Is it really right for somebody employing fifty people to be described as self made?. Given that artisans who do not employ at all can not really be described as self made because they had a master at one point.

And highest number of poor people per Population in the world currently.

How many Nigerians can boast of 100K savings ? Probably few. There are so many billionaires in the world, the poor will always be more than the billionaires for sure. But when the poor are unable to achieve the least of basic commodities of life, then there is a problem. And that problem is the structure of the economy, your fukin government.

Tinubu is killing more people with starvation daily than Malaria in Africa. And if we continue to wait for divine intervention, we will wake up one morning with no one to fight for.

We need to stop these evil men in power. Tinubu must go. That is what we want. That is what sane Nigerians want. That is what the world want.

Before you label me Igbo, my name is Ochuko, I am a warri Boy from Ekpan. Delta State. That's South South. I speak for my people.

What do they mean by self-made billionaires?
Can you ever be a billionaire by working for someone? That's practically impossible! Everyone knows that the surest way of making mad money is by working for oneself, but everyone is scared of uncertainty.

BTW, Nigerian government is just busy making the wealthy even richer. Build a system that will tax these folks and distribute money across the country. A country is wealthy when it has a huge percentage of its population in the middle class, not creating a few wealthy folks.

Self made in this context simply means you worked for it rather than inheriting it.

It is still not correct because no amount of work can make you a high net worth individual. Ise ko ni owo.

Work does not necessarily mean salaried employment. If you don't want to understand it that way then simply take it that self made is the opposite of inherited or gifted.

Thinking and not work is what brings any kind of success. Nobody really works harder than others but you can think harder

So for your mind now only three billionaires exist in Nigeria. Keep deceiving yourself. Since Adenuga and Dangote are billionaires, so all northern and Western people are not poor again. That is the mentality that has kept Majority of you guys poor. Always waiting for Dangote to share #200 each to you people everyday. Tueh! The children of the rising sun are not trained to live life like that. We hustle like tommorow no dey. That's our spirit

It's the South African ones that are self made.

If what you are producing is not more expensive than in foreign countries paying the same wages then there is no basis to describe the money as government money

I love Statistics.

In a country of 200 million people, if only 10 Nigerians are billionaires out of 15 in the whole Africa, that represents 66% of African billionaires. On the surface it looks commendable. But then no considerations for the remaining 199,000,090 of which majority are in abject poverty earning the country the poverty capital of the world. Some people will finish drinking garri and come out to rejoice about the news.

Let them tell us the numbers instead of percentages.

Lol ! Where are the Nzogbu Nzogbu audio Billionaires,those empty chestbeating braggarts from Alaigbo ?! When we tell these loudmouthed braggarts from that erosion ravaged land of hinterland bushmen that as far as the economy of Nigeria is concerned,the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani are effectively in charge ! The truth is what's starring at their ugly,bitter faces up there now ! In the picture above are two Yorubas and two Hausa/Fulani -

* Mike Adenuga - Yoruba
* Mrs Alakija. - Yoruba

* Dangote - Hausa/Fulani
* Rabiu - Hausa/Fulani

"Everybody in Igboland is a billionaire","Igbo girls are the best","Igbo food is the best"," We are Jews","It was USA,UK,Egpty,Russia,etc that combined to defeat Igbo during the civil war"," Without Igbo,Nigerian economy will collapse", "Igbo developed Lagos,Johannesburg,NewYor" Igbo this and Igbo that,whereas all available evidences,statistics and verifiable facts have never supported any of their claims !

Mtchew,yeye 2x2 shops and useless Plazas audio Billionaires,shior !

Self made billionaires in naira or dollars ?
Are we talking about those that became billionaires through government contracts or embezzlement of public funds with no accountability?

Or is it the one through government monopoly or individuals that were awarded oil blocs ? Or even the ones that were given the Niger delta security contracts, contract so huge that he could afford to build a university in another country . Let's not even talk about Fx round tripping billionaires or even the religious billionaires ?

To only a few are truly self made. Those who have a traceable history and can actually tell their own story and not just tell us " na God oh "

Believe any so called self made billionaire at your own risk sad

Mike Adenuga was busy in America driving taxis until his friend who was the son of a Brigadier introduced him to his father. He returned to Nigeria, got connected to IBB and got army contracts to build barracks, etc. Thereafter he ventured into tomato puree importation, got money, purchased Devcon merchant bank and Equitorial trust bank. They sold former national oil to him, which became Conoil, as he through his military contacts, ventured into oil. The rest became history. He made his riches through the military.

The same with Dangote who got a loan from his maternal Uncle, Dantata. They used the advantage of their region and the military too. He has always been in the news using government to support himself, while fighting other to stay at the top.

Folorunsho Akakija, known in the eighties as Supreme stitches. A popular fashion designer with military connections. Story of her rise through IBB, who gave her the oil block is not hidden.

Which one of them can you address as “self made”? They made it through government please and not through skills or industry.
