Pat is Igbo when it's convenient for them, but Niger Delta when they choose to be foolish... Trust them at your own peril! Akabuking: |
Pat Utomi enemy of the state. Chinese company, dubious... And a dubious court has ordered seizure of three Planes owned by NIGERIA. This Amosun get luck say no be military, na firing squad for end am! Such a dubious fellow! |
Reno Omokri didn't know he's a victim of his own post! His lack of respect for Asiwaju prior to 2023 elections is the reason why he's jobless despite all the shalaye he does to curry favor! Beremx: |
More Money, More Problems: Inside The Bitter Family Feuds Of America’s Richest Billionaire David and his brother Charles bought out the stakes in Koch Industries owned by Bill and their eldest brother Frederick (d. 2020) in 1983. Bill and Frederick thought they were shortchanged and spent nearly two decades suing for more before finally settling in 2001. When one member of a billionaire family died in September, his will specified precisely how to spread his fortune among the members of his family, including his children, his stepchildren and his siblings—except, the will commands, for his sister Susan. It was the latest development in a long-running fight among members of the Gore family, one of the wealthiest in America, that stretches back decades. They’re far from the only fractured ultra-wealthy brood. Among the 50 clans on Forbes’ latest list of America’s Richest Families, at least six have gone through very bitter—and very public—family feuds, including legal battles over trust funds, sham adoptions and even murder accusations. Here are the six billionaire American families whose fierce infighting shows that money—even billions of dollars—doesn’t always buy happiness: Gore Family: A Fight Over The Share Of The Gore-Tex Inheritance Net worth: $8.2 billion Bill Gore (d. 1986) and his wife Genevieve (d. 2005)—founders of W.L. Gore, the company behind waterproof fabric Gore-Tex—created a powder keg when they set up a system of trusts for their grandkids that awarded larger shares of their estates to larger branches of the family. Three of their four children produced four grandkids each; one child, their daughter Susan, only had three kids. That meant her children would inherit far fewer shares from the trusts than their cousins. So in 2003 Susan took matters into her own hands, legally adopting her 65 year old ex-husband as her “child” to increase her branch of the family’s inheritance. The move—which infuriated the rest of the Gore family—didn’t work. The ex-husband reneged on his promise to give his shares to their children, and in 2012 the Delaware Supreme Court ruled that neither the ex-husband nor Susan’s children were entitled to the shares. The family never seemed to get over it. When Bob Gore, Susan’s brother, died this September, his will made his feelings crystal clear: The document states if none of his children or their issue were living at the time of his death, his estate should be divided among his siblings—“not including Susan.” Koch Family: Two Siblings’ Sellers Remorse Over Conglomerate Koch Industries Net worth: $100 billion Before they became vilified for their support of the Tea Party and their conservative political influence, the Koch family fought amongst themselves. In 1980, William (Bill) Koch tried to wrest control of family-owned Koch Industries and was immediately fired. Three years later, he and his brother Frederick sold their shares in the family conglomerate, founded by their father Fred Koch (d. 1967), back to their brothers Charles and David for more than $700 million. Then Bill and Frederick decided they were shortchanged and spent the next 18 years suing for more before finally settling in 2001. Since then, the diversified company has grown to $115 billion in revenues from businesses including pipelines, chemicals, Dixie cups and Stainmaster carpet. Charles, who is worth $44.9 billion, and David, who died in August 2019 at age 79, have appeared on Forbes’ ranks of the richest Americans. David’s wife Julia and their three children inherited David’s 42% stake in Koch Industries. Forbes pegs Bill’s net worth at $1.5 billion. Frederick, an art-lover who never became a billionaire, stayed under the radar and died in February 2020. Pritzker Family: An 18-Year-Old’s Lawsuit Over A Trust Fund Net worth: $32.5 billion Hyatt Hotel heiress Liesel Pritzker was only 18 years old when she filed a $6 billion lawsuit against her father and 11 older cousins, alleging that they looted her and her brother Matthew’s trust funds. Her father, Robert Pritzker, who was divorced from her mother Irene, had begun to tinker with his children's trusts and donated their share in the family holding company to the family foundation. Years later when her cousins planned to divvy up the fortune, they left Liesel and her brother out. "This is not about cash," the heiress told Forbes in 2003. "It's not like I think if we win, it'll be: 'Buy the Bentley! Bling bling!.’" She added: "I filed because I wanted to know what happened. It's going to be tricky, and it will take a long time.” Once the battle was over, Liesel walked away with $500 million. The settlement of her suit led to splitting up the family fortune and creating nearly a dozen billionaire Pritzkers, including Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker, who is the nation’s richest politician, worth $3.4 billion. Goldman Family: No Mom, We Want Your Share Of The Real Estate Empire Net worth: $13.2 billion When he died in 1987, Sol Goldman was the richest landlord in New York City, with properties that had once included the historic Chrysler Building. Shortly after his death, Sol’s four kids and his estranged wife Lilian began battling over the inheritance. Sol and Lilian had filed for divorce in 1983, but they attempted to reconcile; in 1984 they signed a formal agreement granting Lillian 33% of his estate. That was later challenged by her children, but after 5 years of lawsuits, the agreement stuck. When Lillian died in 2002, her estate was divided nearly equally among her children, according to court documents. “Since that time, the family has resolved all outstanding disputes and all members are very close with one another,” a statement provided to Forbes in 2016 said. Rollins Family: A Greek Tragedy—And A Nearly Decade-Long Lawsuit Net worth: $13.1 billion For decades, the Rollins family was known for two things: its Orkin pest control business, which helped them make a fortune, and throwing lavish parties in Georgia. Founded by two siblings, Wayne and John, in 1948, Rollins Inc. pulled in $2 billion in sales in 2019 and is the biggest pest control company by revenues in North America. Yet the extravagant parties are no more. Wayne's sons, Randall (d. August 2020) and Gary, joined the family business and later became chair and president, respectively. In 2010, Gary's four children sued their father and uncle, claiming they were being denied their rightful cash allocations. Around the same time, Gary’s wife Ruthie filed for divorce from Gary after 45 years of marriage. "It's like a Greek tragedy," one of the family members told Forbes in 2014. After nine years of legal battles and two weeks into a jury trial, the family reached a confidential settlement in 2019. One account describes the four adult children who sued walking across the courtroom in tears to hug their father and their uncle. Shoen Family: The Clan’s Fight For Control Of U-Haul Net worth: $9 billion Three decades after husband and wife duo L.S. Shoen and Anna Mary Shoen cofounded the truck and trailer rental company U-Haul, L.S. and his eldest son, Samuel, expanded the company into new and arguably unrelated businesses: rentals of video tapes, dance floors and jet skis. Two other children, Joe and Mark, thought he was wrecking the company. Joe staged a coup in 1986, took control of the company and forced his dad into retirement—alienating most of his 12 siblings and half-siblings (L.S. remarried after his first wife died). The family was mired in lawsuits for 25 years. At one point, L.S. even accused his estranged sons of taking part in the murder of Samuel's wife in 1990, before a paroled rapist confessed. L.S., who told Forbes in 1994 that Joe was mentally ill, died by suicide in 1999. The last of the litigation concluded in 2012. Both Joe and his brother Mark each own roughly one-fifth of U-Haul parent Amerco, where Joe is president and chairman. Culled from Forbes. Now, the usual online miscreants won't see anything wrong because their lazy ass ain't fit to articulate an insult for the white race! |
Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣.... We don dilute the lies of Reno Omokri and make it off no consequences of the intended harm they plotted! Las Las na them go use their hand chop Reno, and we and umu Oduduwa go still settle! technicallyrich: |
That's why they're the master race! Travel out and see for your self! You call out erring elders, not urgent them on in their errors, just like dome dementias did on Buhari, even when they knew, he's a little better than an idiot! wediehere1: |
Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣... what a subtle sneaky squeaky post! I have seen how many retaliations you have given Saudi Arabia for the Ronus on death row for drug peddling into the kingdom of the Saud! Anywhere, we Sabi una Sha! Oga educator wey never educate Ronus killing teenegers purportedly for money ritual purposes! And for your information, I don't hate the Yorubas. A lot of them are my besties, favorites and friends except for the Ronus off course! Are good Yoruba or a crazed out Ronu? Buccalcavity2: |
Bunch of deplorables... right? I never insulted anyone since I made this post...not even una elites, off which some ain't dour pussies nor the jobless miscreants here! My mouth no good ohh! PaZwoD: |
Ohhh...you think they don't know what I wrote is true? If you're born in 60s - 80s and you don't know of the Ghanaians in education, shoe mending and hair care sectors, then your birth place ought to be questioned These two authors are well known. Ababio = Chemistry. PN Okeke = Physics. I'm still thinking of our Oluwole Profs the ones they wrote....not the plagiarized jargons copy paste thing though! And, from a people who lost an estimated 3 million men, women and children! Na waohh for these coconut head Master Race in Africa! The Black Aryans! ariesbull: |
The thing is that do many of you don't understand the concept of living as compatriots in the same country... If for instance, you lots didn't drag the Igbos back, and still using all sorts of gimmick to prolong the eventual collapse of Nigeria (G-d forbid), you lots could design laws and rules that even ban foreigners, Igbos inclusive from coming to umu Oduduwa republic with less than $20,000. Yea... But you can't claim to Nigerians and while enjoying the gas from Abia and Imo States, via power grind and shouting Igbo must go! It's a sign of follow come madness! Check out all the Must go you guys championed, it led to eventual collapse of something! Ghana must go = eventual collapse of th education sector. Jonathan must go = collapse of Nigeria FX and economy. Igbo must go = Sanwo Olu quickly deport some of the miscreants back to Oshogbo. I guess that's where some of you lots are posting from. Even the drunkard south Africans know quite well, that a White must go campaign will make SA look like Zimbabwe! I wish all of una good luck Sha. Since we the moderate democrats no get levels, maybe na the hardliners go get levels ni! MIKOLOWISKA: |
Because non was actually created! The builder of Lagos has suddenly ran out of building materials! OkCornel: |
More like monkeys who took over a car and can't figure out how to ride it...damn! kettykin: |
Do you dey claim Afenmai? Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣. Go find your Papa ohhh. Afenmai people no dey support bad thing, and if they mistakenly do, they quickly learned and kick against it. Go ask Aisha Yusuf! AntiMarxist: |
Because treachery is unpardonable in military... He could have honorably declined his Command, but he accepted and stop short at the point of victory. Giving Awol, his kinsman and Gowon aple time to rally the Brits to Airlift of military adviser's and weapons! And still had the effrontery to come back! What the fvck was he thinking? He would be welcomed with flowers? Na that treacherous DNA still dey cause wahala till date! AntiMarxist: |
That's where the foolishness of bigots like you come up! If HE Peter Obi, a refined, prudent gentleman of international repute talks about ills from other places and gents from Oduduwa talks about ills from SE, don't you think Nigeria will be better off? But hell no! You must defend failure back to back! Continue please. Even ordinary abokis don Sabi una finish! TopBanter:

Ohh he's from Afenmai... Can't be! Maybe he doesn't know who beget him, and conveniently claim wherever! RuggedBiafran: |
Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 RuggedBiafran: |
You appears to be sound and I will take note of this moniker. AntiMarxist: |
How is that supposed to be your business? What two consenting adults who have seen their unclothedness do with themselves shouldn't bother you, me or anyone sensible! Olatara: |
If Late Col Victor Banjo, fine refined classic, well schooled Yoruban wasn't struck by treacherous thunder ⚡ bolt from Oduduwa, and relayed the Core Military signal he was trusted to relay, by now, even you sef for dey enjoy good governance! But Sha, na only Oduduwa know why he released the shots Sha! yommen: |
In the picture you post, Now underline the following! Rising unemployment = Lazy ass covetous Ronus who think the Ghanaians were stealing jobs! Heightened nationalism = modern day Ronus miscreants who fake a clandestine Oduduwa kingdom but we Sabi una Type of nationalism Sha. How to diplomatically evict people because una no get the mind to do am like South Africans! Do who influenced Shagari Govt with riots & protests? Na Igbo people wey just come of war with Britain/Soviet Union? TopBanter: |
Some of them are like ostrich. The most foolish bird, G-d created. They'll his their head in a hole and pretend their bodies is hidden as well! babasolution: |
I know your knowledge is low. Go read works by Max Müller, Otto Von Schrader and Rudolph Von Jhering..... The Japanese are recognized as the Asian Aryan. You can not take it away from them. In Africa, off course, the white, blonde haired, blue eyed, thin skin Aryans knows who is who! I don't need to tell you it's the Dot.com nation of the Igbos you can find them! AntiMarxist: |
Hahaha 🤣 this one no be new strain of madness so? You dey post comments, and then reply yourself with another moniker!!! Nothing wey Bulablu no go cause for this Economy! PressMyButton: |
This has nothing to do with Biafra. It's talking about those whose stock in trade is a penchant for telling others to go! Ghana must go! It worked, and the education sector collapsed as a result! Igbo must go! Sanwo Olu was ready,and quickly deported the trouble makers back to Oshogbo.... Niger Delta don try secede through Ijaw man, Adaka Boro. Hausa people don try Araba.... Igbos kwanu? They don even fight una and the joint military might of UK/Soviets. But umu Oduduwa..... hahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 una so love the hellhole una nourished! Enjoy Biko! PressMyButton: |
I never heard the Swedes, the Germans, the Dutch, the Americans or other Aryan race talk of non respect... only lazy ass, covetous Africans like Ronus miscreants and south African drunkards! Fvck, them no Sabi, strength of mind to find money, them no Sabi only a penchant for envying! Igbos are the Black Aryans of Africa. Make una rest Biko! AntiMarxist: |
Remind me again the peeps who resist do viciously any talk of freedom for the Dot.com Nation of the Igbos! When they talk, you will think they will support you when the object of the talk is discussed! Umu Ronu make una rest na, abi no be raining season be this for Nigeria. Aunty Remi say make una go farm instead of beheading people for money ritual ni... AntiMarxist: |
Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣..... Remind me again the peeps who think beheading a teen will make him a millionaire? AntiMarxist: |
We don't retaliate foolishness! Even you lots shout Igbo must go from now till ninety kpirigidim....we won't kick you motherfvckers out of the Dot.com Nation of the Igbos! Except off course, the troublesome killer herdsmen. We love healthy competition. AntiMarxist: |
Before any policies pass, there are shadowy lobby groups who mount pressure. Yes, you are right Shagari & Ekweme were president & vice. The Ghanaians Mostly left for you guys to eat your country. You expect some of them to stay when you make a policy that targets them openly! Why haven't you guys retaliate to South Africa? Because the Zulus don't have shit here you covet! Abi na MTN, una quickly roll out Globacom! Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Buccalcavity2: |
For the fact that up till now, you haven't realized how Ronus bore the burden of responsibilities for the current state of Nigeria makes me pity you though! I know of a people who sold a lazy ass coupist as a messiah, and worked around the clock to defend the failure for 8 damn years. Even Buhari people no defend Buhari like una. I'm so glad they're rubbing it you people face, that indeed they hate that you supported a failure! TopBanter: |
During late Shagari admin, the Igbos were a defeated, dragged back to a forced Union. Most our intelligentsia were dead, in hiding or on exile. I don't need to tell you of my own parents. While the Christian North were so sympathetic to the Igbo man, granting consensus to give him a sense of belonging, the Fulani and Ronus found a new struck friendship as they remember their fears.... The fears that made Sir Bello grant a deeply damaging interview to a British journalist (make I send you link) calling for economic exclusion of the igbos, and the fears that made late Awol to grant free education to SW! Ain't you surprised the Igbo leader's never did any of these? Because Igbo life na healthy competition! So tell me how the Igbos influence the Ghana must go campaign? It has nothing to do with tarnish but those whose perchance for shouting Igbo must go... Ghana must go....leave our Lagos.. hahahahaha TopBanter: |
