Without question, Adenuga should be the richest.
He has his fingers sooo deep in the three most lucrative sectors of the economy- Oil & Gas(upstream), Telecoms and Banking! That's deep!
Dangote on the other hand is basically a trader.(no disrespect intended)

The reason Adenuga is not on Forbes is simple- no PLCs. Forbes basically makes assessments based on quantifiable wealth and for Nigeria they make do strictly with stock values.
Otedola is on the list this year because of his shares in AP. Zenon was probably barely taken into consideration!

I said Obama was conceived out of wedlock, not born out of wedlock.  These are two different things

Another triumph for the good ole family values espoused by Winkin' Sarah Palin. Maybe if she'd had a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter a few years ago, about sex, contraception and other more practical matters, her daughter wouldn't have got pregnant so early. But she was probably too busy planning her path to world domination. You betcha

The Wicked Witch of North.

Step forward all those gullible enough to have believed the 'family' charade during the election campaign. This engagement had shotgun (and convenience/damage limitation) written all over it. Or perhaps the bigots couldn't hear the guns being cocked over the priceless anti-Obama chants like "terrorist" and "kill him".

, And what's Douche Limbaugh's take on these developments?

how's the winkin freak gonna spin this, me wonders,
if americans had ANY sense of irony, they really would see this bristol saga as illustrative of conservative idiocy/lunacy on 'family/christian values (ie. abstinence etc). however,

Really? And all those evangelicals being soooooooo supportive during the campaign, And what is she now? Just another single mother. Nothing wrong with that of course, but the hypocrisy revealed is just outstanding.

It's a good thing that they're white ,God fearing, gun-toting, patriotic Republicans. Can you imagine for a second, the moral outrage that would have been on display from the likes of O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter and all the other conservative commentators had this been Chelsea Clinton, of heaven forbid, one of the Obama girls? The conservative right in America has an incredible tolerance for hypocrisy, and very little appreciation of irony.

Have you ever given it any thought that Obama was conceived out of wedlock?  Did it occur to you that his father was "a no money/education/connecions" you mentioned?  Do you realise that Obama is half black?  Exactly what is your point?

Where were you in the days of Oputa panel when Babaginda was summoned? Where were you when Obasanjo was summoned of recent?

It defeats the purpose of a mega city, when we only focus on demolishing private properties to produce this mega city. I think it is much more important to ensure the well-being of the people, the citizens that suppose to be living and doing businesses in this "mega city".

Obviously, 2 of you are not in Nigeria, so, it would be unfair to blame you for seeing things the way you do.
Oil sector in Nigeria is a well established line of business. You will make your money even if you have 1 filling station. For Conoil, the idea of having multiple filling stations close to one another is only to make life easy for their customers.
It wouldn't surprise me if Conoil is losing more money for having too many filling stations around. But it shouldn't be all about the money at all time. Some times it pays to pay more attention to your customers and your policies.

As usual, the first thing that crosses Nigerians minds is how much money Mike will be losing if this new development becomes real.
Are we thinking about people that may be losing their jobs? Are we at all thinking about the inconvenience of the customers?
How much money Mike will be losing should be the last thing on our minds. The man has passed this stage very long time ago.

so quit the delusion pls,as usual everything is either your way or no way at all

@Dapolam

Thanks for your understanding.

However, it is not enough for you to just take it in your stride, you need to reflect on the "hard facts" staring you in the face that have been exposed by this forum, and see what you can do to reposition your credibility. You should be more concerned with working on your image than chasing after house of rep.

Your assessment here is bad, but you can always make it better by charting a new course. Forget about this dream of 2011, focus on your credibility, try and build a formidable credentials over some years to come, and who knows, Oyo state peope might even be those rooting for you to contest for even Governorship in the later years.

After all said and done, I will be damn shocked to see your campaign poster for 2011 in Ibadan. And dont forget that Nairaland, as it stands now will be a good reference for your opponent to unearth the well-catalogued "sins" of the past.

A word is enough for the wise

uk requested evidence to prosecute ibori from the agf and nigerian minister of justice, mr michael aondoakaa, "as per international rules, this is how it's done". since ribadu was the person that was working on this case, mr michael aondoakaa immediately sent a message to ribadu, requesting for the evidence for review and approval before sending it to uk. ribadu acknowledged the message from the agf but did not respond for many months. uk again sent another message to the agf requesting for this information for the second time. agf again immediately sent a reminder to ribadu. ribadu acknowledged the message for the second time, but still did not release the information to the agf. few months later ribadu sent a message to the agf informing him that he (ribadu) had sent the information directly to uk. agf was very upset and notified the president and others. friends and associates of ribadu also made it clear to ribadu that he shouldn't have disrespected not only the agf and the president, but the sovereignty of nigeria. ribadu did not care and felt firmed about his decision to send the information directly to uk.
few weeks later, the judge in uk that was responsible for the case rejected the information ridadu had sent, the judge stated that the information did not have necessary signatures. therefore ibori's case was temporarily dismissed. the judge made it clear that he wasn't going to admit the evidence and proceed with the case without the signature of the agf. agf on the other hand was already very hot about the way ribadu had initially handled the situation. when the news got to nigeria, nigerians did not bother to understand the real story behind the situation, they immediately started to speculate that the agf and the presidency are fighting against "war against corruption in nigeria". this is not right, and instead of all of us being bias or choosing sides with a very little knowledge of the matter, i think we should all slow down and promote doing the right thing properly and always playing by the rules regardless of the matter. i honestly wished ribadu, as a bright and educated individual, could just relax and exhibit intellect, instead of overreacting and taking wrong steps like an illiterate man. this is a country's business we are talking about, but ribadu sees this business as his neighborhood's business and feels that he could handle it any way he wants. this is wrong and also defeats the purpose of fighting for the country. things did not have to go down this way, if he wants his legacy to stay alive for many years, he needs to cool down and go back to reevaluate his homework. not only nigerians are watching, but the entire world is also watching the display of stupidity at it's best.
of course, we all see the scenario differently, but it is clear that ridabu is wrong. just because you're dedicated to fighting for your people and your country doesn't mean you should do so any how or any way. nobody is above the law, we are all nigerian citizens before anything else, the rules should always be followed. nigeria has turned to what it is today because everybody has different rules that they follow.
this is the begining of ribadu's trouble with the fed govtmnt of nigeria.
