Late Chief Mobolaji Bank-Anthony.

Smh. Ignorance is not bliss o.
Lagos is not your mate o. Sir Louis Ojukwu was wealthy and probably the wealthiest from his part of Nigeria of that time but at no time the richest even in Lagos.

The richest man of that era was Late Chief Mobolaji Bank-Anthony.

Below is his picture and just a portion of some of his wealth was reportedly valued at $50 billion as at 2022

He singlehandedly built what is today upgraded to LASUTH.

Go and read about others. Sir Louis Ojukwu has never been the richest person in Nigeria.
Below is another interesting piece.

Dear @TadyesSol,

Thank you for your feedback. In direct answer to your question, I get a lot of my history from official Hansards of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, where I worked from 2002 to 2003, and still have access to. I do not talk or write without the strong backing of documentary evidence.

Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was a wealthy man. However, he was neither a billionaire nor, at any point in time, the wealthiest man in Nigeria.

For example, Sanusi Dantata, the son of Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, was acknowledged by Time Magazine as the wealthiest person in Nigeria by 1965. You may want to read it here by yourself content.time.com/time/subscribe…

His father was also the wealthiest man in West Africa before he passed away.

Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was next. However, due to the Nigerian Civil War, he lost much of his wealth. But irrespective of the war, he was not the wealthiest man in Nigeria.

Having a Rolls Royce neither makes you a billionaire or the wealthiest person in Nigeria. Many rich people then and now do not indulge in such ostentatious lifestyles.

For example, the Time Magazine article, which I gave you the link to, also mentions Mobolaji Bank Anthony as one of the wealthiest men in Nigeria as of 1965. Yet, despite having such stupendous wealth, Mr. Bank Anthony did not buy himself a Rolls Royce. What he did with his money was to build a series of free hospitals, which he donated to the Lagos government, including the Ikeja General Hospital, and the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi.

You may be confusing loud ostentatiousness for wealth.

Eight persons were mentioned as the wealthiest people in Nigeria by Time in 1965. They include:

Sanusi Dantata, 46
Odumegwu Ojukwu, 66
Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, 59
Emmanuel Akwiwu, 43
Shafi Lawal Edu, 54
Timothy Adeola Odutola, 63
Ade Tuyo, 63
Bayo Braithwaite, 36

Of the eight, five were from the Lagos-Ogun axis. One was from Kano. One from Port Harcourt, and one from Nnewi.

I hope this helps you understand history better.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Smh. Please go and read about Chief Ajasa Akitoye, Shitta-Bey, Vaughan, Darocha, Cardoso etc and their families before anyone outside Yorubaland part of Southern Nigeria even stepped foot in Lagos.

Even the highly admired Sir Louis Ojukwu came much later to Lagos and it's poor history to regard him to be richer than those he met as highly successful and very wealthy in Lagos before he came to Lagos. It's unfair and disrespectful when you blame others for Nigeria not blessing you when all you do is curse Nigeria.

Read below

This is from the many private documentations compiled by archivist Pa Oloko Alli-Balogun, an octogenarian from Lagos.

The population of Lagos Colony was analysed into 'Yoruba' and 'Non-Yoruba' tribes:

1. Eko tribe had fallen from 57% in 1872 to 23.6% 20 years later.
2. Popo or Egun tribe was 15.85%,

3. Other Yoruba groups
Oyo - 11.6%
Ijebu - 11.01%
Awori - 9.26%
Egba - 6.05%
Ijesha - 4.32%
Egbado - 3.63%
Ekiti/Efon people - 1.76%

4. Non-Yoruba groups
Nupe/Tapa - 1.86%
Hausa - 1.86%
The Kru - 1.37%.

The strength of the Eko tribe was concentrated in Wards A, B, C and D of Lagos Town and Harbour, and the Central District of Ebute Metta/Yaba.

The Aworis were concentrated in the Central District and the Popo's or Egun in the Western District.
