  31. Linda you see for Nigeria anything c an happen for starters Orji kalu deserves to be on the list dude has been a business mogul at age 23 rising to build his sloak empire he was already a billionaire before he became governor dude was damn close to IBB who gave him oil blocs and connection and his mum too was close to the Babagidas orji gave obasanjo 1billion naira for his presidential campaign so he is an established big boy.
    but Anthony Eleums former CEO of UBA him making the liSt MAKES HIS WEALTH is suspicious he has no business empire neither does he have political clout or connection in essence we are now made to BELIVE he made his money from UBA.
    because after his exist he founded Heirs holding a financial institution so if elemule is in Forbes how about our lord general over seer of zenith bank JIM OVIA OWNER OF ZENTIH BANK HOW ABOUT AIG imuoghede former CEO of Acess BANK THEY TOO SHOULD BE ON THE LSIT HOW ABOUT OBASAJO he too should be on the list jagaban asiwaju nkor him surpose dey the list Akpabio akwa ibom governor should be on d list
