There are three USD billionaires in Nigeria in 2023, according to the Forbes World’s Billionaires list. They are:

Aliko Dangote, with a net worth of $13.5 billion
Abdul Samad Rabiu, with a net worth of $6 billion
Mike Adenuga, with a net worth of $5.7 billion

Other former USD Billionaires such as Tony Elumelu (fmr. $1.4bn) and Funsho Alakija (fmr. $1.1bn) have been assumed kicked off the Forbes scale with the new Naira value in September 2023.

Dangote is the richest man in Africa, and he made his fortune in the cement and sugar industries. Rabiu is the founder of BUA Group, a conglomerate with interests in cement, sugar, and real estate. Adenuga is the founder of Globacom, Nigeria’s second-largest mobile phone operator.

Nigeria is the third-wealthiest country in Africa, after South Africa and Egypt. However, the country is also home to a large number of poor people. The World Bank estimates that over 40% of Nigerians live below the poverty line.

The Nigerian government is working to reduce poverty and inequality in the country. However, there are still many challenges to be faced, including high unemployment and corruption.

As much as I no gbadun Tinubu, Igbo pple should stfu! You pple are the most useless. You nvr blame ur own leaders, but are quick to accuse others. Your region lies in ruins, yet you get mouth dey abuse other pple. Mad pple.

LOVEALAIGBO:


NO....YOU need to STFU! Did your Tinubu steal the presidential mandate thinking it was all about flexing and junketing around the world....accepting no responsibility for what he has put Nigeria through from 2015 to date!? Fool, the buck stops on his table....and before him, the table of Buhari, so as you schmucks were quick to blame GEJ, you have no moral justification to demand a Nigerian shouldn't blame Tinubu! A Igbo man hasn't been head of state or president since 1966, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that no Igbo is being blamed as much as Buhari and Tinubu have been!

In a country that practices a unitary system of gov't in all but name, the president should expect to take a lot of the flack for the mess it's is in! The regions are not in control of their resources, their security or their destiny, so expect Tinbu to get more abuse for being useless, incompetent, bigoted, nepotistic and crooked!

What's your own state, let's compare it to any state in the south-east that you stupidly say 'lies in ruins'!?
