How do you call the wealth of the Igbos questionable when they obviously do not have any connection with the Government as such.

lol.

I think you have got it wrong.

Almost all the people on that forbes list have an attachment to various governments either present or past.

Holyman3:


The Igbos prefer that 100 people have 1 million each, than two men having 50 million each.
Thats why they are better off without Nigeria.
One Igbo man goes home, picks up a boy, teaches him business, settles him in six years and the boy starts his own business. In two years, he goes home and picks up more boys.
All them boys in Alaba and Trade fair did not just jump into a bus and come to Lagos.

Krismart:
Unfortunately the places our richest men come from are where d poorest ppl are

wisdom77:
Alhaji Putin is milking this country dry, Nigeria belongs to him, making a lot of profit without paying the commensurate tax, he collects FX from the CBN at N199 to $1 to establish cement companies in Africa, how can you explain that his 20MT Cement factory made more profit than any other factory in the world.

laprince:


somehow, their businesses are not so big. However, I notice that the Ibos have a better distribution of wealth than any other part of Nigeria.

Poverty in the east is not as severe as poverty in other regions. The Ibos have a hustling grace that moves them out of poverty line readily.

chigoizie7:




Lolz, guy, u re funny.


I don't know about other biafrans and how much they are worth.

But, ifeanyi uba recently staked his N500billion worth just to do a work for FGN.

If it is true about his worth, then, he should be $2.5billion @ official CBN rate of 199 per dollar.

And I know ifeanyi uba is not amongst the 10 richest biafrans.




Let's just say, igbos just like their money and investments the way it is.

igboboy3:


This is the undiluted GOSPEL!!

lookandlaff:



I didn't say he has 500b in assets, I dount the man is worth more than $200m net from legitimate operations, he is the one who said he has 500b in assets. What he didnt tell you is how much he is owing the banks (or Maduka or Amcon). Like i said people with real money dont brag about it. Dangote, Otedola, dont drive around in a convoy and police escorts, Fashola didnt go around blowing his siren because he knows he is the governor, you will find that it is the guy who was appointed special assistant to the governor (not even special adviser) that you will find with a convoy and siren in traffic. So next time you see someone in traffic blowing his siren in a convoy of vehicles, you know this is someone without REAL money or real power. Real money and real power has no need to brag. I can stake my life on it that Ifeanyi Ubah isn't worth anywhere near N500b he claims because when you get to that level of wealth you dont brag about it. A beautiful woman doesn't brag about her beauty because she knows she is beautiful. it's a classic mistake people make, the more you feel the need to shout/brag the less you really have or at the very least the more you tell the world about your insecurities.

Numbers don't lie. The richest in naij are forever Ijebus...no one is close.

stanvesco:

eyeview:

Another angry child. Concentrate on finding your virgin.

kolexy:


Where is Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu, Cosmas Maduka? These Forbes people are just plain lazy.

igboboy3:


Ya musta had too much to drink, mate.
The danjumas, shagayas and rasheeds will buy up ya ijebu land

ayoolanr:
Your list must be fake, no single biafran that built Nigeria's economy!

Chinom:



No problem bro. But we are talking real businessmen here, NOT co*ck suckers. Though I would agree with you that Adenuga is a shrewd businessman. He managed and invested the money he got very well...

Chinom:

Talking about numbers. On average, which group of people have the highest number of millionaires in Nigeria?. It's not about having one man on Forbes list and 20 million men on the Ojuelegba/Obalende agbero list.
What makes a people rich is the spread.

wristbangle:


I don't even know sef! Seems forbes are playing wayo becos igbos always claim to be the best brain in terms of business in Nigeria.

haul:


I was suprised also caused the last time I checked mike was at the 2-4bn mark! Approximately 10bn is a whooping mileage covered! And believe me, sources told me this week that the man just bought freshly 2 oil wells!

I can't help but feel grateful to my darling mother for giving me the ijebu blood that complement my osun brain! Osun are very smart and intelligent but not really business savvy but ijebus or the other hand are very business savvy! And believe when I told my mother I'm not searching for job she was like ahhhh! I said all I need was to raise few bucks and startup, I told her I'm not going to be keeping rlshp for the next 8yrs neither should she expect a child, you just have to be focus to get those cheddars! Though bootycalls are welcome!

seunt4ut:


There's difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur.

1wolex85:

If you believe Ubah is worth $2.5bill, you can believe anything!

SirShymexx:


Loool.

Please talk about folks on a recognised list, not noisemakers. Even the names look funny.

Three out of top four is no joke. That is 75% by a subgroup of a bigger ethnic group in a country of over 100 ethnic groups lool. If they were to increase the number to 10 - I know at least 2-3 Ijebu folks who will make the list. There is a reason why Ijebus were the first to spend money in naij and a reason why Ijebu money is like dirty money cos it is longer than Yao Ming.

Haters are gonna hate but always respect the numbers cos numbers don't lie. Respect our hustle looool.

Integrityfarms:
Please what does it take to appear on Forbes?

Please no one should mention hard work here because timber workers and cement loaders I don't think anyone works harder than them yet their names aren't here!

igboboy3:


The fact that the names look funny only indicate that you are not in the loop. What exactly was Alakija's hustle? She did the dirty and BAM she has an oil block.
All ya recognised lists are bollocks in the Nigerian context. The real heavy rollers don't want their names in the news because the government is all powerful and can use political power to grind them to powder. That is why dangote backs both APC and PDP; Buhari can make him a pauper.

ayoolanr:
Your list must be fake, no single biafran that built Nigeria's economy!

ladycomfort:
. Could you please explain?

Atmmachine:
Orji Uzor Kalu is not on that list ??
Nigga, you got to be kidding

MadCow1:
Interesting how no Igbo Man ever makes the Forbes list.






Anyone care to explain why?

odimbannamdi:
Before i clock 45, by God's grace, i will be on that list.

Amen

VirginFinder:


You are a pathetic human being! Bitter, jealous and envious!!
Would you be happy if someone spoke of your mum like that?
Wouldnt you like your like mum to be like Alakija?
Arent there ibos good enough to be 'fronts' or 'cocksucckers'?
Nonsense!
