Nigeria will bless those who bless Nigeria and curse those who curse Nigeria.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Why do you waste your time engaging with these vile xenophobes? You don’t know it’s lost on them, as the brag and gloat, how telling and indicting a list that its Nigerian content is made up TOTALLY of just two ethnic groups…not just out of all the many others in Nigeria, but also bearing in mind that we are told Nigeria has THREE major ethnic groups, with one leg of the tripod TOTALLY not represented! If this doesn’t show the rest of Nigeria how the Yoruba/Fulani hegemonic alliance has structured the Nigerian political-economy to primarily favour them over others, then nothing else would!

I’m not and can never be surprised at how things have played out! It’s the gullible and daft other Nigerians i pity because they seem to be blissfully comfortable in their ignorant….especially the ‘one Nigerianist’ Igbo amongst them!

pain is that you? See brother wey mumu 🤣🤣🤣….what’s Forbes business with your victim mentality? So Forbes is also responsible for your cry of marginalisation? Cry cry baby

In a free society on a free and fair country, no yoruba willl fall in the top 500 in Nigerian Rich list...Check the number of tribes that own oil wells in Nigeria, and other valuable assests in Nigeira.U will see how degraded igbos and other south south have been degraded and suffered in a fraud called one nigeria.Igbos are more millionaires individually on their own self and hustling ways, than those tribes were 5 to 10 people will be billionares than the entire tribes while others like u will be suffering and laughing over igbos.

Bia OP, nwanem your list is incomplete, some names are conspicuously missing.
Is it that Forbes doesn’t recognize those who are billionaires in Biafra pounds…..considering the fact that 1 Biafra pound = 1 British pound ?

Biafrans are the most tribalistic people on earth.

Quote me anywhere...

The last election was a testament to that fact...

obyno82:
If they insult you, rhe same you will say they are insulting, but you are the one baiting them. When they say the most tribalistic people inNL are Yorubas you will be screaming.

Oga they were not o.

Jay Z go medical school?

Odingo1:
Igbos might not appear in Forbes but they are the richest in Africa. Wealth is not an individual something but how the wealth is distribution among population.

You dey do charity or na you be father christmas wey you dey distribute wealth up and down? Igbo people wey dey stingy like mad. So if you as an igboman has 500 companies in 70 countries "distributing your wealth" and you are worth a billion dollars, won't your name be on forbes list of billionaires? Oga your head no reach when the biggest boys are talking. Looking at the boys on the list, did you find a noice maker or chest beater among them? One modafuxking Billion dollars na #15 trillion oh. No be moinmoin abi how much be the budget of your state for the whole year?Now let me make it simple for you. On the list of millionaires in US dollars in Nigeria you will find lots of Igbo and other tribes therein.

Zetty177x:
Wow,they have been overhyping these black Americans

Yes o

Many Nigerians will feed them

4 are Yorubas.

It's important to note that four (4) out of these six (6) Nigerian Billionaires are YORUBA!

It's not by nsogbu-nsogbu......someone should take note!

Smh. Please go and read about Chief Ajasa Akitoye, Shitta-Bey, Vaughan, Darocha, Cardoso, Macaulay, Taylor, Petgrave, Braithwaite etc and their families before anyone outside Yorubaland part of Southern Nigeria even stepped foot in Lagos.

Even the highly admired Sir Louis Ojukwu came much later to Lagos and it's poor history to regard him to be richer than those he met as highly successful and very wealthy in Lagos before he came to Lagos. It's unfair and disrespectful when you blame others for Nigeria not blessing you when all you do is curse Nigeria.

This is from the many private documentations compiled by archivist Pa Oloko Alli-Balogun, an octogenarian from Lagos.

The population of Lagos Colony was analysed into 'Yoruba' and 'Non-Yoruba' tribes:

1. Eko tribe had fallen from 57% in 1872 to 23.6% 20 years later.
2. Popo or Egun tribe was 15.85%,

3. Other Yoruba groups
Oyo - 11.6%
Ijebu - 11.01%
Awori - 9.26%
Egba - 6.05%
Ijesha - 4.32%
Egbado - 3.63%
Ekiti/Efon people - 1.76%

4. Non-Yoruba groups
Nupe/Tapa - 1.86%
Hausa - 1.86%
The Kru - 1.37%.

The strength of the Eko tribe was concentrated in Wards A, B, C and D of Lagos Town and Harbour, and the Central District of Ebute Metta/Yaba.

The Aworis were concentrated in the Central District and the Popo's or Egun in the Western District.

As at this time in Lagos, no single individual from the whole Eastern Nigeria had stepped foot in Lagos.

Masiyiwa some one I respect like a father

With your knowledge and everything you have, who was the richest person in Nigeria between 1960 - 1970 to make it brief?

Odingo1:
Igbo wealth is well distributed among the population, that is why it is argued that Igbos are the richest in Africa. Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga money is a mega wealth that involves huge credit owing not liquid cash.

What do you mean by credit owing vs liquid cash? Do you think Elon Musk the world's richest man have a lot of liquid cash and Forbes determined he is the world's richest person by counting the cash in his bank account and under his bed.
