Nsmnews have put together the list of the richest man in Anambra State? Here are are the top 9 wealthiest people in Anambra state.
This post will also teach you a little about the history of wealth in Nigeria.
First on the list is Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu. Historical-informational sources report that shortly before Nigeria gained independence in 1960, Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu became the first of the black Nigerian billionaires. He founded the Nigerian Stock Exchange and also was the knight of Queen Elizabeth II. Ojukwu received this title after helping British with the fleet of trucks during the Second World War. This man was so wealthy that at the request of the colonial authorities he offered the queen a ride on his Rolls-Royce in 1956. Apparently, it was the only such car in Nigeria at the time.
In 1965, in Time magazine wrote about him. He got rich thanks to a business connected with the import and resale of dried fish. Ojukwu also worked with transport, textiles, and cement. When a year later his life ended, the total wealth was estimated at 4 billion dollars in terms of the current money rates.
If you are from Anambra state and you want to build your own wealth, just try and follow his lead.
Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu is Nigeria's first-ever Billionaire
Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu's son Chukwuemeka is also very rich and he inherited his father fortune. At age 22, he earned a master's degree at Oxford University. Then Chukwuemeka became the head of Biafra and led the Igbo people in the civil war in 1967.
Chukwuemeka "Emeka" Odumegwu-Ojukwu was a Nigerian military officer and politician who served as the military governor of the Eastern Region of Nigeria in 1966 and the leader of the breakaway Republic of Biafra from 1967 to 1970. He was active as a politician from 1983 to 2011, when he died aged 78
Many people have worked and earned big money in Anambra state, a list of billionaires who were born and worked in the Anambra State. This region became the richest state in Nigeria and possibly in the entire continent. Maybe this place has some special aura or energy? Is it all about the entrepreneurial traits of the representatives of the Igbo people? No one can say for sure.
