I think anytime someone types billionaire, Nairaland should automatically change it to Millionaire or multimillionaire.
A billionaire is someone who has a billion british pounds and above in assets.
Even Emoney is brandished about as a billionaire.
Millions, billions and trillions are English words and when you say someone is a billionaire then his net assets must be in billion pounds.
So with this billionaire logic, If I migrate to Zimbabwe or Ghana I should be called a billionaire then

I think we should have our own metric tho as to who is a billionaire

One with a billion naira in Nigeria can be called a Nigerian Billionaire
our cureecny bad, but it is not totally condemned

But the thing is
Many of these men do not even reach that threshold

E Money for example

No, Nigerian Billionaire just like Icelandic Billionaires, French Billionaire, Russian Billionaire and all that; have their assets measured in British pounds.
Reason Dangote and Alakija are called billionaires. It is an insult to call Dangote a billionaire and call Emoney a billionaire.
The only way to do what you suggest is to use a nigerian local language (Onye Nderi Naira in Igbo for example meaning a millionaire in Naira, Ogu Nderi Naira meaning a billionaire in Naira) NOT English billions.
Even Linda Ikeji and Seun are dubbed Billionaires. Na wa.

What is the limit of context if am a foreigner reading this article or if a US billionaire is reading this article? It is not mutually exclusive.

Your logic tho �
A Nigerian businessman who the naira mostly for his business transaction should be tagged as a billionaire if he hits a billion naira or more not in other currencies.

So if you go to Zimbabwe and your money there hit billions then you can also be a billionaire in that country

Dude is actually a billionaire tho...the last check by those in the know claims he’s even richer that Igbinadion and probably the richest man in the state:

But telling them to keep traditions and expunge the juju is like telling Buhari to go climb mountain Everest with bathroom slippers, African monarchs cannot do without jazz, they believe and practice it, but my questions to them is why not use the jazz to stop bokoharam, poverty, robbers, kidnapping, unemployment, and all manner of rubbish that has held the African continent on the floor, even with all the jazz, Africa is still backward grin

Captain Hosa is a billionaire in pounds and dollars.
Not all billionaires are listed by forbes.

Are you talking about foreign trade or what?

Foreign trade is mostly conducted in dollars...Forbes ranking is almost always in dollars and yet with what you said earlier, someone who’s worth a billion dollars can’t be seen as a billionaire cos he wouldn’t be rich in billions say in pounds or euros

Who’s lame?
