quota system list!!
Some people want to massage their ego by highlighting/bolding names of quota system beneficiaries!


Wealth that is spread is better than wealth that is concentrated on an individual….God bless igbo apprenticeship system…

Y’all can now jump into the Atlantic.

Your future is bleak!

CaptainZubi:
Fake list.
I can mention 10 people from onitsha main market and ladipo int'l spareparts richer than them

Thewrath:
The igbo apprenticeships system is usually between 4 to 6yrs and is guaranteed in most cases….it has proven to be successful that is why it’s still in practice!

You could spend 50 yrs on nairaland hating on the igbos and still achieve nothing!

How you decide to share wealth or groom youngsters into wealth in your tradition is your own cup of kunu and I careless about the opinion of an anonymous user on a faceless forum!

Davido billionaire baba no dey ?

So Mike Adenuga is this still still this rich and couldn't give us good network from Globacom

Abagworo:
Truth is that no Igbo man is a billionaire. There are just so many Igbo multimillionaires in their hundreds of thousands if not millions. A millionaire is anyone worth more than 1.5 billion Naira to under 1.5 trillion Naira. Only few Igbo men are worth up to 200 billion Naira and above and that's the Tony Elumelus, Arthur Ezes, Orji Kalus, Orjiakos etc

I'm proud of being one of the multimillionaires of Igbo extraction right from my 20s

SmartPolician:
You people must not think you are the best in everything while others are just observers. Be humble and stop boasting. Everything no be competition.

Houseontherock1:
Billionaires don't need to show off- the records are there! The index relies on a mixture of public and private data, like stocks, real estate, and businesses,minus debts and liabilities. They use derived/reported information that is valued with comparisons to public competitors. You can't hide billions

Igbos do not have multimillionaires either in dollar or naira up to Yoruba and this has been generational.
Yorubas have always been the richest Africans in the world.


When Yoruba had more than 10 billionaires in the olden days(if you want I can post them),Igbos had only Louis Ojuku and Hausa had about 3 billionaires then.
The proof that Yoruba are the richest can even be seen in comparing the 5 SE states with Ibadan city with more than 12 GRAs, numerous estates and more infrastructures than the entire Igboland.


I can post the place Yoruba dominate 97% in Lagos compared to where Igbos dominate in Okota/Isolo and one will know why people say Yoruba are the richest and most successful Africans ever.


Yoruba have the highest number of SMEs,so there is no lie that Igbos will lie or hide under except delusions that hold no water.

livinbygrace:
You mean apprenticeship in selling fake drugs and adulterated substance all in the name of business?We know how una dey do.
Trade Fair,Alaba and Idumota i hail una ooo

livinbygrace:
Apprenticeship is for the poor man children and no matter what business you do,you cant be as rich as those people listed.Moreover,most of the so called billionaires traders in Onisha,Trade Fair,Alaba,Idumota are into shady deals(drugs,fake drugs,fraud,kidnapping).They are just using business as a cover.

obembet:
We are talking about legit money not kidnapping and ritualist Money. This is list of billionaires that can defend Thier wealth

goslowgoslow:
They don't count people who are into fake drug business!

maasoap:
Apprenticeship system is clear sign of poverty in Igbo land. If you have children and have means, everyone knows that what you would give your children is education, not to go and live with one master for 10 years as a modern day slave.
That system too has even been corrupted that only few slaves are getting their entitlements at the end of the day, others are being chased away by their bosses, use and dump thing
