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.

Ask Abia people what this guy did to Abia State. Such a person would not even be considered by any proper Igbo nationalist so I don't know why people are asking this same person who has entered the Forbes list by cheating and stealing from Igbo children to come and "invest" in the same lands he left barren. It is under this man that Aba became the urban disaster that it is now and which it is trying to recover from. He is the same one that funded the destabilisation of Abia through kidnapping because he failed to keep control of the other thief TA.

Please, talk better thing like how can the Igbo people collectively remove demons like Orji or use them to the advantage of the Igbo people in some kind of subversive way. This guy is simply worse than all your northern and so on so called enemies that you say are hindering your advancement.

When you see people bragging about Tinubu and Dangote as examples of progress in their region, that is when you know the caliber of person you are exchanging words with. Can you imagine an Abia person bragging about Orji Uzor Kalu, or an Anambra man bragging about the Uba family, both multi-billionaires? Poor peoples money? It is like Brunei people bragging about the sultans wealth. Isn't that a curse onto oneself?

Imagine converting all these cheddah to naira.

See my godparents on the list: Mike Adenuga and Madam Alakija . Mo ri yin eyin eyan mi.

Last weekend, me and Aliko Dango's nephew hung out.

Forget those hangouts abeg. At least, I'm also a Senator's nephew and I believe whoever hangs out with me would say he has hung out with a Senator's nephew not knowing that my pocket isn't that stable. No be all Dangote nephews get money is what I'm saying in essence.

amiskurie:

U also do not get me.



I'm waiting for that person that would.

TheAdvocate:


Now that's a huge lie. People like Emir of Kano Lamido Sanusi earns largely on state government patronage. No rulership in the North socks from any community fund. Am sure yu never visited the North. For example, Idon't stand up for any first class chief up North and yu don't lock shops up North because a Chief died.
All these are pronounced in the south than North.

bulldoza:

Abeg who understands what this troll is saying

ezeagu:


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

The wealth is more shared out in those areas resulting in higher human development. There may be 20 billionaires in the north for example but there's 100,000 millionaires in the south. 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.

And what happened to Jim Ovia? He was worth some $800 M a few months back...all his worth isn't tied just to Zenith Bank. He must be having it really rough.
