me grin).I even heard he had businesses everywhere, but none in Nigeria. Weird, right.

I understood he never cared about media attention. I only heard of Ovation magazine covering his lifestyle over a decade ago.
His daughter even delved into music lately in the US.

Read about this man in current affairs in the late 90s early 2000s! This man had hit the billions before there was Dan talkless of Gote! Himself and one Ibadan billionaire that plays/own golf (course), I'm not too sure of that Ibadan man again. Those guys were damn rich!

I'm waiting for something from naptu2, I'm sure he has an info or 2 abt him!

Baba naptu2, please mention me when you do.

Wow! Finally this man has died !! He was friends with Late U.S President John F kennedy back in the 60's....that's to tell you how classy he was. Also friends with Nelson Mandela and several world leaders whom he hosted in his lavish home. He became a millionaire back in the 50's. Extremely classy. He owned private Jets, yachts, vintage cars like rolls royce, mansions on private beaches in U.S, Paris, etc his yacht, Yemoja, costs a whoooping $107M. His other yacht cost like $57M. Extremely rich and influential, he had no business dealings with Nigeria and the Nigerian Government. Rest in peace.

Deinde Fernandez a Naira billionaire?

Someone that hardly stepped into Nigeria and made his money abroad? Someone that is one first-name term with George Bush?

Maybe this news report on him far back 2003 by Telegraph, top UK paper, can enlighten you on the person we're talking about here.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1434789/African-chief-fights-for-his-fortune-in-300m-divorce.html

Anyway, I first heard of him in the mid-90s when Ovation ran a report on him. I was in secondary school. Far before Dangote emerged.

False!!! I read about him in the late 90s in one of those ovation magazines. But never saw his influence in Nigeria. He was then the number one richest business man in Africa. How can I forget his mansion... Had an island to himself. With 2 daughters, one named bimbola. Funny thing he never invested in Nigeria. RIP to him!!!
