Well, Don’t take this as tribal bias. I have nothing against any tribe. 1% bad people should not be used to judge the 99% good people even if the 1% are most influential. Back to the question.

It is difficult to say which tribe is the richest as they are all successful and there is no reliable statistical data to refer to. Also, the question of wealth is deeper than the capitalist billionaire-density image promoted by Forbes. Also, since only 3 tribes (Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba) carry most of the Nigerian population, they easily dwarf other wealthy ethnicities. Let’s examine them to get a better understanding of their wealth.

YORUBA: Many dollar billionaires have been produced by the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria with Dangote (a Hausa man) credited as the richest of them all. However, when looking at the overall population, Yorubas seem to have more wealthy people (in the Western sense) than other tribes. This is especially due to the academic successes, political gains, and strategic trading advantage (Lagos is Yorubaland) that they enjoy.

Three of the five richest Nigerians are Yorubas and so is the richest black woman in the world. Wole Soyinka, the Nobel prize winner and founding father of Nigeria’s first youth secret cult (I bet you didn’t know that), Ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, the political godfather, celebrities like Wizkid: Africa’s biggest music act, Davido, Olamide; internationally recognized figures like Afe Babalola and many others are all Yorubas. Their notable business creations include Conoil, Globacom, Bet9ja, etc. all of which have tremendously transformed the business and economic landscape of Nigeria. Lagos, a Yoruba state (although with a more diluted populace) has the highest density of wealth in Nigeria and that was even before it became an oil producing state! Yorubas lead the pack in academic prowess (no other comes close) and trail the Hausas in political dominance. All these point to the amount of wealth they control.
