I don't care how many people are rich, richer or richest if they don't touch the life of the needy. The rich people I know are the ones who love me because they have given me something that money cannot buy.

Hustle hard so that your name can be on that list and stop spewing trash from that dustbin you call mouth. If this African mentality of expecting something from the rich is still in your brain, then i you and your children. No man can get rich if you are expecting from the rich. If Bill Gates and the likes are thinking like you, they will never get to where they are today. Work your ass up brother so that your children won't suffer they way u did. If you don't wanna hustle, try playing bet9ja maybe your luck can shine someday. My one cent advice.

if you notice almost all of them made their money from politics..these are the real looters of nigeria

I can't remember any member of the Folawiyo family ever holding a public office. Correct me if I am wrong though.

Dangote as an individual is not rich, wat made him d richest black man is the assets around him nd most of dem re owned by pple. Aliko Dangote is only a representative and d owner.

So there's no rich man from Igbo land?

myners007:
The list without the Ibru Family is not complete . Sheraton Hotel, Guardian Newspaper, Oceanic Bank (Eco Bank) Private University and a host of other investments both at home and abroad.

Oceanic bank is dead and Ibru family don't own controlling stakes in Ecobank.

maybe you didnt see the word almost.

What about Ojukwu family?

frankwealth:
Those saying there are no Igbo family on the list, you ought not to be surprised, ask me why

After the 1967 - 1969 Nigeria-Biafra civil war, Igbos lost a lot; Odimegwu Ojukwu's father was the richest man in West Africa as at then, Nwafor Orizu too followed closely but after the civil war, Igbos lost their properties in Lagos, Portharcourt, Kano, Kaduna, etc. Aside properties, Igbos also lost millions if not billions kept in Nigerian banks as they were handed 10 pounds or so no matter how much millions the Igbo person had in his or her bank account before the war started.

Now after the war, all Igbo top military officers were retired compulsorily, all top government officials and civil servants sacked. Igbos had to start life from the scratch starting from 1970.

It didn't stop there.

The successive military governments after the war made sure Igbos were not appointed to key positions, especially those concerning security, and it was at this time most rich Nigerian families you hear of today started amassing wealth through dinning with the military heads of states and governors who were dashing them crude oil blocs, giving them government contracts without monitoring, giving them import waivers, trade advantages and all sort of trade and business favors including FOREX waivers which is one of the things that made Aliko Dangote the richest man in Africa he is today.

If you observe all the current Nigerian millionaires and billionaires today, 95% of them got their wealth through crude oil related deal and through government favor. And Igbos were not favoured by Nigerian government after the end of the civil war, so don't be surprised.

Majority of rich Igbos you hear or see made it through sheer hardwork without any federal government favour, only very few like the Uba family, etc got favor from OBJ.

But with time, I see Igbos flying above odds by making their wealth through technology, trade, sports, entertainment and ICT, this will be followed closely by the Yorubas who are doing exceedingly well in terms of technology.

In a saner nation, majority of these people ought to be serving jail term for looting the Nigerian nation to enrich their family pockets.

Today, former South Korean president who happened to be the daughter of late South Korean military dictator was sentenced to 25yrs in jail. S. Koreans protested until she resigned on alleged corruption allegation and now she has been convicted and jailed despite being the president and daughter of a powerful leader.

Former Brazilian president too is on trial to be convicted soonest....all because of suspected corruption allegation against him.

Hungary is doing same...so many other progressive nations, even South Africa recently did same and their president had to resign to give way for proper prosecution. It is a thing of shame for Nigeria and all Nigerians.

These are countries that want to progress.

If Nigerians were united, people like OBJ, Goodluck Jonathan ought to be in jail, and Buhari ought to have resigned and facing a very serious corruption and crime charges, but hell no, Nigerians celebrate criminals and still hope to get a better nation soon, how

how will we be united when you keep bringing Igbo's, Hausa and all other ethnic sentiments. Make your point without all those. As for me, seeing that list makes me ashamed, most of those so called families up there have looted the hell out of Nigeria. How can we hope to develop when those few hold on to the resources of hundreds of millions of Nigerians. No wonder it was once reported that over 90% of the wealth in this country is concentrated in the hands of less than 2% of our population. Imagine that. We have failed as a people as we continue to pride materialism over the welfare of our fellow man. It is that materialistic attitude that would make people celebrate a man who has looted the common wealth, they would even defend him as if he was their god. That was why I floated a WhatsApp group for anyone who feels he has an idea of moving this country forwards. Let's forget about ethnic sentiments, if a person that is from my ethnic group loots, na all of us go suffer the consequence. I wonder why the mods deleted the group info which I posted.

datola:
The Op tried but should have done more researches before going to press.

Where is Ibru family? They arguably own the most successful business empire in Nigeria spanning decades- Michael Olorogun, Felix, Alex etc- Sheraton, Federal Palace Hotels, The Guardian, Oceanic Bank, etc.

Adebutu nko, aka Baba Ijebu. Otunba Subomi Balogun of FCMB?

You mean also Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola are not qualified as one of the richest families?

Dangote family is a descendant of the Dantata family now.

Op doesn't have sense at all. People who stole our common wealth are in ur top rich list?

Heywhizzy:
Otedola n Dangote no get family?


How is the Ibru family missing?

Dangote is a descendant of the Dantata family which is #1

Coldfeets:

By d way, on d average, igbos are richer. That is why you won't see any igbo begger soon.

They would rather steal than begging. All na business. By the way, I meet an Igbo beggar last week, I was shocked at the same time was like may be they have started thinking it through not to involve in crime hence the begging. I got to check well to be sure nothing was missing on me after the incident.
