^^^Why you say so? Is it because of all the many ethnic groups in Nigeria, only Fulani and Yoruba are featured?

Methinks the list is a true representation of what's on ground!

[size=25pt]Where are the SE and SS billionaires with their oil money?[/size]

ezeagu:


But there's no oil is the "South east" now.

The wealth is more shared out in those areas resulting in higher human development. There may be 100 billionaires in the north for example but there's 100,000 millionaires in the south.

speedyGonzales:


Haha! Excuses and propaganda! I pretty sure the are oil facilities through the SE, weather the is oil now or Not.
There was oil they at some point!

ezeagu:


That's not really the point anyway, I've partly explained why there are more billionaires in places like northern Nigeria. Another is the structure of the society, in the north and west their societies are a lot more structured and many of this is because of their strong kingship/rulership systems which also lead to many aristocratic families sucking up the wealth of a community, or even owning the whole community and rendering the people serfs. This is not the case in especially Igbo culture where a system of individualism is still very strong (which is why there are multiple 'south east' threads for every Igbo state). People often mistake the individualism for weakness or disunity, but the fundamental idea that everybody is equal (well except osu and slaves in the past) is what has lead there to be more trust, less hierarchy, and which leads to less billionaires.

The 'koko' isn't billionaires, because some worser off countries have more billionaires than some trillion dollar economies, it's about HDI and per capita income.

there is nothing too complicated to rationalize here, Russia has oil, you can see russian oil billionaires ... Arabs have oil, you can also see Arab oil billionaires... etc! the same is not true for the this case!

ezeagu:


Answer this question, is the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Russia a standard for human development and rights? Those Arab countries managed to keep hold of their resources, but their countries are built with slave labour from India. Russia is well known to be an oligarchy. You should have used the US, UK, and Canada, but that would not fit your point.
