GTFOH - who the fvck is IBB? You mean someone owns $8 billion out of a next man's net worth that grew over the years from less than a billion, to almost $10 billion now?

You sound bitter. Too bad ya Igbo folks don't have the same business IQ for incremental growth in net worth when it comes to flipping, apart from making noise everywhere and chest beating. I'd rather put my money in a fixed deposit account than invest in an Igbo man - FACT.

All ya Igbo folks who made a lot of looted money during GEJ's era especially via waivers and theft are soon going to be broke again. However, the Yoruba ones would end up turning the money into wealth. That's the difference between the business IQ of a Yoruba man and an Igbo noise making trader.

castroevans:
Dangote made a lot of investment last year, opening cement refineries in Ethiopia, Kenya etc. Give him time and u will see him scale above this present position.

nairalady:


Is your father's name on the list?
How has dangote's billions affected the average poor hausa man?
how has adenuga's billions affected the averge poor yoruba man?
Question is: are you living a more comfortable life than an average igbo man?
I'll rather have 1 million averagely rich igbos out of 20 million people than have only 1 or 2 multi billionaires while over 40 million of their kinsmen are poor and wreched!!!!!

igwe123:

I laugh at your ignorance, Everything in Igboland is decentralised and tends towards the center. Igbos have Forbes billionaires and the highest number of Forbes multi millionaires. OP decide to stop at five for a mischievious reason. check out this pic

Interesting how no Igbo Man ever makes the Forbes list.






Anyone care to explain why?

Chinom:


No problem bro. But we are talking real businessmen here, NOT co*ck suckers. Though I would agree with you that Adenuga is a shrewd businessman. He managed and invested the money he got very well. As for Alakija,now that Miriam IBB is dead, she is 'home free'. She's got to be the luckiest tailor and hairdresser in the world. Forbes list my azz.

totit:



This is how you people always lie and pull off aba stats.



REGIONAL AVERAGES
1 = South West - 19.3% Poverty (+ Average)
2 = South South - 25.2% Poverty (+ Average)
3 = South East - 27.36% Poverty (+ Average)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** National Avg 46.0%% Poverty

4 = North Central - 45.7% Poverty (+Average)
5 = North East - 76.8% Poverty (- Average)
6 = North West- 80.9% Poverty (- Average) Damn!! shocked

THIS IS FROM WORLD BANK
The NER also documents major differences in poverty and living standards by macro-region in Nigeria. While the South of Nigeria has relatively low poverty rates, ranging from 16% in the South West to 28.8% in the South East, poverty rates in the North West and North East are 45.9% and 50.2%, respectively. While the South of Nigeria (especially the South West) has experienced a strong positive dynamic in poverty reduction in recent years, the poverty rate in the North West has remained stagnant, while poverty has actually increased in the North East. Thus, disparities between the North (North West, North East) and South of Nigeria in poverty and living standards have increased. This is no doubt related to the recent security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria. Explanatory factors for the high differences in living standards by geographical region are likely related to differences in the provision of public services and the degree of connectedness to larger markets.

NER MEANS NIGERIA ECONOMIC REPORT..maybe it is a Yoruba man that owns it...

Poverty was least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%).

My dear, to spend unnecessarily, is one tin we can't help.


You know why? I will go a bit personal to you.

Last year, I carried my contribution in my office. I kept it in bank. I was determined not to touch it. But, alas, life have another plan for me, my kid sister fell seriously ill, we kept carrying her around from hospital to hospital.


And, that was how all that my savings went. I have to start all over this year again.


So, you see, is not easy.

missbronze:
Hmmmm.


What do this Billionaires do that we don't do?

I mean, how do they acquire so much wealth?

Does it mean they are the ones that husstle most?

Abi, na dem get brain pass?


And, Yes, life is not fair. how can it bless one person with so much wealth and let another person be as poor as church rat.?



Meanwhile, why is it that the ratio of rich men are higher than that of rich women?

Is it that God or luck favours men most?

PenSniper:



Forbes don't reckon with questionable wealth. It has to be legit and traceable.

SirShymexx:
Anyway, how did Dangote go from having a net worth of over $20 billion to just $14.44? - scary.

Even Mike Adenuga is closer than ever at almost $10 billion.

Bad business decision, I guess.

My nyggah Mike Adenuga is coming for the number one spot.

lookandlaff:


If you have to announce your wealth, then you are not that wealthy. People with real money don't make their own noise, when have you seen anyone on that list telling the world they have N500b in assets? Forbes calculate wealth based on assets, outstanding debts, shares in pubic companies, comparison with similar companies in the case of private companies, verifiable, interviews with employees, public records and legitimacy of earnings (which is why they won't list many of the people who have looted our country)


For all the noise Ifeanyi Ubah makes and his much touted 35% of the downstream sector, he would have come to the attention of Forbes. For a man who likes to brag, if he isn't listed it's because they do not believe or cannot cerify that he is a billionaire or at least a billionaire by legitimate means.

SirShymexx:


You just can't compare the two groups, it is not about making noise - it is about the numbers and numbers don't lie.

stanvesco:



igbos rarely align with d government and dats y......dir a more igbo millionaires compared to oda tribes.......as a
gainst fewer forbes billionaire in post tribes...


it still dates bak to d fact dat Go a rarely allow just one person to be d sole ruler/seller/importer/eze ego .........compared to oda tribes dat allows just one man to reign supreme.....kai wait o.....my igbo colleagues r making maney in d shopu n ayam here typing dis nonsense........kai oooo

You can't be on that list by God grace

But you can be on the list by taking your sorry-ass up and work hard

people on d list made their money legitimately and could make their net worth public. people like kalu are thieves wu stole money one way or d oda. They cannot go public with their net worth may efcc no gbabs dem.

The thing is, when you say he has 500bn naira assets, you are saying he has over $1bill assets!!! Lets do a comparison with femi otedola whose Forte Oil has hundreds of stations, who is known as the diesel king and has choice real estate assets all over barely made the $1bill mark. People like oba otudeko and cosmas maduka, tony elumelu, jim ovia, etc are not even hitting the 1bill dollar mark!
