Egbejule should do a better job next time...Kano has more multi-billionaires than Nnewi...And Sir Ojukwu wasn't the wealthiest man of his day.Just because the Queen used his rolls-royce didn't mean anything...You don't even know the net worth of those you wrote about.

sangresan:
This is a poorly-researched piece...Most of the tidbits were actually picked up online...No real effort to ascertain the veracity of some of the claims...How many billionaires are from Nnewi as compared to Kano?Many of the readers outside Nigeria may not know sha.

laudate:
Madam, if Egbejule is not an Igbo name, then kindly tell us what part of Nigeria bears that name. Is it an Efik name or an Igala name or a Kanuri name? Forbes relies on writers to supply it with stories. Or does Forbes manufacture stories from thin air? Are there robots who insert those stories inside Forbes? There are no lies or propaganda anywhere. Such traits are the stock in trade of your people.

Madam, if you must argue, please do so like an educated person and not an ignorant one. Even a primary school pupil, knows that newspapers and magazines rely on journalists to supply them with stories. The argument is not about whether Forbes published it or not, but who wrote the story. The fact that you are spewing insults left and right shows how pained you are. Try to get over it. Thanks.

laudate:
Forbes is a magazine. It does not research, and produce content by itself. Its' stories are supplied by writers from different parts of the world. In this case, the particular story under reference was written by Eromo Egbejule, (who is an ex-writer for The Guardian Newspaper in Lagos) and published in the magazine called Forbes. Deal with it. Or is that too difficult for you to understand?

laudate:
That Forbes article was not well researched in my humble opinion. What was all that story about using Ojukwu's Rolls Royce to chauffeur the Queen around during her visit?


No, in this case the Igbo writer of that article in Forbes made a blunder, by rushing to press without crosschecking the facts of his story.

NaoSlay:
Igbo's and Lie's ehn. See how they believed it , even saying Ojukwu is the first billionaire , Dangote is the first ever billionaire.


When will Igbo's stop being decieved??

Lloydfolarin:
And that's why millions of your kinsmen are immigrants in the supposed brain dead regions.

Olodo...

Your region is the most backward region in Nigeria if you must know.

And that's why other Nigerians don't go there hence your mass unemployment.

Peacefullove:
I can very much understand this is a joyful thing, BUT must we post everything online ?

Life itself is unpredictable , not to mention the humans ... People change, Though I don't pray for such regarding this pretty Nurse . But we won't deny there are cases of people Breaking up after proposing , Infact a day to wedding . This things happen But the point is , if we post everything online, Can't such pictures come back to haunt us if things doesn't go as expected ?

We are joyful buy yet we need to be wise

Leave them, they where born with so much pain in their blood stream

Aufbauh:
Anything that makes them feel good they should kotinu.

The irony is that the people who pride themselves as the average richest people in Africa are still the ones crying victimization and marginalization.

Eshinwaju:
This is why it is important to counter the dirty lies from the land of the erosion ravaged beasts because before....you know it....their lies becomes accepted as truth... .....as soon as I read that first few lines...I just wrote off the rest.....

MayorofLagos:
This is the foundation for the article. Everything here is embellished and spawn in falsehood.

The first Nigerian billiionaire was a shipping magnate by name Henry Fajemirokun. The first to own RollsRoyce was Kano Emirate, followed by Fajemirokun. Sir Ojukwu never had a Rolls.

StOla:
I thought those Palestinians said it is a city?

How dare Forbes call it a small town?

I ordinarily hear them say Anambra has 3 cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, as opposed to 3 small towns.

I am from the creeks myself after years of aboding in the diaspora went back home and was shocked at the high level of ignorance and backwardness in the Niger Delta,no public infrstructure whatsoever after all the trillions of Naira from the Federal Government,

Woeful leadership at it's highest thanks to the likes of odili,ibori,alams,jonathan goodluck,uduaghan,ifeanyi okowa to mention a few,the Niger Delta is a brain drain,no innovative thinking all they do is collect free money from the Federal Government,steal and mismanage the majority of their allocation and use the remainder money to pay state workers that contributed nothing just an over bloated work force without productivity.

Mr budaphest keep dreaming of your ogogoro republic it is quite obvious you don't live in the Niger Delta if not you won't be spitting these trash based on ignorance of what is truly happening on ground.

They say it is our oil?I haven't seen one refinery or petrol chemical plant built by any state government whether single handedly or collectively in the Niger Delta, a governor like okowa of Delta state takes pride in opening so called state of the art petrol stations,mumu people. You talk of crude oil?what happened to timber,palm oil,rubber,mechanized fishing,innovation and human capital?

I am from from the south west, Let me make a prediction: if we all go our way Sw will be the biggest beneficiaries, SS will finally be able to use their OIl to develop their region...although a lot of it will be looted, North will finally be forced to develop the many agricultural and minral potential in the North though it will take a while and the SW will be in constant turmoil because as a nation you have no moral values left and the Ibo man is always in constant confrontation even with his own shadow. The countdown has begun......Mark my words, the SE will be the worst hit.

and somebody on the other side was given N10000 for coming out with first class ...

allrightsir:
You dey mind those ones? Niger Delta have a legitimate case, they have been raped and their land destroyed for years with nothing to show for it. The situation in Ibo land is as a result of the fact that it is made up of ibo people. There is never peace anywhere they go, even amongst themselves they fight. I before others (IBO), that's been the bane of the Ibo man from day 1

omenka:
Thesame pigs and idiots who claim they love Benue people and keep attaching themselves by force to Igedes and Idomas had a revival of wànkfest on a thread concerning herdsmen attack in Benue earlier today.

The way they celebrated the news would make someone think they've just been granted their imaginary Potor Republic, whereas they were simply celebrating the death of a people whose fertile lands they are desperate to grab due to the barrenness of their own land lands. So barren is their land that the harvest of five onions resulted in their creation of almost ten chestbeating Potor threads!

Now we have this.. They'd most definitely crawl back into their dingy burrows awaiting the next bad news about Benue state so they can have another carnival.
