Mike Adenuga is now the second richest man in Africa after Dangote

There are 24 African billionaires this year, down from 28 in 2015. And according to Forbes, Nigerian businessman Mike Adenuga is the biggest gainer among the African billionaires. He is now worth $10 billion, up from $4 billion a year ago.

The significant jump in Adenuga’s fortune according to Forbes is attributable to new information on the value of his telecom, oil and real estate holdings. Angolan investor Isabel dos Santos and oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija of Nigeria still remain the only two female billionaires on the continent.

Do any of these mentioned have time posting frivolities to "oppress" people on the internet? Do they brag online of how rich they are? They clearly have no such time but are always too busy making money. Let the youth grow in wisdom and apply it in their daily living. Selah!

Adenuga getting rich everyday an yet his staffs are suffering. No salary increase till date. All they do is make empty and useless promises and sack people every now and then as if recession is affecting telecom. What is the use of you riches if you staffs are not well taking care of?
