Dear @TadyesSol,

Thank you for your feedback. In direct answer to your question, I get a lot of my history from official Hansards of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, where I worked from 2002 to 2003, and still have access to. I do not talk or write without the strong backing of documentary evidence.

Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was a wealthy man. However, he was neither a billionaire nor, at any point in time, the wealthiest man in Nigeria.

For example, Sanusi Dantata, the son of Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, was acknowledged by Time Magazine as the wealthiest person in Nigeria by 1965. You may want to read it here by yourself content.time.com/time/subscribe…

His father was also the wealthiest man in West Africa before he passed away.

Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was next. However, due to the Nigerian Civil War, he lost much of his wealth. But irrespective of the war, he was not the wealthiest man in Nigeria.

Having a Rolls Royce neither makes you a billionaire or the wealthiest person in Nigeria. Many rich people then and now do not indulge in such ostentatious lifestyles.

For example, the Time Magazine article, which I gave you the link to, also mentions Mobolaji Bank Anthony as one of the wealthiest men in Nigeria as of 1965. Yet, despite having such stupendous wealth, Mr. Bank Anthony did not buy himself a Rolls Royce. What he did with his money was to build a series of free hospitals, which he donated to the Lagos government, including the Ikeja General Hospital, and the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi.

You may be confusing loud ostentatiousness for wealth.

Eight persons were mentioned as the wealthiest people in Nigeria by Time in 1965. They include:

Sanusi Dantata, 46
Odumegwu Ojukwu, 66
Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, 59
Emmanuel Akwiwu, 43
Shafi Lawal Edu, 54
Timothy Adeola Odutola, 63
Ade Tuyo, 63
Bayo Braithwaite, 36

Of the eight, five were from the Lagos-Ogun axis. One was from Kano. One from Port Harcourt, and one from Nnewi.

I hope this helps you understand history better.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Someone who is not even a hundrednaire is now an expert in billionaire topics. This Reno is truly an Ahitophel incarnate

For exposing your audio Billionaire?

Same way he has been exposing your Pandora fraud aka Gbajue

Reno is here to bury your Yes Daddy political ambition before 2027

Reno is chasing shadows. When you choose to monetize your account on social media, your reason for being on the platforms changes. It's no longer about connection and providing information, it's about "Let me see how many clicks I can get so I can get paid". I wonder if his conscience still exists.

Heeboes don buy market frm Reno

Pride is not good…I marvel at what they benefit from it! I see no use in heaping hatred or dislike on yourself.
