nigeria does not remember these people because nothing in their names still exists or shines

I think they named a popular street after him in Lagos, some foreign embassies are located there.

frog12:
i don tell you. i only know him street name. even that name is no longer mentioned in advertisements again. the reason for these is they did not invent or manufacturer anything popular in their names. all of them, louis ojukwu, awolowo, mko abiola.

You are not everybody and it seems like you are just desperate to write something negative about him. You are saying that people don't know ouis ojukwu, awolowo, mko abiola, but here you are writing their names

You started out saying that Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony was governor of Lagos (implying that he was corrupt), when he wasn't even governor, then, when I corrected you, you said that nobody knows his name, which is laughable since everybody in Lagos knows Bank-Anthony Way.

Then you said that he didn't even invent anything, yet you referenced Michael Jackson, who didn't invent anything, and used him as an example of someone that people remember.

I bet after this you will create a new reason to hate him. I am done with this shifting the goalpost. You can write whatever you want, I am no longer going to read or respond to your posts.

Please na, Nigerian youths, haba; this man was not only an illustrious industrialist but also a philanthropist. Assets littered across four countries, it's definitely worth it. Besides most were gotten in the late 60s and 70s.

Oh please employ common sense. Nobody was worth that much from that era.

wait. i used michael jackson as an example. try to understand the context. go and ask anyone born in 2000 who this man is and hear what they will say. i know these people because i am older

probably ure not yoruba or widely knowledgeable about important people in the history of lagos, southwest and nigeria.

The man is well know beyond the name of that street. I grew up hearing stories of who the man was when I was very little. He was very influential.

frog12:
what remains? tell us! you see their properties have become carcasses for fraudsters because the foundation is poor. him, mko abiola, louis ojukwu, awolowo, etc

Their Poor foundation contributes to transfer of generational wealth

I was a beneficiary, my first employment was in Law Union & Rock
I was also a related party as at then( if you understand financial regulations)
Great man, RIP

heh. i am lost. abiola mansion is languishing with the bushes. concord press is no more. abiola babes no dey again. but I don't see any mobolaji bank anthony company anywhere. generational wealth to their children you mean?

lol no be only 50bn dollars stop making false misleading stories do you know dangote is worth 11 billion dollars and he's Africa's richest believe me if he had 50b the world would have known just because he has bank by his name does not mean you have the right to inflate his net worth lol

slowice:
Not adding up at all.... They probably mean 5b dollars.

If they meant $5b (adjusted for inflation in today's dollars), then Iragbiji Kingpin, Bola Tinubu, would be worth $50b.

Do you have any idea what $5b is?

No doubt Mobolaji Bank Anthony was one of the early birds with ruthless clarity of purpose and foresight who exploited the then numerous nascent opportunities (legal and extra-legal), including folks like Fajemirokun, Majekodunmi, Shonibare, Da Rocha, Sir Ojukwu, etc.). Men wey see road early when other people's grand fathers were still roaming about and groping in the dark in the bush. But claiming that his estate is worth billions of dollars is a laughable exaggeration.

I'd hazard a wild guess of something in the region of $200-300m at best.

Oh

[quote author=naptu2 post=113100466][/quote]thanks Naptu... Goc bless you more as you give us more history of this man... i remember he donated or his foundation rather, donated the lovely auditorium in law faculty UI.

Some people are so confident stealing a dead man's property, falsifying documents like they are not going to die too... it is even worst when the fellow had worked with government, it is assumed without checks that it was all stolen ... Anyway good thing we shall all reincarnate back to Nigeria, and from my study of reincarnation you either reincarnate back to your family or to another family but most likely within the same geographical region very rarely outside the region ... bottom line make society conducive and enabling for everyone.

Not at all. It is a cultural thing.

They (Yorubas) don’t shout because it is considered a cultural wisdom to keep a low profile if you are rich in order to avoid unnecessary envy and antagonism that is known to accompany the boastful and proud.

A rich and boastful man is easily disrespected and easily antagonized in the Yoruba society and vice versa. This has helped to keep the society balanced.
