shut up.. £20 was a very big money in the 70s when awolowo gave you guys .. upon all your chestbeating, no igbo man is worth 1b usd..
Bunch of chestbeating gorillas gringrin
Imagine your mentality, so having 1bn USD makes one important or what? What do I need that kind of money for when our roads are a mess, youths unemployed, no power, etc.?
That's how egalitarian the Igbos are; no singular person should wield that money but should be spread aboard.
Btw, show me one from your tribe which isn't from the sheer benevolence of the useless politics in Nigeria.
Safe for Dangote, other 2 or 3 after him are oil well related which they shouldn't even have had

Not true. N20 then was about $55. In today’s money that’s about $1000. 1000 times 360 is N360,000! You think that’s a small amount!
As for egalitarian, here is the definition.
e·gal·i·tar·i·an
/iˌɡaləˈterēən/
adjective
relating to or believing in the principle that all people are equal.

In the North no matter who u r, u sit on the floor and when u die u r buried within 24hr in same manner as any pauper. There is not much incentive to be too ambitious for money. With Ibos it’s the exact opposite.
Among them everything is dependent on how much money u have, including how u r buried!
So, sitting on the floor equates them all?
Oga check their social status index. Oga, what's the ratio of educated to non-educated northerners; I bet you it could be up to 0.0002, much less than one for also employment & standard of living.
Funny you. N20 then equals N360k now? You should be at Alibaba's show.

I knew a thread like this will bring out the vile Igbo haters! Just ignore the fools!

What does it profit a monopolistic man if he gains the whole world, but suffers the indignity of his region/ethnicity being declared as the headquarters of poverty in the world!?

The dickheads never factor in the lopsided political-economy that's been in place since the late 60s that has placed the entire country into the pockets of a few individuals from 'chosen' ethnic groups! They go to bed and sleep well insofar as they believe the Igbos are behind them on all fronts, but the moment a Igbo becomes the leader in any sector, they get all restless and start plotting how to either ruin his business or bring him down a peg or two....like we've seen with Air Peace, INNOSON and IBETO cement!
Honestly, I came to NL thinking Igbos were on the offensive and was against them then until I realised they were on the defensive. Imagine a news like this, they have started shouting Igbos.
Upon all the opportunities the North & West had & still have how is it that Nigeria is still this horrible?
I once heard Angel Merkel say, "What do I need all these kind of monies the African leaders steal for? I don't need to secure the future of my child personally as we (Germany) already has a system that will take care of them even after I'm gone".
Hardly these rich guys tell you their stories of ingenuity that got them all those monies. In Nigeria, power & riches hardly is about hardwork, intelligence or even planning but just which region you are from.
And shamefully, these guys come in here to applaud it and most might even be unemployed, lack skill nor even run a business

Why do u think Hausas are not so ambitious about money unlike Ibos? Because having a lot of money doesn’t accrue u much extra. Even in their mosques anybody can lead prayers. They don’t have all sorts of hierarchy of bishops and deacons and popes. How dare u compare Hausa and Igbo in terms of seeing everybody as equal regardless of wealth (egalitarianism )?!

One Chinese billionaire just gave over 18 million dollars to find cure for corona virus.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has no modern hospital, but they have billionaires.

So many graduates and sharp minds in Nigeria still looking for jobs and opportunities, meanwhile Nigeria has billionaires front, center and corners.

They can't help everyone, but set up a foundation where graduates can have access to loans to set up some businesses.

Things are not done that way in Nigeria

Show us the way



By the way,

Dangote allowed his nothern brother to share and enjoy from his cement monopoly and his wealth skyrocketed.

Where is otedola?., blood is thicker than water.


The truth is that Dangote does NOT have any monopoly in any business.

There are actually actions he takes that shows he has some serious money not just cheap.

He's married to a Moroccan (exotic taste. Usually associated with people with mad money)

He loves trophy wives.

He has an outsized foundation. He went to Antarctica. He owns a private jet. He isn't loudish like small boys with small cash.


So marrying a Moroccan, going to Antarctica and owing a private jet automatically make one a Billionaire in Dollars?

We have many Nigeria rich men that dangote's networth is nothing compared to theirs. Forbes only recognize legal assets. Same with Jeff bezoz. We have lots of Arab rich men worth more than $200billion, but Forbes chose not to include them


You obviously don't know what you are saying.

You can't have $1Billion without being in one business or the other and people knowing that business.

We don't need that, but we're comfortable OK with the little we have, check the names of the billonians and the level of poverty in their regions you'll know what I'm saying

But the 2020 NBS poverty rates in Ebonyi and Enugu States were about 80% and 57% respectively.

I for one do not believe in this misleading crap called forbes list, even when the late Abacha's wife said if after the Nigerian government has collected all the Abachas loot, her family cannot be as poor as Dangote, so imagine how many Nigerian serving and past government official who have amassed excess wealth from the poverty, pain and blood of the ordinary masses The world has evolved and we are now in the tech age. Even if Adenuga and Dangote together owns all the refineries and vessels in the world, they can never be as rich as Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerback in the next 100yrs. We are now in the age of tech money and no longer oil money. Yet these white guys can afford to give away all their wealth to charity and still make it back in the space of 2 years. I think we African should be ashamed of ourselves. Poverty is a thing of the mind and not about how fat your bank account is nor the size of your pocket. Wealth or Poverty is not measured in how much cash you lack nor have you made but how much sense, wisdom and brain power you have at your disposal.

What use is your money when you go to bed in fear of insecurity, terrorist, banditary, kidnappers, fulani herdsmen on killing spree and boko haram Of What use is your money when your fellow country men die of starvation and majority of our youths are gradate but jobless and at the edge of desperation just to survive with every hanging tendency to commit crime Forbe list with African names on the list my foot. Those acclaimed material wealth you see our celebrities and politicians flaunts in the media is nothing but audio money. It is high time Africa has long become united instead of fooling around and allowing the world powers in the committee of the United Nation stop tossing us around like our life were a dangling pendulum ball. Our life cannot continue to revolve around the USA, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom), Russia, Saudi Arabia, Rome, Israel, China and Korea. Enough of the borrowed robe; we need our own robe and coat. Africa Unite.
the bolded can be solved easily when you're rich enough,get in touch with the police spu and watch them attach some gallant,fully armed and well trained mopols to watch over you and your family.

He's right!!!

If you guys are such wizards in business, why don't you go form a country of your own and leave us to our 'audio oyel'?

Sourcing of raw materials is just part of running and sustaining a business! A lot has to do with gov't policies and gov't support....especially if you're trying to be monopolistic and run your competitors out of town!


You are talking out of points.

Abdulsamad Rabiu and Dangote made their billions from mining limestones , turning it into cement and trading in commodities like rice, sugar, flour etc.

These have nothing to do with Niger Delta crude oil.
