HellVictorinho6: how are they rubbish ? Bill Gates himself has donated more money to Nigeria than any other Nigerian so-called Billionaire. Now you have the guts to call him rubbish? C'mon now Every day millions in that country call Nigeria uses WhatsApp a subsidiary of Facebook All over the world, the most used information Database is Oracle Database along with its Suites of Business Modules (Larry Ellison) Just imagine the current world without the World Wide Web (America Development) Trust me America with all her shortcomings has contributed a lot to mankind all over this world. Personally, it is inconceivable for me to imagine anywhere else in this world where I could be living the kind of lifestyle I am presently living. Own a house with my boat mooring at the back leading to the Gulf right here in Florida. Blessed with a beautiful wife of 29 years from Ijebu Igbo, and two grown-up boys now on their own. Partner not too shabby for a boy born and raised on Olisa Street Ijebu Ode attended Ebenezer Primary School Oke Ado Ibadan. |

Is it really right for somebody employing fifty people to be described as self made?. Given that artisans who do not employ at all can not really be described as self made because they had a master at one point. |

None of those Nigerian billionaires mentioned are self made. It's all government money. It's the South African ones that are self made. |

Omoawoke2: So for your mind now only three billionaires exist in Nigeria. Keep deceiving yourself. Since Adenuga and Dangote are billionaires, so all northern and Western people are not poor again. That is the mentality that has kept Majority of you guys poor. Always waiting for Dangote to share #200 each to you people everyday. Tueh! The children of the rising sun are not trained to live life like that. We hustle like tommorow no dey. That's our spirit |

/ I love Statistics. In a country of 200 million people, if only 10 Nigerians are billionaires out of 15 in the whole Africa, that represents 66% of African billionaires. On the surface it looks commendable. But then no considerations for the remaining 199,000,090 of which majority are in abject poverty earning the country the poverty capital of the world. Some people will finish drinking garri and come out to rejoice about the news. Let them tell us the numbers instead of percentages. / |

Lol ! Where are the Nzogbu Nzogbu audio Billionaires,those empty chestbeating braggarts from Alaigbo ?! When we tell these loudmouthed braggarts from that erosion ravaged land of hinterland bushmen that as far as the economy of Nigeria is concerned,the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani are effectively in charge ! The truth is what's starring at their ugly,bitter faces up there now ! In the picture above are two Yorubas and two Hausa/Fulani - * Mike Adenuga - Yoruba * Mrs Alakija. - Yoruba * Dangote - Hausa/Fulani * Rabiu - Hausa/Fulani "Everybody in Igboland is a billionaire","Igbo girls are the best","Igbo food is the best"," We are Jews","It was USA,UK,Egpty,Russia,etc that combined to defeat Igbo during the civil war"," Without Igbo,Nigerian economy will collapse", "Igbo developed Lagos,Johannesburg,NewYor" Igbo this and Igbo that,whereas all available evidences,statistics and verifiable facts have never supported any of their claims ! Mtchew,yeye 2x2 shops and useless Plazas audio Billionaires,shior ! |

cyrusmillz: Mike Adenuga was busy in America driving taxis until his friend who was the son of a Brigadier introduced him to his father. He returned to Nigeria, got connected to IBB and got army contracts to build barracks, etc. Thereafter he ventured into tomato puree importation, got money, purchased Devcon merchant bank and Equitorial trust bank. They sold former national oil to him, which became Conoil, as he through his military contacts, ventured into oil. The rest became history. He made his riches through the military. The same with Dangote who got a loan from his maternal Uncle, Dantata. They used the advantage of their region and the military too. He has always been in the news using government to support himself, while fighting other to stay at the top. Folorunsho Akakija, known in the eighties as Supreme stitches. A popular fashion designer with military connections. Story of her rise through IBB, who gave her the oil block is not hidden. Which one of them can you address as “self made”? They made it through government please and not through skills or industry. 1 Like |
