If you can't make it at 30 under,you can still make it at 50 under 50 of which some of them here now,won't be there then.
The most important thing is to focus and work on your dream(s) if you actually have any.
I only respect those in the Business and technology categories,the other ones are roses in the scorching sun that would eventually dry off...
如果你不能在30歲以下，你仍然可以在50歲以下
其中一些人現在50人不會在那裡。
最重要的是專注和工作在你的夢想
如果你真的有任何。
我只尊重商業和技術方面的人員
其他的是烈日當中的玫瑰
最終會幹掉...

Among all the Nigerians that make the list na only Davido and Wizkid your eyes see?

agbarisocket:
imagine more than 15 yorubas on the list,no flat head like lizard there,but let news of cocaine or rape or heavy robbery break out now,my potopoto developer would dominate it,thanks

agbarisocket:
we yoruba rented our shop 4 flat head in lagos and they are shouting tthat they develop lagos, but history told me that FLAT HEAD was destroyed during war so they dont know specific their origin thats why most settle 4 lagos

lol... be there shouting "we" up and down. It's like you haven't heard the saying "every mallam with his kettle".

Those Yourba's that you're saying are on the list, is your name amoungs them?

I'm sure if they call top 10,000 Yourbas, you won't make the list. Because those 10,000 Yourbas are out there hustling & you're in here droping hate speech.

Be there and be claiming "we". Don't go and double your hustle.

Those men will NEVER share their wealth with you. Even though you're both Yourba's. That's the rule of life.

SMH... World people everywhere.

Jaideyone:
i feel your pain. if your people dominated the list you'll be shouting Igbo amaka but since it's the other way round you are trying hard to appear intelligent

Have you seen where i said such?
So please shut the fuxk up & keep scrolling.

BTW, you should know that there's a difference between saying Igbo amaka & dropping a hate speech about another tribe.

Also, I'm a graduate with a Masters degree in Computer Science. So I'm damn intelligent


Mind you, there are Igbos on that list. But you didn't see me talking trash about another tribe

K

Cool

Nice

I'm sure you're blind to see Igbo names there..
bigots like you need to be thrown in a dungeon

the list na competition between Nigeria and South Africa

this list doesn't reflect the reality of what is happening in Africa. Onitsha is the music, industrial, technological hub of Africa. In fact trump sent US army general's to come and buy spare parts for their fighter jets in Onitsha. Nnewi currently has the highest number of Nigerian billionaires under 30.
they are not on the list because they didn't send their networth to Forbes.

this country is so biased. that list has been influenced and rigged.

The list is afonja dominated because Obasanjo influenced Forbes - Anambralstson


*runs out of thread*

afonjas dominating with more than 80% of Nigerians on the list carrying afonja blood

waiting for our brothers to come and wail

Congrats to them and the other Nigerians who make up almost half of the list.
Respect to the tech guys, not that I don't appreciate the entertainers o.

Consolation, if na your people, you won't write rubbish. You wey dey talk, why your own name no dey?

Nigerians dey represent wella... Say No To Lazy Youths.

Don't put people of edo and delta as igbos. If we remove them, na just two igbos I see.

Omo Yoruba ni mio ...swagger!!
Empty barrel lo ma n chestbeat

Later, some people will come here to beat empty chest for us. See as Yoruba boys full there.

These people are so tribalistic! They just decided to favour the Yoruba. O ga o. �.

With all their development. Less than 3 of them are on the list
