Rhea:
Don't take it personal, not with a brainlessness fella . Glad I got you worried thinking though
Now, make I concentrate small count the small change I picked at Oba during the spray spray

That's you on your DP? Preeeetty! I admit it, I'm jealous

SlayQueenSlayer:
You sabi. I just dey laugh at gullible Nigerians. These men use the power of the state to advance personal gains at expense of the society.

juman:
Abba Kyari is overrated SARS thief.
In sensible country he would be in jail.

This is NOT true. He is truly a crime-fighting Police hero. He gets his money from people like Cubana who are not into heavy stuffs like armed robbery, kidnapping

Rhea:
@Millimann
No need to sweat the rants of someone who don't know what u r talking about. I would not pay any heed to my small talk if it makes no sense. Maybe he is keeping his friends close and fiends closer. But then, you know there is no smoke without fire, unless you are a rainmaker or in a chemistry lab . And speaking of chemistry, there is more to chemistry than selling remy and glen and renting hotel rooms. Even William Grant and his children obviously would raise an eyebrow or two. Na so Nigerians dey shayo and sleep in hotels, even with all the coviding shut downs and all. But then, money is money . How many billionaire businessmen are splashed on Abba's facebook page? Joseph Pistone is still alive to take some lessons from.

Brainlessness. Joseph Pistone was UNDERCOVER! Kyari is openly telling you this is his brother! Police LOVE people like Cubana who'll pay them without being into any heavy stuff like kidnapping or armed robbery. You think people like Kyari rely on their salaries??

NaBanga:
You see what the wise see in this. I hope Obi is not foolish enough to believe this man is truly his friend.

babyfaceafrica:
You deserve cold beer

Millimann:
Guy, you are articulate!

On this, your argument is superior to mine.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

Articulate my ass. Cold beer my ass.
KosiGee, Rhea etc. don't know what u r talking about. You guys lack benefit of history and observation of similar cultures. If you run nightclubs you NEED police protection AND you need to have cops on pay roll, especially in a country like Naija. You MUST have police friends to succeed in such a business. As long you stay out of certain things, you can do certain illegal stuffs and they'll look the other way, or even cover for you. Happens the world over. Cops have major expenses like everyone else, that's how they get paid

A country that's not ready for democracy pretending to have democracy!

Menace2Society:
Jesus!who dey born all this funny IPOB clowns

Clown my ass. Mention another tribe of African descent that's richer than Igbos per capita

Basicend:
Why u guys (Cubana warriors) always being abusive and aggressive. The guy asked a simple question.

He asked a question, I gave him an answer - he manages to sleep despite all the hotels, while OP cant.
- that's the difference

RodgersAkpafu:
In nigeria or globally?

Let's say people of African descent globally

Elporo:
Have you been to Kano State? Stop confusing "popularity contest" with "wealth or riches". These are very different positions.
Having 1 billion and being popular does not make you wealthier than "Mr no-name" next door that can provide equity three times your popular billionaire's net worth.

If all Anambra men were as wealthy as we want everyone to believe. Why don't they own a major hold in "factors of production".

labor; is concentrated in the North
land; is concentrated in the North
entrepreneurship; westerners have full dominance of modern enterprises ..from banking to eCommerce, fintech, insurance
northerners dominate BDC
westerners are the major financier of any big-time project in this country. The biggest lenders are western owner dominated banks.

What do you mean by "tribe-wise per-capita". Where is all this nonsense coming from?

Make sense na. Per capita means per, say, 10000. Out of random 10000 Igbos how many would be well to do compared to, say, 10,000 random Hausas. That's per capita. Not focusing on few wealthy individuals

KillMNKnow:
she wanted to cross the Mediterranean for prostitution in the EU, but EU wins this time

This was someone's child, the apple of someone's eye not long ago. Stop being cold and heartless

Amalekki:
Most nairalanders do too

So who were you referring to when you wrote the below:

Amalekki:
God of Oba go judge you if you dey lie

Well let me put it this way: I HAVE MONEY, TIME, AND UNLIMITED DATA!!!!

Vinnie2000:
See his Yeye Face..
Obi Cubana pple..

This one would have Arrived Nigeria, Built a Hotel and claiming Billionaire..

Some Mumu Nigerians will now call you an Hater for asking how he became an overnight billionaire.. .

He deserves 200 Lashes of Kerosine Soaked Koboko.. B4 other punishments

Obi Cubana made his money legit in broad daylight. He started with just one and you can clearly see his trajectory. What part of that don't you understand??

Igbo amaka

Furious1:
I should goan be asking old ppl questions, I'll probably prepare questionnaires.
And what kinda statistical data comes from asking around. Some ppl were displaced, they didn't even see the £20 but they're made nonetheless. You don't need statistics for it

They SURVIVED, they managed to feed themselves, but most didn't become rich. Those that became rich quickly, became so based on money and properties they had b4 the war, NOT £20!

Newton85:
Like I wrote earlier, whatever delusion makes you sleep better at night.

What delusion? Did I say anything? Am I Ahmad Bello or Niger Delta people who complain bitterly that Igbos dominate? King Jaja of Opobo came as a SLAVE Igbo boy. Many wealthiest Delta including Asari Dokubo have Igbo blood

CSTRR:
This is funny.

A lot of igbos started from scratch even till today.
They get one or two loans from family or friends , start buying and selling and then become rich.

That your first statement is very clownish.

Na lie. There were A LOT of Igbo rich and landlords in Lagos by 1972. They didn't get there with £20!

Furious1:
What's your numerical equivalent of more than enough. Gimme an estimate in percentage

Just like millions of Igbos were killed, but today you won't even notice

Furious1:
OMG, I thought we could actually have a good conversation.
Are you kidding me rn. Can you please read those lines again I think maybe you forgot to correct a few things. Only those who attach themselves to what. Your theory is so wrong,
Do you even need a shop to start in Nigeria, those ppl carrying things about must be a joke to you.

Ask around, see if you can find anyone who started with £20 and became rich by 1972 - by which time there were A LOT of rich Igbos in Nigeria

Newton85:
I should ask Ahmad Bello and Niger Delta people? Lol, okay. Whatever delusions make you sleep better at night.

Sorry, I posted IPOB propaganda by mistake. I have corrected it.

Furious1:
If your theory is correct we'd have only a handful of rich Igbo ppl in Nigeria. If you write an article on this, nobody will publish it

There were A LOT of rich Igbo folks before the war. Igbos dominated the economy. So, yes, the war eliminated many, but there were more than enough left to repopulate. Do u think Louis Ojukwu family started with £20?

Furious1:
People are starting with nothing rn. You Say £20 no fit put you up over time.

Only those that attached themselves to some rich kin. With £20 u may eat but u won't become wealthy. How much was it to rent a shop??

Newton85:

Furious1:
I like you so I'm going to be replying you all through.
Did you do maths in school. Cus if you did you'd understand why 1.4 is rounded to 1, ps; .4 is insignificant, are trying to say the money they kept at home was significant enough to level up? Do you even know how many ppl were displaced during the war

Yes, and millions were killed. None became rich, obviously. The new Igbo rich after the war were those who went back to the wealth they had before the war, and boys who served them and later became rich themselves

Igwe29:
How does he run all these hotels at the same time and manage to sleep well?

That's why he is a billionaire (naira) and u r not!

Add to that the fear of being kidnapped and unknown gunmen, being father of young children

CSTRR:
Most started from scratch.

The few that got their wealth back would have serious lobbying power.

Regardless, it set igbos back seriously.

Na lie. Most that started with just £20 never got back their footing back. It is those who went back to their previous wealth and boys who served them apprenticeship, who became the new wealthy

Amalekki:
What does it profit a man to waste his data arguing about another man's properties only to quietly return to his cold plate of Fufu and Kpomo

Some of us have money, and time, - and unlimited data!

CSTRR:
Nah.
There is no way there wouldn't have been a severe lose of wealth.

We are talking about a black African country here just coming out of a civil war with winners and losers.

Spoils of war would come into play.

Yes there was serious loss of wealth, but not that every Igbo started with £20. Most wealthy b4 the war had money in banks and buildings - they started with those not £20!

Newton85:
Japanese and Koreans are not considered "whites" in Nigeria. Maybe only to ill-educated folks like you though. I don't need to argue with the utterly asinine spurious claim that "Igbos have no competition among African descents worldwide". Those who make such claim in the first place not only suffering from psychosis, but also have room temperature IQ.

It's not me saying it. Ask Ahmad Bello and Niger Delta people - they complain bitterly that wherever Igbos go they quickly dominate the economy, no matter how much u try to keep them down

Furious1:
I didn't call you an Igbo. Between us you're the 1st person to use the word "Igbo"

Then who wrote the below
