Chief Etahoben & Barrister Dennis Tambe,
You duo just unleashed your "dossiers of annoyance" on the wrong group "Africa's Wealthiest". African politicians fit in very well to what you both wrote. The continent's richest man Aliko Dangote just put in a colossal sum of money at the disposal of Nigeria to fight Ebola in his home country and it yielded results. Nigeria is a WHO ebola free country. Isn't that something?. I might not have clues on how some other African billionaires operate, but I know those in Nigeria do substantial big things for their people and communities.
Pa Batey Greig.

You spoke well my brother. Wealthy Africans seem to enjoy seeing their kith and kin suffer and when we glorify them we inadvertently encourage them to be callous and indifferent to the plight of their people. Pilfering from the public till is becoming the rule and not the exception. When intellectuals who are supposed to lead and enlighten flaunt the ill-gotten wealth of public wealth raiders, one has the impression we are doomed. It is so sad.

We should not celebrate "wealthiest entrepreneurs" who ride rough shod over uncivil African societies. Boko Haram, Niger Delta Pirates and Ebola are thriving in the context of our blind celebration of wealth in broken societies. Rich Africans and their cohorts in power are unconscionably indifferent to prevalent abject poverty.
Africans in the diaspora who have escaped generalized debilitating poverty and are eking an existence in better run white societies should be the last people to celebrate unbridled wealth in the midst of generalized abject poverty in their primordial worlds. These wealthy idiots without a modicum of conscience park their wealth in more civilized and humane societies of the West and pretend to trickle it back to God-forsaken Africa.
To vaunt the exploits of Africa's obtuse wealthy is to perpetuate an unacceptable status quo that will culminate in the collapse of many African States. Ebola is making a mockery of African wealthy men. It is the astute enlightened White world with its prevalent" live and lets live" ethos that has upped the ante and is saving the bumbling African wealthy. Wealthy men should be imbued with a "noblese oblige" ethos that would preserve their wealth, families and societies into the foreseeable future. The irresponsible African rich flaunt wealth (private jets, big houses, expensive cars) womanize and procreate with abandon. They do not care a hoot about their miserable environs, people and failing societies.
Educated Africans living in the West must guard against encouraging or vaunting unconscionable wealth.

Pa Fru Ndeh,What's your problem?. Isn't it good news that our neighbour Nigeria is habitat of some of Africa's wealthiest entrepreneurs, owners of industries and plants, creating jobs for Africans by Africans.Pa Batey Greig.

Nigerian tycoons lead Africa's 50 richest

in 2014
Our Reporter: Kerry A. Dolan with Abram Brown and Luisa Kroll
For the first time in the four years that FORBES has been tracking Africa's
richest, Nigeria beats South Africa. At the top yet again cement tycoon Aliko
Dangote of Nigeria is joined on the list of Africa's 50 Richest by 12 other
countrymen. In comparison South Africa claims 11 spots, down from 14 a year
ago. Nigeria is showing its strength, having earned commendations for its
efforts to snuff out Ebola in the country, which Dangote helped fund and despite
a recent drop in oil prices.
Three new billionaires that joined the list include Orji Uzor Kalu of
Nigeria, Tony Elumelu of Nigeria and King Mohammed VI of Morocco. Three
billionaires on last year's list are no longer members of the 10-figure club:
Vimal Shah of Kenya is off the list, replaced by his father Bhimji Depar Shah at
a lower net worth. Abdulsamad Rabiu of Nigeria dropped below $1 billion due to
ceased operations at his floating cement terminal in Nigeria. And South African
mining mogul Desmond Sacco dropped to a net worth of $680 million, down from
$1.4 billion last year, because of a sharp decline in the share price of his
mining firm Assore Group. The net result: the number of billionaires on the list
stayed steady with 2013 at 27.
Africa's 50 richest are, as a whole, wealthier than a year ago. Their
combined net worth of $110.7 billion is 6.7 per cent more than in November 2013.
The minimum net worth needed to join this elite group rose to $510 million, up
from $400 million a year ago.
Behind Aliko Dangote at number one with a fortune of $21.6 billion, comes
South African luxury goods magnate Johann Rupert, number two for the second year
in a row, worth an estimated $7.3 billion. His Compagnie Financiere Richemont
has a stable of luxury brands including Cartier, Montblanc and fashion house
Azzedine Alaia.
Six newcomers join the list of richest Africans, including the above
mentioned new billionaires, as well as Ali Wakrim of Morocco and Ahmed Ezz of
Egypt. Mohamed Bensalah of Morocco rejoins the list after dropping off in 2013.
Seven members of the 2013 list fell off: Vimal Shah of Kenya (as mentioned
earlier, his father Bhimji replaced him), Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa,
Raymond Ackerman of South Africa, Sani Bello of Nigeria, Adrian Gore of South
Africa, Shafik Gabr of Egypt, and Alami Lazraq of Morocco.
