Igbos Make Up 40% Of The 20 Richest Persons In Nigeria by galeiiTNA: 1:25pm On Dec 14, 2016
20 Nigerian Billionaires + Richest People in Nigeria 2016

What is the secret to the success of the top 20+ richest people in Nigeria? Who are the Nigerian billionaires and how did they amass their wealth? What are the business success secrets of the successful entrepreneurs in Nigeria? What does it take to become a billionaire in Nigeria? If the answer to any of these questions interests you, then please read on.

Recently, i compiled a list of the world’s richest billionaire school drop outs and today, I will be compiling a list of Nigerian billionaires and top richest people in Nigeria but please this list will be restricted to entrepreneurs only. Politicians and individuals whose source of wealth cannot be traced are excluded from this list. Most people have asked why so few Nigerians made the Forbes list of richest people in the world.

Well the answer to that question is this: Forbes estimates the wealth of individuals and rank them based on the value of shares they have in quoted companies (companies listed on the stock exchange) and most of the richest people in Nigeria prefer to run their businesses privately. That’s why they don’t make the Forbes list of richest people in the world.

1. Alhaji Aliko Dangote – Dangote Group, (Manufacturing, oil & gas,)

The highlighted names are Yorubas and they are 8 against the 7 for Igbos.

Igbos are just too unnecessarily proud, and above all make too much noise.

1. Dangote's wealth surpasses the wealth of all other persons on that list combined.

2. Of the 20 names on the list, Igbo has 7 names which translates to 35% and not 40%.

3. Yorubas have 8 names on that same list, meaning 40% share which surpasses that of Igbos.

4. The remaining 5 names belong to Hausas (3) and Edo (2).

You Igbos need to change you ways seriously.
