There’s something called giving back.

Nigeria boast of having some of African richest men and women.
Richest African man is a Nigerian
Richest African woman is a Nigerian

We know of foreign billionaires, they provide funds for scholarships that even Africans students benefit from. They even dash start ups in Nigeria money

Please I need to be enlightened, is dangote doing anything for his immediate community

What has Folorunsho Alakija done for her immediate community?

I may be wrong, but is there any fully funded scholarship from any of these people

Billionaires in US donate a lot to charity and community development.

Some schools have been renamed after philanthropists in the US. They give out funds as much as 100million dollars and even far more

If our billionaires can give out just 1 million dollars to sponsor some community project, Nigeria would have been a better place

Some projects could be;

1. Elderly homes
2. Free health care facilities
3. Funding start ups
4. Scholarships for students

Please in what ways are our billionaires giving back to the community?

Any idea??

Not audio donations but real life projects that you and I can benefit from

Sometimes, I keep laughing online when I see people who borrowed data only to come and boast online that my tribes people are all on forces list and your tribes people are not.

Such unemployed people will still go to bed hungry and buy paracetamol to give to their parents who needs adequate health care by qualified doctors.

I cry for the youths of this contraption.

More billions from your empty pockets into their oversized wallets..

Noting.

They're all security conscious because of village people

To renovate some school hostels won’t take up to one millionaire to do.

But Nigerian students live in hostels looking like krirkiri cells, deteriorated facilities, disgusting toilets and bed bug beds

Yet some billionaires pass through this schools

Are Africans just self centered and wicked!
Yet na we go church and mosque pass

It’s so bad bro.

I watched Jagun Jagun and I loved the ending. This people turned us against ourselves to fight and they live in billions

I am not yet a billionaire, but from the little I have, I know what I do in my immediate community.
Early this year, I sponsored 5 people to learn a new skill. Just five people within my capacity and circle. Three of them have gotten certified already and one has gotten a new job with it.

There are many things 1 million dollars can do for a community. I tell you that Americans donate as high as 100 million dollars to charity. These money goes to elderly homes, schools and scholarships that even Nigerians benefit from

But it’s so sad. The PTDF scholarship, you will still see children of billionaires taking it from the poor

The person supporting Obi is not your enemy, the person supporting Tinubu is not your enemy, the person supporting Atiku is not your enemy, your enemies are those who have sold the soul of your country and still oppress you in little means

The rich man went through alot of thinking and sacrifice to be where he is today.

There are stories the rich man won't tell you... To become rich is not an easy journey so you don't expect me to spray my wealth to the benefit of a certain poor persons... Just because they are "poor". Na me born them?

There’s a kind of money you will have that any additional money no longer matters.

If you get naira 50 million today, if you don’t spend wisely, it will finish fast


If they increase it to N500 million naira, it will still finish if not properly managed

If I give you 10 billion naira and you have investments generating you like 200 million naira net profit every year. It will take much more time and extreme carelessness to go back to nothing

Now imagine having 50 billion naira and lots of investments.
Your kids and family are all established for life.

Some people are worth trillions of naira in assets and investments all over the world. They are on auto run and can never ever taste poverty to their 4th generation. Tell me how giving will reck you?

When we talk of money, some of these guys are worth billions of dollars which is trillions of naira.

To do a community project in their village maybe an elderly care may not pass 100 million naira. Which is barely 150k dollars.
Or to sponsor like 5 brilliant people from their community every year to top schools in US and Canada may not pass 200k dollars. These are what whites do that even some of us benefited from here.

Life is beyond you alone, a little act of kindness will brighten your light in the universe. All the money you make won’t follow you to the grave, you will die and leave them behind. Let’s make the world a better place for one another. Aye o le

Oga in naija nobody get anybody time' it has been 2years i never call my rich uncle because u need to live ur life without people

The only Nigerian Billionaire I hold in high esteem is Tony Elumelu.

It's not about cutting cheques for victims of one disaster or the other. Or making oversized donations when invited to high class events and gatherings like Arthur Eze.

Elumelu is building future generations of tech-savvy entrepreneurs. His scholarship schemes are unmatched in our today's society.

Jobs, but a lazy Nigerian expects billionaires to be 'FATHER CHRISTMAS'. The same kind of mentality when your childhood friends, or school mates discover that you have made it big time. The next thing is a entitlement mentality. Same applies to family members especially extended family. They start to complain that you are not generous 'ENOUGH'..

Dangote refinery for example has been providing jobs since contraction. Just and example. But what the lazy once want 'DASH-DASH-DASH' 'FREE-FREE-FREE' everything.

Of course they are all into charity but the op is just being a typical Nigerian.

We billionaires don't like showing off.. That's our way of life.

That’s the problem why people are still suffering in Nigeria and Africa

Do you know how many Nigerians benefit from some scholarships donated by American billionaires.
Some people get full funded scholarship with monthly stipends to study in US universities. And from there get jobs that change their family story and taking a family out of poverty.
The universe is give and take. The phone you are using and the advancement you enjoy today is because some people worked hard to solve human problems.
We are not equally gifted. But there’s a reason you were born to a particular family, come from a particular place and region.
What’s the essence of having a billionaire from your village and nobody in the village can boast of one thing they benefit from the billionaire. It’s bad and terrible.
All these money won’t follow anybody outside this planet. Maximum you spend 100 years and depart, when you could have made at least few people smile

The wealth you have, knowledge or power should not be used for selfish reasons or yourself alone, help humanity. It won’t cost you too much.
The whites use their knowledge to bring innovations that we enjoy, they use their wealth for charity as well and we all run to them.
The only way dimensional poverty can be cured in Africa is everyone giving back no matter how little to lift one another.

Abi now. it's mindset of stinginess. And most things they use those money for are frivolities. I made an idea on Agricultural platform some days ago that. if a billionaire or millionaire buys like 1000 acres of land, give youth an acre per person and mandate them to plant any tree crop which he will be the one to give them seeds or seedlings and the management will be funded by the tenants, and after fruiting, the tenants takes 10 percent of the income and the owner of the land takes the rest. Some people came against me saying it's impossible. But I now realize they want us to be idolizing them that's why they prefer to spend those monies on frivolities.

Look at Sadio Mane’s project in his home town. He has done a lot. And he is not even as wealthy as this Nigerian billionaires.
He is using his talent to pay back to his community and place of birth. There’s a reason he was born in that place and not everyone can have the opportunity he has. His light will surely shine in the universe

Sadio mane is worth 30million dollars, dangote is worth about 10 billion dollars.
The project Sadio mane has done in his home town alone is more than what some governors have achieved in Nigeria

To sponsor some of these projects you mention won’t pinch this people. It is not hard. Just 500 k dollars yearly will go a long way in taking several people out of misery and empowering them.

People should check how American billionaires donate.
Some donate hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s a country where the cost of living is far higher than Nigeria.
Just 1 million dollars donation in Nigeria will shake ground.

During Corona, Jack Dorsey donated 28 percent of his wealth. there is a man called Chuck fenney, that donated all of his wealth when he was around 90s. He said his goal is to die poor.

John Paulson donated 100 million dollars to NYU

John Paulson is not as rich as dangote.

But here in Nigeria, we have billionaires that passed through schools like Unilag, OAU, ABU, UI and the hostels are in a pathetic states, deteriorated infrastructure.

Just 500k dollars will renovate these school hostels

Why do you have a government...?? nonsense

As long as I am okay, I don’t care of others
As long as I dey chop, nothing concern me with welfare of others
I can assure you, there’s no way you have these American billionaires and they will watch the schools they pass through suffocating of infrastructure or their place of birth with people suffering and living a very poor quality of life. Oyinbo fit donate his entire wealth to rebuild

Keep attacking me, I am not broke, but I can’t stand see people suffer around me.
I am not a billionaire but I know what I’d do if I become one.
It’s not everything you wait for government to do you for you. So because government did not do my road, and I have billions, I won’t renovate my road to standard and move on.
Or I’d wait for government to help beautify my streets?

Mane did not wait for his govenrment when he spent 500k pounds to build a standard health care facility in his village.

We are not even asking them to dash everyone money, go to your place of birth and do something tangible. Not donating money during terrorist attack or natural disasters

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride... you think nigeria is a sane country...

Careful, when you become one, don't think it is an easy ride in the park...you should ask why Winners was denied from constructing some road projects by a state government....you may want to construct road, but if your local govt chairman says no...na no...since they can't eat from it.

Life is more than that...

No be every person get good mind....

And who told you some of them are not doing that in their own capacity...is it until they announce it to the world?

It's an interesting take from the OP. However it's not always easy to criticise successful people, no matter how constructive it might appear; and most of the people in this category would be classed as Ultra successful. The argument then becomes if you know better then you should be doing better than them, in order to implement your ideas.

Take Nigeria for example, a significant number of our most prominent billionaires made their core wealth from the oil sector, particularly rent seeking and royalties from oil wells. They never diversified into other real sectors like manufacturing on a large scale, modern mechanised agriculture etc. That means a lot of them haven't even used the wealth gained to exponentially take the country's economy to a higher level.

Assuming that has been the case, there would be more jobs with decent wages for people to be gainfully employed, more money in circulation; thereby creating a more vibrant economy. This alone would have done a lot to empower the common people. However, it seems like they usually only care about managing their financial portfolios, buying shares in companies like Apple, Microsoft etc, stacking monies in shell companies in countries that serve as tax haven.

So, is it people that do all these and more in order to consolidate their wealth, without domiciling and reinvesting most the wealth gained from oil rentage and services back into the country, that would now think of Philanthropy. IMHO, I think to most of them that is an afterthought!
