Since inception, he has remained the Chairman spearheading new business development and providing leadership on strategy and stakeholder relationships. Under his leadership, the company has become a highly reputable Nigerian Independent recording several milestones comprising successfully closing landmark acquisitions, growing the company’s oil and gas production exponentially and becoming a well-run company with strong and transparent governance.

Consolidating his firm commitment to philanthropy, he founded the Daniel Orjiako Memorial Foundation (‘‘DOMF’’) in 1996 in honour of his late father, Chief Daniel O. Orjiako.

So when you say Obijackson is the richest Igbo man, where will u place Arthur Eze? Even Emeka Offor who has about 2billion worth of cars in Garage is not as rich as Arthur Eze....

Hedonisst:


Obijackson is bigger than Tonimas and Uche Ogah put together. He is in the top 5 in Igbo land. No loud am too much. Leave story.

why IBO like to make mouth other tribe got money but Neva shouted

Oranto Petroleum, the Pan-African oil exploration and Production Company owned by Nigerian multi-millionaire Prince Arthur Eze, is constructing two primary schools in Yirol and Rumbek communities in central South Sudan.
Oranto, which has its headquarters in Nigeria, will spend more than $800,000 on the project as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programmes. The construction will be handled by Dynamic Supplies and Construction Limited, an indigenous contractor.

Last year, South Sudan’s Ministry of Petroleum awarded the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreements for Block B3 to Oranto Petroleum. Oranto completed data acquisition on Block B3 in the second quarter of 2017 and is currently in the data interpretation stage. Block B3, which encompasses 24,415-square kilometer acreage, is believed to be highly prospective, with productive parts of the Muglad Basin to the northwest and estimated reserves in place of more than 3 billion barrels of oil.

Oranto Petroleum is one of Africa’s largest privately owned exploration and production companies. The company owns 22 oil and gas licenses in 11 jurisdictions, including producing assets in Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea.

has he done any significant project in the east?

Foolishbuhari:


Bro I know you think the Forbes list actually contains the richest of the rich but it's a false claim Bro. I currently know a woman in the US who's a billionaire in dollars but she's fighting tooth and nail to make sure no one knows her and her worth. This lady is worth over 200 billion dollars and she has even gone the length of using paymasters to hide her wealth.

Again I never knew there were trillionaires in dollars but current business dealings and exposure through this same woman have made me know there are and these men hide from public glare with the same desperation you have to breath fresh air LOL

So a person may choose to be very low key Bro just for his own name and safety. As our people would say, na yam when dey come out from ground nai dem dey use sand cover oo

Buhahahaha

zlantanfan:
I know bro, people who like privacy won't enlist on global stock (the process alone is strenuous and expensive).

My point was they claim the guy is low key but I insist he wouldn't have bothered putting 3 companies on public IPO if he wanted low key.


Yes apple is worth a trillion dollars (because it is on public stock) but the Saudi oil firm amarco reportedly earns more than apple but it didn't go public cos of shady deals.


Majority of genuine business wish to go public, only few honest ones want privacy the rest are just shady

I feel you on your first point Bro and about the trillions and Apple, I was actually not referring to a brand but a family; yes these guys are a Chinese family! Amazing right?

Foolishbuhari:

OK, I was referring to a brand and individual share holder stake.


Yes indeed their are some who don't go public and richer than bezos but if you check many its either tax fraud, shady deals, and other notorious activities they practice in disguise of business that scares them.

Are you sure? Cosmas is the 2nd richest ibo man after ouk.but i don't know any of his businesses apart from coscharis

Nobody is talking about Tony Elumelu, can he make top 10?

Ilovemystate:

Noted. What about Whilxith Cheetaachi the world best nurse/programmer, can he make top 1 in the future??

God only you can bless me to surpass the riches of these men, to the extent that even the rich in the society will use me as a compass to measure and define a wealthy man ...

BolaAdeyemo:
I don't see how this thread concerns you,I kmow your type you are here to cause a rift between igbo and yoruba
as the title clearly states "richest igbo man" not richest Nigerian or African so leave the thread for them

YOU OVERSTAND...cheers

ChristianNorth:
Obijackson is rich, but he is not even top 10 in Anambra talk more of Igbos.

Tonimas has one of the largest network of petrol stations in Nigeria but nobody know am for Nnewi, not Anambra ooh.

Uche Ogah of Masters Energy is the largest importer of kerosene in Nigeria, but he is small boy for Igbo land. He can't compete with Tonimas.

Let us know the big boys in igbo and their rank with others in nigeria and among blacks.

Asshurbanipall:
I think Arthur is overhyped. What does that guy have except political patronage. He may have had money in the 90s but not anymore. Arthur is overhyped sincerely, there is nothing to his name except noise and drama

That means you don't know about Arthur.
What is Arthur doing with political patronage when he no longer has any business concern in Nigeria or can you name any?Triax airline n co have folded since naa.
Arthur has interests/oil wells in all these small African countries that discovered oil in the 90s till today and even in Texas too.

I remember a story one of his PAs told of how they were approaching an airport in south Sudan n they could see bullets fly from the air.
The PA n pilot were of the opinion they should turn n flee but the old man calmly told the pilot to go ahead and land.

"In May last year, the Chairman, Obijackson Group, Dr Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi, said the group had yet to repay the $558m bank loan used to acquire 45 per cent interest in Oil Mining Lease 42 from Shell, Total and Agip Joint Venture in 2011, through which its upstream subsidiary, Neconde Energy Limited, was created."
