When you are in certain countries or environment, you don't need to dream or wish of becoming a billionaire to be on world billionaires list unless you are from a highly influential political family like Aliko Dangote.


Dangote didn't become rich by hardwork or any special talent or invention, he became who he is today based on his family background which gave him political connections and favors from successive Nigerian governments.


So people should stop celebrating Dangote as if he did anything special to become rich; he was just fortunate to come from a rich family background with strong political links, nothing special undecided


People that worth celebration are the likes of Mark that invented something from nowhere at his age, people like Seun of Nairaland, people like Linda Ikeji, and all the people who worked the soil from nothing to build their wealth not people climbing through political ladder enjoying free FOREX money and government monopoly in business because of their influential family background and where they come from.



So all you Nigerians dreaming to be like Dangote, you all are wasting your time because Nigerian environment and government don't make policies that encourage and favor people from nobody's family background to climb to that ladder of becoming a billionaire in the world.


Even Otedola, his father was the former governor of Lagos. So if you look at all the so called billionaires from Nigeria, especially those from Northern Nigeria, all their wealth can be traced to politics and Nigeria's crude oil shady deals.


So if you want to become a billionaire in $$ and you are a Nigerian that doesn't come from the top looting political families in Nigeria, you are wasting your time, you better find a way to get out of Nigeria to counties like USA that support dreams of anybody ready to work and use his or her talent.


All you need to make it big in countries like USA, etc is the talent, the zeal to work and focus. Then find one challenge in the society there or a problem within your location in that country and use technology to find a solution to it and you are on your way to becoming rich, unlike in Nigeria where dreams are killed everyday, while looters, business fraudsters and political clouts are the only people that make free money and still get celebrated like they did anything special undecided

If not for charity ,nobody would have ever topped bill gates.

Truly, that man is a giver: Bill and Belinda Gates Foundation

And God says that givers don't lack; I am a living testimony.

Funnily enough, I am not a salaried worker.

Dangote kept too much of his money in Nigeria. Exchange rate destroyed his wealth. He even said it recently that when his refinery starts working, he'll be investing the income outside Africa to preserve his wealth.

The United States is home to the richest people in the world. That was all I could spot from this list. Even Russia houses richer citizens than the United Kingdom. Hong Kong is doing well.

Nigerians are indeed the poorest. tongue Even our Hyped Otedola isn't in the first 100. Dangote tried.

Yeah thats true o, I forgot. I can't dash my money away like that sha.

The money he has put in charity though is tax exempt and a good way to transfer wealth to his children tax free. That is not to say his charity donations are fake but charity is a good way to transfer wealth tax free just like Otedola did to his children recently through Cuppy's foundation.
How does that work?
Do the children still have access to the already donated charity funds?

Yes. They can even be placed on hefty life salary. They can also be in the board of trustees and spend the money as they like. Some of the biggest frauds on earth happen in charities.
