We at T.I.N Magazine have taken our time to compile and rank the richest people in Nigeria like we did last year June 2015. Well, within the last 12 last months a lot has happened to the Nigerian economy and a lot of people have dropped in worth only a very few increased in their worth.

The ranking was set based on the Real-time Forbes estimates of the richest personalities in Nigeria and other credible net worth raters. some people's ranking might have been judged based on 2015's most recent ranking by Forbes due to the fact they have not declared their assets and they haven't been looked into since then.

NOTE: THIS RANKING IS NOT BASED ON ANYONE'S OPINION, IT IS A COMPILED RANKING BY T.I.N MAGAZINE FROM CREDIBLE ASSETS RANKERS LIKE "FORBES", AND OTHERS.
AND THIS LIST IS STRICTLY FOR YEAR 2016.

Abubakrmusa:
lolz
crazy list...hw wld Alaga himself b @ no. 9?
and ordinary Lil mesh wld b @ no. 1?

sonofthunder:
No.
via their gods...

sonofthunder:
in terms of success?
probably because he has planted a seed of self development at the right time... why would you think a devout Christian isn't successful?
do you know a good number of "successful" people cry themselves to sleep every night?

Ryocaj:
u are high on iru... turn the list upside down... not remove some of them..

Seun:
Every culture has its own myths. They are made up to provide a sense of shared identity and to encourage good behaviour.

sonofthunder:
yes I am a serious Christian.

sonofthunder:
I'm typing from my phone so l can't elaborate on certain things or give more at a go pls bear with me... the point of the above is a fore - revelation of what God wanted to do for me.
As regards the question; with all I know about Islam so far, the answer is a No.

sonofthunder:
brother its not an argument oh. Establishing who a serious Christian is can be relative. I'll like to pass if you don't mind or better still explain what you mean by the phrase serious Christian

goldiam:
hmmm for people like the op, this is what I have to say I am not gonna force you to choose Christianity as a way of life neither are my going to make you see reason why I choose to believe in God, but one thing is for sure and I am very sure about it mark my word you will not die as a free thinker or an atheist you will die knowing the truth.
But my only pain is that you would have misled a lot of souls with this your ideology. Anyway may God help the wise ones.

sonofthunder:
seeking a personal testimony is more of you having something personally from God that wasn't passed down as a story/testimony from anybody to you. even if I give a hundred, those who have decided to be close minded would remain so (speaking generally here)... I had earlier received a promise of a job from God but on this day I was very discouraged and was thinking to myself maybe God had nothing significant or nothing at all for me. when I had a dream and the breakdown of it was a reaffirmation to my getting a job and the source/how it was going to come. within a short while, about a week or less, I got a call that confirmed everything.

polymathic:
1. The church I'm attending now is based on an experience with GOD, I prayed and fasted for 6days using scriptures and then the answer came.

2. My understanding of the WORD is not based on only teachings but on personal experience with the Holy Spirit.

3. I don't do lot of things until I experience GOD on the matter...

Note: you just need to learn to yield to the Holy Spirit and learn to hear from God... Believe me its real.. I'm only 2 years in the faith and got lotta testimonies as proofs and only FOOLS DOUBT PROOFS.

P.S. Nobody ever preached to me about being born again, its a personal experience with GOD while searching for the truth as a freethinker...

Seun:
15 - 16 years.

That's the first step. Once you get out of the bubble, it's much easier to think independently. Which church were you attending?

polymathic:
Please, try and go to church.. Been following this thread since it was created and this is actually my first comment. I was once a freethinker along with my elder brother, but today he remains a freethinker while I'm now a christian... And I've come to realize that trying to know so much about the things of GOD makes you a freethinker and then you end up an atheist.... Best thing is to focus more on having a personal experience with GOD, a clearer vision of the length and breadth and width of the Love of GOD and never forsaking the assembly of the brethren.. I'm only a babe in the faith and trust me tis been a wonderful experience...

This shows that christianity is the true religion of peace...unlike the other one who will threaten to kill and behead you but claim to be peaceful

sonofthunder:
and you think other genuine Christians never found themselves in this stage? pls make sure you taste of God and have your own personal testimony of Him... an inability to attain to that is why most people fall from God. If you notice, they always point to other peoples testimony never having/recognizing Thiers.

sonofthunder:
You seem to know the bible well... so what happened along the line?


Seun: I studied it too much? The best way to keep your faith is to read only the bible verses your pastor and daily devotionals direct you to read.

fippycbk:
A swear...
They took "Sandalili Sandalili
They took "jangolova epi motor"
They took "o singo singo"
Now they want to take this.
We will not accept it...
