This is a poorly-researched piece...Most of the tidbits were actually picked up online...No real effort to ascertain the veracity of some of the claims...How many billionaires are from Nnewi as compared to Kano?Many of the readers outside Nigeria may not know sha.

mykl01:




I jes weak
He is writing for Nairalanders, we are reading Forbes

louqas:


And who says im not happy? Unlike you I have known for a long time that nnewi is home of billionaires.... but knowing you are a kid I will pardon your ignorance

The Small Town Of The Super Rich

sangresan:

Egbejule should do a better job next time...Kano has more multi-billionaires than Nnewi...And Sir Ojukwu wasn't the wealthiest man of his day.Just because the Queen used his rolls-royce didn't mean anything...You don't even know the net worth of those you wrote about.

400billionman:
AFONJA people, una don see am.

Truth doesn't hide for long.

Amarabae:
another gnashing of teeth and wailing due to painment.
Forbes have put tears in the eyes of many today.

wumiadeye:


Evans the billionaire kidnapping kingpin is from Nnewi

laudate:


Guy, nobody is making reference to Dele Fajemirokun. They are talking about his father Henry Oloyede Fajemirokun, who was a multimillionaire many years ago.

MayorofLagos:


This is the foundation for the article. Everything here is embellished and spawn in falsehood.

The first Nigerian billiionaire was a shipping magnate by name Henry Fajemirokun. The first to own RollsRoyce was Kano Emirate, followed by Fajemirokun. Sir Ojukwu never had a Rolls.

sangresan:

Why do you love fooling yourself?If you are good writer,you will know a well-researched piece from a spun article.
It is never an Igbo vs Yoruba debate like some jobless youths would have us believe...Egbejule is probably an Edo or Delta name.
But he did a bad job.He should travelled down to the town and ask around.
To show that his article probably wasn't scrutinised, he only dropped the names of less than 8 so-called billionaires without giving us their net-worths..I could sit down and write that Owerri has more billionaires than Nnewi...How would you verify?

Amarabae:
Eromo Egbejule is likely a name from Bendel region(either Urhobo, Isoko or Edo state).
It is Never an Igbo name.
Finally, no amount of gnashing of teeth and painment will change these writeup stamped by FORBES.
So cry us a River, you are the one obviousely pained.

mofewilkie:
Sorry, i meant Henry. Louis Ojukwu sha had a rolls royce before he started business. Therefore, your claims are false

laudate:


Hehehehe..... madam, you are the one crying here. Everyone can see it! See how you just confessed that you have been "gnashing your teeth," and suffering "painment.' Eeyah, accept my sympathy. Otherwise, you would not have made allusions to such emotions, if you had not been suffering from such feelings yourself. Now, try to get over it before you do yourself an injury, as you do not have proof to support your claims. Thank God, everyone can read. And they all know that articles published in Forbes, are not written by Forbes itself, but by various journalists.

That gal has a problem...And I have noticed that some folks easily turn issues into ethnic debates.
The piece was poorly written....When you are making allusions to wealth,you have to give an estimation...

Amarabae,I gbugo anumpama,biko jie nwanyoo,nwannem.
He had to go dig out the whole owner ship info of Forbes.pepperdem,lol.

Bidobado:
Nigeria has no hope if its youth are bigots and tribal warlords bent on humiliating and downgrading each other's achievements.
I am proudly yoruba, born and raised in Kaduna, and I love my igbo brothers and wish them well, even in their quest for a homeland to call theirs.
Let's not pretend that Nigeria is one, but we all have a common enemy who has been enslaving us for centuries, and will continue to do so wherever he finds us, whether in Nigeria or Biafra.

XKZ:
Are you saying Forbes doesn't have an editorial policy? No standards?
Any Mass Comm graduate can have an article published there? like Nairaland?
Doesn't the fact that they published it mean they endorse it?
If someone has genuine grounds to question the article who would he sue?
And if an apology or retraction is due who would be responsible?

Amarabae:
Every Tribe came into this group and congratulated IGBOS Except One Tribe.
Anything good about Igbos gives them nightmares.
Very sadistic in nature and envious in character.
Always obsessed with Igbos and behave like people with inferiority complex.

laudate:

Nobody is saying that Forbes does not have an editorial policy. What is being said is that the writer failed to do adequate & comprehensive research on certain aspects of his article, before going to press. Was the article libellous? No. So nobody is going to sue. But errors such as the one the writer made, turned an article that could have been a well-researched intelligent record, into a fluffy PR piece.

XKZ:
To summarise your post – Forbes has an editorial policy that encourages poorly researched articles and fluffy PR pieces...

StOla:
I thought those Palestinians said it is a city?

How dare Forbes call it a small town?

I ordinarily hear them say Anambra has 3 cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, as opposed to 3 small towns.
