We have more IGBOs in that than Yorubas, the first Yoruba man , Totit, that posted this list here cut the list at 21, to give the Yorubas more numbers, seeing there are more Igbos between 20- 30 of that list. The Yorubas treachery keep astonishing me.


Here we go again.
Must you add those from delta state? Must you edit to suit you ego?

The list isn't even about the number, it's about disputing and exposing ibo lies that they dominate their village grin

[/b]Widely reputed as the longest surviving and most resilient indigenous Nigerian bank, Wema Bank Plc has over the years, diligently offered a fully-fledged range of value-adding banking and financial advisory services to the Nigerian public.

Incorporated in 1945 as a Private Limited Liability Company (under the old name of [b]Agbomagbe
Bank Limited) and commencing banking operations in Nigeria the same year, Wema Bank later transformed into a Public Limited Company (PLC) in April 1987 and was listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in January 1990. On February 5, 2001, Wema Bank Plc was granted a universal banking licence by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), thus allowing the Bank provide the Nigerian public with diverse financial and business advisory services.

However, in 2009, the Bank underwent a strategic repositioning exercise spearheaded by a new management team that has seen its profile rise considerably which finally culminated into its taking a sound strategic decision to operate as a commercial Bank with regional Scope in South-South Nigeria, South-West Nigeria, Lagos and Abuja in 2011.

Note: Agbomagbe is the name of a royal ruling house in Iperu Remo Ogun State. Chief Matthew Okupe(Agbomagbe) is one of the founders.

The eastern enclave, like the Jews did in europe, played a fast one on Nigeria, grabbing the nerve centre of the Nigerian industry. As a popular saying in the economical field goes
" Give me control of the Nation's money supply and I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England". Our economy is based on two sectors, the Oil sector and the trade sector. The eastern elephants played a fast one on all regions by controlling the trade sector- also managed to control a stake in the oil sector.

According to Forbes 2014 ranking of the world's billionaires, Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote with a net worth of $25 billion is the world's richest black person.[1] The other Blacks on the list are Nigeria's Mike Adenuga with $4.6 billion,[2] American media mogul Oprah Winfrey and South African gold magnate Patrice Motsepe, each with $2.9 billion, Nigeria's Folorunsho Alakija with $2.5 billion, Nigeria's Abdulsmad Rabiu with $1.2 billion and Mo Ibrahim, a British billionaire of Sudanese Nubian ancestry,[3] who has been on the Forbes Billionaire list since 2008 and in 2012 had a net worth of $1.1 billion.[4]

From 2001 to 2003, Forbes listed American television network executive Bob Johnson as a billionaire,[5] but dropped him after his fortune was split in his divorce.[when?][6] He returned to Forbes Billionaire list in 2007 with a net worth of $1.1 billion. In 2008 Johnson's wealth dropped again, this time to approximately $1.0 billion [7] and by 2009 he fell off the list again. Nigerian petroleum executive Femi Otedola briefly emerged as a billionaire in 2009, but has not been listed in the following years.[8]

Multiracial billionaires with significant black ancestry have also been identified over the years. Saudi Arabian billionaire Mohammed Al Amoudi, of Hadhrami Yemeni and Ethiopian descent, has been on the Forbes billionaire list since 2002 and in 2012 had a net worth of $12.5 billion.[9] Michael Lee-Chin of Canada, who is Jamaican of Chinese and Black ancestry was on the list from 2001 to 2010, but dropped off in 2011.[10] In 2013 Isabel Dos Santos who is of both Black and Middle Eastern ancestry made the list with a $2 billion net worth.

Of all the above-mentioned billionaires identified by Forbes, only Oprah Winfrey qualified for Forbes 2009's list of the world's 20 most powerful billionaires, a list which considered not only wealth, but also market sway and political clout. Winfrey was considered especially powerful because of her influence on American consumer choices and her pivotal role in getting Barack Obama elected.[11]

Did i say the first Nigerian to win a gold medal or the first to win a medal?

Yes, Chioma Ajunwa is the First Nigerian to win a gold medal for Nigeria but she is not the first Nigeria to win a gold medal. fact]
She is the first Nigerian to have won an Olympic Gold medal. However the first Nigerian and Black African to have won a Gold medal in any sporting event is an Igboman.

Emmanuel Ifeajuna
Medal record
Men's athletics
Representing Nigeria
British Empire and Commonwealth Games
1954 Vancouver
High jump


Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna (1935–25 September 1967) was a Nigerian army major and high jumper . He was the first Black African to win a gold medal at an international sports event when he won at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. His winning mark and personal best of 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) was a games record and a British Empire record at the time.
An Igbo from Onitsha , he was a science graduate
University College of Ibadan and became involved in politics, later joining the military. He rose to the position of Major and was a conspirator and participant in the failed 1966 Nigerian coup d'état . He later returned to action in the Nigerian Civil War , fighting for Biafra , but was executed following a plot to agree a ceasefire with Nigeria and overthrow Emeka Ojukwu.

Life and career
High jumping


Born in Onitsha , he attended Dennis Memorial Grammar School in his home town and displayed the characteristics that would later define his life. He trained in the high jump under his games teacher, and he also took part in a protest that closed down the school for a term. He graduated from high school in 1951. Ilesa Grammar School also claims him as a past alumnus. This is disputed, although he did do summer school teaching at the institution.
The 1954 Nigerian Athletics Championships saw him establish himself among the nation's best high jumpers. A jump of 6 foot 5.5 inches (1.97 m) meant Ifeajuna was chosen to represent his country at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, alongside Nafiu Osagie .
Nigeria performed well internationally in the high jump in that period – Joshua Majekodunmi had been runner-up at the 1950 British Empire Games ,and three Nigerian jumpers made the top twenty at the 1952 Olympic high jump .
At the 1954 Games in Vancouver, he competed wearing only his left shoe yet managed to clear 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m), which was both a Games record and a British Empire record for the discipline. The resulting gold medal made him the first Black African to win at a major international sports competition. The high jump had an African sweep of the medals that year, with Uganda's
Patrick Etolu finishing behind Ifeajuna and Nigeria's Osagie taking third place. Ifeajuna received a hero's welcome upon his return to
Lagos and was paraded through the streets before speaking at a civic celebration. His image was later used for the front cover of a national exercise book for Nigerian students.

Politics and university

After his gold medal win, he ceased training in the high jump and did not return to the sport. He enrolled in a science degree at the University College of Ibadan in 1954 and became involved within the institution's student politics movement. While there he became close friends with Christopher Okigbo and J.P. Clark, both of whom would go on to become prominent Nigerian poets. Ifeajuna was also a close friend of Emeka Anyaoku , later Commonwealth Secretary-General . He was deeply involved in Ibadan's students' union and became the organisation's Director of Information, encouraging protests. He was affiliated with the Dynamic Party, led by mathematician Chike Obi . Uche Chukwumerije, a contemporary and later a senator, remembered Ifeajuna being active in political agitation, but also claims that he was less willing to be involved in the protests themselves. Clark also attested to this, citing the example of a protest over a student hostel shutdown. The shutdown was prompted by the manslaughter trial of Ben Obumselu , the student union president and friend of Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna organised the protests but was not present during the subsequent clashes.
Upon completion of his science degree he went into teaching, being posted at Ebenezer Anglican Grammar School in Abeokuta . Ifeajuna remained in regular contact with Okigbo, who also went on to teach, and the two continued to discuss revolutionary politics. This culminated in Ifeajuna leaving the teaching profession to join the army in 1960. He underwent training at Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot , United Kingdom. As a graduate, he rose quickly within the military ranks and reached the position of Major in January 1966. He was the brigade major
