Juliette05:
Dangote is just an errand boy to the Super rich in Nigeria, he might officially be the richest but he isn't even in the first 30

PierreDeFermat:
exactly,he's just helping them to invest,that's why he seems to have supreme influence that even those before him never had. its not his own influence but joint influence of the rich people he represents.

Nova01:
Oluwo Deinde Fernandez .... just google his name

remedick:
You missed the point he was making... get this today, even Bill Gates is not the richest man in the world!

Apipia:
I am richer than Aliyu Dangote.
98% of his assets are borrow and poise. 2% are his cold comfort, Forbes knew that, and that have been my misunderstanding with them, because I ain't gone public.
My 98 %asset are raw cash in gold, 2% debt I owed to American government. And Donald Trump have calling me all day to pay.

PierreDeFermat:
Isiaku Rabiu also,Isiaku Rabiu is into oil and gas and other businesses and stupendously rich,now in his 90's and his son is one of the richest men in Nigeria today. Isiaku has many trucks also for haulage,there was a time he built about 57 duplexes with furniture's,and everything and started renting to people but people started complaining and packing out because they were hearing strange sounds of ghosts and babies crying in the midnight and Isiaku Rabiu was accused of being a ritualist. the estate is still in the north with nobody living in any of the mansions

sukkot:
any submission from the legendary historian, librarian, statistician, archive maestro named naptu2 has to be highly considered and regarded

lawani:
I suppose it was MKO Abiola at some point.

Akalia:
delusional motherfucker

Freethought:


I can tell you with my mouth wide open that aliko is not the richest man right now.. People seem to confuse richest with famous. Dangote is rich and famous but believe me when i say the richest man in Nigeria right now is not jfamous

mpam....meaning my dad

PierreDeFermat:
yeah,I know a man who is not known in his state,but known in his town and due to many occurrences ,he was alleged to be a ritualist and so wealthy that people said a storey building wouldn't contain his raw cash. some ritualists especially are richer than Dangote because their money is infinite
