Forbes published its list of top 40 African Billionaires recently in line with its annual tradition of exposing the rich amongst us. Whilst most of us are already used to the likes of Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola etc who regularly make the list, we are also oblivious of some others who are billionaires but not household names. Forbes decided to do us the favour and published a list of ten NIgerian billionaires that are relatively unknown to the larger public. Here they are;

1. Kola Aluko  – Into Oil and Aviation Services (Seven Energy)

2. Eddy Martins Egwenu – Banking (Second largest individual shareholder in Zenith Bank)

3. Jide Omokore – Steel Oil, Dredging (Energy Resource Group)

4. ABC Orjiakor  – Oil (Shebah E&P Company Limited)

5. Sam Iwuajoku – Commodities, Aviation Services (Quits Aviation Services)

6. Gbenga Oyebode – Law, Investments (Aluko & Oyebode)

7. Arthur Eze – Oil (Atlas Oranto Petroleum)

8. Aderemi Makanjuola  – Offshore Support Services (Caverton Helicopters)

9. Dele Fajemirokun – Diversified (Nigerian Martime Services Ltd)

10. Michael Ade-Ojo – Car distribution (Elizada Group)

    Good to hear but not impressive. An average Nigerian graduate is struggling to survive and have a decent job. No good hospitals for cancer treatments and research, no state of the art dialysis centers for the poor, public educations is almost history. Power (electricity) is nothing to write home about. When these billionaires are sick they fly to London, America, Dubai, France… for treatment. India is now the healthcare destination for most Nigerians seeking medical care (increasing their revenue). Have they ever taught of bringing back Nigeria doctors abroad who have the same expertise as their foreign counterparts they entrust their lives to. NEPA in Nigeria is a joke, every Tom and Jeremy have generators. The more generators the more pollution leading to environmental and health conditions May God visit these 10 Forbes Nigerian billionaires to invest in basic amenities in Nigeria. I recommend that they have lunch with Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winifrey, and other Forbes Billionaires to start reaching out meaningful to fellow Nigerians. And if I happen to have lunch with any of them, my requests will be DONATING WORLD CLASS HEALTH CARE CENTERS, RESTRUCTURING PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND JOBS, JOBS, JOBS FOR OUR YOUTHS, and EMBARKING ON GREEN ENERGY SUPPLY, Amen!
