Is your name there?

Zool6:
Yes this example of what I was trying to say by 2013 Hotspot a transport navigation map app developed and own by an Igboman Chinedu Echerou was bought by Apple inc. 1.1b$ initially I didn't believe the story till I saw it on
Bloomberg
CNN
Access bank Blog
and other world leading credible media houses ,,
Apple bought Hotspot to rival Google who just bought an Israel app Waze that magnitude of Hotspot purchase to Apple inc.
After raking in over 1,1b$ in 2013 Chinedu Echerou a typical Igbo man cared less about Forbes ,,while Owotana is fixing himself at almost 4000 position on Forbes Chinedu Echerou see no need for that he is instead busy developing more apps and seating as chairman hotspot,com on Apple inc.
,Google Chinedu Echerou u will find out he is far bigger than Owotana,,Igboman hardly spend on advert compare yoruba,,,

How sad...

It is obvious you know nothing about mergers and acquisition.
The reason you equate this to selling off your spare-parts shop to another person.


You think if someone sells off hos company for that amount, they pay him the amount in cash.

Like he owns all the money?

Are there no investors?

Do you realise how this things work?
Obviously not.

Tesla was worth over 1 trillion dollars some years back.
Does that mean Elon Musk was worth 1 trillion?


Also you have been screaming publicity and media.
You mean Forbes ranks wealth based on social media presence?

Are you this thick or your frustrations have fried your brain.

So hilarious!
🤣

You should stick to buying and selling 'provisions' Oga!

Lol, billionaires indeed. Crooks that connived with military and civilian rulers to corner the country’s resources are claiming billionaires. In other places, we see billionaires with patented techs, inventions or unique products to their names. People that made lives easier for everyone and got rich out of it. Not these crooks that stole the commonwealth and made the lives of 200 million people miserable.

The funny thing is that, the same impoverished masses they made miserable would be here glorifying them out of ignorance and primitive tribalism.

You all deserve the Hobbesian lives you’re living in that hellhole.

LegendHero:


You never even heard a new one. Do you know that Nigerians are actually the richest in the world? We just don’t like to brag.

I personally know 500 billionaire and they are all selling fanyogo and gala on the street of Lagos. These guys can buy Elon Musk Tesla company and still have $400 billion left.

No try Nigerians oo. They just don’t like show off.

kingmaster2009:
I'm.still.looking for some tribe names among the billionaires....perhaps the Forbes will paste or publish second batch and include their names....

You know , the noisemaker tribe ....

Pitobi IPoB crew people

Zool6:
ebi npa wo
Is now official way of saying I m yarigba without mentioning yarigba keep fooling urself even Oni of Ife told ye all Igbo first discovered wealth and make it ,,this list is fake Otedola no even dey 10 richest Nigeria nomaly lmao



..

kingmaster2009:



You and your IBo people can challenge the Forbes list in court...since your are always bitter about people success

Oni kuure

Bestmanfornow:

Keep fooling yourself, men are on low key, he tried to flex muscle with Elumelu he placed him in his position, you guys only make noise on media🤣🤣

CoronaVirusPro:
North-Western alliance!

We own Nigeria!

Doers don’t make noise!

HBB1:



Forbes is not a tool to measure wealth and market screener is?
🤣

Would you have said this if it said Arthur Eze was worth more than Dangote or Adenuga?

So you know, Dangote's refinery is worth more than all those companies put together.

Just one company.

Stop acting like a bushman!

Cosbyrich:

lol
Elumelu that is not even worth up to $500M?
With all the noise he makes,he said he has spent up to $100M only all these years with the assistance of some foreign institutions.
Elumelu is a good man sha.

No Igbo man dead or alive is worth 500 million dollars.

Bestmanfornow:

Elumelu is far richer than Otedola, even Otedola know Elumelu no be in mate, Otedola flex muscle in AP with the help of Obasanjo to take over the majority shares in Ap, the flex his muscle in First bank, he wanted to try that in Transcorp, Elumelu placed him where he belong 🤣😂🤣

Bestmanfornow:

We know all the criminal politicians that own Dangote group, these are men that built their companies with all the wicked government policies targeting them they are still striving

Wilson500:


Oga rest
Elumelu is no dollar billionaire
You know nothing about the business world
All i see is a tribalistic fellow trying to validate his tribesmen as dollar billionaires which clearly they are not

Maysdevices:



In saner climes, there are no billionaire salesmen rich from using their national resources to make wealth?


That’s a lie and you know that


What natural resource did Mike Adenuga of Globacom corner in question?


The problem of Nigerians are their lack of proper education, complete lack of integrity, confidence in their ignorance and greed… Get this combination in a country and any wolf looking from above will be glad to use it to his or her advantage


I would take this write up seriously if I knew you could say these things to their faces confidently, but you do not even know where to start complaining from if you were given a mic and a platform to do so

Simply because you possess surface level knowledge about these things, you lack the vision and ambition

Wilson500:
I laugh when i see people saying how come Mr A is not a dollar billionaire when he has 5 companies, 5 private jets and 50 aircrafts

I blame YouTubers for this because they just dish out billions of dollars as net worth when ranking richest men in Nigeria without doing thorough research

Why many of these well known businessmen are not on Forbes billionaire list is the amount of debt or liability they have....Truth be told a lot of them borrow
to fund their enterprises, hence these affects their net worth when been ranked by Forbes

Please you people should stop seeing things along ethnic line
We as a country are too tribalistic and its really affecting our development as a nation

Politicans are not included on Forbes billionaire list for obvious reasons.
It might be true that Putin is richer than Elon Musk but will still not be on the list because he is a politician

Nigeria has just few dollar billionaires, whether silent or well known

because

1 billion dollar is miles ahead of 1 billion naira


Namaste

Zool6:
Lmao
Arthur Eze of Atlas Oranto largest oil exploration company in Nigeria given out over 5b naira to celebrate his birthday like is pure water Kido u need some choco though


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqPRBAV6o-Q


In Nigeria, when it comes to self made individuals, after Damgote, Rabiu and Adenuga. No one comes close to Arthur eze. You don’t need Forbes to tell you who is wealthy and who is not. Anambra state has the highest dollar millionires in Africa. But you will think it’s Lagos normally.




quote author=Haaland21 post=129248029]

When has owing a private jet become the yard stick of been a billionaira?

The same otedola that gave a university one billion naira.....he even gave all the students one million naira each.

Dey play....comparing him with Air peace ma.

Yoruba no dey make mouth.

Maforgreats:

So Dangote who is number 1 did not borrow to build his refinery ba?

proeast:


Lol, your level of reasoning is so basic and shows extreme lack of exposure. Firstly, go and ask those in the know about Adenuga’s relationship with former military rulers.

What about Alakija, the so-called richest Nigerian woman? Are you also ignorant about how she acquired her riches? Otedola nko?

Anyways, it’s obvious you’re a kid or a totally uninformed adult who lived a passive life in total ignorance.

You even glorify these men like they’re gods, lol. Another pointer to your lack of intelligence and exposure. A young French citizen slapped the president of France publicly because he was angry at his governance. But your type will jump on the streets hailing Tinubu when you see his 100-car convoy driving.

Maybe, one day you will be able to leave Nigeria and experience how life could be in sane places instead of this sort of animal kingdom hobbessian existence you’ve known since birth.
