Ok.., but, bikonu pardon my ignorance; what gives them such affluence? ..
Do they get salaries as Kings or what? ...Even in my hometown, village turn against the other, fight about who's to be the next king.

Biko, kowaaranum nke oma.

To be rich is one thing. What are they doing for the poor? How did they get wealthy? I have no idea what Mswati is doing in this list since he can't feed his more than a dozen wives & people in Swaziland live below the breadline.

Very true. I won't forget in a hurry the day I met Oba Okunade Sijuwade, of Ile-Ife in one of the biggest and best hotels in Osun state. OMG. This man is made. I think he smells more than the figures up there.

Yoruba kings,too much money!

Anonymous said...

This list looks rubbish to me... Many more kings in Nigeria are worth more than $10m ... Likewise there wl be many more in other African countries... Even Obat would definitely worth more than $300m, Forbes should try and be more accurate.

Really? So where's the Emir of Kano, Oonis good friend and probably business partner?

The Ooni of Ife is a government contractor. He has no scruples. He is always at the service of any government in power. When Babangida annulled the June 12 election won my MKO Abiola, he was one of those invited to Aso Rock for a meeting, he came out of the meeting and said ''Babangida was making sense''. The Ooni told journalists that he was in support of Babangida's position that a fresh election should be held. He betrayed Abiola.

Is Obat Oil Chairman a king or Oba? Am sure some pple didn't read that the list is for kings. Anyway,I may be wrong , someone pls tel me.is d Obat guy a king or trad ruler in naija?

Anonymous said...

I'm not surprised. Instead of you to spend time brushing up and bettering yourself, you seek attention on blogs by sending in questionable pictures. This is not a hate comment by the way. You just make me curious. How can a young boy be such an attention whore? Do you get no attention in real life? Why do you feel the need to be talked about on Linda Ikeji's blog? You need to ask yourself these questions. Perhaps that'll be the beginning of better self assurance and more knowledge.

Not only oil money. Some of them are drug lords just to top up. D only people NDLEA arrests are d small boys. A case was reported of a drug lord in my street who was arrested but d drugs turned to pure gold n they couldn't do anything.

Lagos Lawyer said...

If you include Obateru in this your 'from the west', then you don't know Nigerdelta properly bro. The riverine area of Ondo State is classified as Niger Delta. Ugbo, where Obat reigns is actually the town that makes Ondo State an oil producing state. Funny enough, the man made his fortune way before he became king. I reckon the money will only increase now that he has direct control of an area where Chevron drills oil.

@ Dallas: u're so dumb that you couldn't even read well before posting your stupid comment here. is Linda forbes that u're saying she placed Ooni above Obat? secondly, why not open ur eyes well cos Obat according to that list is richer than the Ooni of Ife, but i guess ur mum works there as a cook or cleaner so you want to rush to comment just to show some stupid famzin.

Yes. He is the Olugbo of Igbo Kingdom in Ilaje, Ondo State.

Obaterun Akinruntan's wealth and influence have not made any meaningful impact on the Kingdom he is ruling. He has palace within the kingdom. Ugbo the headquarters of the kingdom is a slum.
