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.

... before there was Dan talkless of Gote!

Phahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm a little surprised there are handful of people that don't know who Deinde Fernandez was. Truly there are many kids on Nairaland. In the 1980s and 90s, years before Dangote, Adenuga and Otedola becomes household names synonymous to wealth in Nigeria. The likes of Deinde Fernandez, Harry Akande and MKO Abiola wealth are the type you pray to God to bless you with. This is a man that held ambassadorial positions in many countries around the world, he was a deputy prime minister in a country outside his country of origin, a very highly diplomatic man respected all over the world, we were told he owned a private island, he owned cars that were owned by the royal family, this man defined poshness and classy of wealth. With reasons best known to him, he didn't do so much on the home front (Nigeria).

RIP sir

I'm below 35 and I know about him very well. Some of us started reading newspapers and magazines and following events since primary school.

Thank you oh. Internet no dey back then. So we gats to read newspapers and magazines.

Jarus:
Another abroad-based billionaire Nigerian many people may find strange when he dies (may he live long) is Kase Lawal.

He's a US-based oil magnate.

Start researching him now.

Auto-correct na wa. I wan Google the man and it changed his name to last lawal.

Sexologist:


see you that was busy washing plates ....and going to the stream.... when did u read newspapers?

I grew up in the city and not in the village.

Given the African standard, and if you are not talking about investment kinda billionaire, then yes! He was a Warren Buffet of Africa! The man was what over 6billion pounds! One thing that made him stand out was the flamboyant but yet covert lifestyle he lived! The man buys the best things for himself! What I actually envied most about him is the political appointments he had in different African countries. That still surprises me.

Me too

Urine:


He was very reclusive but influential, one of his daughters Teju Philips was a commissioner under Tinubu. Guess he wasn't ready to deal with naija wahala.

I remember Mrs Teju Philips

Most people here are saying R.I.P to a dead man they never knew. Your wealth still speaks even after you are dead.

how have we lost a gaddem thing
please
explain it to me
Dangote g can understand
adedibu even
last last babangida
but this guy
WTF

Yup. I don't know of anyone that has benefited a dime of his wealth. If he didn't create jobs for anyone in Nigeria nor had any known businesses that helped make their lives easier, I have no idea why people are saying we lost a gem after his demise. I'd respect the likes of MKO, Ezego etc before him.

Sabrwahaqqo:
First time af hearing that name really.... Some people just get very famous posthumously ... And he's even a billionaire How come I dint knnn...well shit hapinz !

Less I forget RIP.. Hope he's gotten a donation for Naija in his will too

Just admit that u didn't know him before his demise. He was a famous Nigerian billionaire before his death. ..so famous posthumously according to you is not true.

LatestTrend:
More than 75% of folks here don't know this man.

But why adding "Oluwo" ?

No spoil business for this man before God oo.

Vanity upon vanity.

JESUS IS COMING BACK.

The man will be happy with that wherever he is.

He has ever been a proud member of the Ogboni Cult.

Sabrwahaqqo:


Am not talking about a billionaire that is not reaching out well enough! Real wealth is not in what one can do for oneself don't you think?
That's why his money is so silent someone like me don't even know he exists! Imaging, A Dantata an Indimi that isn't as rich commands my respect and recognition just because they invested their money in so many's life through their biznesses . That 's what I call wealth mehn!

Dantata and most of the Nigerian billionaires you hear of are not rich...

They used the government to make money due to oil blocks they got..

Take away their oil blocks and see how quickly they'll go broke...

Its Southern Nigeria's money..

If only money could buy life.....soon it will, very soon
