When the term 'billionaire' pops up in Nigeria, it is easy to refer to the likes of Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga or Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. However there are some Nigerian billionaires you might not know that keep things on a low key.

See the list below of some silent Nigerians you just might not have heard of in no particular order.

Bro, not everything a billionaire ventured into made a hit. And even those ventures that became successful, it probably wasn't the first time they did it. So relax and learn.

God help us all. Cos I ain't leaving this earth without being a multi-millionaire at least, by His grace.

Ranchhoddas:
Heartless and wicked!

Who?

They are not really what we would say "silent" billionaires... everyone knows they are stinkingly rich!

Jimoh Ibrahim was one of the accused who diverted fg bailout funds for aircrafts owners to personal used.He was also accused of other criminal dealings.He ought to be in jail by now.Most of these people have questionable wealth.

OP, I think in addition to FATE Foundation, Fola Adeola appears to be the brain behind MAINE ONE.

Also Mr Kolapo Lawson the former Ecobank Chairman and now the CEO of Lawson Corporation the Owner of Agbara Estate,Tecno Oil & Gas etc.He's a silent billionaire and philanthropist.
