@ OP, networth is not only by the values of their shares. You didn't consider their cash, houses and many other personal assets as well as deducting their liabilities before you arrive at the true networth.

Let's forget about this tribal sentiment and promote our national success and individual achievements of our citizens

Here's a list of some well-known pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria along with information about their owners' tribes, where available:

1. **Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.**
- **Owner:** Dr. Stella Okoli
- **Tribe:** Igbo

2. **Fidson Healthcare Plc**
- **Owner:** Dr. Fidelis Ayebae
- **Tribe:** Ijaw

3. **May & Baker Nigeria Plc**
- **Owner:** Ownership is more corporate; it was originally a British company before becoming Nigerian-owned.

4. **Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals Plc**
- **Owner:** Dr. Emmanuel Ekunno
- **Tribe:** Igbo

5. **Orange Drugs Limited**
- **Owner:** Sir Tony Ezenna
- **Tribe:** Igbo

6. **Zolon Healthcare Limited**
- **Owner:** Ownership details not publicly available.

7. **GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Nigeria**
- **Owner:** Part of a global corporation; local ownership is more corporate.

8. **Juhel Nigeria Limited**
- **Owner:** Dr. Ifeanyi Okoye
- **Tribe:** Igbo

Don't mind them

Pharmaceuticals industry in Nigeira is one of the best in Africa because you produce malaria n paracetamol drugs ?! Have you gone mad or you are going mad ?!

chicfarmer:
Op this your list is very poor and a disservice to the great men and women irrespective of tribe who have worked hard to make the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria one of the best in Africa. But this is what happens when we allow tribalism to blind us. If I were you I would apologise and modify my post to reflect the enduring legacies and great opportunities still available in the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria.

The OP was not even ashamed to be mentioning how supposed multibillionaires own shares worth only millions. This is just another tribal-laced thread devoid of real fact.

Yorubas will always disgrace themselves.
You were challenged to list indigenous pharmaceutical companies and compute the tribe that dominates the list.... only for the onye iberibe to mention just 4 names and companies

No wonder Rochas coined the word "iberiberism"
I think it'll be aptly use here.

I used to know Peace Standard pharmaceutical industry and Tuyil pharmaceutical industry, both located at ilorin. They're quite big as well.

Where is Stella Okoli of Emzor pharmaceuticals?

Even Orange Drugs

mrvitalis:

Imagine the fuul listed rich people in the pharmaceutical industry didn't mention emzor

Fidson he mentioned because he thought he was Yoruba is Edo... Fidson by raw material from emzor

He didn't even mention juhel of all people

shame man, Naira is Zim dollar 2.0 if I were to visit Nigeria I'd be a billionaire too

Op where is the popular EMZOR?

The list is incomplete.

Smithkafors:
You guys are very confused and full of envy for no reason.

List the pharmaceuticals in Nigeria even the one in your state with the names of their owners.

The Pharmaceutical company in Nigeria is dominated by igbos. My village alone has two pharmaceutical companies solemnly owned by two people from my village. They didn’t go public.

Other tribes who also dominate in different sectors. Eg farming by northerners. but the people of the eastern Nigeria respect that fact.

Confused Tribalist parading everywhere.

List the Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria and you are here listening just 4 companies.

If e sure for una, list the companies in Nigeria with their owners.

Confuse people.

Oya yes, The Igbo tribe is the best tribe in the world. Without them Nigeria is nothing. Without them, the country will collapse.

Other tribes no reach for where Igbos dey.

What next bro?

The problem we have in Africa is that we like to show that we are better than others. It's why South Africans are Xenophobic towards other Africans because they believe they are better than others.

The funniest thing about this "We are better than you" thing is that when you do it, the other tribes, if they are smart, buckle up.

Look at the movie industry, once dominated by Igbos, today, the tides are changing.

If your tribe is the best thing after bread and beans, keep it to yourself, no dey insult people and their tribes.

Nigerians and their constant ethnic bickering.

So, how come Emzor is not among them? BTW, what metrics did you use to ascertain that those are the biggest pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria?

Even mrvitalis and Gidgiddy are wrong because I am sure they cannot prove that Igbos own 70% of pharma companies in Nigeria.

Nevertheless, nothing surprising to read here. Nigerians are not intelligent people.

Kindly provide source of your data or indicate which annual reports you got the shareholding numbers from.
