NosoChic: My sweet mother........she raised 7 bold children even after she mysteriously lost her husband , with her little teaching salary.

ebamma: and is it my fault that your mother is a cutlass and as such is not worthy of imitation?

israel007: Put my mama's name there

ajoguegbe: Never trust any Forbes Africa report, unlike the US the guy does no research. He once wrote one funny piece on "the richest Nigerian pastors" Any person who knows even a little about Nigeria will know that that guy though a Nigerian knows little about his country and relies on hear say. Whereas I admire these women mention but in a true list of people to emulate, some of these people will not make the top 50 list. It all depends on who is ranking sha. The dude concentrated on fashion and beauty with one doctor. What happened to intellectuals and hardline entrepreneurs? What happened to Alakija, Chimamanda, Ngozi Iwealla, Oby Ezekwesili(Due process), etc

Keneeby: Prof. Dora Agunyili shud b on dat list. She is one of d greatest women we've had in this country.

vislabraye: What about Ngozo Okonjo Iweala ? Are these the only women achievers we have in a country of 160million ?

DICKtator: 1.Afrocandy not on your list

2. Maheeda

3.Cossy Ojiarkor

4.Tonto Dike

giles14: yoruba y ar u pple too full of urselfs,so no igbo or hausa and other tribal women to emulate?

ndidibabe: Why are you guys dragging your mums on the mud?

Keneeby: Prof. Dora Agunyili shud b on dat list. She is one of d greatest women we've had in this country.

Sunnidinho: If u read carefully, its about young women not old women.the problem with some is that the moment the content of a write up negates their expectation, they rush to the comment section writing rubbish. Some even said it should be s/west young women to emulate as if s/w isnt part of nigeria. Pls, get a life.

Abbey2sam: They are really worthy of emulation.....


This ola_orekurin pix.

claremont:
How many Nigerians can afford to charter her air ambulance service and/or even pay for medical treatment abroad?! This article makes it look like she is providing a humanitarian service, when she is obviously not. Her service caters for the high net worth individuals, most of whom are the same corrupt people responsible for the decay in our country.

The people who should be on this list are the Dora Akunyuli's, the Chimamanda's, the Oby Ezekwesilis e.t.c.

ichidodo: The title is misleading, since the sofisticated oluwa tribe have decided to rig the whole process entirely make them just go all the way,"Yoruba women to emulate" of course by the yoruba women folk

pandriod:

When Omotola Jalade was carefully selected ahead Genevieve as one of the MOST influential people on earth by Time Magazine, you cried blue murder.

Was Dora, Chimamanda and Oby working for free? Were they not getting paid for their Jobs? You ibos can't stand anything Yoruba but the sad fact is we are a million light years ahead of you.

Let me disappoint you again, the Forbes man of the year is still a Yoruba, the minister of agriculture; he was selected ahead of the worthless ibo ministers, including your thieving Stella oduah, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Give it up, there's practically nothing your bitterness could do. We are the best of best. We expect you to blame Awolowo for this one.

chucky234: First grade bad belle, na jealousy go kill you.

ngozievergreen:

So, what abt the awards the Igbo ministers have worn or is Forbes the only giver of awards.
Chimamanda alone is young and she is of international pedestal, in fact plays in the worlds stage, more than these wannabes.

pandriod:

Ibos are born to hate anything Yoruba, ironically they are all over our states looking for food.
