Op, Dangote is not the richest man in Nigeria. Why he is rated the richest is because he has not had any access to government's money by holding any public office. Dangote is not richer than IBB, T.Y Danjuma or Abacha family.

Just like Putin, the President of Russia, is not counted as a rich man in the world because he's a president. Bill Gate is not richer than Putin, incase you don't know.

Thanks for this info

Isiaku Rabiu also,Isiaku Rabiu is into oil and gas and other businesses and stupendously rich,now in his 90's and his son is one of the richest men in Nigeria today. Isiaku has many trucks also for haulage,there was a time he built about 57 duplexes with furniture's,and everything and started renting to people but people started complaining and packing out because they were hearing strange sounds of ghosts and babies crying in the midnight and Isiaku Rabiu was accused of being a ritualist. the estate is still in the north with nobody living in any of the mansions

Yes, na so we hear too. The estate is located opposite Dakata Police Station. Dem still seems empty even after all the renovations

Harry Akande who fell off by entering politics,they just collected all his money and he was almost crying in 2003 and that's why Dangote doesn't want to go into politics,Nigeria is not America where Donald Trump's massive wealth remains intact even after becoming president,Harry Akande's son is now married to Dakore Egbuson,Harry Akande used to supply 24/7 electricity to the whole District his mother's mansion he built for her is in Ibadan.
His excellency Oluwo Deinde Fernandez,he used to water his farm with helicopters,he was also a grandmaster of Ogboni confraternity till his death,he had yacht,island in USA and was involved in one of the biggest divorce settlement ever in UK.
MKO Abiola in the 90's,MKO was ruined by politics,Abacha destroyed his wealth and made sure he turn him to a poor man before he dies.

Fernandez never help any of of his siblings he died in the mist of strangers I pity him no of his real families attended his burial

NeeKlaus:
Who is the Richest man in Nigeria now??
Please, don't tell me Dangote.


We know that's not true.

I can tell you with my mouth wide open that aliko is not the richest man right now.. People seem to confuse richest with famous. Dangote is rich and famous but believe me when i say the richest man in Nigeria right now is not famous

Nova01:
Oluwo Deinde Fernandez .... just google his name

Hmmmmmmm

The DAROCHA familyThe DAROCHA familyThe DAROCHA family

In 1990's it was Dantata.

Michael Ibru

Mike Adenuga was. However Dangote re-strategized and moved his business to the next level thus overtaking Mike! and the gap is now almost unassailable.

Otunba Michael Adenuga was clearly the richest man in Nigeria before Dangote emerged to take the position. In 2001, apart from single handedly owning two banks and the largest indigenous oil producing company in the country, he single handedly raised $300 million to pay for his GSM license. This was the same time to took 27 banks, 3 state governments and a number of other Nigerian millionaires to raise $285 million for econet to pay for their on license.

Late Chief MKO Abiola

Dangote is just an errand boy to the Super rich in Nigeria, he might officially be the richest but he isn't even in the first 30

neonly:





Fernandez never help any of of his siblings he died in the mist of strangers I pity him no of his real families attended his burial

and his lesbian daughter Bim disgraced him which is probably one of the factors that got him depressed and led him to his grave

Fajemirokun ..first dealer in caterpillar
