Love from Miami

There is money in Africa, it is not just wars and bombs.
Buh alakija is worth more than that now. Is this of a la mode?
Ok so 10% of the 50 richest africans are from a particular tribe in Nigeria *wink*! Not even ONE person from our NOISY - LOUSY brothers is on the list. BTW "Jim Ovia na Niger Delta Pikin" before una go claim am now *Tongue out*!!! Awon smellos "claiming importer exporter" Na to cheat people them sabi, with their fake fake products. Hian
Saw DJ Xclusive's mom on the list. Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. The woman is even richer than Oprah Winfrey.
A little something called "Oil blocks"..................a greasy black substance named crude oil is extracted from the wells and sold in the international market, in dollars......The commodity is in extreme demand world wide.................Mrs Aljakija happens to own some of the most profitable "oil blocks" in Nigeria..she makes Billions of naira every month from them...Hope that answers your question??? Thank me later.
Who tha f**k are u?????? LMAO!!!!
@Bobo_Edo
Dangote is not worth 20b its 20million. Luk at it well. Linda made a mistake in d headline
folorunsho alakija isnt dj exclusive's mum, NAIJA PEOPLE don start again , she has 4 sons , but not ur dj
whatz is the meaning of this rating....to be candid is not relevant to africa development except intimidation...
mans worth is not money is by positive contribution to humanity...stop this crab...linda
1. Aliko Dangote
2. Mike Adenuga
3. Folurunsho Alakija
4. Jim Ovia
5. Oba Otudeko
6. Hakeem Belo-Osagie
7. Femi Otedola
8. Tunde Folawiyo
That's it....
So that bloody impostor by name JIMOH IBRAHIM no dey among them....
I thought Jimoh claims he is worth $800 million and so richer than Otudeko, Belo-Osagie, Otedola and Folawiyo....
Fucked-up ITK undertaker!!!!!
Shiooooorrrrr!!!!
The "M" stands for 6 zeros..which will give you $20,800,000,000..thats $20 billion dollars
Motsepe from south africa gave away half his wealth to charity! That's one billion US dollars, wish 9ja had billionaire's like him o
Great,when i read their success stories and know any determined person can possibly get there
How can Bello Osagie be richer than Otedola...??
we have others richer than dangote like CHARLES INEGBE ATAGHOMA
When will my name enter this list? OH GOD OF ELIJAH , ARISE AND ANSWER ME

People don't Wait and Winners doesn't Quit.. I will be in the list next year By GOD Grace.. Amen.
when Forbes go count us, Africa's poorest?
Dangote is a front for some wealthy past Nigerian leaders.You think with all the jealousy and backstabbing in the Nigerian business scene one man can rise so high to the top? Look at the recent oil refinery deal and the monopoly and continuous expansion of Dangote group products, while our state owned industries continue to go the other way.
where are the igbo men?
@anon 11:52 pm and like minds. Igbos will be among the richest when one of them becomes the president just like done to ur lazy brodas, and by then it will worth it cos by ourselves we hv already accomplish what ur retarded brain cannot imagine, let alone when backed by looting govts, and monopolised economy. Yes, they're nt there cos unlike u, they don't run the country down, they rather build. And u can go and find out, average igbo man is well off than an average yoruba man. That's wat they call wealth. Not bunch of lazy thieves who brag abt money that they stole frm us. If an igbo man had wat was given these lazy thieves u call rich men, he'd be the richest man in the world.

Will make this list b4 I exit this life. Dangote bigger u. too much gab like the Usain Bolt of Jamaica.
Ife na eme is that these people are merely fronts for looters and benefactors of monopolised economy. If nt, how cud dat alakija woman turn frm being a tailor to african 2nd richest oil magnet, overnight? Who was Adenuga, otedola, etc b4 obj became president? Non of them wud come among the top 20 in Nnewi b4 obj. Ibeto was far ahead of dangote b4 obj decided to choke him outta business. Hw come dangote is never critical of any govt, even if they're wiping nija clean? It's bcos he fronts for them, successively, and helps dem wash their loots. So ma broda, be proud of wat ur ppl gat. They work for their money, and are the real rich men of this naija. The billionaires frm ur tribe all started frm scratch. Cnt say dsame to these other ppl. Dey have to run the state down to g8 there; the reason why de country is nt progressin. Wen one of us becomes president, we'd be the richest in da world, nt among, and it will worth it. If u fuktard fink u wanna say somfin, I say, let there be a far hustling ground, and l8s see if u'd come among top 500. Mtchew!
Stupid girl! Retard oshi
OK! We've heard. Yur so pained loooool Omo Igbo shiorrr
I am richer than Aliko Dangote but I can't find my Name on the List, probably a mistake by Forbes !!!!
She didn't say naira you blind dimwit... can't you read?
