I beg to disagree, not because they don't have the opportunities but because they don't have the skillset. Been a billionaire require certain entrepreneurial leadership that people like Robert Kiyosaki lacked but people like Donald Trump have abundantly.

If you want to know the richest and most dynamic ethnic group in Nigeria, study the Ijebu people history. They have 3 billionaire (Mike, Otedola and Alakija) on the list and a lot of them have revolutionized their industries.

I don't know much about Naija rich people, but please do you mind enlightening us on what skill set Alakija posses and how she may have apparently utilised said skill set in 'revolutionising' her industry? Many thanks

Truth234:
She took basic knowledge in secretarial studies and fashion design and founded a fashion business using few networks she made while working with merchant bank as a secretary to secure upscale clientele including Maryam Babangida. So basically she is one of the revolutionaries of fashion industry before she acquired an oil license in 1993.

Okay. So her skill set is in fashion design from which she made enough income to acquire an oil licence, yes?

Even though from your above statement she worked as a secretary while seemingly running the fashion business on the side .

Look at the number of billionaires in the north, their ancestry, and the condition of the north, that's all I have to write.
