I have been around for a while. Richest man in Nigeria has largely been based on people's perception and it may not be necessarily accurate until we got to the era of technology when the world became global village and it became more easier to track people's wealth. However from 1960 till date, these people have been respectively believed to be the richest by a large number of Nigerians.

*Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu (Emeka Ojukwu's father)
*Mobolaji Bank-Anthony
*Moshood K. Abiola
*Alhaji Aliko Dangote

There's no point criticizing this list. I am not saying it is 100% accurate but if you ask around, it is popular enough to be considered.

95% accurate , very true

Correct answer. These children on NL don't read; many have never even heard of Bank-Anthony

kayoph:
M.K.O Abiola was the richest man in Nigeria in the early 90's till he died "i think"

That's what they made us believe. (He is the richest so he is going into politics to help the masses not to enrich his pockets.)
A proper research into history will open our eyes.

@Topic.
Yes De Rocha but that was a really long time ago, so doesn't count.
Yes Antonio Deinde Fernandez, Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, Harry Akande and Isiaku Rabiu.
But PierreDeFermat forgot to mention the ultimate rich man of the late 80s to 90. He was called MAI DERIBE.

me ofcours

NeeKlaus:
Lols! Okay..


*laughs in Diezani.. smiles in Babangida.*

hiss in abacha

Danjuma

Abacha!

My father was the richest & i will also be richer than dangote plus bilgates in less than few decades In sha Allah

Op, Dangote is not the richest man in Nigeria. Why he is rated the richest is because he has not had any access to government's money by holding any public office. Dangote is not richer than IBB, T.Y Danjuma or Abacha family.

Just like Putin, the President of Russia, is not counted as a rich man in the world because he's a president. Bill Gate is not richer than Putin, incase you don't know.

Please show proofs that Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was the wealthiest in his time.

Not hearsay, please. We are not arguing, because it has been busted here on many occasions that he was rich but not the wealthiest, thereby puncturing the balloon of that big line of words.

Let me ask Late Abacha or Abdulsalam or Mathew? Am coming.

purem:
Me of course or if u don't agree lemme ax ifa

What was the result

it's dangote

MKO Abiola, Ojukwu's father, Awolowo, Fernandez and many were rich men known for their prosperity

No man from Niger Delta & it's from oil these people been mentioned made their wealth. To bad.

purem:
Me of course or if u don't agree lemme ax ifa

thats not the right ifa to ask. It looks biafran.......see d nigerian ifa here...

bobrisky

[quote author=Emmem005 post=59776020]It has been for some years now hearing Aliko Dangote here and there........has Nigeria never produced a world class rich man before?
My question goes thus::: WHO IS THE RICHEST MAN IN NIGERIA BEFORE DANGOTE?

My father

Evans collaborators on the move, indirectly looking for the next kidnap victim.

30s - 40s - Alhassan Dantata
40s - 60s - Sir Louis Ojukwu
70s - Henry Fajemirokun
late 70s - 90s - MKO Abiola

Late 90s before Dangote - Mike Adenuga/Deinde Fernandez

From 2000s: Dangote

napoleon77:
Was

'It has been for some years' nko? Abeg help us correct that one. The grammar just tire me.

NeeKlaus:
Who is the Richest man in Nigeria now??
Please, don't tell me Dangote.


We know that's not true.

Don't mind Op. IBB, OBJ, Danjuma, etc.

RealMillennial:
Much as I'd love to see another rising star or undiscovered mogul beat that record, it doesn't look like there's any.

It will happen

NeeKlaus:
Lols! Okay..


*laughs in Diezani.. smiles in Babangida.*

Lols they don't know

The most richest man in the 80s was Chief M. K. O Abiola, he maintained it till the 90s when he eventually Dave into politic, unfortunately he got drown by it.. His memories lives long for those who had made it through him.. Ask Raymond Dokpesi the Ray power FM and the first indigenous FM license, he was African Ocean liner Engineer. Abiola made manys....
