how can anyone with a sane mind compare fernadez with dangote ?this is someone that has been making his billions since the 80s to dangote who came into limelight during obj time.most young boys on this nl need to do more research before arguing.
ppl should get something clear there are many ppl in nigeria that are far far richer than dangote.

I think old age might have caught up with the man....he should be in his late 70's or 80's by now.

emmatok: Oladeinde,OBJ, IBB,e.t.c are far richer than Dangote, Otedola,Adenuga and Wele Tinubu.

The reason you don't see their names on Forbes is because wealth cannot be taxed.
They travel round the world dealing in WEAPONS,CRUDE OIL, GOLD, DIAMONDS they build refinery allover the world.
Folks like Dangote, Adenuga,Otedola are just frontmen.

Figment of your imagination! Conspiracy theories

You know a man true worth when a singular act of his can cause millions to groan in pain. That explains the extent of Dangote's riches. Having said that I think it is childish talking about how much money a man has or comparing him to another because like the blowing wind of the south, in a day, the wealth can vanish!

OYINBOGOJU: Adenuga was one of Babangida boys when he was in government,he is still not richer than his boss.

Dangote is the front man for Obasanjo and thus I don't see him richer than Obasanjo, A case example is Obajana cement.it is an investment owned by Obansanjo but run by dangote and its also the largest in africa.

Oladehinde fernandez belong to the underworld,he is a God father himself.
Afobaje
Chief Oluwo of Lagos
Chief of ogboni confraternity in the world.

His business belong to the men of underworld,
Men dealing with Blood diamond
Men dealing with blood sucking gold
Men dealing with Oil.

When the likes of Obasanjo,IBB were still doing souljer go souljer come,Dehinde was exploring oil, dealing with Governments.

Angola is rich in Oil
Zimbabwe is rich in diamond

Dehinde selected his targets

He moves with Oracles,Irunmole.

When Dehinde cough IBB must say Baba pelaye ooo
When Dehinde sneeze OBJ must run come from afar.

Its an insult to compare Dehinde with the likes of Dangote.

Dangote used to and still manipulate Nigeria capital market.

Common Dehinde is by far bigger than even a country talk less of ordinary capital market.

When Ribadu sneezes as efcc boss Adenuga ran away in his private jet, talk less of Dehinde.

Countless of countries are begging to meet Dehinde omo awo.

Never mess with Chief Oladehinde Fernandez

The chief Confraternity of Ogboni Worldwide.

Respect Boss

This is just too much too bear, my head Don blow.. Who's this guy?

Even his name na swag

He sponsored an event in Lagos late last year (or he was one of the sponsors). I remember that they said one of the reasons the event was delayed was because they were expecting him. I think it was an CAN event.

Of course he was at the 2011 Lagos Polo Tournament.

EXCLUSIVE: Yoruba tribal leader to build orangery in New Town

SURROUNDED by discreet offices, seven-storey townhouses and boutique hotels, Drumsheugh Gardens is one of Edinburgh’s more prestigious addresses.
On a street that fronts a private garden of carefully-tended lawns and mature trees, with views from the rear to Dean Village and across the Firth of Forth, every property in this exclusive quarter of the city centre is highly sought after.
But behind the dark green door, the eccentric behaviour of the neighbourhood’s latest occupant has set the New Town’s chattering classes ... well, chattering.
The billionaire African diplomat Antonio Deinde Fernandez has already spent more than 200,000 transforming his seven-storey townhouse by applying 1,000 books of gold leaf to the ornate cornicing and balusters.
The Central African Republic’s ambassador to the United Nations travels across the world in one of six private jets and enjoys being chauffeured around in a pink Rolls-Royce. When dining out, he takes over the entire restaurants to avoid encountering riffraff.
A Yoruba tribal chief, his family motto is "agbomeji kii momi nikoto", meaning "two rams cannot drink from the same bucket". one report which quoted Mr Fernandez's income as (pounds) 90m a month
Now the flamboyant Nigerian has astonished neighbours by asking for - and being granted - permission to build an orangery in his back garden.
On Wednesday, amid mundane requests for replacement windows and garage extensions, councillors in Edinburgh granted the ambassador permission to proceed with the orangery in the grounds of the B-listed building, despite the objections of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust.
The application is the latest sign that Ambassador Fernandez, who also has a luxurious home in New York, plans to spend more time in Edinburgh. However, his intentions are difficult to fathom as he remains deeply private about his plans.
Yesterday, his agent in Edinburgh, JR Marshall, refused to comment about the ambassador’s home improvement ideas.
Even neighbours know little about the 65-year-old, or why he has decided to buy a home in the capital.
Liberal Democrat councillor Moyra Forrest, a member of the planning committee, admitted she was in the dark about the applicant and his reasons for building an orangery.
She said the council committee passed the application, for a timber frame conservatory with octagonal cupolas, very quickly.
Ms Forrest explained: "There was no debate about it. It sounded so wonderful that we passed it."
Ambassador Fernandez is a prominent businessman and has been described as one of the richest men in Africa.
Ovation International, the African equivalent of Hello! magazine, described him as the "guardian of panache and prosperity" and was so pleased to secure a photo shoot with him that it spread the feature over 40 pages.
The magazine said: "Renowned and well-known around the globe, the tall, dark and refined man of commerce and diplomacy is an embodiment of good form, surrounding himself with exquisite things only money can buy."
A graduate of Columbia University, Ambassador Fernandez insists on travelling in style and his private jets are said to be furnished with every possible convenience. His fortune is said to be based on exports of bauxite, oil and diamonds.
His home in New York is a well-fortified island with all the services of a small town, including a fire station.
In his native Lagos Island, he has built a tower named after himself.
Alongside business interests, Ambassador Fernandez has a diplomatic career stretching back to 1966 and is the Central African Republic’s UN representative. He is on first-name terms with several world leaders, doubles as the republic’s deputy minister of foreign affairs, and is head of the oil company Petro-Inett.
But his career has not been without controversy. The ambassador has a long track record of unconventional business deals in Africa and is said to have made powerful enemies.
In 1989, he tried, unsuccessfully, to use his diplomatic immunity to prevent his former American wife from being awarded title to the couple’s 4 million estate in New York as part of a divorce settlement.
The wrangle went as far as the Oval Office, with former President George Bush being briefed on the appeal.
Earlier this year, Ambassador Fernandez threatened to sue the decorating firm Ogilvie J Rolland after it posted pictures of the work it had done on hisEdinburgh property on its website.

Husband to keep wealth secret


Published on Wednesday 2 July 2003 01:00

A JUDGE has refused a wife’s bid to force her diplomat husband to disclose his financial resources as she prepares for the biggest divorce case ever heard in Scotland.

Aduke Fernandez wants a share of assets held by her husband Chief Oladeinde Fernandez - who is also known as Ambassador Antonio Deinde Fernandez - which she believes are worth 600 million.

But the chief maintains they are not validly married and so she is not entitled to financial provision on divorce.

Mrs Fernandez, of Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh, has lodged papers at the Court of Session.

An address for her husband, a Yoruba chief aged 66 who served as the Central African Republic’s ambassador to the United Nations, was given as care of the Ritz Hotel in Paris.

Mrs Fernandez’ counsel Charles Macnair QC told a preliminary hearing that: "Expenditure was, by any stretch of the imagination, lavish." Mr Macnair asked the court to grant an order providing details of the diplomat’s resources within seven days.

His motion was opposed as premature and because it was not thought viable for the chief to comply within that period of time.

One reason for opposition was stated as: "The parties are not validly married and as such the pursuer [Mrs Fernandez] is not entitled to financial provision on divorce."

Lord Brodie said he was not satisfied that there was a basis at this stage for the court granting the order and refused the application. The judge pointed out proceedings were at an early stage.

He added: "It has been explained to me by both parties the defender is a man of considerable means, whose financial interests may not be straightforward."

He said that it seemed to be impractical to require him to fulfil an order within seven days.

The judge also noted that there was an issue between as to whether they were married and said: "It is not accepted that these parties are married and that is an additional factor which I think it is appropriate to have regard to at this stage."

The African diplomat previously came to notice when he successfully applied for permission to build an orangery in the back garden of the house in Drumsheugh Gardens in the West End area of Edinburgh.

Fernandez Denies Reconcilation with Ex Wife

Contrary to a story published in a magazine suggesting reconciliation between international businessman, Anthonio Dehinde Fernandez, and his estranged wife, Aduke, the man has debunked the tale.
There was anger in his voice when he spoke to a source from Belgium, where he now spends more time with his wife, Halima.
“It’s a big lie,it will never happen, even in a million years’, he said. If you may recall, the former Central African Republic envoy to United Nation and Aduke parted in 2003 after she sued him in Scotland for 300million pounds, a divorce considered to be one of world’s 20 most expensive.

Wise but poor... ultra poor

Yep, the guy is certainly rich though don't know how he compares with Dangote; but certainly rich enough to bag an upper class Hausa wife (from the Maude Tobacco family) and a full traditional title from the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero. He is also building a big mansion for the wife, Halima, along Alu Avenue in Kano G.R.A.(still in progress now almost 10yrs).

And the Great Anthonio Deinde Fenandez is gone forever.
