basilo101:
igbo and yoruba combination will overtake USA as world power. The yoruba media have tried to paint igbos as traders who only do buying and selling in open markets and streets but any list like this one always prove them wrong. if only the almajiri and agberos could learn trading, nigeria would have been better

phantom:
I had previously mentioned that for This country to industrialize ,it must look to the east..i was partially right!

For This country to industrialize,it MUST look to not just the EAST but also the WEST.

God punish the People (and their linages) who have continued to Play our ethnic differences against us.

If we have leaders who understand the strenght in our differences,This country would be at the top calling the shots with the US,china ,the UK and Japan.

Take a look at People who have placed This country on the World map for positive things and you see an equal Mix of yorubas and igbos. Fact! (even in negative things,both tribes contribute equally )

I believe that we must look to the east if we must build our manufacturing sector BUT we must also look to the west for administrative skills to grow those companies...
a Perfect combination if you ask me!

Flyoruboy:


There are also 9 Yorubas there too so calm down. Opeke, Tayo, seriki, Adenuga, Olaniran, Jegede, Akindele, Odefuye, Adewunmi.

Besides, Adenuga and Opeke alone will swallow up the rest of them in terms of value.

Flyoruboy:


And how many rich Hausa or Yorubas do you know? Hiw many of those people you listed get money reach Dangote or Adenuga? Smh for you. When it comes to "di.ck measuring"/wealth comparison, Yorubas will always floor you people no matter how much mouth or noise you make. Forbes has made it easy for us all to ascertain who is worth what and how much so go back to bed.

Flyoruboy:


Guy relax. Igbos will hold theirs anytime in a lot of fields which is highly commendable. The only problem I see with the group is their rabid superiority complex. They are no less nor better than anybody else. The SS, especially the AKS/Cross Rivers Axis, is also well represented on this Tech list with Essien , Editi, and Abasiama, especially when you consider their relatively smaller population. Sim Shagata represents Plateau/North which isn't too encouraging coz the North could definitely do better. A breakdown of the list shows 3 SS, 8 SE, 9 SW, and 1 North.

FKO81:

Paying to be listed in forbes magazine doesn't make you the richest Ode! What I listed are just few Igbo rich men

BuddahMonk:


Igbo people hold no superiority complex over anybody but your attitude to towards an igboman shows your desperate to catch up with him.

When Nigeria government said kids in Igboland will score highest to gain admission don't you think they are subconsciously making you inferior to Igbos

Flyoruboy:


[s]You be Ode paraku. Dangote and Adenuga are both 1 and 2 in Nigeria and Africa, and if you don't like that then you can go and hang or better yet go and bribe Forbes to add your own preferred list of igbo men. You sound so ignorant coz if in your little world everything must revolve around igbos. According to your warped logic, Orji kalu sef and other igbos on Forbes must've also bribed Forbes abi? Smh for you.

sdindan:

Dude leave us the Igbos alone
Ogini?
Igbo this Igbo that
Do u know that the civil war took the Igbos 3yrs backward.
Those yrs other regions in Nigeria was going to school and doing their business but the Igbos was on standstill.
So after that they still meet the Yoruba at the top.
Ask yourself if ur region were the south East how will u pple coped?
Well I understand ur envy.

Flyoruboy:


Yinmu. The guy I responded to was the one who mentioned me so calm the fvck down. So whose fault is it that the Igbos instigated a war they ended up losing? Are they the only group that has recovered from war? Japan and Germany suffered worse humiliation and defeat, South Korea also survived a civil war and they have all moved on and are thriving today so quit sulking. There's nothing special about Igbos condition since the war. Nigeria has tried to reintegrate them since the civil war ended. If Yorubas were in igbo shoes we would also have no choice than to rebuild and move on with life, so get off your high horses and quit spamming my mention.

I can see how you have rebuilt your cities after colonial masters left, compare mr re builder!
1 Ibadan
2 Abeokuta
3 Onitsha
4 Enugu

asha80:
you can talk anything you want but don't compare Germany that was rebuilt by allied forces after the war to what happened to igbos after civil war in nigeria..south Korea was left on its own to develop with backing from usa..i am sure you were not talking a
bout north korea

Flyoruboy:


Poppycock! Context, please. Nigeria clearly did not have the resources of the U.S to have embarked on a similar "Marshall plan" to reconstruct your region. Gowon may not have satisfied you all with the amount of attention y'all expected, considering how many other states and underdeveloped parts of the country were and are still begging for attention at the sane time. After all, the SE region was fully reintegrated back into the fold politically as your kinsman became VP and used the influence of that office to divert some development to that region. Besides, your states also receive monthly federal allocation so what are we talking about?

asha80:
in 1973 gowon was quoted as saying 'money is not nigeria's problem but how to spend it'...google it...so much for there was no money..always fibd excuses for our leaders
