I think anytime someone types billionaire, Nairaland should automatically change it to Millionaire or multimillionaire.
A billionaire is someone who has a billion british pounds and above in assets.
Even Emoney is brandished about as a billionaire.
Millions, billions and trillions are English words and when you say someone is a billionaire then his net assets must be in billion pounds.
So with this billionaire logic, If I migrate to Zimbabwe or Ghana I should be called a billionaire then

Ugosample:
wow
and why is that?

stag:
Tell this to Ganduje

ifyalways:
Long story.

Ugosample:
I think we should have our own metric tho as to who is a billionaire

One with a billion naira in Nigeria can be called a Nigerian Billionaire
our cureecny bad, but it is not totally condemned

But the thing is
Many of these men do not even reach that threshold

E Money for example

Perx(RIP) is all i see every time I see this Oba or his wives.

This life . . .

otokx:
They should use their billions to renovate/build schools and hospitals in their respective villages; every time billionaire this, billionaire that.

frowland:
No, Nigerian Billionaire just like Icelandic Billionaires, French Billionaire, Russian Billionaire and all that; have their assets measured in British pounds.
Reason Dangote and Alakija are called billionaires. It is an insult to call Dangote a billionaire and call Emoney a billionaire.
The olny way to do what you suggest is to use a nigerian local language NOT English Billions.
Even Linda Ikeji and Seun are dubbed Billionaires. Na wa.

AngelicBeing:
Lol, the jazz and juju inside that his red regalia is something else, I wonder how all this kings cope with jazz and rituals daily

Ugosample:
more like a billion dollars than a billion pounds tho....
if one is worth 1b dollars
he will be on the Forbes list of billionaire on earth....

it's not pounds per se

but I was speaking in the context of Nigeria

Elderniercri:
Your logic tho �
A Nigerian businessman who the naira mostly for his business transaction should be tagged as a billionaire if he hits a billion naira or more not in other currencies.

So if you go to Zimbabwe and your money there hit billions then you can also be a billionaire in that country

all these useless rituals Africans should have thrown away since

Let's keep the traditions
but discard the juju and demonism

Demonic powers on the loose in NIGERIA is too much
