Who Is The Richest Igbo Man On God's Green Planet? by searchcorp(m): 9:02am On May 04, 2013
We can arguably say that the Richest Yoruba man is Michael Adenuga, excluding Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (You know why i am excluding him nah, or don't you?). In the same vein we can also say that the Richest Hausa Man is Aliko Dangote, excluding (Mariam Abacha and/or Gen Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda (RTD), you also know why they are been excluded, abi?)

But then who is the Richest Ibo man in your own opinion,

Emeka Ofor's Cousin, who happens to be a friend of mine, who in fact is the reason i am starting up this thread. The Guy, Edu, believes his cousin Emeka Ofor is the richest Ibo Man on God's Green Planet. Well, if you are an Ibo man, then your guess is as good as mine, I don't agree with him!

we have Men like Chikason, Innoson, Obi Jackson, Peter Obi, Arthur Eze, Ibeto, Nnamdi Chime, Tonimas, Chisco, Ifeanyi Uba, Andy Uba, Chris Uba, Ezenwenyi Obinna etc.

I would love to know you in your honest and arguable opinion who you think it is, please also be kind enough to tell me what they do.

Well, you know how it is with the ibos they usually have chains of businesses
Chikason - multiple investments from vegetable oil, noodles, to even motorcycle assemblage.
Innoson - Popularly known for his auto-mobile assembling plant.
Obi Jackson - Oil and Gas
Peter Obi - Learnt he owns one of the highest shares in Fidelity bank, if not the highest.
Arthur Eze - Oil and Gas
Ibeto - Cement, and Oil and Gas
Nnamdi Chime - Sullivan Chime's first Son
Tonimas Oil and Gas; Tonimas Engine Oil(from Anambra though his investments are majorly in Aba)
Chisco - Transport
Ifeanyi Uba - Capital Oil
Andy Uba - invesments in oil and gas as well as some other sectors i know nothing about
Orji Uzor Kalu - Airline in east africa, and some other businesses
Chris Uba - Friend of Government
Emeka Ofor - Friend of Government
Ezenwenyi Obinna - Massive investor in Media and publishing

PS: by Friend of Government, i mean loads of government contracts and/or favour.

I stand to be corrected in any of my findings though.

Emeka ofor might be the richest,bt his investments can not be seen unlike people like ibeto who deals on oil and gas as well as ibeto cement,andy uba's wealth might has depreciated since he left politics.innoson is still a starter thou he has made giant strides in auto-mobile assembling plant.peter obi is a politician(we all no how he got his moni)ifeanyi uba is another stronge name,known for his investment in oil and gas (capital oil),well emeka ofor and ifeanyi uba is the top two bt I will give it emeka ofor.

Orji uzor kalu ranks 10th.. while Emeka OFOr came 42nd and Rochas 44th.
So iT implies that the riches igbo man is
PASCHAL DOZIE followed by uzor kalu.

Igbos have these trend of sharing their wealth among their kinsmen, that's why you have many rich men among them but very difficult to pinpoint the richest.

I say, Chinedu Echeruo. He sold his company (hopstop.com) to Apple for 1 billion USD, plus he has his hands in a lot of other ventures and it's clean money too. And it's clean money too - not stolen through politicking or owning oil concessions

Yes Chinedu sold the company for a billion dollars, but he mentioned he got rounds of funding, 20 million dollers was one of the finding given to him by venture capitalists. They will reclaim their money when the company is sold for a higher profit or when it goes public. Beats by dre was sold for 2 billion dollars but Dr Dre only got 600 million dollars as his stake clames. Chinedu might just have a lil fraction from it.
