Nigeria's top Richest people

TOP 10

Faces of Nigeria's richest

Today, we compile for you a list of Nigerian billionaires and top richest people in Nigeria but note that this list will be restricted to entrepreneurs only. Politicians and individuals whose source of wealth cannot be traced are excluded from this list.

Most people have asked why so few Nigerians made the Forbes list of richest people in the world. So far, only Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga and Femi Otedola have made the Forbes list of world billionaires. Well the answer to that question is this: Forbes estimates the wealth of individuals and rank them based on the value of shares they have in quoted companies (companies listed on the stock exchange) and most of the richest people in Nigeria prefer to run their businesses privately. That’s why they don’t make the Forbes list of richest people in the world.

                The criteria for coming up with this list

• Value of shares held in quoted companies.
• Size and market share of their companies
• Number of companies owned and their assumed value
• Market value of company’s brand
• Impact of their companies on the Nigerian economy

  THE LIST (as of 2013)

1.            Alhaji Aliko Dangote –    founder of Dangote Group and Richest black man in the world

2.            Mike Adenuga –    Conoil, Equatorial Trust Bank, Globacom

3.            Femi Otedola –     ZENON Oil and Gas

4.            Orji Uzor Kalu –      Slok Group

5.            Cosmos Maduka –     Coscharis Group

6.            Jimoh Ibrahim –     Nicon Insurance, Global Fleet

7.            Jim Ovia –       Zenith Bank, Visafone

8.            Pascal Dozie –     MTN Nigeria, Diamond Bank

9.            Oba Otudeko –    Honeywell Group Nigeria

10.          Alhaji Sayyu Dantata –   MRS Group

This household material is indestructible

DID YOU KNOW

It takes an average plastic bottle 450 years to start decomposing and another 50 - 80 years before it decomposes fully. That means that every single piece of plastic produced has not decomposed yet!

Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET is nearly indestructible but care must be taken that this very same advantage doesn't become the undoing of our environment. The key is to dispose properly and encourage recycling. Studies have shown that recycling plastics can save up to 2/3 of the needed energy for producing plastic from raw materials.

Sometimes, the quality of life we live is a function of our own expectations.

If only brand owners could guarantee our utmost gratification so that like this young man, we can derive satisfaction in using these products and services.

He's happy and content, are you?

THE DANCER & THE SINGER

BRANDED FIGURES

No doubt this duo have left a stamp in the minds of the young and young at heart. They are a brand to reckon with any day, anytime.
The dancer or the singer, who do you think would thrive better IF there was to be a breakup (not that we're saying there's one)?

If hope dies
