Behold Nigeria’s silver spoons in the North!

Tunde Mark

Tunde Mark is the first son of Senate President, David Mark. He was named after his father’s long-standing friend, Senator Tunde Ogbeha. He is in his 30s. Tee Mark, as he is fondly called, currently oversees his father’s business interests. Though very much on the reserved side, he is one of the most talked about silver spoon kids in Abuja.

Abubakar And Mohammed Idris

These are two of the eldest sons of Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris. Abubakar, who is the older of the two, is based in Lokoja, the state capital. He is also into the same field of business his father was known for before he became governor, which is mining. Mohammed, on his part, is the managing director of Ibro Hotel, Abuja, one of his dad’s well-known investments. Under Mohammed, Ibro Hotel has become one of the places guests are sure of comfort and safety. Both brothers, however, share one thing in common – they are split images of their father.

Aminu Atiku Abubakar

When Aminu Atiku Abubakar, son of the immediate past Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, wedded Rakeeya in Yola and Abuja recently, it was a carnival-like event. Aminu is the younger version of his father, walks and talks like him. But time will tell if his pretty wife would have juniors, that is, children that would have striking resemblance of their dad. Always in the background, this doesn’t diminish his influence among his peers. Amniu is mostly based in the Federal Capital Territory, where he does his business and administers some of his dad’s companies. He is said to have passion for automobiles.

Musa Mantu

The ladies can’t get enough of him. The handsome son of Senator Ibrahim Mantu is undoubtedly the most well-known of the former number two man in the Senate. Musa is often mistaken for a Nollywood actor, courtesy of his dressing and carriage. He is hardly seen in northern attires, instead he prefers urbane outlook.

Gagarin Madaki

He is the only son of the late Col. Yohanna Madaki (rtd). Despite being born with the proverbial silver spoon, Gagarin has carved a niche for himself as a top businessman. He and his highly revered father had a close bond before his demise. The younger Madaki shuttles between Kaduna and Abuja, quietly going about his business. He is a guy with exquisite taste, though.

Laolu Saraki

He is the younger of the Saraki sons. Though still not officially into politics, Laolu, according to insiders, was part of the team that toured the country with President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. This might have led to talks, though largely unconfirmed, that Laolu maybe taking a plunge into politics like his elder siblings, Senator Gbemi Saraki and Dr. Bukola Saraki, governor of Kwara State. Still single, his choice of a life partner has been that of endless speculation. However, whoever he picks as wife will surely be the envy of many women, as he is known for pampering his women.

Sherrif Shagaya

Sherrif Shagaya is the son of Hajia Bola Shagaya, believed to be one of the richest businesswomen in Nigeria. With investment in real estate, banking and photography, not a few observers expressed surprise when Sherrif alongside Aminu Babangida set up a petroleum marketing company. One of Shagaya’s sons (not Sherrif) was once said to have told a friend that to see a true five star hotel one would have to travel out of the country. This, in a nutshell, shows the level of sophistication of the Shagayas. They certainly are no local champions.

Adegbe Ogbe

This guy, who co-owns communications outfit, One Number, has been described as the most stylish in the capital city. A lawyer by training, his choice of suits fit his macho frame.

The Madaki Alis

Chief Garba Madaki-Ali, former minister of Works and Housing under the Obasanjo administration, has the following kids, namely: Sese, Lilly and Junior, who are a rallying point among northern silver spoon kids. Though from Kaduna State, they have an urbane outlook, having schooled in Ivy League, American universities. Lilly got wedded in a classy ceremony to another silver spoon like herself, Major Abayomi, whose dad owns GODAB, one of the leading construction firms in Abuja. The Madaki-Ali girls are trendy, well-spoken, and also known to be down-to-earth.

Fatima Hassan (nee Kingibe)

Fatima Hassan is the pretty daughter of the Secretary to the Federal Government, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe. Fatima got remarried to Hon. Shehu Hassan after being a single mother for sometime. A former staff of the Bureau for Public Enterprises, Fatima has taken time to raise her family.

Murtala Yar’Adua

The scion of the Yar’Adua family, Murtala is the son of the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua. A member of the board of Bank PHB, the president’s nephew has business interest in different sectors of the economy.

The Abachas

The late head of state was blessed with a large family. The Abacha children are mostly grown ups. They have impeccable taste for jewellery, cars and designer wears. The most popular of the former head of state’s children include Mohammed, Zainab, Gumsu, Rekiya, and Mahmood. Though they sometimes visit Abuja, Kano is the base of the Abachas. There, they live with their mother, Mariam.

Ahmed Maitama Sule

Ahmed Maitama Sule is the debonair son of celebrated elder statesman, Ambassador Maitama Sule. He is a chip off the old block. Though not a diplomat like his father, Ahmed is well-read and an orator like his father.

Taju Dantata

Taju Dantata runs one of the many companies in the vast Dantata dynasty. He is said to be a shrewd businessman.

Tabitha Kwajafa

Kwajafa and Nuhu, her brother, are the children of former boss of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Fulani Kwajafa. Nuhu has busied himself for over a year now with feeding the less privileged in the society. Tabitha, on her part, runs Amen 2, a stylish boutique for the wealthy. The quality of items at Amen 2 is never in doubt. No wonder the store has remained on top for many years in the capital city.

Mohammed Audu

He is the son of former Kogi State Governor, Prince Abubakar Audu. Mohammed is the brain behind the luxury Mediterranean Hotel in Asokoro. He was once married. Most people who do not understand Mohammed say he works with a chip on his shoulders. However, close friends are quick to point out that he is a nice guy, who likes to take his time in making friends.

Joshua Gana

The eldest son of Professor Jerry Gana, Joey, as his friends fondly call him, is a graduate of the University of Abuja and one of the prominent northern silver spoon kids. The younger Gana’s company won one of the four licences given by the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) for power distribution. A staunch Christian like his dad, he is humble, with a charming personality.

Anwal Tukur

The one-time member of the House of Representatives, Anwal Turkur, is the son of the chairman of African Business Roundtable. The younger Tukur, like his highly accomplished father, is a businessman. Blessed with good looks, Anwal lost out in the power play in the aviation sector, where he was appointed director general of one of the parastatals and later dropped. He is still very much into politics. Time will tell if he would again run for elective office.

George Shekarau

George is the oldest son of the late deputy governor of Kaduna State, Stephen Shekarau. He is highly rated in Kaduna, as he is one of the guys who make Kaduna tick.

The Babangidas

Probably the most well-known of the silver spoons in the country, Aisha, Mohammed, Aminu are full-fledged celebrities. Mohammed’s and Aisha’s weddings, despite taking place years back, is still the talk of the town. Mohammed is better known for his excellent polo skills, and is believed to be a +4 handicap player. For Aminu, he runs Abuja-based Phoenix Oil with Sheriff, Bola Shagaya’s son.

Mabruka Mai Deribe

She is the daughter of the stupendously rich Mai Deribe. A fashion designer for the upper class, her cute body has won her many admirers. She is still single and in a recent interview she said her ideal man must possess her late billionaire father’s qualities.

Abacha Mai Deribe

Another of the late Mai Deribe’s kids, Abacha is cerebral and has chosen to lecture at the University of Maiduguri after obtaining his PhD. His love for sharing, Daily Independent was told, lured him into the Ivory Tower.

Jubril Indimi

Jubril Indimi is the heir to his father’s fortune estimated at billions of naira. His younger sister is married to Mohammed Babangida. The Borno-born silver spoon is blessed with a handsome face many ladies would like to have for keeps.

The Abdusalami Abubakars

Though very much on the quiet side, former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar’s children are known for their brilliant and self-effacing nature. They have few friends and are not too much into partying. This, however, doesn’t mean they are not in the league of celebrated silver spoon kids.

Hmmmm. . . .
Waiting for the silver spoons of the South and East. . .

How about the Mutallabs?
Why are most of the hausas rich?

Those silver bomb northerners are not up to 1% of the entire Northern population that is dying in penury. The list is largely made of crooked rich people from the north  except for the select few like the Dantatas and Jerry Ganas.

Lmfao I thought I was a playboy, those niggus surpassed me. Sheriff is running tings and mantus running babes. cool people tho.

The north's silver spooners are SMALL as hell in number compared to the SOUTH. lmfao

no country without silver spoons unless the country doesnt exist.

tpia.:

MrCrackles:

Jerry Gana was not disposed to cash like that as the communication minister. I am sure his children made the money they are spending through association or whatnot. Why didn't they list the Gwarzos, Usenis, Chanchangis[although he has over 50 children], Kabos etc.

MrCrackles:

   

You don't know that tpia is dyslexic. Tell me if there is anyone here who claims there are countries with no silver spoon families?. She called you a coward

Musa Mantu --- heard of him

platinumnk:

Musa Mantu --- heard of him

Did he hit on you and you refused him?

I dont even know why someone made the list of northern silvers spooners, the souths own is what matters.
but oh well is doesnt really matter because the elite of Nigeria( mostly sw,ss,se,) are taking all of South Nigeria for a ride.

Being or meeting elites is an eye opener for any tribalist or regionalist opc, mend, massob. One you chill with them you will forget about being an igbo, yoruba or ijaw- you will just see MONEY.

TPIA get fuc.king lost and dont derail the thread. . . . .
Oxymoron

reported.


I should do the same for crackers but let me wait and catch him elsewhere.

Report what?

Shameful list. How many of them can genuinely prove that the source of their wealth is not dishonourable. Barawo people.

Very very true. Major difference- Hausa man will steal money and start spending it senselessly. Southerner would set up a bank with the stolen, and use that bank to launder more stolen money. Voila, one of the largest banks in Africa. The southerner would now get his family membersand co-southerners to buy stocks in his bank blowing up quoted stock prices of the bank.

Hence why I stopped studying economics in University, economics is not applicable in Africa.

Another truth. I have met so many rich people from ijaw that i stopped supporting MEND a long tym ago.

That is a lie. Chanchangi, Dantata, Kabo etc are business moguls who made their money without touching a kobo from the national coffers.

That is what you think. But that is not what my post meant anyways.

Are you sure it is not your brain cells that are not capable of coping with the demands and rigours of economics

Are you sure it is not your brain cells that are not capable of coping with the demands and rigours of economics

you must be joking- economics is a relatively easy subject compared to what i finally majored in. Moreover, I am a few steps away from actually have an economics degree. I just felt econ really had no relation to business or anything and was too theoretical for my liking.

Nothing is too big for sefago's head, even quantum physics

U can claim anything on the internet

Why are all these Northerners supposedly born with a handsome face? This sounds like somthing from city people

Let me get rich too so I would have a face to die for

Sad how peoeple just resort to insults without investigations. A lot of these kids have worked thier asses off to be who they are. We are family friends with a few of them and believe me, a lot of the fathers who are seen as rich are not all curropt. For example, all my father did was educate us to B.Sc level, if you wanted a masters u had to get that on your own level, after that you were on your own no allowance, no favors, you look for jobs on your own, make your own money and buy your own car. I cant speak for all but i can speak for the kwajafas, Nuhu at present does not even have a car, two years ago, we needed money to pay for a boys surgery who would have died in 24 hrs if he did not get surgery, we could not raise the money and Nuhu had to sell his car then to raise the money. His Sister had to toil and sweat and save to start her boutique. Same thing with Maburukka Deribe I know the sacrifices she had to make.
Yes , Its a website we xcan insult and insult but do a bit of research, dont just lump and insult because you feel the people cannot be rich thru thier own hard work

Roflmao!!!!!

na the memory of drinking garri and bathing in the local stream dey worry most of us here.
