Show more of our great achievements..
Igbos are great!
In the other thread, what I'm seeing is Yorubas personalities, not industries..
We are great indeed...
Ride on! You guys are the ones posting nonentities nobodies in place of profiles of highly successful entrepreneurs and industrialists. At least, you can verify that from my quotes above. Stop beating empty chest like a chimp. 1 Like |

Weinberg: What about the owner of Largest oil blocks in Africa by an Indigenous African Business man ARTHUR EZE.. The man is no longer a local Champion...
He has covered over 11 African States with his Atlas Oranto petroleum.. Arthur Eze
Description: Net Worth: $5.8 BILLION Industry: Oil and Gas Country of Citizenship: Nigeria Age: 62 Number of Jobs Created: 1,000 Prince Arthur Eze is the Nigerian oil and gas billionaire and the founder of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, a West African oil exploration company. With at least 36 oil acreages, it is the largest holder of oil exploration blocks in Africa. Eze continues to grow the number of acreages he owns. Two of his oil blocks alone produce over 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Atlas Oranto Petroleum owns equity and working interests in several acreages across the Gulf of Guinea, including Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, and the Republic of Benin. Known for his shrewd business acumen, Eze acquires acreages with significant value on the cheap, and farms out portions of those oil blocks to international oil companies for substantially higher amounts, when the values of those blocks increase. Eze, or Ezenukpo as he is fondly called, is also a political kingmaker in his native Anambra State and a major donor to Nigeria’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Eze often chairs fundraising for political aspirants who he supports, and gave away close to $100 million to political aspirants in the last election cycle. He is a prolific and compulsive donor. As he gets, he gives away. Eze remarked to Ventures Africa that he isn’t taking anything with him when he passes on so he will give away as much as he can in the ad hoc manner he prefers. How looonatic flatiyeasterners generate stats and figures from their anuses and then put them up as facts is beyond me. Especially where several means of busting their useless facts and figures abound. How can Arthur Eze own the largest oil fields in Nigeria? How can he be worth $5.8Billion and yet Forbes have never profiled him, not even once? The above have made nonsense your post altogether.

Oyekanmi Hassan-Odukale MFR, was groomed for success at a very early age. He attended Mayflower School, Ikenne in Ogun State (which was a boarding school run by the late Tai Solarin and his wife, Sheila), and later got Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Business Administration, specializing in Finance, from University of Houston, Texas, USA. He started his insurance career with SCIB & Company Insurance Brokers (then an affiliate of Sedgwicks Insurance Brokers) in 1980, and joined Leadway Assurance Company Limited in 1981. ![](https://www.leadway.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/MD.png) The company was founded by his late father Sir Olusola Hassan Odukale, in Kaduna. He was the founding Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, who built Leadway on a solid reputation of integrity, and excellence. Sir Olusola Hassan Odukale, a knight of John Wesley (KJW) and fondly called 'Baba Odukale,' within the Nigeria insurance industry, community and Methodist family, passed on 17 years ago. He was a Christian entrepreneur and philanthropist to the core, who revolutionized the insurance industry and set the standard for modern philanthropy, especially in Northern Nigeria. In appreciation of his efforts, the Methodist Church of Nigeria named its institute after him by giving it the name: Sir Olusola Hassan Odukale Methodist Theological Institute, Zonkwa in Kaduna State. The old man served as the Chairman of Leadway Assurance Company from 1993 till 1999, when he passed away. Today, his son Oye Hassan-Odukale has not only nutured his father's dream and legacy, but expanded the company, to become one of Nigeria’s most profitable insurance firms. The little firm has now grown to include different subsidiaries such as Leadway Capital & Trusts Limited, Leadway Properties & Investments Limited, Leadway Pensure PFA, and Leadway Hotels Limited. Oye's brother, Babatunde Hassan-Odukale a graduate of the University of London, also sits on the board and serves as Executive Director (Financial Services & Systems).

It has risen to become a composite company, underwriting both life and general insurance business. The company’s financial capacity has enabled it to now underwrite risks of very high magnitude, with respect to heavy industries, such as Oil and Gas including big manufacturing concerns. It also offers subsidiary financial services like Bond, Secured Credit, Miscellaneous financial losses and Fund/Portfolio management. ![](https://www.leadway.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/pick-and-pay-post-1-1024x1024.jpg) At last count, Leadway Assurance's assets had hit =N=137 billion naira, while its' profit after tax for 2015, was =N=6.2 Billion naira. Leadway Assurance Company Limited has said its assets rose by 37 per cent from =N=100.5bn in 2014 to =N=137.3bn in the 2015 financial period. This was disclosed by the Acting Chairman, Mr. Jeremy Rowse, during the company’s 44th annual general meeting in Lagos. He said that the claims paid by the firm rose by 13 per cent from =N=12.7bn in 2014 to =N=14.3bn in 2015.
Rowse disclosed that its gross premium rose by 20 per cent from N39bn in 2014 to N46.6bn in 2015, and that its profit after tax rose by 125 per cent from N2.8bn to N6.3bn in the period under review.
He said, “With various guidelines aimed at reinforcing standards and encouraging confidence in the Nigerian insurance industry, the company remains poised to take advantage of emerging growth opportunities to compete effectively within its immediate market and the larger global markets. http://punchng.com/leadway-assurances-assets-hit-n137bn/ ![](https://www.leadway.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadway-annuity-1.png) In 2016, Swiss Re took up about 25% shareholding in Leadway Assurance.

I am inspired. Yeah, I know what you mean. ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) For Swiss Re the world's 2nd largest insurance company, to have bought over about 25% shareholding in Leadway Assurance, they must have seen something unique in that firm. Millions of dollars must have changed hands in that transaction, but no one is ready to disclose the exact figures! ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) 2 Likes |

Lloydfather: Why copy and paste the same people laudate and doemelo. What are u afraid of. U have highlights all this people number of time. Nigba ti eyi na mokpe eni eyan kolode te n se kpariwo. Sorry, you need to translate what you just wrote here, because it is not making sense. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Leadway has only been profiled once in this thread, while Regency Assurance has not even been featured at all till now. So what are you blabbing about? Do you think this thread is like your own, where you keep blabbing Innoson, Teragro, Aiteo and Nestoil over and over on almost every page, like a broken record? ![](/faces/huh.png) 1 Like
