These are just blogs where one can write anything he likes now.
Only Forbes and Bloomberg are recognised in the world as authentic references not blogs where I can write that my mum is worth $10 billion.
Arthur Eze is not even worth up to $500 million.
The only dollar billionaires in Nigeria are Hausa and Yoruba.
And the only dollar billionaires abroad are Yoruba only.
There is no Igbo man that has a worth of up to $500 million.

Yorubas and Hausa that are the real billionaires in dollars do not have time for that deceit.
Yorubas are successful anywhere by being very hard and smart working.

You read it right

Your generation usually use government favour to discredit Yoruba success in this country, the UK and USA government must also be favouring Yoruba over Igbo right ?

Yoruba have billionaire in USA and UK no tribe in Africa have that feat.
Bros, the issue is how does it benefit you or me as Individuals.
Its just as you see some guy down the street saying 'I" beat Chelsea, I drew with man u, na me carry premiership. I de go champions league etc. Lol.
One just shakes his head and Waka pass. The only way be benefits from man u, Chelsea etc is if he stakes money in a match ie bet naija and wins. Most times he looses his money.
Point is aside from bragging rights which does not put food on the table, you have no benefit if a Yoruba, igbo or Hausa man is the richest fella in the whole wide world.
Lets face reality abeg.

Seun if you want to clean Nairaland accounts like FreeStuffsNG should be banned permanently. He only created topics for one tribe and intentionally avoids achievements of southeast southsouth of Northerners.

Tope Awotona is the founder and CEO of scheduling software company Calendly.
Awotona, a former salesman for tech firms including EMC (now Dell EMC), founded Calendly out of his own frustration with the back-and-forth emails required to schedule meetings.

He bootstrapped Calendly for years before taking on a $350 million investment in 2021 that valued the firm at $3 billion.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Awotona immigrated to the United States as a teenager.
Before founding Calendly, he had started a few other businesses, including one that sold projectors and another that sold garden tools, that flopped.

Rather than calling form the persons ban, is it not wiser to avoid his/her posts completely? That ensures you are not offended and the person can also freely get to their targeted audience.

Yoruba doings. When we are ready we will give free visa to Igbo women and Yorubanise them so they can add to our already beautiful omoluabi female folk in our Yoruba nation but deny their flat head men entry. Their Biafla will be the first male only country in the world. grin

There is no Igbo man that has a worth of up to $500 million.
