I am not Ibo but I'll say my mind here.
I believe that the Ibos are more richer than any other tribes in Nigeria. There are many millionaires scattered amongst them that a concentrated few that are billionaires in the West or North.
When wealth circulates amongst a group, there's always reduction in poverty.
I have been to many Ibo communities due to the nature of my jobs, Omo, you'll be able to count how many mud houses in each community, if at all you'll find any.

Congratulations to those listed by Forbes but please spread the wealth so as to reduce poverty in your regions.
You'll hardly see Dangote, Dantata and all those few billionaires in the North have a foundation where they can lift people from poverty in their region, educationally.

Why?

THREE NIGERIANS MAKE FORBE LIST OF 50 WEALTHIEST BLACK AMERICANS 2024

Only three Yoruba - Nigerians made it to the list Adebayo Ogunlesi, Tope Awotona, and Wemimo Abbey.

Forbes has unveiled its 2024 ForbesBLK 50 list, celebrating the achievements of the wealthiest and most influential Black Americans.

What Forbes said

Adebayo Ogunlesi, with a net worth of $1.7 billion, stands out as a pioneering force in global infrastructure investment. As chairman and co-founder of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), Ogunlesi led the private equity firm through a transformative acquisition by BlackRock in 2024 for $12.5 billion.

Tope Awotona, the founder and CEO of Calendly, has redefined efficiency in scheduling and holds a net worth of $1.4 billion.

Wemimo Abbey, at just 32, is the youngest Nigerian on the list and cofounder of Esusu, an African fintech company addressing financial inclusion. Esusu helps renters build credit by reporting rent payments to credit bureaus, a service utilized by more than 20,000 properties and benefiting 1.8 million Americans.

Congratulations to them, This shows that you do not need to do anything illegal to be recognized. It does not come as a surprise that only men from the Yoruba Ethnic group made it to the list.

I've been to a lot of countries, and I must say that the cost of living in Switzerland is really high. The average price of a bottle of water here is $5. When I arrived last week, I spent 55 dollars on a pack of bottled water, which didn't even last for a week. I've been here for 9 days now, and I must say that my bank account is really feeling the heat. Everything here is damn expensive. Switzerland is for the rich abeg. Nothing anybody wan tell me. Today, when I went shopping for groceries, I thought I was going to spend not more than 80 dollars, but to my utmost surprise, I ended up spending over 200 dollars on little items. When I was in Norway, Australia and Netherlands, I thought that the cost of living was high (these countries are quite expensive to live in), but this is just on another level. I'm leaving here on Saturday abeg, before my account starts wailing.

Guys, let me use this medium to drop a piece of advice. If anyone is advising you to leave Nigeria, show gratitude to that person, because he/she wants the best for you. I've been touring for 6 months now, and I must confess that Nigeria is a sh*thole. This is actually an understatement. If there was a worse word to use to attribute Nigeria, I'd have used it. Once I'm done with my travels, I'm permanently relocating to a European country. I'm just using this medium to gather my facts first, before making a final decision.

I'm an American citizen by birth, but I've not lived there for 2 straight years; I've been on and off. America is kinda cool, but I've no interest in living there permanently. UK and Canada are for introverted people, in my own opinion. Right now, I'm thinking of maybe Sweden or Germany for permanent relocation. I was forced to learn Deutsch, because I studied in Germany from 2016-2022; before relocating back to Nigeria, to handle my Dad's businesses. I learn languages fast, but it took me 6 months to almost perfectly learn Deutsch language. I now speak English, French, Spanish, Deutsch, Latin, and a little bit of Hebrew. I'll be posting more with time. Merry Christmas in advance guys.

North-Central All Progressives Congress, APC, Forum has said the Northern region will stand behind President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

The APC Forum, in a statement on Monday, released after a meeting in Abuja on Sunday, said the region would vote for President in the 2027 presidential election.

The statement, signed by Chairman of the North-Central APC Forum, Saleh Zazzaga, stressed that the Forum decided to endorse Tinubu for a second term because his administration has extended several opportunities to the North-Central since he assumed office as President in 2023.

The development is coming on the heels of opposition to Tinubu’s reelection by the Arewa Consultative Forum and its youth wing, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum.

In a recent communique signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Professor Tukur Muhammad-Baba, the ACF announced that it would support northerners running for the presidency in 2027.

Also, the AYCF, in a statement by its President, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, said the North regrets supporting Tinubu in the 2023 elections.

The group warned that the North might oppose Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027 unless significant changes are made to improve the country’s socio-economic conditions.
