With a net-worth of over three billion dollars ($3 Billion+) Nigerian born oil and Gas baron, Kase Lawal comes after David Steward, Oprah Winfery and Robert Smith as the fourth richest black person in America

While other major oil companies have dominated the news for everything from overpaid-CEOs to accounting scandals, Kase L. Lawal has been quietly building a gas and oil empire. Nigerian-born Lawal is CEO and chairman of Camac Holdings Inc., an oil and gas exploration and refining company based in Houston, Texas. Since 1986, with a combination of hardcore business sensibilities and extensive African contacts, Lawal has built his family-owned firm into a billion-dollar business. Ranked number one in 2002 and 2003 on Black Enterprise’sprestigious list of the top 100 black-owned firms in America, Camac Holdings had offices throughout the world and employed over 1000 people. Lawal’s success has spurred him to help open up the lucrative oil business—a traditionally white, male domain—to other people of color. “I want to encourage more blacks to get involved in the oil industry as entrepreneurs,” he told Black Enterprise. Left Africa to Launch Life in America

Kase Lukman Lawal was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, to a local politician and a textile trader. He told the Houston Chronicle that when he was growing up he always knew he would be a businessman though he was not sure what that business would be. Even as far away as Nigeria, the Civil Rights struggle in America rung loud and clear. Lawal was fascinated and wanted to be a part of it. So, as his siblings went off to study in England, Lawal made plans to attend a university in the United States. “My father was absolutely opposed to me coming to America,”Lawal told the Houston Chronicle. “He feared for my safety and thought it would be hard for me to adjust to the American way of education.”

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Born in Ibadan, Nigeria, Lawal moved to America in 1971
CAMAC was established by Lawal in 1986 as an agricultural trading company
Now CAMAC is a multi-billion dollar oil empire
Lawal was awarded the USAfrica Business Person of the Year in 1997
(CNN) -- Nigerian-born entrepreneur Kase Lawal is the epitome of the American dream. Arriving to the US a young, idealistic student, Lawal has carved a name for himself in one of the most competitive industries in the world: Oil.

Now head of a multi-billion dollar empire, his Houston-based company, CAMAC, is one of the largest black-owned businesses in the U.S., generating over $2 billion dollars a year.

Founded nearly 25 years ago, Lawal built CAMAC (which stands for Cameroon-American) from a small agriculture business into a global oil company. But it's taken a lot of hard work, determination and guts to get him to the top.

Born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria in 1954, Lawal became interested in America and its civil rights movement during his teens. After finally persuading his father, a local politician, to send him to university in America, Lawal headed to Georgia and then Houston, where he attended the Texas Southern University.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering in 1976, Lawal, like many of his classmates, started out as a graduate in the energy industry. First as a chemist for Dresser Industries (now Halliburton) and then as a chemical engineer with Shell Oil Refining Co.

alakija is no longer on forbe list.
https://www.forbes.com/africa-billionaires/list/




But nigga, you are too dense sha.

What you posted only list men. No women was listed.

Isabel dos Santos is the richest africa woman, why is her name not there. She's even richer than most of the me in that list, yet her name was not in the list.

Isn't that enough for your brain to ponder that that list is only for men.


In women category, Alikija is second to Isabel.

Another yoruba woman named bola shagaya from kwara state is also among the list. Though we won't consider her as billionaire because it remains small for her to get to billion dollars.

Stop disgracing your parents here and your igbo race.

To cure your ignorance read the list below

b][/b]Tribute To The Yoruba
by Reno Omokri

People often assume the Yoruba are so successful as an ethnic nationality due to their thirst for education, and how it has penetrated down even amongst their remotest rural communities. But study them. Their culture of respect opens doors for them that even education cannot open. Diplomacy gives them supremacy.

And their culture is often mistaken for what it is not by others who do not understand them as a people. What some people ignorantly call cowardice, or sycophancy, is stooping to conquer. It is both a military and diplomatic strategy.

This is what Scripture meant in 2 Corinthians 10:4 “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty”. Wisdom, courtesy, diplomacy, and praise are all weapons. A weapon is anything you can use to achieve your strategic objective. It does not always have to be a physically offensive weapon.

But are the Yorubas even cowards, as some people accuse them to be? Well, let us let the facts speak for themselves.

In the history of Nigeria, only two men have returned to Nigeria to face almost certain death even when they had the option of a very comfortable political asylum abroad. Both of them are Yoruba. In 1985, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida toppled the Buhari regime while Major General Tunde Idiagbon (mixed Yoruba/Fulani) was at Mecca yet Idiagbon returned.

In 1995, Olusegun Obasanjo (pure Owu Yoruba) was accused of planning a coup by the blood thirsty tyrant, Abacha (if you do not like that truthful description of Abacha or if you believe that 'Abacha did not loot', you can go and join him where he is) while he was away in Copenaghen.
He was informed by the then US Ambassador, Walter Carrington, that Abacha meant to arrest, try and execute him, and was offered political asylum in the United States.

He returned to face almost certain death.

What more example of bravery can there be than these two shining ones.

Furthermore, there is the apocryphal example of Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi who chose to die with the then Head of State, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, rather than abandon his guest, which he was at liberty to do.

In addition to the above, in my opinion, they are the least likely to maintain and retain their cultural values, when it clashes with other cultures.

I love how they retain their full culture when they travel abroad. It is a rarity amongst Africans. When you visit London, you may be confused if you think Yoruba is the only African language in existence.

A Yoruba man can enter a quiet bus and receive a phone call and speak in Yoruba, and won’t feel embarrassed. And I am not referring to a Johnny Just Come. I am referring to second generation Yorubas who were born and brought up in England,

I have been traveling the world from childhood, yet I have not encountered people doing that with much wider [/b]spoken African languages, such as Swahili and Hausa.

They may speak it privately in their homes abroad. but not publicly, and even if they do, it is not to the extent of the Yoruba.

It has gotten to the extent that the Metropolitan Police now recruit Yoruba speaking Constables, and Harrods now employ Yoruba speaking cashiers. Oh please do not just take my words at face value. Fact check me.

Go to Houston on a Sunday, you will see Yoruba people everywhere in their native wears, adire, plus abeti aja and eleti aja.

[b]Here in California, other Africans now draw crowd to their parties by saying ‘the Nigerians will be there.’

This will annoy other tribes, including mine, however, when foreigners talk about how cool Nigerians are, they are usually referring to Yorubas.

Take it or leave it, but the Yoruba are the most progressive Black people on the face of planet Earth.

They produced the first Black African Nobel laureate for an academic category (Wole Soyinka), and the first Black African military ruler to have voluntarily handed over to a civilian President (Olusegun Obasanjo), and the first Nigerian to win a Grammy Award (Sade Adu) as well as the first person born and bred in Africa to have won a Pulitzer Prize (Dele Olojede).

The reason why Yorubas are the biggest music stars of Nigerian origin is because they are unabashedly Yoruba. They do not try to sing or act like Westerners. They are very in-your-face with their Yoruba-ness. And when people like themselves to such a high degree, others tend to join them in liking them.

There are an estimated 15 Black billionaires on Planet Earth. Three of them are Yoruba. More than any ethnic nationality in Africa.

US President, Joe Biden, named a Yoruba man, Adewale Adeyemo, as deputy Treasury Secretary. This is the highest position to which a Black African has been appointed (not elected) in US history. Another Yoruba man, Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, became the first person on Earth to successfully perform a surgery by taking out an unborn fetus from its mother’s womb and putting it back after the surgery.

77% of all Black doctors in America, and a very large percentage of these are Yoruba.

I commend the Edekiri people (the real name of the Yoruba). You guys are oni te si iwaju.

I read from Daily trust headline that state like Abia collect more allocation from FG than they earn, but the dubious government will not reveal to you the statistics of oil and gas they are drilling from Abia or the duties Aba importers pay to Federal government when compare to any northern state outside Abuja or Southwest outside Lagos

That is the scam called "one Nigeria" for you.
