amiskurie: ^^^Why you say so? Is it because of all the many ethnic groups in Nigeria, only Fulani and Yoruba are featured? Methinks the list is a true representation of what's on ground! 82 Likes 2 Shares |

And what happened to Jim Ovia? He was worth some $800 M a few months back...all his worth isn't tied just to Zenith Bank. He must be having it really rough. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: List Of Nigerian Billionaires - Forbes by ezeagu(m): 5:41pm On Nov 18, 2015 |
speedyGonzales: But there's no oil in the "South east" now. The wealth is more shared out in those areas resulting in higher human development. There may be 20 billionaires in the north for example but there's 100,000 millionaires in the south. The 'koko' isn't billionaires, because some worser off countries have more billionaires than some trillion dollar economies, it's about HDI and per capita income. https://www.nairaland.com/2698050/nigeria-holding-back-south-east 123 Likes 4 Shares |

speedyGonzales: That's not really the point anyway, I've partly explained why there are more billionaires in places like northern Nigeria. Another is the structure of the society, in the north and west their societies are a lot more structured and many of this is because of their strong kingship/rulership systems which also lead to many aristocratic families sucking up the wealth of a community, or even owning the whole community and rendering the people serfs. This is not the case in especially Igbo culture where a system of individualism is still very strong (which is why there are multiple 'south east' threads for every Igbo state). People often mistake the individualism for weakness or disunity, but the fundamental idea that everybody is equal (well except osu and slaves in the past) is what has lead there to be more trust, less hierarchy, and which leads to less billionaires. 82 Likes 2 Shares |

ezeagu: There's actually an Igbo billionaire and I wonder why Igbos don't talk about him: http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/05/apple-buys-a-nigerian-owned-ict-firm-for-1-billion/ Unless the money was shared by its members. There are several ways to acquire billions, not just by oil. 1 Like |

speedyGonzales: Answer this question, is the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Russia a standard for human development and rights? Those Arab countries managed to keep hold of their resources, but their countries are built with slave labour from India. Russia is well known to be an oligarchy. You should have used the US, UK, and Canada, but that would not fit your point. 30 Likes |
