According to the list, Aliko's networth currently stands at $10.3 billion.

Telecommunication's magnate, Mike Adenuga, was number 2 on the list with a $9.2 billion worth. Folorunsho Alakija was one of the billionaires who suffered a drop in their net worth between last year and this year, as she held No 19 on the 20-man list. She is currently worth $1.1 billion.

Nigeria’s cement mogul Abdulsamad Rabiu, who runs and owns the BUA Group,featured on the list for the first time since 2015, with his networth standing at $1.6 billion.

Quoted by Rinjis Rylopenes " Dangote has worked hard to attain that position, we all know, and congrats to him. But the fact that the richest man in Africa comes from the poverty capital of the world should show you that something is off somewhere.

No Igbo man is making noise, if we find an Igbo man name here they would call him names trash all Igbo. We are not worried, we would survive as work hard and congrats those doing their genuine business apart from the monopoly criminal in Hausa land and the oil thief at the bottom.

All the Nigerian in that list didn’t work for it, they were given, federal Govt money launderers. Even this Linda Ikeji benefited from arm deal money that is the source of her wealth, slept with politicians to get here portion of the embazzelled fund all in the name of advert. 1.9billion Naira. In nigeria just shine your eyes federal money is all what we call success in this country
