And yet go to Lagos and Ibadan and tell we what you see.

Why is Lagos one of the world's most disorganized mega cities? Why is Ibadan one of the filthiest cities in Africa?

What have they done with this immense wealth?
Filthiest City in 2024? when was the last time you visited Ibadan? Stop using outdated statistics abeg

I am not Ibo but I'll say my mind here.
I believe that the Ibos are more richer than any other tribes in Nigeria. There are many millionaires scattered amongst them that a concentrated few that are billionaires in the West or North.
When wealth circulates amongst a group, there's always reduction in poverty.
I have been to many Ibo communities due to the nature of my jobs, Omo, you'll be able to count how many mud houses in each community, if at all you'll find any.

Congratulations to those listed by Forbes but please spread the wealth so as to reduce poverty in your regions.
You'll hardly see Dangote, Dantata and all those few billionaires in the North have a foundation where they can lift people from poverty in their region, educationally.

Why?
Are you saying Dangote and Dantata don’t have foundations? Seek knowledge before you comment, tell me any ibo man that has foundations like Dangote

Further reinforces my statement that the best country to japa to if your aim is making a sh!tload of money is God's Own United States!

Again, African Americans are the wealthiest set of black people. Few hours ago, I read someone wrote that it's easier to generate $1M in Nigeria than the US. A big fat lie! If it were so easy, why are there more poor people in Nigeria than many sub-Saharan African countries?

On the other hand, if you cannot migrate to the US, try to sell to Americans. Not only do they hav but plenty money, just like the Chinese, Japanese or Swiss, Americans spend a whole lot more than those nationals. The reason many countries don't want to piss off the US government.

God Bless Capitalism!

Special congratulations to Adebayo Ogunlesi. I wrote about him few years where I got to know that he was loaned to First Boston who later bought him over. Studied in the UK, but generated his wealth in the US. I love how the Chinese have grown, but the facts are stark clear, making a sh!tload of money would be easier to attain in the United States.

Citing the super rich in any in any assessment of general, society wide wealth is surely misplaced. If it's not Dangote, someone is carping about Jeff Bezos. It would actually be more useful to analyze how these people got to become so wealthy. Again the HOW not the NOW.

Anyone living in the USA is very likely among the world 80th percentile in terms of personal or family HDI. That's an educated guess, it might be even better, definitely not much worse.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

I don't say this as any tribal thing, I criticize my Igbo people a lot, but your implied praise is very correct.

The Igbo have much better indices on ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT than other Nigerian tribes. Anyone can look up the ECONOMIC definition of development.

It's a very important measure for any group or society. In fact that was the gist of my earlier post on this thread.

Well done. Thanks for a stellar comment.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

When I saw the headline topic. I knew it was another desperate attempt at showcasing tribal propaganda. When will you have sense? These people what impact have they done in your life, you keep shouting Yoruba lagba, these people don't even know you. You cannot even near their office, the security will throw you out or better still hand you over to the police as disturbing the peace.

Behind every towering empire is a humble beginning. The key to success lies in starting with what you have, where you are. The most successful entrepreneurs didn’t wait for perfect conditions—they built their vision brick by brick. Start small but think big, because even the smallest step forward can ignite massive transformation.

This is today's topic still on the front page. They're all adults, adults looking for free raw food, they're not children who were eager to celebrate end of the year party with other kids. And the number of casualties surpassed that of Ibadan.

And below is that of Abuja that happened today.

I love Igbos. They also do well too, but they have loads of idiotic loudmouths that they must control.

Someone makes a few hundred millions in Naira, one idiotic otimkpu boy in Nanka wearing only boxers and singlet will start calculating money he has not seen and start calling the man 'Billionaire'.

The loudmouths amongst you should circumsized their tongues.
