The information. you are reading now can dramatically increase your chance of increasing your wealth and becoming rich.
For a long now, there has been a silent battle of who's who on the list of Nigeria’s richest billionaires. To quench the thirst for knowledge and put an end to this long time exaggeration, I decided to carry out an individual research. The comprehensive result of this research is what I want to share here.
Most people on this list decided to lie low and avoid the lime light of the Forbes ranking but they are idea billionaires by all standards. These men and women strikingly rich because they were able to spot best small business idea that others miss. They are rich because they took advantage of the business opportunities in Nigeria. I also want to let you know that if all these men should declare their assets to Forbes, it will raise some dust for some of them and it will also create a battle for the first position between them. These men and women are testimonies of the daring spirit of Nigerians; if you want to learn how to start a small business and join this list, then read on and remember to follow this blog for more idea on business opportunity in Nigeria.
The criteria for coming up with this list is this:
1. By the value of their shares held in quoted companies.
2. The size and market share of their companies
3. The number of companies they own and its assumed value
4. The market value of their company's brand
5. Their political activities leverage and shrewdness
