You guys dont know how to properly sample data at all.

You have to first partition into regions, then states, then locality.


In Western region for instance the state with highest number of wealthy individuals is Ogun State.

In Northern region the state with highest number of wealthy individuals is Kano State.

In Eastern region the state with higheat number of wealthy individuals is Delta State.

Delta, Eastern region??

The kind of thing one does to kill boredom...

These states should feature among the top ten.

1. Anambra. The state is teeming with moneybags and hard-punching moguls wherever you look. Innocent Chukwuma is at the top of the vast Nnewi billionaire club while the likes of Ernest Azudialu and Ifeanyi Uba rank among Nigeria's wealthiest men.

2. Kano State. This is the traditional seat of northern money empire. The Dangotes, the Mutallabs, the Abdulsamabs need no introduction.

3. Ogun State: The state with the highest concentration of boardroom kings in Nigeria. Roll call: the Adenugas, the Otudekos, the Otedolas, the Akandes...

4. Delta State: Preponderance of corporate czars. The list include the likes of Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Nduka Obaigbena, the Ibru dynasty and others.

5. Imo State. A state worth its weight in gold in producing men of stupendous means but more or less overlooked.
Most people may not know that Tony Ezenna of Orange Drugs, Leo Stan Eke of Zinox and Pascal Dozie are from Imo State. There are also several billionaires especially from the Orlu axis of the state who hardly crave media popularity.

Anyway, does any one know the state Alakija comes from?

Folorunsho Alakija was born in Ikorodu, Lagos State.

She and her younger sister were sent to school abroad when she was 7 years old. They went to a school in Wales, a private school for girls in Northern Wales, and they were the only coloured (black) girls in the school.

Forbes just released the list of Africa’s richest people and with no surprise our very own Aliko Dangote is at the top of the list.

Nigeria also beats South Africa for the first time since the inception of Forbes Richest people in Africa by claiming 13 spots on the list while South Africa has claims to 11 spots.

Nigeria produced two new comers to the list of Africa’s richest Orji Uzor Kalu and Tony Elumelu and three new billionaires: Theophilus Danjuma, Uzor Kalu and Tony Elumelu.

Abdulsamad Rabiu left the Billionaires club as he dropped beow $1 billion due to ceased operations at his floating cement terminal in Nigeria

Nigeria’s Sani Bello was on the list last year but he fell from the ranks of Africa’s richest in 2014.

He recently sold his shares in a Nigerian oil exploration firm and stepped down as director of the company.

His Sani Bello foundation provides small loans and grants to young Nigerian entrepreneurs. His estimated worth, which was $500 million on 2013, fell below $400 million this year

The oldest person on the list is 75 – Theophilus Danjuma. The youngest is Femi Odetola, age 48. There is only one woman on the list

Net Worth: $550 Million (As of November 2014)

Rank In Nigeria: #13

Rank In Africa: #46 (#33 in 2013)

Rank In Africa: #41 (#34 in 2013)

His father was the gynecologist to the family of former Nigerian military president Ibrahim Babangida. Through that connection, he was able to secure a job as a Special Assistant to the Presidential Adviser on petroleum and energy and later as Special Assistant to the Minister of Petroleum and Energy, positions which he admits put him in a position to close on a few oil deals from where he made his first fortune.

In 1998, he acquired a controlling stake in the United Bank For Africa, but was ousted out by the Central Bank in the wake of allegations of fraudulent practices orchestrated by him.

He also owns First Securities Discount House, a money markets and Treasury bill trading and financial services firm in Nigeria.

BUA Group operates two cement plants in Nigeria and reportedly spent $500 million for a new cement plant in Nigeria’s Edo State that is expected to open in early 2015.

Rabiu, the son of a businessman, set up his own business in 1988, importing rice, sugar and edible oils as well as iron and steel rods.

Otedola is the controlling shareholder of Forte Oil, with a 75% stake. The company owns gas stations and fuel storage depots and manufactures its own line of engine oils.

Forte said its shares rose earlier in 2014 on account of new investments in power generation and distribution.

Rank In Africa: #26 (Newcomer)

Orji Uzor Kalu is new to Forbes list of Africa’s 50 Richest this year.

3. Folorunsho Alakija

Net Worth: $2.5 Billion

Rank In Nigeria: #3

Rank in Africa: #12 (#13 in 2013)

Folorunsho is the only woman on the list and the second richest woman in Africa.

Folorunsho Alakija’s winding path to becoming the second richest woman in Africa began in London, where she pursued secretarial studies and fashion design as a young woman. (She and her sister were reportedly the only two of her father’s 52 children sent abroad to study).

After returning to Nigeria to work as an executive secretary for several corporations, including the former First National Bank of Chicago, she founded her own tailoring company, Supreme Stitches.

With clients such as former first lady Maryam Babandiga, her company quickly rose to prominence among Nigeria’s high society.

Her closeness with Babandiga proved even more valuable when the Ministry of Energy approved her oil prospecting license in 1993, granting her a lucrative block in Nigeria’s coastal waters. Famfa Oil, which she controls, now holds a 60% stake in the oil field. It pumps about 200,000 barrels a day.

Alakija continues to work toward a better future for Nigeria. In 2008, she founded The Rose of Sharon Foundation, which works to help widows and orphans.

In July 2014, she pledged to donate $4.5 million to the Victims Support Fund, an initiative spearheaded by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, aimed at providing relief for those who have been adversely affected by insurgency in Nigeria over the last few years.

Rank in Africa: #6 (#5 in 2013)

Mike Adenuga is Nigeria’s second richest man, thanks to savvy investments in mobile telecom and oil production.

In 2003, he founded Globacom, which now has more than 27 million subscribers in Nigeria, making it the second largest mobile phone network company in the country after South African giant MTN.

Adenuga is also the founder of oil exploration firm Conoil Producing, which owns at least 3 producing oil blocks and is exploring for oil on 4 others.

Adenuga made his first fortune trading lace and Coca-Cola after returning from his studies in the United States.

He made key friendships with top Nigerian military personnel and earned lucrative state contracts along the way.

1. Aliko Dangote

Net Worth: $21.6 Billion

Rank In Nigeria: #1

Rank in Africa: #1 (#1 in 2013)

Heralded by some as the face of the new Nigeria, Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, is looking beyond cement, sugar and flour — the three commodities that built his fortune — to the oil business.

In April he announced $9 billion in financing from a consortium of local and international lenders to construct a private oil refinery and fertilizer and petrochemical complex in the country.

In August he said he would invest $1 billion in commercial rice farming and modern rice mills.

His publicly traded Dangote Cement is also grabbing new markets in Africa, with $750 million in new plants planned for Kenya and Niger.

He made his first fortune more than three decades ago when he started trading commodities with a loan from his powerful uncle.

I think Anambra, Ogun, Delta, Kano, Abia and others.
We are not talking about a state where 15 or 20 individuals stick out as money bags amongst the teeming poor.
In Anambra you can count the moneybags in their thousands.Nnewi town alone has over 50 billionaire business
men and women and other towns have theirs as well.
IMHO I think Anambra takes the lead as the state with the highest number of indigenous billionaires in Nigeria.
Those blood money business men in the east who only front a small shop.

Anambra will have more than 20 dollar billionaires, and over a thousand dollar millionaires most of whom don't make noise. Nnewi alone will have up to five dollar billionaires.

There is no way Kano will be able to outrank Anambra in this list, in spite of the presence of Dangote
We are talking of money that can be declare not blood money n drug pushers money.
