BTW, the igbos started with £20 after the civil war.

The people that took their wealth are now comparing themselves with the people they defrauded.

Imagine if the old wealth of the igbos prior to the civil war was not eroded.

They would have been untouchable with multiple billionaires in dollars.

This is actually not totally true. Igbos that had money in banks still got their money back and some with rent arrears still got their rent money. Only Biafran money was exchanged for 20 pounds, no matter the amount

Newton85:
Excepting whites? You mean you Igbos have more wealth per capital even than the Japanese and Koreans? Lol, go seek help for your delusions.

Those are considered "whites" in Nigeria. At least u r not arguing Igbos have no competition among African descents worldwide

Furious1:
Lol
Ada even you. Strong Igbo queen

What makes u think I'm Igbo? Wrong!

adelaja70:
In Nigeria, the name Adebayo Ogunlesi does not ring a bell like the Dangotes, Adenugas, Otedolas, etc.

However, the man’s achievements in the global business circle – especially in the aviation sector – has been well celebrated around the world.

Adebayo Ogunlesi is a Nigerian lawyer and investment banker. He is referred to – especially in Nigerian circles – as “the man who bought Gatwick Airport”. Some also refer to him as the Nigerian who owns three airports in the United Kingdom.
IGBOS RESPECT YOUR OGA... AND STOP THE NOISE

See this one, shamelessly counting someone who doesn't even have up to $30 million.

Oga there are 3(three!) Billionaires in Nigera - Dangote, Adenuga, and the other Hausa guy

adelaja70:
With a net-worth of over three billion dollars ($3 Billion+) Nigerian born oil and Gas baron, Kase Lawal comes after David Steward, Oprah Winfery and Robert Smith as the fourth richest black person in America

A Yoruba man.... Born in Ibadan, he's the owner of CAMAC GROUPS IN TEXAS, USA
Igbos keep quite Abeg. Una noise too much..

You can cite anecdotal stuff all you want, the truth is, PER CAPITA, Igbos have no competition. And it has been like that for a long time. Ask Niger Delta people, ask Ahmad Bello. Wherever Igbos go, they quickly dominate the economy

shogsman:
Look at this ignoramus, igbo isn't even among top 50 richest tribes in the world,the GDP of California alone is bigger than all of africa and there are tribes there just so you know,not to talk of Russia, china,india,Japan, uk , countries that their yearly defense budget alone is almost as big as your entire country's GDP

You are the mumu for not knowing I said per capita and excepting whites

RodgersAkpafu:
Using per capita as a metric is even worse

The truth is, no other tribe beats Igbos per capita.
Which is not always a good thing. If you are Igbo there is enormous pressure to have money. You can't just be poor in peace, like in other tribes!

Elporo:
Your are on drugs right.

"any other tribe" .. you've not been around northern businessmen have you? This entire thing is just a popularity contest not "who is richer" contest ...

and you said in the world. .. why you guys like making people look down on easterners.

Have you been to Qatar, Dubai, KSA, China, Singapore, Japan...

My man, tribe-wise, per capita, non of them compete with Igbos.

Which is not always a good thing. If you are Igbo there is enormous pressure to have money. You can't just be poor in peace, like in other tribes

Joysticks:
None of them make their money in a legal means.

Voila!

Gotze1:
Your naira is useless compare to real ccurrency.They don't call it hard currency for fun.

If you don't have the hard currency in billion, you are not a billionaire.

I don't care if you like it or not.

There are only four billionaire in Nigeria.

There are 3 (THREE) Dollar Billionares in Nigeria

RodgersAkpafu:
Most chinese people are Han Chinese
And I tell you
That they are far richer than Igbos
What are you even dragging ?
Maybe it's because I'm defining ethnic groups from the lens of a westerner
Ethnic groups could have sub ethnic groups with slight distinctions under the umbrella of the broader ethnic group.
Just like Yoruba as an ethnic group further have Awori and Egba
And In igbo land, there is a distinction between Afikpo people and Owerri

Anyways

My friend make sense. We are obviously talking PER CAPITA. There are 1.5 billion Chinese. How many Igbos are there?

RodgersAkpafu:
Igbo is an ethnic group
Chinese is also an ethnic group
India can also be sub classified as an ethnic group (though most of them are Hindi)
The Far east is relatively homogenous
so yea
They can also be seen as an ethnic group (eg. Korean)

You probably need to travel more and see
Then you will know

You are the one that needs to travel more. All I need is google. See below

Joysticks:
These establishment are not up to 4 years old.l.

Show us what Adenuga or Dangote or Tinubu or Orji Kalu established to get the money

Goldbw122:
This is like advertisement of his business empire, wow business man really a wise man indeed..

Exactly what I'm thinking - trillions in free advertising!

RodgersAkpafu:
Pls dont say this in public
You will be ridiculed
Chinese and indian millionaires outnumber nigerian millionaires (all ethnic groups) combined
Millionaires from Brazil, the Gulf and other countries in the far east are many many
Igbos try
But not the richest ethnic group

I said tribe specifically for a reason. "Chinese" is not a tribe, neither is "indian"

Skipperrabiu:
even till date dey rich pass any other region in 9ja map

Na lie by far. There are more Igbo millionaires than any other tribe in the world except whites

Skipperrabiu:
Blood money more cash loading as he don sarcrifice his mother finish m tueh mtwe

If na by sacrifice South Western Nigeria for be the richest place on the planet, by far

KillMNKnow:
to satisfy my ego

Ego kee you there. That's not a good enough reason to kill a man. Suppose same is done to you nko?

KillMNKnow:
So those S13

Per your moniker, why do you want MNK killed?

tifany89:
You sound stupid honestly. Plz tell me the part of Nigeria where ones wealth is questioned whether legit or otherwise? i really want to know that state or region. Nor be only your both parents are igbo, balderdash.

Not only that, if his parents were really Igbo he won't be named olulaw AND he would also have known how to spell diarrhea!

oluztx:
Igbo description is very appropriate...very rebellious and zero regard for elders. In fact their elders fear them.

Yorubas, what can I say, disloyal is in their blood. This is how they are naturally!

Elders like Bubu? Who elders epp

9jah:
#HAUSA
The Hausa-Fulani has no ideals, no ambitions save such as sensual in character. He is a fatalist,

The term "Hausa-Fulani" is a recent coinage and did not exist in those days. Which renders your post suspicious

yungpowers:
O boy!
Sh!t is still like that. May thunder continue to faya Lugard wherever he is.
It has never worked and will never work but some disgruntled looters will never want to split the useless union as long as it keeps furnishing their luxuries.

We are waaayy too intertwined to just split like that. Confederation, maybe. But we'll never get to a scenario where a Nigerian needs a visa to go to another part of Nigeria.

What is brethen? You wrote it twice

.........if you lived around Anambra state especially Nnewi and ontisha between 1999/2000 you will know for sure that there is nothing innocent synonymous with the name Eddy na Nawgu.....almost at least one family in each community in those aforementioned town has some close first hand ugly experience with the man.

Well that's not what your story conveyed, with the wife's narration and all

InansBobo:
I can't agree more is the correct statement Seniorwriter

Don't understand how the woman pick that moniker when she can't even speak simple correct English, talkless of write!

From all you wrote they killed an innocent man tortured into confessing all type of nonsense.
Say no to extra-judical mobs like Bskassi boys!

Ayara222:
true talk


They are criminals. You know it you just choose to ignore it because you are a slave to money.

You are the kind of person that would have defended Hushpuppy or the other Forbes guy (cant remmember his name) until they get arrested.

You dont have to wait until a man is arrested to know his income is dubious. The company you keep for instance will tell you if your money is respectable. How many Bank of Oil company executives do you see at this function? If you a legitimate business man in Nigeria making the kind of money these men claim to be making, the bank MD, Directors etc will be at your functions.

Yahoo yahoo boys and drug dealers cannot buy respectability with all their money, so they tend to make noise (thats the whole point of the show of wealth) and move around with similar criminals. You rarely see people with legitimate businesses and respectable wealth making noise about their wealth/ showing off, their crowd are also respectable . Cosharis, Otedola, Aig Imoukhoude, Aliko, Folawiyo etc have more money than these clowns, they have businesses they can point to, you dont see them with yahoo boys, look at the calibre of people at their functions.

Nobody makes that kind of money from Nightclubs, the boss of popular Buzz Bar was recently arrested for internet fraud. Nightclubs are usually a front for illegitimate business

Mumu, ALL mega rich Nigerians are/were into illegality in one form or another! So stop talking like Dangote is holy

I wasn't using Twitter b4 the ban. I have now started using it because of the ban.
That's how it affected me
