I'd love to know your own take on which family has being consistently on the top 10 from the beginning of the 21st century and who they are and what they do and their value.
thanks,

2000-2010: Family in the news, not personality.
1, Babangida family: Recurring name in presidential aspiration; death of Maryam; Aisha's marriage to Zamfara guvnor
2, Yar'adua family: Not only by virtue of being the presidential family, but also the many mention of Turai and her dughters almsot on minute basis. Now Murtala, another family member is in teh news.
3, Saraki family: Son (Bukola) bestrides Nigeria's political firmament as one of the most influential personality; father(Olusola) still in the news as ever; daughter(Gbemisola) also always in the news, if not rumours of her gubernatorial ambition, her affairs in the Senate
4, Jonathan family:: Everybody knows Patience, not that active as she is. She is also sometimes in the news. The debate on who is teh First Lady between her and Turai when GJ ascended acting Presidency. Needless to talk about the husband.
5, Uba family: News, news, news everyday, if not on Andy, on Chris.
6, Ibru family: The family has always been in the news, but doubly so recently, thanks or no thanks to Cecilia. The whole family were in the news when they were also reported to have vowed to invoke their ancestors on Sanusi

The Kosovo and Seun family have also been in the news recently. . . so also have our mad brethren, Becomricch.

Why not try Ovation magazine - their devotion to psychophancy is unlimited.

Not surprised to see Mr Jarus here at all!!

Are you a budding biographer?

I would add yaraduas on their aswell

Tony Ezenna's Family-This is a Billionaire and also the Owner of Orange Drugs Limited, which produces toiletries and medecine.
Yaradua's Family- This was the former Katsina Governor and also the former president of Nigeria, his family is known to be one of wealth even before he went into Office.

These are the two that I know make their money honestly.

Baba, his daughter in house of Reps, his sons divorce case. Ha, if you don't include Mr. controversy, then you have not started.

3, Saraki family: Son (Bukola) bestrides Nigeria's political firmament as one of the most influential personality; father(Olusola) still in the news as ever; daughter(Gbemisola) also always in the news, if not rumours of her gubernatorial ambition, her affairs in the Senate

5, Uba family: News, news, news everyday, if not on Andy, on Chris! lol!
6, Ibru family: The family has always been in the news, but doubly so recently, thanks or no thanks to Cecilia. The whole family were in the news when they were also reported to have vowed to invoke their ancestors on Sanusi!
