When will she speak her mother tongue .

She is pandering to black voters, while she has made highest incarceration black males in her jurisdiction.

Iam least bothered about yourba or igbo fight .

Why is she not open about her Indian roots and her numerous visitations to her mother hometown in India.

Business / SA Billionaire Overtakes Dangote As Africa’s Richest Man by EKONGKING: 2:34pm On Aug 28
SA billionaire overtakes Dangote as Africa’s richest man


South African billionaire Johann Rupert has overtaken Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote as Africa’s richest person, according to the latest data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Mr Rupert controls Richemont, one of the world's largest luxury goods firms, which owns brands like Cartier and Montblanc.
His net worth has surged by $1.9bn to $14.3bn, placing him at 147th position globally, 12 places ahead of Mr Dangote.
The Nigerian's fortune has fallen by $1.7bn (£1.3bn) this year, giving him a net worth of $13.4bn, Bloomberg reports.


The downturn in Mr Dangote’s wealth underscores Nigeria’s challenging economic environment, where his conglomerate primarily operates.
Since President Bola Tinubu assumed office last year, he has introduced several economic reforms in Africa’s most populous nation, including the removal of fuel subsidies, which have contributed to high inflation, currently over 30%.

Mr Tinubu said the reforms were necessary to cut government spending and stimulate long-term growth.
Africa’s richest man says he doesn’t own a home outside Nigeria

The sharp fall in the value of the naira has significantly affected Mr Dangote, whose wealth is largely tied to assets denominated in the local currency.
The 66-year-old businessman made his wealth in the cement and sugar industries - and last year opened an oil refinery in Nigeria's economic hub, Lagos.
His business empire, the Dangote Group, has also faced numerous setbacks in recent months due to production delays at its refinery and supply chain disruptions.
He was listed by Forbes magazine in January as Africa's richest man for the 13th year in a row despite the country's economic difficulties.
But the latest Bloomberg index places him second in Africa and 159th globally.
The rise in Mr Rupert's net worth was buoyed by strong performances in the luxury goods sector.
As well as the Switzerland-based Richemont, his other holdings include Remgro, a South African investment vehicle with stakes in more than 30 companies, Bloomberg reports.
He inherited the family business from his father, Anton Rupert, and has expanded it from mostly tobacco to become a multi-billion-dollar luxury goods venture.
The businessman attended the University of Stellenbosch to study economics but dropped his studies to join his father’s business in 1984.
Mr Rupert has been vocal about political and environmental issues in South Africa and campaigned against white-minority rule. He has received several awards for his business activities.
The billionaire lives in Cape Town, where he owns a lavish mansion, but he also has properties in Geneva and London.
Nicky Oppenheimer, another South African billionaire, was ranked the third richest person in Africa with a net worth of $11.3bn, followed by Nassef Sawiris, an Egyptian businessman, with a fortune of $9.48bn.
South African investor Natie Kirsh completed the top five African billionaires list with $9.22 bn.
Like Forbes, the Bloomberg ranking monitors daily changes in the net worth of the world's wealthiest individuals.
The title of Africa's richest person may continue to change hands as market conditions fluctuate and businesses navigate complex challenges.

Nigeria as an entity cannot survive , much longer . It , can survive for a few years at maximum .

The writing is on the wall .

You can blame politicians for all , Uncontrolled population explosion in North and with no education led by politicians and religious leaders .while in South ,the get rich mentality driven by Pentacostal churhes ,which has played havoc on entire generation of southern youths .

Nigerian Politicians ,the general people and religious groups ,all share the blame .

Iam poster since 2009 and have seen Nigeria deteriorate over the years , we are competing with Bangaladesh , now and thus says a lot .

The more the southern groups try to hold on with the union ,the more they will suffer .
