@fstranger
You are a bloody fool, if you want to make comments, post something constructive instead of insulting one's tribe. You sound as if you were raised by gorrillas, its a wonder how you managed to get access to the internet.

fstranger3:


Thanks to Mike Adenuga, my brother from Ogun state who invested $1 billion on a submarine cable connecting Nigeria to the rest of the world.


Did I answer your question?  


Did I mention he is #597 on Forbes' richest list and that he is Yoruba, not Igbo, not Ibibio, no Eebo, not Heebo, not Arochukwu. Yoruba 100%.  Now, go get me some cappuccino from Emeka in Alaba, make sure it isnt adulterated Ok?

@fstranger  the fact that i said something in defence of the igbos doesn't mean i am one. i am from sw OKAY .this is the kind of nigeria we are talking of.A nigeria were someone can say the truth irrespective of tribe or religion and show respect for someones  tribe and religion.i pity your parents cos they think they have child not knowing they gave birth to a he goat, a dummy dumbdumb,  a dondy, niconpoop, scalyone, agbero, nonentity, barger, born by mistake, introvert,,fool and above all a nuisance to the society and large. oops i forgot that we are in lent .

Adenuga is 597 with a net worth of 2 billa
How come there is no Ibo on that list

I guess, like Nigeria, Forbes is discriminating against Ndigbo.
I think the Nigerian consulate in NY should protest. Where is Dora Akunyili when we really need her

We must not stand for this injustice

For being smarter and more astute than all the Igbo businessman,woman, child, grandfather combined, dead or alive.

Princek12:

You are a raccoon. Why do you have to resort to personal attacks? Because you cannot coherently raise a reasoned response to an assertion. You were the one who brought in  tribalism in the argument by suggesting Dangote is smarter than the Ibo people. I just made a general statement about how the lack of antitrust laws and nepotism has made him monopolize the markets he controls, a valid argument. You are a big fool.

haba,why does some people have to criticize Dangote for writing Nigeria's name in GOLD on a global scale?Well,we know their types!
They are people  whose father was busy criticizing when Dangote's uncle, DANTATA was making money
They are d people whose child will also be complaining when dangote's son will be making money
And the cycle continues like that!
What a WASTED GENERATION of critics!

@ Anti-scam  was there any need for this,  to drive home your point ,

if you want to get up Dangotes bum, why not send him a tweet rather than start to talk like say na d man dey Garri u and all the whole NL

nobody yap Dangote now, they just expressed their views and you came on cursing for no reason,  Oga please,  apologies

@ kalokalo , did you really post that, me I no really yap Dangote ooo. Do some research and not just write what is on the surface bro,

Anyone who thinks Dangote has not benefited 99.5% from monopolistic policies must be kidding or some sort.

I had my bro working @ Customs and Excise a few years back and he used to sigh, cos there was instruction 4rm the Presidency that Dangote should not pay import duty on all his business imports for a very long period of time. Abacha instructed and it went on for a long time,

This is just one of the very many Dangote has benefited from,, we also have the stock exchange saga of price irregularities at the xpexpencef Ndidi Okere bigging up your share price while she gains at the end,  We are all not Blind you know,  

Yes he has achieved some greatness but not without the help of the Government, Trust me on this, He his a BIG Fish no one can take on like Microsoft a few years back,

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet the Top rich guys of the world are giving back to Africa in Millions /Billion helping us to solve our very own problem Malaria,

I hope Dangote is doing his own bit,  No point gaining the world and all around you is dying,

Goodluck to him and congrats as well.

The Forbes List  though is highly influenced as well anyway, not really a White paper yard stick to measure wealth.

How come an igbo man is not on the list ?

Very good question !!!

Let's look clinically at how Nigerian billionaires are made .

Dangote ; he was an ordinary cement and rice importer until 1987 when the head of state - ibrahim Babangida banned the importation of rice in the country and after several months he allowed Dangote to import ships loads of cement .

Ever since then Dangote has been an AGIP = any govt in power ,he was so close to abacha that his younger brother died with Abachas son in a plane crash. He was part of the people who bankrolled OBJ first term, second term , the aborted third term and yaraduas term.

OBJ rewarded him and Otedola with PH refineries at give away prices.

Mike Adenuga; he is not as rich as people think he is , he is a front man for IBB and Atiku. CIL which later metamorphosed to GLo was started with some wrongly sindicated Govt fund from PTDF running into some millions of dollars , which was ordered to be deposited in. TIB ( a failed south west bank) by Atiku , later the same money was syndicated to Glo as loan by TIB, the EFCC upon hearing this looked the other way and today TIB is a failed bank.

Ever wondered why the PHCN and refineries don't work in nigeria, then you might be in for the biggest shock of your lives.
The Nigerian Billionaires bought over all the downstream petroleum companies Con oil, MRS, AP, these companies to stay afloat must import fuel in to the country and for the fuel to sell people must use generators and for people to use generators then the PHCN must not work.

Questions I have Nigerians

1 how come during OBJ's reign no serious attempt was made to put PHCN into good operation despite the fact that the Bola Ige (who died mysteriously planned as far back as 2001 to put NEPA in shape.

2 how come the refineries never worked in OBJ's tenure instead the petrol pump price increased from 70k to =N= 55

3 how come all the overnite billionaires: Dangote, Otedola,Jimoh ibrahim,Adenuga made their billions during OBJ's tenure

Is someone still reading ?

omo9ja1:

well I know Dangote might do some padi padi to make money, he was not a selfish millionaire that stole our money take it oversea while the poor Masses suffer, he invest most his money into Nigeria, gave people jobs and so on, if every Nigeria big thieves will emulate this patten there will be more jobs to the poor Masses

Dangote weldone!

chosen04:

Are we talking of same Dangote that his closeness to OBJ made the latter to close down IBETO's cement factory in PH so that the former who bankrolled his 1st and 2nd election can have undue advantage?

Was he not given same undue advantage in Sugar, Rice etc importation?

Are we so forgetful in this part of the world?

And who will have such advantage and not be on forbes list? . . . . . . . .Even a aboki and his malu would!
