SirShymexx: No problem bro. But we are talking real businessmen here, NOT co*ck suckers. Though I would agree with you that Adenuga is a shrewd businessman. He managed and invested the money he got very well. As for Alakija,now that Miriam IBB is dead, she is 'home free'. She's got to be the luckiest tailor and hairdresser in the world.

igwe123: Really? Then you should laugh at yourself because you're truly the ignorant one in this case. You need to stop being delusional and get your head out of the fables you're living in. I'm feeling generous right now, so let me educate you a bit. The Forbes reference you made actually refers to company net worth as per company assets, not personal net worth, which is what we're dealing with here. Cosmas Maduka isn't a dollar billionaire, let that reality sink in okay. I wonder why people like you just think you can concoct imaginary figures and statistics from thin air and people owe you validation that you're accurate. Forbes is arguably the most internationally acclaimed credible provider of global wealth statistics or indices cut across different categories. Here's the list of 50 Richest Africans, in terms of personal net worth; and the first ibo man on that list is #31 Tony Elumelu, and even he isn't a $billionaire...yet. So, don't even dare talk of Cosmas Maduka. He might be a billionaire in naira, but he's not a dollar billionaire, or even anywhere close to it. The pure water seller still has a very long way to go to achieve such a feat. http://www.forbes.com/africa-billionaires/list/#tab:overall Rank Name Net Worth Age Origin of Wealth #1 Aliko Dangote $16.7 B 58 cement, sugar, flour #2 Nicky Oppenheimer $6.6 B 70 diamonds #3 Christoffel Wiese $6.5 B 74 retailing #4 Johann Rupert $6.3 B 65 luxury goods #5 King Mohammed VI $5.7 B 52 diversified #6 Nassef Sawiris $4.9 B 55 construction, chemicals #7 Mike Adenuga $3.5 B 62 telcom, oil #8 Isabel dos Santos $3.4 B 42 investments #9 Issad Rebrab $3.2 B 72 food #10 Naguib Sawiris $3 B 61 telecom #11 Mohamed Mansour $2.5 B 68 diversified #12 Othman Benjelloun $2.05 B 83 banking, insurance #13 Folorunsho Alakija $1.7 B 65 oil #13 Koos Bekker $1.7 B 63 media, investments #13 Youssef Mansour $1.7 B 70 diversified #16 Femi Otedola $1.6 B 53 gas stations #17 Onsi Sawiris $1.55 B 86 construction, telecom #18 Aziz Akhannouch $1.4 B 55 petroleum, diversified #18 Yasseen Mansour $1.4 B 54 diversified #20 Stephen Saad $1.2 B 51 pharmaceuticals #21 Mohammed Dewji $1.1 B 40 diversified #22 Patrice Motsepe $1.05 B 54 mining #23 Abdulsamad Rabiu $1 B 55 cement, sugar, flour #24 Jannie Mouton $970 M 69 financial services #25 Rostam Azizi $900 M 51 telecom, investments #26 Samih Sawiris $850 M 59 real estate, hotels #27 Mohamed Bensalah $800 M 45 financial services #27 Miloud Chaabi $800 M 87 diversified #27 Sudhir Ruparelia $800 M 60 real estate #30 Theophilus Danjuma $750 M 77 oil #31 Tony Elumelu $700 M 52 investments #31 Bhimji Depar Shah $700 M - consumer goods #33 Anas Sefrioui $650 M 58 real estate #34 Moulay Hafid Elalamy $620 M 56 insurance #35 Lauritz (Laurie) Dippenaar $610 M 67 banking, insurance #36 Said Salim Bakhresa $600 M 67 manufacturing #37 Jim Ovia $550 M 62 banking #38 Michiel Le Roux $530 M 66 banking #39 Raymond Ackerman $500 M 84 retailing #39 Mohammed Indimi $500 M 67 oil #41 Adrian Gore $480 M 51 financial services #42 Cyril Ramaphosa $450 M 63 investments #42 Ali Wakrim $450 M - gas #44 Gerrit Thomas (GT) Ferreira $420 M 67 banking, insurance #45 Gus Attridge $410 M 55 pharmaceuticals #46 Markus Jooste $400 M 55 furniture retailing #46 Narendra Raval $400 M 54 steel, cement #48 Naushad Merali $370 M 65 diversified #49 Giovanni Ravazzotti $330 M 73 ceramics, tile #49 Orji Uzor Kalu $330 M 56 diversified Take note that this list wasn't compiled by a contributor! 5 Likes |

Chinom: But the biggest c*ck suckers are Igbos, yet none has been able to use it for anything of note apart from noise making. Doesn't that tell you something about the business IQ of the average Igbo person? When it comes to business: the comparison between Igbos and Yorubas is similar of Pakistanis vs Indians. When it comes to low IQ business like trading, with corner shops on ever street corner - Pakistanis dominate. However, once you shift the IQ a notch higher to medium/high scale business...Indians are the kings. You just can't compare the two groups, it is not about making noise - it is about the numbers and numbers don't lie. 9 Likes |

missbronze: You're not ready to be wealthy, to be wealthy you need to make certain decisions, care not about what comes your way after making your plans. Write your plans down, go for it, any other thing that comes after laying your plans shouldn't matter, treat it like if you don't have it the problem will be solved somehow. You're not the only in that family. Time to make decision with your head and not emotions. If this year savings another thing shows up,will you spend it again? And start another year another thing shows up and you get emotional and spend it again and so on, when do you want to make it? The truth is those who make it make certain decision,you might think they are wicked but belive somethings we need to be tough to have it. |

They think BIG they are dreaded go getters. They hate salary jobs with passion and prefer to determine their time. So many things set them apart and they know something you don't know. 1 Like |

PenSniper: What is "legit and traceable" within the Nigerian context. Any thief can list his company on the stock exchange, then hold on to 98% of the shares and get listed by Forbes. Are you telling me that the only billionaires(Dollar) that we have in Nigeria are the ones listed on the stock market. |

SirShymexx: I was suprised also caused the last time I checked mike was at the 2-4bn mark! Approximately 10bn is a whooping mileage covered! And believe me, sources told me this week that the man just bought freshly 2 oil wells! I can't help but feel grateful to my darling mother for giving me the ijebu blood that complement my osun brain! Osun are very smart and intelligent but not really business savvy but ijebus or the other hand are very business savvy! And believe when I told my mother I'm not searching for job she was like ahhhh! I said all I need was to raise few bucks and startup, I told her I'm not going to be keeping rlshp for the next 8yrs neither should she expect a child, you just have to be focus to get those cheddars!

lookandlaff: The thing is, when you say he has 500bn naira assets, you are saying he has over $1bill assets!!! Lets do a comparison with femi otedola whose Forte Oil has hundreds of stations, who is known as the diesel king and has choice real estate assets all over barely made the $1bill mark. People like oba otudeko and cosmas maduka, tony elumelu, jim ovia, etc are not even hitting the 1bill dollar mark! 1 Like |

snofay: Actually orji Kalu is on d Forbes richest list at $300million or so. Way richer Dan ubah. I've gone thru d list before. Its easier to do the Forbes richest in Africa so d names come up faster. In d top 20, u will get elumelu, Jim oviah, cosmos maduka, Kalu and 1 or 2 others i cant rmmber now. But there are still a lot of hausas and Yoruba on dt list. Danjuma also appears. |
Re: Top 5 Richest Nigerians According To Forbes by Nobody: 11:44am On Mar 02, 2016 |
1wolex85: I didn't say he has 500b in assets, I dount the man is worth more than $200m net from legitimate operations, he is the one who said he has 500b in assets. What he didnt tell you is how much he is owing the banks (or Maduka or Amcon). Like i said people with real money dont brag about it. Dangote, Otedola, dont drive around in a convoy and police escorts, Fashola didnt go around blowing his siren because he knows he is the governor, you will find that it is the guy who was appointed special assistant to the governor (not even special adviser) that you will find with a convoy and siren in traffic. So next time you see someone in traffic blowing his siren in a convoy of vehicles, you know this is someone without REAL money or real power. Real money and real power has no need to brag. I can stake my life on it that Ifeanyi Ubah isn't worth anywhere near N500b he claims because when you get to that level of wealth you dont brag about it. A beautiful woman doesn't brag about her beauty because she knows she is beautiful. it's a classic mistake people make, the more you feel the need to shout/brag the less you really have or at the very least the more you tell the world about your insecurities. 1 Like |
