wicked.

I can't see no pastor on the list!

Some pastors are very rich,I mean "very rich"

Dangote again the great monopolistic ruthless capitalist of our time aided by some dangerous and wicked politicians in Nigeria.

Politicians are gradually buying Nigeria, they loot and loot then use dangote as a front for their investments. If not which reasonable country would put almost the entire economy of the country in the hands of an individual? Only in Nigeria.

You even hear govt officials saying if dangote completes his refinery that would be the end of fuel scarcity, so Nigerians have to wait for one man to build his refinery before we enjoy our fuel.
Nigeria is finished.

One day one day....

That list is grossly distorted and unreliable. It does not consider current economic status of Nigeria and was carelessly quoted from outdated information. Dangote and other Nigerian magnates' net worth had dwindled due to a crash on a Naira and most significantly recession.

Apparently, you didn't read the post. Dangote lost $4.3 billion for the same reason you gave and that was Forbes' rating as of Sept 12. If Forbes is 'grossly distorted and unreliable' with respect to net worth analysis, I wonder which other site you have to recommend.

Here in konews we bring you the richest men in Africa. Forbes have release the list of the top 23 richest in Africa. Base on the list which was release by Forbes, in the list three Nigerian was listed among the 23 Africa Billionaires list. While Dangote retaining the throne for 7th year in row with $12.2 billion. The other two Nigerian are Glo owner Mike Adenuga with $5.3 billion and oli magnate Folorunsh Alakija
