I've heard so much about the man call JIMOH IBRAHIM.
Can someone pls tell about this man, and how he started?

Born to poor parenst in a family of about 17 siblings, Jimoh Ibrahim is today the most inspiring Businessman in Nigeria, and possibly in the world.
Inspiring in that he loves urging people to do what he did-which is a near overnight success.

Officail story is that he made his first millions while studying law at O.A.U when he ran seminars for all local governments on taxation.

He came into the limelight in 2002/2003 when he contested for the Governorship post in Ondo State on the platform of the ANPP.

After that he quite politics, and started Global Fleet-a petroleum marketing company. His strategy was to acquire rather than build-so he acqires filling stations, instead of building from scratch.As of this month, he has over 250 of such stations and recently he got licenced as an Independent Marketer.

He also in the last 1 year bought Great Nigeria Insurance-sold it for profit, then bought Nigeria's number 1 Insurance firm-NICON.

He also bought EAS Airlines and renamed it NICON Airlines. And bought the Meidan Hotel in Lekki-renaming it NICON Hotel.

He equally has a furniture making company in VGC that brings in income in the hundreds of millions.

His rapid expansion is traced to his ability to borrow from banks and PAY ON TIME-indeed faster than they expect, so banks are eager to lend him.

His worth: cant say-but he controls assest and businesses worth over 100 Billion Naira.

He delivers free lectures through City People on how Nigerians can start from nothing to make millions in any business.It usually holds once a month at Excellence Hotel, Ogba.

Jimoh Ibrahim to me is the present and future of Nigerian Business.

He recently clocked 40 years and is married with children.

Gist from the grapevine has it that some years back, Jimoh Ibrahim duped the Military Administrator of one of the Niger Delta states. After that, he absconded to the US. It was there he did the Harvard Executive Education programme and returned a superstar. The ex MILAD had a stroke and has been bedridden since then. This allegation hasnt been denied beecause many people knew of his closeness to the ex-MILAD, in fact, Jimoh was his Special Assistant.

Let me tell u what i was told about him.

I was told he was a very close friend to that Mariam Abacha son who died in the plan crash long time ago.dat All the money the guy made from Abacha were kept in his custody.after the guy dealth he just use the money to travel out .And went to havard to study where he gradute as the best student,from where World bank pick him as consultant,on some projects.

After the election of 2003 which he lost due to power play,he intends going back to havard to be lecture cos he was wanted there,but for the invention of Mrs Ibru(M D OCEANIC BANK) who asked him about his oil business,dat who is going to take of it.She even call him to borrow him some money to expande his business.



But no matter what they say about him i pray to GOD to make me be like him,cos the guy is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

@ gisaa

U are perfectly right.he himself(Jimoh Ibrahim) confessed to us in one of his Seminars organised by City People Magazine publisher at Shreaton Hotel way back Jan 2005 where he taught us "startin biz wit zero Kobo"

He proudly confessed to us durin d seminar session dat he u used to teach Abacha's son book @ LAW SCHOOL then,based on dis they became very intimate friend.but he didn't tell us d other side as u revealed to us now.Of course nobody wil expect him to tell us dat.No rich man/woman wil ever tell u d dirty things he/she did to become rich.

The bottomline is d guy has maximised the use of d money to create employment for our youths and even teachin them how to become future enterpreneurs.

Plaese I will like to know when the seminar usually hold every month.

Jimoh Ibrahim, ah! Hmm, all that glitters,

I'm surprised at the speed at which some intend to ignore whatever "means" he used to get there. Is that the stuff of which models are made?

Though most suspicion is based largely on rumors, I still have always "smelt" something not quite right. Anyhow, that may just be me!

Thing is, he's a very determined guy, determined to get out out of poverty. He's also quite intelligent and at every point has tapped into his intellectual capacity to create wealth. He's a sharp guy.

i always attend his seminar too.i like his motivational lecture.just that he is such a busy person. he doesn't pick phone but u can communicate with him through text messages.i used to have his number on my phone but that phone was stolen. maybe, u can ask noble2007, since he was also at the seminar, i think he should aslo have his number.

He is one of the richest man in Nigeria. i hope the ans is simple and straight

please, does any one knows the website of jimoh ibrahim's company - the global fleet group?

He's the messiah of NICON too!

Hmmmm.Jimoh Ibrahim is not as smart as people think.All that glitters is definitely not gold.I think we should try and investigate the rich amongst us well before we begin to celebrate them.Its not enough for them after 'making' money to now go about delivering free lectures on how to make money with zero naira.Who is Jimoh Ibrahim?I ask again.

Humantoy

The young man has made a mark. He has affected his generation. Now you are even discussing him on a forum like this. Get up and see what you can do positively for people to discuss u too. OK.

One Nairalander work for him.

na u?

He got is first financial break by collecting tax for the federal government from corporate organization and he got a certain percentage of the amount collected.

please any one with jimoh ibrahim company info i could contact i have some filling stations for sale

He's ok!

Jimoh Ibrahim
is not some one ill not want to be my role model
my friends who work for him are living in abject poverty
he does not pay well and the funny thing is that he deducts 50 thousand every month from there salary for cars but he never gives them
some have worked for so 3 to 4 years and they have overpaid the 1 million naira to be deducted for two years
he pays 60 thousand naira monthly and it is paid like ten days after the month has ended
instead he finds a way to sack them and then announce to the world that he has employed 500 ghost staffs
I feel bad that we Nigerians can be deceived
I think Adenuga is far more better than him though i hear he sacks people also for no good reason

Just headover to google and do a search typing Jimoh Ibrahim, you will get results relating to him and his companies.
The same thing applies to any big man you want to know more about.
Cheers

very very correct. i have a very close person that works with him in top level and still he can't afford to live as good as a clerk

Nigeria's boldest non-performing debtor.
