This is totally rubbish and disgusting. The aforementioned names worth more than that. Especially Igwe Mbaukwu, Igwe Ukpo, Igwe Ichida, Obi of Onitsha. Even Igwe Orizu is not among the list. Igwe Igbariam is not there. Oga go and sleep and stop mocking your Village people. 🚶
Why is that igwe Nnewi is not amoung in that lists?
I don’t think that it is wise to reveal the wealth of anyone – particularly kings and leaders of nations. These African Kings have to be protected. No one knows the true wealth of the royals at Buckingham Palace in England.
Why is it that igwe nnewi is not in the list and even igwe obois
I wonder ooooooooooooooooo
This is wrong information. The Obi of Onitsha is worth way more than that. The King of Omor, worth so much more than that. Pull this fake article down before they see this. The kings here are worth way more than that. These are Anambra billionaires.
If you think they worth? more provide other assets and their Investments showing otherwise.being a king and being respected has nothing to do with the size of one’s pocket.
Igwe onyido is far richer than that this is a man that pays more than 4000 workers salary his company in Kano alone is over 40 million dollars he has another company in Anambra with over 2000 workers a man who is a billionaire in dollars and you are rating him with just #280m is an insult
