The fact that you saw a hundred year old Nigerian doesn't mean the life expectancy has increased.

Go to the graveyard and check the ages inscribe on the gravestones. People in their 20s and 30s are dying at an alarming rate.

The real reason for Nigeria's low life expectancy though, is the high infant mortality. By the time you add the ages of the hundreds of babies dying daily, to the few aged people, you find the average is about 46-52.

I dream of living past 50, but the way this country is, I'm doubtful.

Correct,
It’s the poor standard of education and healthcare
1. Education- Women having too many babies due to poor or no sex education
2. Healthcare- Both the system and technology of the healthcare is horrifically behind the rest of the world. That’s why many Nigerian women like to have their kids abroad. The chances of death for them or the child are much lower.

You have all manners of issues tucked in one body. It ain't a matter of either, but certainty. You have comprehension issues with burning h@te, poor upbringing, shameful level of moral, dirty mudfight and ·disgusting bigotry. You're already down the mud and continue to look for whom to drag down the mess with you.
For clarity, the word “might” in the context of my previous post didn't represent “may” or its past tense （such tense would have been incorrect in a present tense context to start with） but is a conditional word that iterate acceptance of the point of contest EVENTHOUGH THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL POINT THAT ONE'S WILLING TO INPUT. That the western dudes in this argument are FAR richer than DANGOTE hadn't been a point of contest in any of my post. From first to this last one （'cause I won't honour you with another reply after this）, I hadn't disputed it. So, what seems to be your problem that you drag me around for it？And why is it that the fury you have over certain Nigerians believing DANGOTE is richer （even though I hold my reservation over that accusation because Ii've never met one who believe DANGOTE is richer than any of MUSK, GATES, MARK, BEZOS, et all. Not even the semi- and the stark illiterate on the street） should be expended on my mention？ How's what others think my concern？ If you find it difficult understanding simple sentence or worse still, looking for a fight opposition, I'm sorry I can't help you. This is goodbye.

I wasn’t just talking about but others on thread. Yes, Nigerians do clearly have chauvinistic nationalism if they are comparing themselves with the developed world. Look again people like payaseri have compared Diezani to the likes of Musk, Gates and so on.

This has nothing to do with bigotry or burning hate. It is simply stating the truth.

PHAYOL81:


It is either you have comprehension issue or you just love mudfight. Despite having told you I ain't comparing their wealth, you still go on slapping the same bullsh!t on me especially with irrational abuse that denotes your poor upbringing and shameful manners. If you're frustrated, spare me the fury 'cause I ain't the cause of your problem.
As for DANGOTE not supposed to be in the same sentence with MARK, BEZOS, GATES, MUSK etc, you're absolutely just spewing h@te because in as much as DANGOTE remains the richest in Africa and keeps expanding his empire, he would always be in the talks involving extremely rich dudes. FORBES would always list him in the context. It doesn't matter what rank he holds, he would always be there.
Don't let your dislike for DANGOTE becloud your gumption. Whether you wish him well or not, he will always attain the height he's destined to. Eventhough he might not be as rich as the western dudes, it takes nothing away from his resilient and ruggedity as an enterprenuer.

I wasn’t referring to just you but the Nigerians on this thread in general. One even compared the wealth of Diezani to Elon Musk. He might not be as rich as the western elite? Wtf is wrong with you? He is DEFINITELY nowhere near as rich as the western elite. Are f****** crazy?! Someone like Rockefeller was at over 410 billion USD was richer than even Mansa Musa. I’m not even going onto the likes of the Rotschilds, Vanderbilts, Musk, Gates, Buffet and so on. As I mentioned prior, You can hardly compare African billionaires to Latin American billionaires not to talk of ones from the developed world. There is not a single African that has up to a third if not a quarter of the wealth of Carlos Slim.
I don’t understand why do Nigerians have such hard time accepting that there countries and individuals far richer and more powerful than them. Dangote is a child not even a child next to the likes of gates, musk,Bezos etc. in fact he is more like a foetus 😂😂 in terms of wealth.

Who are you lying to? Very few people in Africa have clean money. It’s dirty, even Dangote has dirty money.

payaseriy:


Hmmmm

Well, it seems you're a useless narcissistic tribalist that has beefs with Igbos. I am not an Igbo bt I don't go around hating people because I have my own business to mind.

I didn't even read pass the insult you wrote on ur first mention, cos it obvious I was talking to a frustrated person.

Drugs or no drugs, it none of my problem. I don't care. I don't hate Igbos and I don't like some of them either... Bt it will be very premature to assume anyone with a different point of view from urs must be an Igbo.

There are 250 ethnic group in Nigeria. Not just Igbo. Just a reminder that some of the people with a modest opinion from enslavement doctrine, are from a different tribe entirely

DO ENJOY THIS LITTLE ATTENTION. I HOPE IT
FINDS YOU UNWELL.

Bruh wtf does tribalism have anything to do with this? My point was that people like you are overstating the wealth of Africa.

Shokoloko:
There is something inherently wrong with a black man.

OP those people are beaten down, traumatized. First off, it was not the capitalist way that made the US a land of opportunity.
It was on the blood of their fathers that America became a land of opportunity.

If Africans and Nigerians are so resourceful and hardworking why cant we turn our own country and continent into a land of opportunity.

If not for them and their sacrifices, Africans will still be made to do the video editing work you did and the whites will not pay.

We go and take advantage of what they built and look down on them.

Do you know that African American boys are targeted to be convicted and sent to prison WHETHER THEY COMMIT A CRIME OR NOT just so that they lose the right to vote.

Nigerians go there and turn their noses up at them yet cannot go back home and make Nigeria great.

Nigerians go there and end up surpassing them. African immigrants perform way better than Black Americans. The reason is because they get on with it instead of blaming people for things that happened centuries ago. Blacks weren’t the only ones discriminated in the US. Everyone was. But Blacks let it affect them the most.
https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2018/04/24/sub-saharan-african-immigrants-in-the-u-s-are-often-more-educated-than-those-in-top-european-destinations/

Black Americans will be crying for reparations and justice when African immigrants will be making great strides in America. Look at US Treasury Deputy is it not a Nigerian?

You truly are Nigerian. Ignorant, Lack of self control and always results to blaming others. You put the D in DUMB. You’re actually brain dead at this point.

What happened in the past is what has happened in the past. We can’t change it. We cannot live in the past. The reason we study history is to understand about how life was back then and ensure we don’t repeat the same mistakes as our ancestors. It is to understand about how our world has functioned and to enable us to create a better tomorrow. But we can’t allow history to affect us. The future is what matters.
A country is not a statue. It is constantly evolving. So stop this nonsense of Group X built this country. The only thing that is constant in this life is change. How much of US infrastructure from the 17th-19th century do you think is in the US today? America is way too big and diverse of nation for one ethnic group to claim sole responsibility for building it. Everyone built it. But in terms of innovation, Blacks have always lagged behind other races. It’s not close especially if we are talking about America. Not by any stretch of imagination. Black Education in the US is leagues behind Whites, Asians and even Hispanic not to talk of innovation. Innovation thrives on intelligence, curiosity and so on. Dumb people don’t innovate. Less educated people do not innovate period. Whether we are talking about Blacks in the US or Blacks globally. Then yes, Blacks are far behind any other race. It is not close. In America Even Hispanics patent more than Blacks do today.

The America of 100 years ago is not the same America of today. The America of today will not be the same as the America in 100 years time. Infrastructure is being destroyed, New ones are being built. Industries are dying. Industries are evolving. New industries are also being built. Thus it’s pointless to claim who built X country because the builders are always changing. It’s not static. How much of US infrastructure and industries that the slaves built do you think is still there? Very little. Look at buildings such as the White House, Slaves built it at first but it was destroyed and the building was reconstructed by Truman entirely. It’s a ship of Theseus. Blacks only built certain sections to the American south as that’s where they mostly reside even till today. But whatever they built was destroyed by the Union Army at the end of the Civil War. The American South was only rebuilt after WW2. At a time when the US was 90% white.

Whites built the America of 19th and 20th century. But in the 21st century, It is certainly not the Blacks or even whites that driving the US forward. It’s the Asian and Latino immigrants. They are replacing BA. Look at the demographics of US construction workers, labour force, agriculture and innovation. Asian ingenuity is maintaining US leadership in innovation,Science and Technology. Latino Labour is maintaining and building the current and new infrastructure of the nation.Latinos are 46% of construction labourers. It’s the Latinos and Asians that are building modern America, not the blacks which is far important, They are the ones building the America of tomorrow. Up to 40% of the country will be Asian or a Latin by 2060.

Blacks didn’t build the America of the past. The US is not just Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and so on. It’s a continental sized nation. The Western USA which is the biggest and fastest growing region of the country was built by whites, Asians and Hispanics. They never even made more than 20% of the country. How can they build what they aren’t even in for the most part? Slaves for the large part were uneducated, even till today Black Americans still lag woefully behind other ethnicities/races in academics whether that is literary rates, reading performance, GPA or test results. They come last. Most of the worst schools and colleges in the nation are black dominated. Slaves were performing menial tasks not inventing things. They were caring, feeding and taking care of the people that actually built America.

You are clueless about US and World History.your displaying Nigerian educational standards 😂😂

you could make ur point without raining abuses...

But it is true. Am I wrong? Nigeria ranks in the top 10 largest drug trafficking countries. And I’m now not surprised because by the way many of them talk. The drugs must be really strong 😂😂 What inflated their ego? You think a handful of affluent neighbourhoods in Africa makes Africa rich. You Idiots think you’re the shit but you’re not. You’re nothing. This is delusional. Africa is not where wealth is and is certainly not where the richest individuals are, not by any stretch of imagination. People that think otherwise are just brain dead at this point. I’m sorry but it is a stupid idea. Brazil alone has 3 times more billionaires than Africa combined. You can’t even put the elites of Africa on par with Latin America not to talk of Asia, Europe, North America and in general the developed world.
Something is wrong with you people.

PHAYOL81:


Who is comparing worth of products Mark, Bezos, Gates etc have in the market against Dangote's？ I ain't that crazy so go back to my post and read with clear mind. What I insinuated was that Dangote,had number of individual products he has invested in than those people listed eventhough a product of each of them may be worth more than all Dangote products put together.
I made that assertion in correction of the impression of a poster who believed Dangote don't invest in more fields like Mark.

So you ain’t that crazy but you’re still crazy? You shouldn’t even put
DANGOTE
AND

THE LIKES OF ZUCKERBERG, Gates, Larry Paige on the same sentence. They are way out of his league. Outside of Africa, how many people have heard of Dangote’s company?

Compare that to the likes of Google, Meta (Facebook) and Microsoft that are universal, those terms are ubiquitous.

My point was that Dangote will not have anywhere near the wealth as in not even 1/10th of the wealth of people that literally founded trillion dollar companies. I’ve seen Nigerians comparing their elites to those of the US, China, UK, Germany or any major economy. That is ridiculous.

The reason I didn't acknowledge those facts you presented is cos it was complied by the Europeans. You claimed all they did was cotton picking, too bad you know nothing about blacks. So many inventions were done by the blacks from warfare to medicine even education, history was rewritten and that's why you have people like you today. I understand. I called you ignorant cos you aren't aware of the rewritten history. I don't intend to write much and yes the African American community is in disarray and like I maintained it's by design.. I don't expect you to understand the pattern cos you don't know your history and blacks are like vermin to you.. I hope you see the light my friend.. Don't be quick to look down at the black race.. Yes greed and wickedness has overtaken the black race and the love for European goods but It wasn't always so..

This has nothing to do with me viewing black people as vermin but a statement of the truth. It’s hard to see the light when it is covered by darkness.

Additionally, I have come to the realisation that it is even kind of pointless to talk about who built this country. A country is not statue. It’s constantly evolving everyday. Only thing that is constant in life is change. It doesn’t matter what people from centuries ago were doing. The US of the 1900s is unrecognisable to the US of today. The same way that the US of today will be unrecognisable of the US in a century’s time. Very little of what is in America today was built by levels. In fact,Whatever the slaves built in America was destroyed by the North in the Ciivl War. Slaves were overwhelmingly concentrated in the South. But the South was levelled by the end of the civil war and wasn’t rebuilt till after WW2.
What matters is the present and the future. History is history. We can’t change that.

And it is clear by what you even admitted that BA community is in disarray compared to other ethnic groups. They certainly aren’t the ones building the America of today or the America of the future. Whites built the America of the 19th and 20th century. But Asians and Latinos are building the US of 21st century and beyond.
Demographically, By 2060 as Whites are ageing and Blacks are aborting babies,killing eachother and so on. Asians and Latinos will account for around 30-40% of the US population.

They are a growing share of the US’s Construction and Labour Force.

Without Hispanic Labor or Asian ingenuity, America would collapse. They are the ones quite literally pushing America forward, building and maintaining the infrastructure, doing the jobs that other Americans don’t want to do.

Oh well at least you’re not delusional to the extent that you create a therapeutic history. But you’re still wrong on many fronts. But I agree with some.
1. It was always so- Africa and the Black World has always been far behind not just Europe but virtually the entire world. Asian Civilisations were far more sophisticated than any of Africa. The same can be said for Mesoamerica.

2. I’m not denying that Blacks whether that is in the US or other parts of the world didn’t create Inventions. But those inventions were dwarfed by other ethnic groups/continents. In the US, Blacks haven’t made anywhere near the quantity or quality of inventions as whites or Asians. Initially, It was Whites that powered the US in terms of the US’s industrial development. Not saying that Blacks didn’t contribute. They did. But the whites took the lion share. Even till today, US Tech and Academia is still very much dominated by whites
https://www.eeoc.gov/special-report/diversity-high-tech#:~:text=Compared%20to%20overall%20private%20industry,percent%20to%208%20percent)%2C%20and

Just look at this paper that confirms that during the gilded age of the US. Blacks only accounted for 3% of US Patents.
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-black-innovators-who-elevated-the-united-states-reassessing-the-golden-age-of-invention/

The paper does confirm what you’re saying is true that blacks did invent a lot but obviously nowhere as much as their white counterparts.
The US’s industrial rise was because of Europe and Asia. It was largely Europe but as time goes on. Asians are the ones sustaining America’s lead in Science and Technology. America didn’t really kick off as a country till the late 19th century. 85-90% of Current US Industries and Infrastructure came after WW2.

The reason America took off as a country boils down to a couple of factors.

1. The Great Wars and Cold War: Europe,Asia, Latin America, Africa and pretty much the entire world was very badly affected by the wars particularly Europe and Asia with the exception of America that wasn’t affected by the world wars. But it grew because the great wars meant that all of America’s rivals were reduced to rubble. It was the last standing industrialised country. America at that point became like what China is to the world today. The world factory. It was the military industrial complex that led to the US selling weapons to allied powers, giving loans to other countries and getting most of the gold in the world leading to things like Bretton Woods which created dollar hegemony which is a pillar of US hegemony. Great Wars knocked out America’s competitors, made it the world’s factory and led to people from other parts of the world emigrating to the US. Cold War with Soviets led to the country spending obscene amounts of money for R and D establishing its leadership in science and technology.

2. Immigration- The film Oppenheimer is centred around this change of leadership in science and technology. Up until WW2, Europe not America was the centre of science, technology and innovation. For most of America’s history, Europeans viewed the US as a backwater of a republic and that view even remains today to a certain extent. The Brits were the ones that gave the Americans crucial technology during the world. America just became the leader in science and technology because there was a serious of influx of Europeans from the 1880s up until the 1970s. In the 20th Century, America for most of it was around 90% White because of the influx of Europeans coming there and it even increased more so when the USSR collapsed, destabilising Eastern Europe and many Eastern Europeans fled and are still fleeing to the US. If not for Europe and to a less extent Asia, American innovation wouldn’t be anywhere what it is today. US leadership in science and technology would be non-existent. The US brain drained Europe and took their best minds such as Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell and so on during the Great Wars.
Thus, what Shokoloko and her brain dead+deluded supporters were stating is absolute nonsense. Europeans and to a lesser extent Asians for the large part (not all part) built America its industries, infrastructure, made it innovative as well as sustained its leadership in science and technology. That is a fact and a well established fact.

3. This isn’t revisionist history. This is history period. The reason why Blacks and African societies didn’t innovate or prosper or develop like how Asians, Europeans and even Latino societies is because of culture and the fact that the black world has a victim mentality more so than any other part of the world. History is never black and white. No one is completely innocent or entirely guilty. There are two sides of the coin. Africa was not the only region of the world to be colonised. Asia and Latin America were too but they didn’t fare anywhere as badly as Africa did. The same way that Blacks weren’t the only ones in the US to have a tough time. Everyone did. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and even the whites themselves. The Irish along with the Chinese that built most of the railroads in the country were indentured and put under terrible working conditions. Look at the Chinese Exclusion Act, The US banned people from China. That act is a reason why the Asian population in the US is nowhere as big as it could have. But it is growing as Asians are the fastest growing demographic in the country faster than even Latinos. They held Japanese and Germans in concentration camps during WW2. Till today,There is a lot of Asian hate in the West especially during COVID. But Asian Americans didn’t allow that to stop them from becoming what they are which is the most successful ethnic group in America.

ignorance? I’m the one that’s presenting sources here and you’re accusing me of being ignorant? What have you done. All you said is “muhself hate” but you’re ignoring the empirical information presented to you. When you analyse history and the current climate of the US today. Then yes, Black America trails behind the rest of the massively. That is not self hate. That is a fact. Whether we are looking at education, crime, innovation, poverty and so on. Blacks rank the worst by far of in almost all indices.

Even Hispanic America is way way ahead as well as more united and stable than Black America. What the OP said is largely true. BA community is in shambles.

Iamzik:


Black Americans are no different. They will go to any length to dissociate themselves from Africans while also claiming to be victims. I see you want to sound all nice but know that they don't rate Africans and most of them will talk down on you in a heartbeat once they know you are from Africa no matter the country

Africans have a victim mentality but nowhere to the same extent as BA that still cry and moan over something that happened like 400 years ago. It’s so stupid. Are East Asians still upset over the mongols inquiring them? Are Brits still upset over the Germans, Italians and French ruling over them? Nothing in life is black and white. There are always two sides of a story.

When you put Africans and BA in the same environment, Africans will outperform them because Africans are tougher psychologically and mentally as the African lifestyle is by far and large the hardest on this planet. Africans live a much harder life than anywhere on this planet. If you bring BA to Africa especially the worse parts of Africa. They won’t last a week.

It was all done by design.. What's your excuse for Nigeria? A Fulani man tells you what to do, you sold your home to travel, yet you insult the African Americans.. Be calming down..

So you’ve admitted that Black America is in a dire state.

achillesfoot:
You are the only one that spoke with reason..look at how Nigerians are insulting African Americans? Very pathetic. Shows the high rate of dumb Nigerians.

Shokoloko didn’t speak with reason. If you read the crap she wrote. She actually believes in the Afrocentric inventions list of so called “black inventions” She made it seem like as if Blacks played a much more important role in the building of America than they actually did. It was European and Asian Settlers that built America. Point Blank. They built the infrastructure,industries did most of the innovations, created the systems of the country and so on. They built America. That’s not to say BA didn’t help. America is too big and diverse of a country for one race to claim sole credit to building it.
But BA’s wasn’t as significant as the other ethnicities. Hispanics and Latinos have done contributed far more to the US than BA ever has and ever will.They are the ones building modern America and the America of tommorow. Look at the demographics of US construction workers:

“ The most common ethnicity of construction workers is White (52.9%), followed by Hispanic or Latino (27.7%), Black or African American (11.1%) and Unknown (4.0%). In 2021, women earned 94% of what men earned”

Look at the Demographics of US labor force:
Among adult men (20 years and older) in the largest race and ethnicity groups (White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic), Hispanics were the most likely to be in the labor force, with a participation rate of 79.5 percent, and Blacks were the least likely, with a rate of 68.0 percent. The labor force participation rate was 74.9 percent and 70.1 percent for Asian adult men and White adult men, respectively. Among adult women, Blacks (62.0 percent) were more likely to participate in the labor force than were Hispanics (59.9 percent), Asians (59.5 percent), and Whites (57.1 percent). Among teenagers (16 to 19 years), Whites were more likely to participate in the labor force than were other groups, with a participation rate of 39.0 percent, followed by Hispanic teens (33.2 percent) and Black teens (29.8 percent). Asian teens were the least likely to participate in the labor force at 23.0 percent.

Look at the Demographic of US innovation:
https://www2.itif.org/2016-demographics-of-innovation.pdf

What Shokoloko said about the demographics of US innovation is absolute nonsense. Slaves were uneducated and illiterate. They weren’t inventing anything. They were doing menial tasks like picking up cotton or shifting this object here. They were feeding the people that actually built America
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-black-innovators-who-elevated-the-united-states-reassessing-the-golden-age-of-invention/

Even by today’s standards, In terms of academic achievement Blacks have the lowest standards of all races/ethnicities. I can provide sources if necessary whether you’re looking at SAT, ACT scores, Reading Scores and GPA. They are the lowest even Hispanics outperform Black Americans academically and that’s embarrassing because many Hispanics are coming from poor third world countries where they either didn’t go to school or didn’t receive education in English yet they still outperform BA.

jara:
This is the consequences of not teaching African History in schools. Even before dropping History in schools recently, the older Africans in Africa learn European and British history before African history was introduced in the 60s.

So we should not be surprised by the self denigrating arguments by African Youths against Africans and African Americans.

But note that the only place African Americans lag behind or stuck is in America. Once they cross the border either into Canada or Europe, you hardly find poor African Americans.

By the way African Americans do better in your backyard Nigeria where most Nigerians wallow in abject poverty.

Who cursed you or put you in Dark Continent for hundred years while they steal all your invections and discoveries as theirs?

That is not true, other than income and cultural influence. Black America is doing terribly compared to other blacks in developed countries. Blacks in Europe are far more intelligent than Blacks in America. It’s not close.

TrueNigerian300:


The world is just pretending China is already the largest economy. When you look at GDP by PPP which is a more inclusive approach you can see they are the largest already. The day petroldollar system dies that is the end of the US.

PPP is only relevant to the domestic market. It’s far more unrealistic as it assumes all the prices of goods and services are the same in the world.

Diezani has cool cash, oil money in billions of Dollars, all cash, hundreds of bank accounts
with millions usd statched away, properties worth billions... That's been rich. maybe more than 500 Billion USD, Try Danjuma too, there is money in this country, you're just not in the right cartel that's why you are not aware.

Naira was way higher than dollar in exchange rate... do you know what devalues currency and causes inflation ?, excess money in circulation.

Some people will just call cbn governor to print 500 Billion Naira privately just like that. Abacha did it, what makes you think the other politicians didn't, but nobody can try that in the United States.

Dave Umahi built a house in Asokoro worth more than 10 Billion Naira. Don't ask me how I know about the cost, anyways, let me tell u. My company handled part of the project.


Once you become a local government chairman in Nigeria, u will never poor again in this life. If you're lucky and become a senator, your children and grandchildren will never be poor. If you become a governor, your descendant will not be poor, if u become a president, your family will never be poor till the end of time.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that richest people of the world originate in the largest economies in the world. How is that surprising? Africa’s wealth is outmatched not even just by countries like UK and Germany but even companies such as Meta and Apple. You are definitely on something If you think the richest people of Africa have even 1/10th of people that literally control trillion dollar companies.
Nothing in this life lasts forever. The same can be said for the stolen money of Nigerian politicians.
It should come as no surprise that all the richest people in the world are exclusively from the G20 countries. Larger economies means more wealth. The amount of capital that countries like the US and China spend on infrastructure ALONE is more than the wealth of Africa put together.
There is money in Nigeria but the problem is that only about 200 people at most own all that money. Top 5 Us billionaires alone have more wealth than all of Nigeria combined.
Put in this to perspective, More money is flowing through London per day than Africa in a year.

Whatever Diezani has both illegal or not is nowhere near the kind of wealth that these people have. Not in a trillion years.
Hiding wealth is also not something that is exclusive to Africa. It happens allover in the world even in the most developed countries. But with developed countries, they have a very strong rule of law and fairly effective institutions that make plundering the nation’s wealth next to impossible (UK PM Boris Johnson lost his job and career for having a part, not to talk of stealing money) but that doesn’t mean western billionaires don’t go to tax havens to avoid their wealth being reduced or storing it in offshore accounts.

How on earth is building a 7 million dollar house impressive? When buildings like Buckingham Palace are valued at over 1 billion USD.

net worth is not what in the bank account. Elon musk doesn't have up to 1 Billion USD in his bank account, but he has shares in companies. In order for him to raise $2 Billion he would have to sell some of his shares first...

But

Diezani has cool cash, oil money in billions of Dollars, all cash, hundreds of bank accounts
with millions usd statched away, properties worth billions... That's been rich. maybe more than 500 Billion USD, Try Danjuma too, there is money in this country, you're just not in the right cartel that's why you are not aware.

Naira was way higher than dollar in exchange rate... do you know what devalues currency and causes inflation ?, excess money in circulation.

Some people will just call cbn governor to print 500 Billion Naira privately just like that. Abacha did it, what makes you think the other politicians didn't, but nobody can try that in the United States.

Dave Umahi built a house in Asokoro worth more than 10 Billion Naira. Don't ask me how I know about the cost, anyways, let me tell u. My company handled part of the project.


Once you become a local government chairman in Nigeria, u will never poor again in this life. If you're lucky and become a senator, your children and grandchildren will never be poor. If you become a governor, your descendant will not be poor, if u become a president, your family will never be poor till the end of time.

Your comment is proof that Nigerians are some of the most egocentric individuals you can ever meet on this planet. You really think the rich of Africa can measure up to the rich of other countries in the world? Even Latin America has more billionaires than Nigeria and Africa not to talk of western nations.
You’re definitely on crack. No one in Nigeria has up to 50 billion USD whether in cash or assets especially when considering as to how the naira has been devalued in the past decades. What you’re saying is nonsense. Diezani is not even as rich as Dangote not to talk of overseas billionaires. It’s hilarious. Some Nigerians think a couple of fairly affluent neighbourhoods means the country is rich 😂😂

Are you his accountant or something? How do you know how much doesn’t he has in his bank account. You think someone that’s running large multinational tech giants won’t have significant cash. This thread has nothing to do with liquidity. It’s about who has the most wealth. Who is the richest. Not who has the most in the bank account. Point is the likes of Elon Musk, Zuckerberg are around 10-15 times wealthier than the richest African.
Naira was like that when it was a fixed currency. When they started floating it. The naira was devalued like it is now. Someone like Elon Musk will definitely have a significant amount of cash on him. Just look at how he bought twitter. He pulled out 20 billion USD in cash to do that. Diezani can’t do that. Neither can even Dangote. Elon Musk could buy everything Diezani has without breaking a sweat.

Buying of Twitter:
The funding included $7 billion of senior secured bank loans; $6 billion in subordinated debt; $6.25 billion in bank loans to Musk personally, secured by $62.5 billion of his Tesla stock; $20 billion in cash equity from Musk, to be provided by sales of Tesla stock and other assets; and $7.1 billion in equity from 19 ...


500 billion Naira is not even up to 400 million dollars. A white man in New York gave his wife 1 Billion USD to settle the divorce case. Craziest part is that kind of money is ticket change to him.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/wife-leaves-one-worlds-richest-29589578.amp

Jeff Bezos’s Wife became the richest woman in the world temporarily because of their divorce case. The loss wouldn’t have barely tickled Bezos.

Look I understand that Nigeria and Africa have some very rich individuals but for the most part. They are nowhere as rich as those in developed countries. You really think the likes of Tinubu, Diezani, Dangote, Abacha, Otedola etc are comparable to Musk, Rothschilds, Brin, Bezos, Gates, Buffet etc . Then your not to be taken seriously.

Say all this to the black american women who get instantly wet as soon as they meet a Nigerian brother out here. I know this because I get this reaction all the time from AA. They know we take care of our women and provide for them with pride.

As opposed to their Tyrone who can usually be seen flexing with their woman's car and comfortable being financially dependent on her for his livelihood. Her words, not mine. Those are normal aspects of your culture we do not ascribe to.

And I don't know why you are repeating me. I already told you that there is huge wealth disparity in Nigeria. You're either balling or you're not... And this is why when we as a group get to a place with opportunities... We don't dull like you do.

Yes you will see the poor young boys and girls in Nigeria working hard to make money to afford those school fees... Because they know the value of education and how it will change their life.
Yet your school fees are even free till college, yet some of you drop out of even FREE school, yet blaming everyone else. Your people don't take advantage of opportunities. You rather complain.

It is not about the poverty, it is about the heart. And a good percentage of you have the heart of lazy complainers. You would not survive the Nigerian hussle if you ever had to. And that is why when we get to the land you keep complaining about, we become the most educated and most accomplished group of people in your country. Also it is ignorant to think Nigerians are on the same level as other immigrants. We don't play when it comes to the level up and we are well known for that.

Go read facts.
But you know this already. It's why you are here, to look for a Nigerian man to save you from your wretched loneliness. We don't want you.

You’re spitting facts, Though obviously Black America is far better off whether that be in terms standard of living or education compared to Africans. However For developed standards, They perform terribly. They lag behind other ethnic groups in the US significantly in all walks of life whether that is education, income, life expectancy and so on.

BA just fares better than Africans because they are in a highly advanced country. But it is fair to say that BA is a group of overprivellged brats that don’t realise how good they have it. If you put Africans and BA in the same environment. Africans will outperform them because Africans are tougher psychologically and mentally. If you survive in Africa, you have survived in the worst part of the world. There is no worse than Africa. If you survive in the jungle. You can survive anywhere on this planet. That’s why Africans succeed so much in the diaspora. Other than income and cultural influence, Black America is a joke compared to all the other Africans in the diaspora (except Africa offcourse) Blacks in Europe outperform African Americans.

Seeing this video now really make me understand the level to which some people hate this mockery of almagamatism called a country.
The question we never ask our selves is,
"HOW DID AT ALL COME TO THIS"
We were once people who loved our selves, my father grow up in the north. And he never for once said any bad thing about the north, east, west and the south.

We were once an envy of even the western nations. The naira was once on top.
What happened?
How did it come to this?
What can we do to remedy the situation?
Or is there no hope for Nigeria?

Lmaoo an envy of western nations? 😂😂😂😂 good joke. Nigeria had multiple coups and a civil war in the first 10 years of its independence. It was always a failed state. Lugard never envisioned for It to become a genuine country. Nigeria was never real.

seanwilliam:
3 trillion$?

Means apple has more value than the whole of NIGERIA?? How can a single company be richer than over 200 m people?.. fake

How is that fake? It’s their market capitalisation. That’s their value. Nigerians need to understand that they are nothing on the world stage.

Enny2013:
I thought I would see a Nigerian in d list.

Some Nigerians have a serious ego problem. To think that Nigeria has billionaires on par with the rest of the world is crazy. Africa barely accounts for 3% of global economic output. US, China, EU, UK, Brazil, Mexico and the other world powers will have way more and far wealthier billionaires than any African nation. That is a fact.

Fineman2:
There's no single black man among the first top ten

They are all Americans

That’s not surprising. Black Nations tend to be way poorer than Asian, White and even Latin ones.

payaseriy:
Put Diezani Madueke

E get money pass Elon Musk... Elon musk suppose be her houseboy sef

That’s how I know you’re crazy. No one in Nigeria has up to 40 billion USD not to talk 200 billion USD. What is that?


Diezani would just be one of Elon’s maids 😂😂you’re crazy. I know Nigerians have an ego problem but goddam. This is something else. The elites of the developed world put those of Nigeria in their place. There are dozens of regions out there with far far far far far wealthier individuals than in Nigeria or Africa whether It is the Gulf, East Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America and so on.

Uchesis:
I thought Elon musk is South african

He’s mother was Canadian born and bred. His grandad was American. He was just born in SA to a Canadian Mother. His family moved there for explorative reasons. But he spent his life in Canada and USA for the large part.
