Dangote is currently ranked 136th richest man in the world.

However the gap between Dangote's wealth and Rabiu's has now shrunk to $5.9 billion, compared to $8.5 billion as of January 2022.

Would it kill you if you stick to the topic and not engage in misplaced gloating! The region of the owners of those 2 by 2 shop owners, as you derisively term them, have a much better spread of wealth and are on average far more comfortable and have a much better HDI than those in the region of the gov’t-enabled billionaires you’re using to brag and belittle others!

Doesn’t it struck you as odd that arguably the two most accomplished ethnicities in Nigeria are not featured in the top two Forbes rated billionaires, yet those whose region is the headquarters of poverty in Nigeria….if not the entire planet, occupy the top two positions!?

Almaigaa:


They are already wailing all over the thread. One claimed that, Chinedu wey dey sell expired drugs for Onitsha rich pass Dangote.
