There are rummors that Jason Njoku and Ladi Delano got their start as Yahoo Boys - Guy Men is this true?"

I have been told that many cafe owners are infact the Guyman who support and finance the scammers. Is that True?

Please send me any and all information you may find about the Festival.

I will be vising Festac Festival with my wife and children and I have heard that it is considered the New York City of Nigeria.

I want to know is it a safe place for me to take my family? Please tell me all you can about Festac.


Thanks You

There are thousands of young and immensely successful entrepreneurs across the African continent. There’s a growing number of Africans aged 40 and under who are legitimately amassing multi-million dollar fortunes. They don’t inherit stuff; they build it themselves.

The list comprised of:

•Mark Shuttleworth, 38, South African, Founder, Knife Capital
•Ashish Thakkar, 29, Ugandan, Co-Founder and CEO, Mara Group
•Ladi Delano, 30, Nigerian, Founder and CEO, Bakrie Delano Africa
•Justin Stanford, 28, South African, Founder & CEO, 4Di Group
•Magatte Wade, 36, Senegalese, Founder, Adina World Beat Beverages & Tiossan
•Mike Macharia, 36, Kenyan, Founder & CEO, Seven Seas Technologies
•Vinny Lingham, 33, South African, Founder, Yola Inc
•Kamal Budhabatti, 36, Kenyan, CEO, Craft Silicon
•Yolanda Cuba, 35, South African, Executive Director, South African Breweries
•Jason Njoku, 31, Nigerian, Founder & CEO Iroko TV

Some have attributed their sudden and meteoric rise to financial prominence to their involvement in the town of Festac and its criminal activities. They have been reported to be the financers and supporters of the international scam industry. Are these individuals really the "GUY Men and Women" of 419?
