You NL ibos annoy me with your not-well-thought out, empty, boastful assertions.
Why are you guys always trying to measure up to Yorubas?
It's a done deal bro, Yorubas' dominance.

igboboy3:


The fact that the names look funny only indicate that you are not in the loop. What exactly was Alakija's hustle? She did the dirty and BAM she has an oil block.
All ya recognised lists are bollocks in the Nigerian context. The real heavy rollers don't want their names in the news because the government is all powerful and can use political power to grind them to powder. That is why dangote backs both APC and PDP; Buhari can make him a pauper.

odimbannamdi:
Before i clock 45, by God's grace, i will be on that list.

Amen

mercyville:
How did you know?Are you the govt or world bank or UNDP abi you be stastician?

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.

mercyville:

If you go and look Okija list,you go see dem dem there.On a serious note if you pick 10 Igbos and 10 Yorubas,you would pick 8 self reliant Igbos and maybe pick 6 from Yorubas.Igbos are satisfied with trading and they are largely employed while Yorubas are mostly professionals and artisans.Igbos made most of their money in Nigeria especially Lagos and do not really have billionaires outside Nigeria unlike the Yorubas who have chunks of billionaires outside Nigeria because their bizmen and women are always going for the biggest pies in the world.The truth is Yorubas have more billionaires than Igbos both home and abroad(we are not talking of secret billionaires o.every tribe has them because their monies are not mostly clean)

mercyville:
lol...Name one rich man in Nigeria that Buhari cannot make a pauper unless you have majority of your investments outside Nigeria.Is it Innoson,Orji,Ubah...lol or some other secret billionaires who got their money from Soka,Okija or Otokoto.You underestimate the influence of the reach of FGN at your own peril.Even Bill Gates can be ruined by USA govt.

We actually are. Dont get it twisted.

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.

missbronze:
You sound harsh, but, you are also real.

Thank you so much for this advice.

janellemonae:


Ur first statement is not true. They aligned wt d govt in d 60's. They aligned wt d govt wt shehu shagari. They aligned wt d govt during obasanjo and during Jonathan. You cant change history, d yorubas were always d political outcasts in all our democracies until 1999.

Every one of d major tribes have individuals DT benefitted from d military. You cant do one nonsense plausible deniability here. We have d ofhonagoro, nwobodos, d ekwuemes, igbenidion, d abiolas, d nzeribes, danjuma, etiebet, Barth nnaji, dangote.etc. d list is endless. Especially during abachas regime.

Most of those on DT list are hausas, but don't come and start saying stuff like Igbos weren't also involved in d wealth sharing dt went on in d past in this country. Or d Yorubas DT gained from it were more Dn Igbos DT gained from it. Stop d lies.

If I sounded harsh blame me not, I was only being concerned. Sorry though.

missbronze:
No. No. don't apologize. I wasn't even offended.

You told me the bitter truth.


Although, you and I know is difficult not to get emotional when dealing with family. Esp, if you are a Nigerian.

janellemonae:


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.

rolams:


Yes, he is not there. He is f*****king rich but Forbes don't include any politician in their list.

LAFOCUZY:


You quite right. The east is fairly prosperous and you don't see the level of poverty you see in other parts of Africa. But the rich guys don't list their business. its still largely family business and dies with the man. The west are quite open in this regard. Another contributing factor is that most of the Ibo guys grow their business organically from the scratch and have not been lucky with the acquisition of government sale off of Public Enterprise or favorable import concessions. they need to be more politically developed. There is no big business anywhere in the world without strong links to politics and government administration. This is one thing the Ibos lack. And unfortunately is either they are not just interested or they are damn right ignorant about its importance in their business growth

FYI my mom is way lot better than Ms. Alakija..

This is how you people always lie and pull off aba stats.

THIS IS FROM WORLD BANK
The NER also documents major differences in poverty and living standards by macro-region in Nigeria. While the South of Nigeria has relatively low poverty rates, ranging from 16% in the South West to 28.8% in the South East, poverty rates in the North West and North East are 45.9% and 50.2%, respectively. While the South of Nigeria (especially the South West) has experienced a strong positive dynamic in poverty reduction in recent years, the poverty rate in the North West has remained stagnant, while poverty has actually increased in the North East. Thus, disparities between the North (North West, North East) and South of Nigeria in poverty and living standards have increased. This is no doubt related to the recent security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria. Explanatory factors for the high differences in living standards by geographical region are likely related to differences in the provision of public services and the degree of connectedness to larger markets.
