Real wealthy men

With exact and unambigious source of wealth

Not the modern day ' wealthy' men/women with vague source of wealth

They are always tagged ' investors, influencers, businessmen, cryptorians, techy, and bla bla bla..

That list will come later

lexotan:

franchasng:
Sir Louis Ojukwu, the first documented richest black man and billionaire in Nigeria & Africa

Chest beating is good, it helps to reduce suicidal thoughts

Men of genuine hard work.
No suspicion of blood money or corrupt government loot in their hands.
Good old days when hard work pays.
Rest in Peace to all of them.

It is NOT hardwork. They didn't work harder than everyone else. I don't know what it is but I know it is NOT hardwork

qtx:
That time Nigerians never had the idea of cutting corners.
But now, before you mention 3 u don jamb one wei do badt thing to make money. And dem no go care.

that is not true.

Those guys also cut curners

many of them were lucky because they had relationship with the colonial masters

some were government employees, when the colonial masters left, they took the over some of the assets because majority of Nigerians during that time were not exposed.

Where are they today? Gone and gone
They will also speak about today's billionaires too like tomorrow? The question is are you prepared to meet your maker as saint or sinner?

Dantata is the only one that laid a solid foundation with his wealth, his heirs surpassed him.

Unlike the one whose son decided to play war instead of business.

That means most billionaires after 1960 were politicians, money launderers, drug lords, scammers and all whatnot?

This is list of RICH men. Your papa na honorable poor man. That list dey

Racoon:
When hardwork and dignity of labour was well appreciated. True riches was then through being industrous

So most Nigerians back then were lazy and undignified?

Wealth comes from knowing how to take advantage of time, place, climate and people not by hardwork.

na de goat meat wey him dey collect for council meeting go make am rich?

The post is incomplete as it has not mentioned the heirs of these so called old money.
Aside Dantata whose protege Alhaji Aliko Dangote the world knows , tell us the heirs of these money bags.

The real old taker’s, RIP all

Who tell u?
Fraud, money ritual, corruption, etc have always been the bedrock of stupendous wealth. The foundation of such wealth is filthy.
The more you look, the less you see.

Money made genuinely when there was no Yahoo, fraud and other corrupt tendencies. Majority of billionaires nowadays in Nigeria aren't genuine.

That's why we intentionally ignored the crook. He's a billionaire of the world as if he's the one that inherited Sir Louis Ojukwu's fortune. 😂 😂 Bunch of Baggage baggers

LegacyB:
Everyone knows where you intend to go with this. But just pass , make we see road.

Authoreety:
And their money lives on

Nop.....Their MANHOOD lives on.

Peter Obi father no dey here

Davoneskay:
So, you live all over Yoruba land, abi? It isn't common in Ondo State. Throughout my over 7 years stay in Ibadan, I no hear am. The first time I heard it sef was in the University back in 2011 from a Lagosian.

Guy I am a 56 years old man I don't belong to your generation! You don't expect to hear such word from children, it mainly used by older adults.
To your question yes I lived and worked all over Nigeria not just Yoruba land.

I've heard "ko si olowo bi Darocha" severally while growing up at Iseyin.

What about Jimoh Odutola, younger/older brother of Adeola Odutola. The man owns most of Iganmu industrial estate where Nigerian Breweries is located [i][/i]

Yes you are right! He wasn't very popular like his brother. The brother was into politics and that also helped his popularity.
