Well for those who see their kinsmen in the list and wants to glory, I can authoritatively say that the Igbo and SS have billionaires who can rival Dangote but you know, they are afraid to disclose their sources. I can't shy away from saying this.

But hmm! Will their children maintain their father's stead? Just thinking aloud.

fine and good. but how has their wealth helped the masses. my neighbor went to india for her boy's heart surgery and found that she was the only one not sponsored by Govt out of other Africans including Sudan. whenever she mentions shes from Nigeria, they'll be like that rich country flowing with milk and honey. This really annoyed her and later she started telling others she's from Biafra cos the humiliation was so much. Please my country people, fight for you right. there's so much money in this country
