The Igbos prefer that 100 people have 1 million each, than two men having 50 million each.
Thats why they are better off without Nigeria.
One Igbo man goes home, picks up a boy, teaches him business, settles him in six years and the boy starts his own business. In two years, he goes home and picks up more boys.
All them boys in Alaba and Trade fair did not just jump into a bus and come to Lagos.

Amen to that sir.


Nobody can argue with this fact at all..

What do this Billionaires do that we don't do?

I mean, how do they acquire so much wealth?

Does it mean they are the ones that husstle most?

Abi, na dem get brain pass?


And, Yes, life is not fair. how can it bless one person with so much wealth and let another person be as poor as church rat.?



Meanwhile, why is it that the ratio of rich men are higher than that of rich women?

Is it that God or luck favours men most?
There's your reason right there.

Alhaji Putin is milking this country dry, Nigeria belongs to him, making a lot of profit without paying the commensurate tax, he collects FX from the CBN at N199 to $1 to establish cement companies in Africa, how can you explain that his 20MT Cement factory made more profit than any other factory in the world.

smart work, not hard work. Create a picture in your mind that about the future you wish to have. When you speak, speak like you are confident that you're going to have those billions soon. Let it come from the depth of your heart. Finally, start something. No matter how small.

Hmm, all those guys made it wen d economy was good, I wonder how we youths will cope with Baba Bubu n all dis wayo

Just go back and read their History, you will realize that they did not waste their God-given energy/resources, insulting their President on Social media.

People like you end up becoming internet mis.creants since all you do is apply your time and energy towards denigrating your President, #Wailing over a silly #5,000 "campaign promise".....
Mis-directed Energy, is a waste of time! undecided

I will remind you to re-dedicate your brain to doing something "useful and productive".
That is how Dangotte, Adenuga, Otedola, Alakija, and the rest, got on that list.



BTW, did anyone notice that a particular set of our "noisy, boastful and chest-beating" brothers are not even anywhere near THE TOP of that list? shocked shocked
Yet, one of them wants to be "consultant" on how to make the Naira appreciate! How much Dollar im get sef? grin grin

It still doesnt change the amount of his wealth.

We could say that from the $100million to $1billion bracket, Igbos would dominate hands down. The Coscharis, Peace Mass, Orji Uzors, The Young, the Innosons.

Forbes should do their work well.

One cannot hate an Igbo man.
