Who is the first Nigerian Internet millionaire in USD?

This is what Wikipedia has to say about Femi Abodunrin: Femi Abodunrin is a speaker, motivator and internet "hopeful" based in Lagos, Nigeria. His company had some problems with investors in his native Nigeria through the Netdom network and the use of the Internet.
Born in Offa, Kwara State, Nigeria in 1974, he had his primary education at Hordle House School, Hampshire, England.
His secondary education was at Mayflower School, Ogun State, Nigeria under Dr Tai Solarin where became the Senior Prefect Boy.
He obtained a degree in Estate Management from the Federal University of Technology, Akure where he became Students Union President.
It was at the Federal University of Technology, Akure that he started Netdom Network, his first company. He now renders online based services to people in Nigeria, Benin Republic, Malawi, Ghana and other African countries. No mention is made of his millions. Can you point us to a clue as to the fact that he ever made a million online? |

Do not get me wrong "smartsoft".
I have not said I don't believe he had "hammered" before. My point is, I need evidence to point to the fact that he had ever been rich from working online and I said no mention was made of his previous wealth, in that Wikipedia entry.
No harm in asking - is there?
Also, I never knew about this guy.

I don't know who the first internet entrepreneur is in Nigeria, but perhaps the question should be "Are there Nigerians online who are making millions (in USD) not Naira?", and the answer is an unequivocal YES. Here is proof of a company owned by a Nigerian (30 something year-old Nigerian) and I know their family well: Read it for yourself: http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/entrepreneur/2006/september/165976.html |

The other Nigerians mentioned by the previous posters are not Internet millionaires in USD |
