19naia: I never knew how much he had actually been involved with,but i know he was a traveler who loved to be in his camel caravan that would strech for kiliometers across the deserts carrying lots of his wealth in gold and salt,he would arrive at strange places across africa and give away so much gold at the same value as salt and in some places where gold was not known or used,they prefered salt as more value...it was mansa´s great generousity that led greedy men of conquest to fix their eyes on him to plunder his fortune when he passed away......remember that the word "Salary" comes from the word "SAL" which neans "SALT"..."Salary" is from the time when salt was the great traded good of the empires on earth...people would be paid in salt slabs,and no more supriseing than people tradeing in cowry shells found in the dirt....Some people of various places would prefer to be paid in salt rather than gold...The places that produced salt still exist today and trade along the upper ranges of the niger river down to the south...There were many great lakes in sahel africa even bigger than the original lake Chad..They ranged from mali to niger and maybe even into Sudan..Its the dried lake beds that have concentrated minerals such as salt.....I suspect that the great "golden Monarchs" of ghana are related in ancient times to the early gold mining tribes that led to the rise of mansa musa tribe and the asante tribe..they all mine gold using the same technique....
thanks for this informations atlest I have lent something here

Nairaland GeneralThe Richest Man That Ever Lived Was A Black Man (mansa Musa); Full List Inside by Scarpon(op): 12:11am On Oct 19, 2012
King Mansa Musa’s astounding wealth came from his country Mali’s
production of more than half the world’s gold and salt, Celebrity Net
Worth said. A photograph of Mansa Musa on a map of North Africa circa
1375.
King Mansa Musa wasn’t just the 1% of the 14th century — he may be
the richest person of all time. As the obscure ruler of West Africa’s Mali
Empire, Musa amassed a jaw-dropping $400 billion during his reign from
1312 to 1337, according to a new inflation-adjusted list by
celebritynetworth.com.
As for Musa’s moolah, his “shocking wealth came from his country’s vast
production of more than half the world’s supply of salt and gold,”
according to the Celebrity Net Worth survey, which converted each
billionaire’s fortunes into 2012 dollars.
Musa was a devout Muslim who spearheaded an extensive building program
of palaces and mosques.
But his money was eventually lost after his death in 1337, when he was
believed to be in his late 50s.
“His heirs were not able to fend off civil war and invading conquerors.
Just two generations later, his world record net worth was gone,”
Celebrity Net Worth said.
Of the list’s top 25, 14 are Americans, including Microsoft founder Bill
Gates, whose inflation-adjusted worth is about $136 billion.
The 25 billionaires and families listed have made some megabucks, with a
combined worth of $4.3 trillion.

CrimeEFCC Nabs Currency Courier In Lagos Trying To Export $7m Cash To Dubai by Scarpon(op): 10:38pm On Sep 28, 2012
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) yesterday arrested one
Abubakar Tijani Sheriff, whom it described as
a bulk currency smuggler, as he attempted to
smuggle $7million out of the country.
The EFCC said in a statement today that
Sheriff, 24, was arrested at the Murtala
Mohammed International Airport in Lagos en
route Dubai, United Arab Emirates, as he
boarded his flight.
Following his arrest, he declared that he had
a total sum of $4.5million on him but
thorough screening and search showed that
he was actually carrying $7,049,444, the
commission said. Sheriff then confessed that
he was a courier for 20 individuals who hired
him to courier the money for them to Dubai.
“Investigations by the EFCC showed that
Sheriff is a regular traveller and one of
several couriers of illegal cash suspected to
be proceeds of crime,” the commission adding
that his claims concerning his accomplices are
being investigated.
Travellers leaving the country are statutorily
required to declare cash in excess of $
10,000. However, under the provisions of the
Money Laundering Act, it is not sufficient to
declare excess cash; the onus is on the
person making the declaration to explain the
source of the excess cash and the reason for
the export.
The EFCC noted that globally, bulk cash
smuggling is usually associated with proceeds
of crime, where legitimately earned funds are
processed through the banking system.
“Our experience in the last few years
indicates an emerging trend of bulk cash
smuggling to Europe, Middle East and North
America with the attendant consequence for
capital flight. Some Nigerian citizens are
routinely arrested at airports in Europe and
North American for currency smuggling
though no such arrests have been recorded in
the Middle East. But in all cases, the money is
lost as they are never repatriated back to
the country.”
The Commission warned travellers who wish
to move bulk cash out of the country to do so
through the banking system, or to be
prepared to declare it and explain its origin.
Sheriff is being detained at the EFCC’s
holding facility in Lagos pending his
arraignment in court.
