Nigeria's Top 50 Richest Billionaires by consultmartins(m): 11:09pm On Mar 15, 2010 |
For a long now, there has been a silent battle of who's who in Nigeria's. To quench the thirst for knowledge and put an end to this long time exaggeration, i decided to carry out an individual research. The comprehensive result of this research is what i want to share here on Nairaland. Most of these people decided to lie low and avoid the lime light of the Forbes ranking but they are billionaires by all standards. These men and women rich to the bone. I also want to let you know that if all these men should declare their assets to Forbes, it will raise some dust for some of them and it will also create a battle for the first position between them. The criteria for coming up with this information is this: 1. By the value of their shares held in quoted companies. 2. The size and market share of their companies 3. The number of companies they own and its assumed value 4. The market value of their company's brand 5. Their political activities, leverage and shrewdness Below are the movers and shakers 1. Aliko Dangote: Owner of Dangote Group and Forbes richest black man. 2. Dr Mike Adenuga: A Silent humble Billionaire, Chairman, Globacom, Equitorial Trust Bank, Conoil and others. 3.

Most of the men on that list of top 50 made their money genuinely. They worked very hard for their money. Men such as Mike Adenuga, Cosmos Maduka and few others. These men started from nothing and built mega empires. Such men inspire me. I don't know about you. 6 Likes |

You mentioned a lot of people that their money strength is no longer the way it used to be. Chief O.B Lulu Briggs the owner of several oil blocks and founder Moni Pulo oil and Gas. He is one of the richest if not the richest man in south south Nigeria. But very humble and humane. 1 Like |

This list is bunkum. When next you want to post names for richest nigerians, pls and pls exclude this idiotic politician. They are thieves and we all know that. When you want to make a list like this pls and pls make a proper research and not this lackluster one here. Nigerian politicians aint billionaires, they are sophisticated armed robbers but all the same, armed robber na armed robber. Ask yourslf how could Obj have about 180bn? Haha. Fink |

Why have people decided to shut the guy down? He took his time to make the list up and you all complain. Yet you pick up Forbes magazine . Before you ask, yes Forbes include fraudsters and embezzlers like Roman Abramovich and ruthless business men like Carlos Slim before you argue with me do your research. The world is not bothered about how you get your wealth, the list is about how much people are worth. Politicians are the same all around the world, Tony and Cherie Blair are worth an estimated £60m. Tony Blair is costing British taxpayers £6 million a year for his personal protection and Shell controls our oil wealth to suit them. Instead of worrying about the injustice around the world or better still ignore and make a life. We moan moan moan. Good luck to everyone. 2 Likes |

actually it does put food on many pple's table, as many R employed and empowered by these rich pple. pple should now that not all is designed to be rich. yes, to be comfortable and in good health, but not to be rich. so when there are list like this of wealthy pple; some ill gotten and some not, only God knows, pple sholud not go condeming and acting like hatteeeeeers if not they will never smell the goodness of money and wealth in their existence in this world. wealth and richness is a game. you should see how its being played, you will marvel @ their way of life. should you not have the heart for it, you either take to your heels and be sideline watcher or go on full scale. As me, i work, i feed myself and others around me, happy by the day and await the judgement of God. so dont be a hatter of wealth and rich pple. be happy for them or pity them as they have so much burden on their shoulders more than you can image |

Thanks for the list @poster but seriosly all of them don't inspire me because they are not humanitarians. What is the use of their money to us if they can't help the poor and needy? . With or without proof most of them made their money and names by embezzlement. |
