Recently, I stumbled across the most recent list of top 30 richest Nigerians based on their total net worth. The ranking was compiled based on the following criteria:

By the value of their shares held in quoted companies.
The size and market share of their companies.
The number of companies they own and its assumed value.
The market value of their company’s brand.
The impact of their companies on the Nigerian economy.

The list is given below and the ethnic group of each individual and unexpectedly, Igbos were the majority on the list.

People, what are your take on this?

nice post

Dem try

Dangote, a Hausa/Fulani, from the North, undoubtedly, still makes the number 1 spot for richest Nigerians, together with a few other Northerners but I find it interesting to that there are more Igbos than other tribes making the list, which lends credence to the equitable distribution of wealth in Igbo land where wealth distribution is nearly almost equally distributed amongst everyone and there is an absence of financial extremities such a few very wealthy individuals and a greater pauperized remainder population.

I can only see abokí parasites reaping where they did not sow.

Is this for real

Where is Tony Elumelu?

Yet to see any Ijaw on your list

I weep for Nigerian youths. Instead of OP to be think of how to better his life, he is here computing a list of richest Nigerians and the region where they come from. Do you really think these guys know you exist? Enough of all these useless dick measuring. FYI, I'm an Igbo man and I don't give a sh.it about any Igbo man on that your yeye list.

and how does this list makes me one?

ifeanyi ubah, Raymond dokpesi? really?

Rich men noni. Op, u should have included their worth. But thanks for the insight

Where is d source of these useless list. A worthless compilation from an igbo.

List from where, considering the fact that most people on this list are involved in politics and shady deals within nigeria, I think it's rather not possible to reconcile there net worth

Raymond Dokpesi ke?
Op,you better go back to bed

Funny how the Igbos listed are mostly shady politicians, but he neglected to add shady Yoruba politicians like Tinubu, Obj etc to balance the list.

Shady lost compiled by an Igbo, I'm out.

Here's the link for those asking for link.

Mods, do the needful..front page pls

i know you're saying this because you see a lot more of Igbo names. Ask yourself why. Most Nigerians billionaires get their money from oil scams..remove that from the equation and you'll see less names. Would you be saying this if there were less igbos? What you would have said is "these chest beaters can't even reach us in money"..we all know you're a known tribalist.

@topic, most Igbos are expanding and thinking east..thank God for that. The more you hate the igbos, the higher they rise

Yet Folorusho, the richest black woman is not listed.

Hard to take your list seriously.

Even Davido's father is not listed, who is a billionaire is not in the list.

Who compiled this trashy list? No valid source.

I guess this is a feel good thread for Igbos, compiled by Igbos

shes on the list; no. 23. you keep mentioning oil fraudsters. Am even even surprised otedola is still high up on that list. Oando posted their biggest lost ever in their history this year. Watch as oil thieves faulter very soon. Op said the list is based on their products and its importance to the Nigerian market. Not subsidy scammers with unexplained wealth

People, what are your take on this?

my take is that you are a tribal eeedddiiiooottt

Is there a tribe bearing "delta igbo" in Nigeria?

pls, Wch other Igbo on that list that has held a political office that is not only Orji uzor kalu? The man is gearing to become next Fifa president, so you better stow that attitude

The is 1 of the lopesided & biased ratings that triggers tribalism & e-wars on Nairaland. The following people have no business being on that list.

Cosmos Maduka - Yes he's rich but I doubt if his networth is up to $200 Million.

Raymond Dokpesi - Like seriously? Dude Daar Communications is at the edge of Bankruptcy. Staffs are being owed up to 6month salaries.

Leo Stan Ekeh - Who tha f.uck is he? Is his networth up to $1 Billion?

Vincent Amaechi Obianodo - Dude you're crazy! I could as well include Davido's Father and the Olugbo of Ugboland in Ondo State - Oba Obateru Akinruntan [Obat Oil].

Tell me if any of these guys can match Otunba Subomi Balogun of FCMB in nethworth - A.sshole!
