But when the same Forbes published a recent publication and didn't list rich Igbo men as current dollar billionaires in 2024

Cosmos Maduka owner of Cascharis

Someone who is not even a hundrednaire is now an expert in billionaire topics. This Reno is truly an Ahitophel incarnate


In 1965, the richest man in Nigeria was Alhaji Sanusi Dantata. He was a renowned businessman and industrialist who amassed significant wealth through various ventures, including trade, agriculture, and manufacturing. Dantata was known for his dominance in the commodity trading sector, particularly in groundnut exportation, which was a lucrative business at the time. His wealth and influence made him one of the most prominent figures in Nigeria's business landscape during that era.

There was no billionaire even in the 70s. I doubt there was any even in the 80s. It is easier to be a billionaire today than in those days.

In 1979 for example the entire GDP of NIgeria was less than $50b. In 1971 it was less than $10b. In 1965 the GDP of the entire country was $5b!!

Very rich does not mean you are a billionaire, the and now. Though it is easier now.

Reno Omockery is a senseless fool misleading ignorant Yoruba youths.


Every available record has it that Louis Ojukwu was the first documented Nigerian billionaire and richest Nigerian person around the 1960s.



Reno Omockery being a foolish man has decided to make himself an anti Igbo people just to please Yorubas to beg Tinubu to consider him for political appointment because he knows that the only thing that gives an average Yoruba man joy is attacking and condemning Igbos.



Tell me what concerns Reno with how a billionaire in the 1950s uses his legally acquired wealth? Louis Ojukwu was so rich that he was founder, Chairman and director of virtually all known Nigerian companies and organizations at that time, and useless Reno Omockery think such caliber of man doesn't merit or deserve owning a Rolls Royce car?



IGBO = I Go Before Others


Whatever a Yoruba man wants to become in Nigeria today, an Igbo man has already achieved that several decades ago.



First Nigerian Indigenous Governor General = Igbo


First Nigerian Civilian President = Igbo

First Nigerian Military Head of State = Igbo

CommonSense1967:
Saleh Fatima Alkali did not forge her result. She did not boast about it. She did not even publish it, She also did not compare herself to others. And did not gloat. She just scored perhaps the highest mark in the JAMB UTME Examination, and remained humble and modest. It was others who exposed her and praised her.

Apart from Fatima, at least 12 other Northerners also scored above 300. However, they did not make noise after making news. They simply praised God for His benevolence and went about their daily Jihad of self-conquest and self-development.

We can all learn something about Northern Arewa culture from Fatima.

Northerners, especially the Hausas, were literate, clothed and on horses five hundred years ago. They have also been going to Mecca on pilgrimage for the last 800 years.

And they were seasoned naval aviators thousands of years ago. The Dufuna canoe, excavated in Yobe State (incidentally, Fatima is from Yobe) is 8,500 years old, and is the second oldest canoe ever discovered on Earth.

That they do not boast about money does not mean Northerners are poor. The wealthiest man in Nigeria is a Hausa man, Aliko Dangote. His great-grandfather, Alhassan Dantata, was the wealthiest person, not just in Nigeria, but in West Africa.

Since the creation of Nigeria in 1914, there has NEVER been a time when the richest Nigerian was not a Northerner.

Yet, no Northerner has ever declared himself king of money in Hausa or any other language!

That they do not boast about inventiveness does not mean they are not inventive. Alhassan Dantata was not only the wealthiest man in West Africa in his day, but he was also the inventor of the famous groundnut pyramids a hundred years ago.

Jelani Aliyu, a Fulani, is the only person of Nigerian origin to have achieved international prowess in designing cutting-edge electric vehicles, including the Chevrolet Volt and the Pontiac G6.

In terms of Western education, especially the medical profession, they produced one of the world's best cardiologists, in the person of Jibril Aminu, a professor of cardiology.

And in terms of beauty, their women surpass any other in Nigeria.

Unlike empty barrels, who are so boastful, arrogant, without any sense of moderation and exultant in hubris to the extent that they look down on others when they are intoxicated by an achievement, mutanen Arewa tend to be modest even in the height of their accomplishments. Which is why God has seen it fit to entrust power to them.

“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”-James 4:6.

May God bless Arewa
May God bless Nigeria

grin grin Reno don craze with that paragraph on ostentatious lifestyle.

... Sir Mobolaji Bank Anthony... What a sparkling legacy! I salute.


Having a Rolls Royce neither makes you a billionaire or the wealthiest person in Nigeria. Many rich people then and now do not indulge in such ostentatious lifestyles.

For example, the Time Magazine article, which I gave you the link to, also mentions Mobolaji Bank Anthony as one of the wealthiest men in Nigeria as of 1965. Yet, despite having such stupendous wealth, Mr. Bank Anthony did not buy himself a Rolls Royce. What he did with his money was to build a series of free hospitals, which he donated to the Lagos government, including the Ikeja General Hospital, and the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi.

He also said ownership of a RR night not be the real yardstick to show you are wealthier than those who don't own one as people like Mobolaji Bank Anthony chose to build hospitals for state government, including the national orthopaedic hospital, Igbobi.
