I just think some rich men wish Igbo youths would grovel and crawl after them like seen in some other parts of the country. I don't know any Nigerian ethnic group that is half rich let alone mostly rich. What Igbo youths need is opportunity, their attitude including individualism and self-confidence has not stopped Igboland having the highest human development in rural areas, instead of trying to encourage the government to support these young kids some people are trying to break their spirit and trying too hard to seem 'objective'. 6 Likes |

She is in the board of directors of several companies in Angola and Portugal including media company and major banks in Portugal with interests in oil and diamonds. She also has shares in Angolan cement company Ciminvest and the Banco Africano de Investimentos.

She holds more than 14 per cent stake in Portuguese media conglomerate Zon Multimedia. She also owns major stakes in Portuguese banks Banco Espírito Santo and Banco Português de Investimento, and in energy firm Energias de Portugal. Her investments have pushed her over the $1 billion mark making her the first African woman to become a billionaire . Tracing the source of the funds, there is no clear cut evidence of how she made her money according to Forbes judging by how business is conducted in Angola with respect to the ruling party. Isabel Dos Santos is Africa’s richest woman 2. Folorunso Alakija Net worth: $2.5 billion The 62 year-old Folorunso Alakija is Nigerian billionaire and the second richest woman in Africa after Dos Santos.

In 1993 Nigerian President Ibrahim Babangida awarded her company, Famfa Oil, an oil prospecting license that later became one of Nigeria’s most prolific oil blocks with her company owning a 60% stake in the block. In 2000, President Olusegun Obasanjo, the then president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria illegally acquired a 50% stake in the block without due compensation to Alakija or her company but the stake was later revoked by the supreme court. 3.

Though she has mostly undeclared wealth but would not pass without mentioned among the wealthiest Ladies in Africa.

Mama Ngina Kenyatta currently has a series of investments, stakes and portfolios under her authority. She is a major share holder in one of the largest privately owned banks in Kenya: the Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA), and a chain of hotels (Heritage).

ezeagu: Your post is quite apt. Our youths need opportunities to grow and become wealthy. Grovelling or kowtowing is not our culture and we don't need to adopt what is alien to us just because others do it. But in spite if this our culture makes room for respect for elders but also accommodate such openness where people are allowed to speak their minds. The man Leo Stan is an eminent business man and one cannot discount him. I truly admire his strides in business. At a time the only laptop I used was his Zenox laptops and they were terrific. .. and he is building capacity as well. So we can leave him with his opinion. It will not hurt. 2 Likes |

Businessideas: You have shown your true habit as a Nigerian with the above post. Sometimes Nigerian assume to know everything while they know absolutely nothing. The act of "copy and paste" has nothing to do with copyright. There is a hidden embarrassing feature in copy and paste. It is a not dumb act to caption it, "Vanguard: Why Igbo Are Not Rich -Leo Stan". It is equally dumb that the caption of the thread on this forum did not appear as a quotation. 1 Like |
