Richest in what sense? The question you should ask yourself first is

1. How are they owing the banks.
2. Can stand on their own without loans?
3. How have they been able to impact lives with their wealth. How many charity homes have they been able to build, how many people have they provided for apart from their families?

We should emulate people lwho have been able to build schools and various means of livelihood with their hard earned money.

example like Chief Rochas who has a foundation and also has a school. He sponsors children to overseas schools meanwhile his children are schooling right here in Nigeria.

So if we are talking about rich men in Nigeria we can only mention a few and not the likes of Dangote and the rest.

Look at Bill Gates he is using his money for charitable organizations. He visits different countries and including our own Nigeria where he has a computer institute.

This list is invalid, where is Otunba Olumide Odebode. U beta revert this names or, Be careful the names u release, seems u r not current? thuogh u said its ur own list, wen den? add my name my frnd!

The truth is that these people we always think are very rich have so much burden of loan on them and by the time you deduct their loan from their worth, the value is greatly reduced.

hmmm!think i should analyse some things ere.
well,if u thinking this ppes are borrowing with the names better have a rethink cos they use their companies to collect the loans and the companies are limited liabilities geddit!so collapse of the companies is not gonna affect their pockets hmm.
i do agree dat this guy is just been hilarious.but i do have asuggestion about a truly rich guy with no stains;
his name is Oba Otudeko.think that is not his full name but so far i have not heard any scandals to his name.
and if u have anything which i doubt pls post it ere.and be sure of ur info.

look ma pple, am rich too and my account is almost in the red

_{check the authentic list and see my name}[color=#990000][/color]

the guy was trying to gather info and you people are rubbishing his post,somebody has to think about an issue for othersto contribute afterall he ahs promised us top 100, let s wait and see wheterh he will fomble or not,
dont forget,you fonble if you fail to mention Bros Wale babalakin of Stabilini visioni and other young firends.

why is Mike Adenuga not in ur list?

pterygott:

why is Mike Adenuga not in your list?

Exactly what i was thinking as well

@poster
well i guess u made your post here so that we Nairaland users can criticise u abi? so don't feel bad.

meanwhile is your list in any particular order of wealth? say from richest to,  or are dy just rich people?

wat abt u, which level do u fall. all u do is to sit down and count those that has already make it. i don't see any promising future for u.

my name suppose dey there now?

What criteria are you guys using? cos am lost, there are so many rich nigerians, we need to look at there assets before we call them rich cos most of them are borrowers. So back to the drawing baord.

I think is high time,people know that this forum is for highly enlighten people,and thus should always cross check the information they post in order not to deceive the few that may not be aware of the misleading information,for the fact that an individual is the chairman of a Bank does not ,make them amongst the richest men in Nigeria.And if you need any information,or you have any you can always confide in the house to help you out,for me i think that is more matured.

rubbish

All I need to know is how you drew your conclusions
Peace!

i am surprised that u guys are discusing this, What saddens my heart is the level of poverty in nigeria despite the oil the nation is blessed with.
