The Ibru dynasty.

These are the richest men in Nigeria during a period where quack historians claim Louis Ojukwu was the richest in Nigeria.

Did Louis Ojukwu own a bank
Did Louis Ojukwu own a shipping line
Did Louis Ojukwu own a jetty

These are the rich forevers.
These are the people who can rub shoulders with the Dantata's. Take note, Dangote is a Dantata!


When we are talking of the OLD MONEY,a BABY EAGLET is talking about the nouveau rich.
Sir Louis ojukwu was THE BANK, THE CBN,THE NNPC OF NIGERIA.
Go and read your history and stop disgracing your ignorance online.

And what is your understanding of what a jetty is, such that only a billionaire can have one?

Don't believe lies, huge money just doesn't disappear after the next generation like the ojukwus money disappeared after the next generation. That tells you the man just hit one lick that time and bought rolls Royce with all the money and pretended to be richer than he was and next generation there is no more money. But the ibrus the next generation we see the money so we know he was richer

you are right bro. Sometimes I think all the struggles of life doesn't worth it. Like I'm telling wifey now that I feel like eating good home grown 🐔 (chicken) with ewedu soup and good blended poundo yam now.

Aiye kan l'owa ooo....... Lol

Nothing to regret here. It's not how long, but how well.

Nonsense world view. Hogwash.

It's like saying the lions, Elephants and Hyenas in the wild should stop hunting for food because there comes a day when they will die.

My friend, go and hustle for money to better your life. Even if you die trying.

Counting old money, the Ibrus must be included, money na water

The ibrus are not old money. The ibrus are new money. The man who started the ibru dynasty died in 2002 or something. Prior to that man the ibru was a poor family. The man made his money like 60 years ago and then all his children took over. It's first generation wealth. That's not old money. The Rothschild's in Europe trace their wealth back like 500 plus years ago. That's old money

Talkisneeded:
Olorogun Oscar Ibru,such beautiful names..
Rest well sir

Yeah ... [color=#006600][/color]There is this kind of beautiful English names associated with the family... Remember Lady Cecilia Ibru, the iron Lady of Former Oceanic Bank The Ibru dynasty are loaded

Very good guy. Made a friend a multi millionaire in Apapa GRA. Very solid guy.


RIP Sir. You left marks. Your siblings left marks.

Your family left indelible footprints in the corporate, charity and social annals of Nigeria.

Blessed family.

Inna lillahi wa ina ilehi rajiun!

givedemwotowoto:
Wow just 67. He died young. May his soul Rest in Peace!

He lived life roughly. As they say- “ he lived life!” The other Ibrus are not his brothers but his Uncles i.e. his late father’s younger brothers.

In any space it's new money. The man who started the wealth was alive in the Internet era. The man died 2016 . So when Micheal ibru died we were on like iPhone 8. How is that old money ?

Okay, so would you classify as old money in Nigeria?

In Nigeria it would be candido da rocha. I believe he made his millions in the 1800s

Oh ok you meant old money still existing ? There is no old money in Nigeria. All the money is new money.

While I get your general point, in the Nigerian context, the Ibru dynasty (along with the Dantatas, Folawiyos, etc) is considered old money. The wealth predates Nigeria's independence. Old money in America will also be considered new money to European old money. So it depends on the context and society in question.

Maternally, The Ibrus also come from money (through Osadjere). Osadjere's wealth dates back to the 19th century. Check out the family's wikipedia page.

PS: Michael Ibru's father was not a poor man. He was an educated nurse and rose to the position of Chief nursing superintendent at Igbobi hospital, Lagos in the 40s. He was comfortable.
