Incorrect data. There are more billionaires in dollars in lagos.

Likewise many other billionaires also in other parts of the country.

One can become billionaire within hours in africa.

Even some senior civil servants are billionaires in nigeria.

Konami94:

In dollars? Come man. Do you know how much $1b is? Even Ronaldo + Messi put together are not worth $1b

Threebear:

Don't sound dumb please ,a person who has a billion in Nigeria is a billionaire in Nigeria. It doesn't matter what he is translated to dollars, the main thing is that he is a billionaire here and should be addressed as such. We often here billionaire blogger Linda ikeji, why isn't she on this list?

Booyakasha:

saw your mail.. sup?

Evaberry:

...

sorry I don't mean to offend you but why didn't you reply if you saw it. no offence. I wanted your insights on some things

you're female right

juman:


Those are working to get money.

I mean instant money. Money through corruption.

Something like 2 + 2 = 100,000,000,000.

Konami94:

Even those that steal our money are not worth up to $1b. How much is Nigeria's budget that only 1 person would steal a billion dollars. Probably only during military rule like Abacha & IBB. The $2.1b arms deal money, was it not among the entire PDP politicians that the money was shared? It's not that easy for just 1 person to pack $1b, even as corrupt as our government is.

juman:


Politicians are not as rich as some "others".
Because politicians steal money and spend a lot also to be popular.

But senior civil servant does not spend any money to anybody.
Number two the jumbo business peoples, the politicians and other people that steal money invest those money in their businesses.

Bagehot:


I think they mean dollar billionaires.

bobogii2008:


Dollar billionaires o, not naira.

hedonistic:


Was the survey carried out by a Nigerian? Is the context national or international? Why are you so insistent on advertising your ITK stupidity?

Don't quote me again with your blatant and recalcitrant idiocy.

Ignoramus.

Abagworo:
Port Harcourt has several multimillionaires with zero billionaire. Anyone worth 700million Naira is a multimillionaire.

Konami94:

This is not a Nigerian list bro. So you want them to use our Naira to compare with people from South Africa or Egypt? In Nigeria, Linda might be addressed as a Billonaire (Which I believe it's wrong sef), however outside, Linda cannot be considered as such as she is not even worth up to $20m. Even dictionary meaning of Billonaire is $1b, otherwise, I could convert my Naira to some crappy currency like Zimbabwe and call myself a billionaire. People on this platform should be ready to learn and accept corrections, instead of arguing everything.

NwaAmaikpe:


Bloggers have misled us,

Where's Linda Ikeji?
Where's E-Money?
Where's HushPuppi?
Where's Davido?
Where's Oga Paulo?


Foolish bloggers think having a few flashy cars and a house on the Island makes you a billionaire.


Shame on bloggers!

Threebear:

Don't you see something wrong with this?
Someone is basing the number of billionaires in your country with their currency and you don't think it is wrong?
The last time I checked we used Naira as our currency, why should dollars be used as the unit of measurement in a country that uses Naira?
Did I hear you say a billionaire is someone who has billions in dollars?
Beg your village people to set you free.
So I take it someone who has billions in pounds, Euro etc in your estimation is not a billionaire.smh

Konami94:


What has village people got to do with this discussion? A person with a billion pounds or euros is obviously a billionaire, those two currencies are even stronger than the dollar. And how many times would they tell you this is an international list? Educate yourself bro. If you are not okay with the list, go and compile your own and rank them all as billionaires. As if other countries wouldn't also have more billionaires, going by your ridiculous argument.

Kizyte:
I'm disappointed, only 4 Billionaires in the whole of Lagos? When there are over 20 Billionaires in just Nnewi alone.

priceaction:
what have they benefitted us in the long run ( i mean the so called 4 billionaires)?
Dangote= monopoly
otedola= subsidy scam and alleged manipulations
Adenuga= robbing Peter to pay paul, poor network to rip us off
Alakija= that one? fashion parade.

remove oil business from them all, and see how they move fast towards bankrupt. Nigeria, as a whole, suppose to have thousands of billionaires, spread accross this nation, if to say, they fix major basic needs and infrastructures and encourage a level playing field for all. But here we are, someone will divert our oil billions, borrow money from banks without collaterals, and still be ranked successful billionaires and the likes? smh

Nigeria needs a level playing field for all, but here? transparency is a curse, so only a few rip us off.
