To put it in better perspective, 6 of these 10 pre-independence ''hombres ricos'' were of Yoruba extraction. Da Rochas was an Ijesa slave taken to Brazil. This is just to put present day loudmouthers along history lane. 11 Likes 1 Share |

The wealthiest of them all is the one missing on the list. Jaja of Opobo 1821–1891 was the wealthiest man in the Niger-area when the British arrived here. He controlled palm oil business in the entire region. Its thought he held monopoly over the trade. Efforts by Britain to get him sign a trade agreement to allow them access to business in the region failed. The British then captured him, took over his business empire and sent him on exile. If Britain or France were to arrive Nigeria in the 1800's or early 1900's and saw Aliko Dangote or Mike Adenuga, they'll have took over their businesses and send them to exile. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Tell us about people who did great things to enrich the history of the country and remarkably impact the lives of the Nigerian people. Being super rich is no noble achievement neither is it a contribution to society. We're celebrating our INDEPENDENCE. We should be talking breathtaking exploits, not OLD MONEY. |

Naptu ,I noticed something from this article, I have being wondering for years why the Catholics are called Aguda in Yoruba,am wondering if the casa agua is the etymology of the word Aguda on Yoruba,ijo awon Aguda,since that was what da Rocha's house was called. 1 Like |
