Richest man and Woman comes from Nigeria

Folorunso Alakija

Aliko Dangote

             Nigeria tops the forbes list of africa's richest man. The very popular and well known 55-year old Nigerian business mogul Aliko Dangote, has once again topped the forbes list of Africa's richest for the year 2012, with a net worth of $12bn.
           The group had a list of other nigerians such as Mike Adenuga (5th position with a networth of $4.6bn), Jim Ovia (19th position with a networth of $825m), Folorunso Alakija ($600m) and Theophilus Danjuma ($600m) tying on the 24th position.
            For the first time, two women were included in the list. Folorunso Alakija, former banking executive-turned-fashion designer-turned-oil magnate, on the 24th position and Isabel Dos Santos, daughter af Angola's president Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, on the 31st position.
            The list excluded Africa's dictators, as Forbes disqualified them because their wealth is connected to their position of power. Past and present African dictators were not known for being hardworking business people. Their only sources of income were traced to corruption.(SO VERY TRUE!!!!!!)
 

We need more Nigerians on that list or dont you think so? maybe I'll be there soon *winks*
