Maybe more information about the different ethnic groups but you are doing so well already on nigeria.
The video got the eleganza company owner mixed up.
Nigerians are suffering a lot, all this rich people shown to you, they don’t contribute nothing to the poor and needy, it’s like a culture in Nigeria to be rich just for you and your children, this is really bad. it’s a shame to know that Nigeria have all this wealthy people and people are still in abject poverty,
You guys are doing a great job and I respect you for the love ❤️ But please you people shouldn’t be talking about this selfish people. I know you have no idea because you haven’t been to Nigeria.
I would appreciate if you react to Agriculture in Nigeria, it’s beautiful, you’ve to to see how it’s cultivated, harvested and processed. This is how Nigerians live if you truly desire to know about us. One love guys ❤❤
Explore the culture and history of the three major tribes Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo
Explore the other unacknowledged tribes
Truthfully, there are a lot of Billionaires in Nigeria. They don't want to be profile...we call them the underground billionaires
When Forbes claimed there are 19 Billionaires in Africa, I just laughed so hard. If you count the billionaires in dollars in Nigeria, 19 is just scratching the surface. Dangote may not even be on the list of the top 3. Some of them lay low because they do not want to be known for some reason
Fact💯
You don't even understand how Forbes make their list
@@ogonnaudekwe9682 You don't even understand how they play politics with it. Sit down there. They will rather list Trump's over bloated wealth in Forbes, than listing an African's genuine wealth. They believe most of Africans run illegal business.
Lay lowe??? You mean
Fact 💯
The richest people in Nigeria are Nigerians not foreigners like in some other African countries. The west blackmail us with bad press simply because we don't bow to control, we simply have to build our economy by ourselves. Nigeria is a country with minimal foreign interferences - and it's good. We are getting somewhere, and it's good for Africa!
There are many Nigerians with English / non-Nigerian surnames. Some of them are descendants of once enslaved people that returned to Nigeria after they regained their freedom while others just decided to change their surname for reasons best known to them.
@lyke I meant there are Nigerians who changed their surnames to English/Christian/Islamic etc names
They are likely people who are from lagos who had interactions with the Portuguese who touched down in their shores before the british!
If you want to see more of the European/Christian names, you'll find them more in the Niger Delta region, especially in states like Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and to an extent in Lagos state as well.
The majority of the families in the video are either Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa, besides the Briggs family that is Ijaw and the Igbinedion that are Benin(Aka Edo). In the area where the Briggs are from(Niger Delta region) you will hear more of British sounding surnames.
I’m from Rivers state, Nigeria and English surnames are very common here. My last name is Roberts and I have friends with surnames like Pepple, Bruce and Jumbo. My dad says we got our name because our ancestor was enslaved by a man named Robert. Hence, Roberts as in Robert’s, property of Robert.
Ah! Learned something new. We were under the impression that you all held on to your Nigerian surnames, which is the reason I was shocked.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT You guys are used to seeing or hearing about mostly Nigerians of Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa ancestry. The other smaller tribes like those in the coastal states have more British and Biblical names.
@@ekinematics Even, Yorubas have non African names. Just look at Naija artists. Banky W (Bankole Wellington), Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal.
@@sylviasworld9397 Even in the North, there are areas with non Nigerian(European, Christian and Islamic) surnames. I only listed states that I know have a very high concentration of non native(especially european) surnames. Unless you want to tell me that Lagos is not a yoruba state.
In Rivers state, Port harcourt some of our last names are Cotterell, Briggs, Douglas, Oxfords, Bobmanuel, Jack, Georgewill etc
Yes of course... Nigerians billionaires do help in terms of jobs creation. Like Aliko Dangote, he has the second highest number of labour force in Nigeria, outside the Federal Government of Nigeria. Follow by Mike Adenuga and Rabiu.
Proudly from Delta state Nigeria, rich in oil 🇳🇬 some families from lagos and south-south also have European names can be traced to their ancestry
Very true. I’m from the Southern part of Nigeria and I bear European names and it goes as deep as my ancestors
Nigerians are Very Industrious
They are Goal getters and Street Smart(like they gon make it with school or not) .. But we beefing emm always 😄..
@@adesete1 you right Ghanaian 😁
At the time you are watching this, Tinibu is now the president of Nigeria ( the one who his wife is also listed to be prominent)
Why were almost all of them born in November, this coincidence is unheard of 😮
This should be called list of richest popular families in Nigeria. The reality is much different as there are hidden rich people you will not find on any list
The narrator murdered every name😂😂😂😂😂
Nigerians are d most family oriented people u will ever find..
these are the corrupt politicians that make Nigerians are suffering today
Yall need to understand that there is a difference from business men and politicians.
The reason why some old families have English names is cause some of them were given those name by their Colonial masters, most times because the colonialist couldn't pronounce the native names. In Cross River and Akwa Ibom for example, some natives names have taken on different pronunciations and spellings because the colonial masters pronounced them that way.... Abasi for example became Bassey.
Sometimes slaves bore their owners names... Horsfall, Briggs, etc. Other times they were given by their masters or in honour of their masters. This doesn't count for all though
Is the pronunciation of Igbinedion as Ibidin for me 🤣🤣🤣
Oneafrica onepeople onelove Oneunity ✌
25 richest family and i can still tell you that the richest of them all is still not on this list, Infact, they are not on this list
Abacha family for example
@@adafelix5127people that stole government money don’t count! 😂
33:05 hey yall, quite happy with your interest in Nigeria! I can confirm that several families had last names like that, my school principal was an Akin-John... she's yoruba btw.
lots of people with English last names in Nigeria, my friend's last name is Dixon, and they are 10000% Nigerian
These are those that wants to be listed.
There are so many billionaires in Nigeria.
A lot of Nigerians have English and Spanish names, they are mostly freed enslaved people that returned to Nigeria.
The order of this least is not correct, many of those family are not top 100 anymore but still quite rich.
Also, Dangote isn’t the leader of the Dantata family, his uncle Aminu Dantata is, he doesn’t even greet the man while standing 🤭, Aminu is a billionaire in Dollars too btw.
We don’t hear much about those who were able to return to Nigeria. This will be our research for the day. Thank you.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Most of the freed slaves settled in Lagos and the regions of the minority tribes of the Niger Delta. Besides the ones that settled in Lagos the other ones in the areas of the minority tribes are not really talked about. Nigeria is structured in a way that, once you are not a member of the big three tribes (Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo), its difficult for you to be popular. Because of the large population of the big 3, anything that happens amongst them tend to be big and popular, while you'll hardly hear anything about the minorities.
There's a place called Brazilian guarters on Lagos island, Lagos state, that's where returnee ex slaves from Brazil settled when they came back home Their descendants can be identified by their surnames eg Fernandez, Da Silva, Da Costa, Fereira, Pedro, Gomez etc.
The houses they built over 100 years ago are still there- they have brazilian architecture.
I guess you mean Portuguese, not Spanish. You can correct your error.
They just like western names , there are Nigerians that give their kids western names till date , especially people from the south south and south east . It’s colonial mentality , has nothing to do with slave masters
Will love you both, keep it up
Yh I’m Nigeria we have surnames like Johnson, Jones, fowler e.t.c
Ayo, shout out to Mr. Ovia. I’m a proud alumnus of his school, James Hope College. Shout out to y’all😭🫶🏽
We Nigerians are family oriented.🔥❤️
Good to see my father's friend, the breeks family, woa it brings back old memories in port Harcourt
Briggs not Breeks.
You can’t spell your father’s friend’s name?
I was waiting to see Abacha at No 1..lol
Until now countries are returning billions of euros stolen by him during his tenure as a military president.
What do u mean ? Abacha family don have money
They are crazy rich
Just to let you know. You are a really beautiful couple.
During the late 1800s after the abolition of slavery, many former slaves who still remembered their tribes and had saved enough money found their way back home to West Africa, some who did not know their origins settled in freetown Sierra-leone, Monrovia Liberia etc . However due to the fact that more slaves were taken from the present day southern Nigeria, mostly the Igbo and Yoruba and these tribes especially the Yoruba took their customs into slavery, it was easy for these two tribes to have more returnees as they were called. They came back with new names and careers, many took to teaching and politics. That is why we have a lot of English and portuguese last names in Nigeria, those from Brazil kept their slave names in portuguese just like those from the Americas with English names.
Black Americans and blacks from the Caribbeans moved back to the West African continent and settled wherever they chose. They are not necessarily from those tribes or countries.
True but many still knew their tribes and even their family names@@adaorahi
My last name is Princewill & I'm from the same tribe with the Briggs family (Kalabari in River's State) we have mostly English last names.
We have a lot of rich pple in Nigeria, that are not mentioned here, majority likes, privacy.
I love your reactions very much.
I like that you know and said it because many people know this truth but would rather not say it "Nigerians are motivational'
the names on the list are well known wealthy families in Nigeria but a lot of known wealthy Names are missing in that list
Awesome contents
They have a few info and pictures wrong in the video. Razaq Okoya, who owns Eleganza, is different from Molade Okoya-Thomas, who is the vice chancellor of a university.
Yep. Ibru leased some acres of land from my great grandfather for 100 years for one of their Ibru Sea Food companies
Chief's daddy😂😂🤣great movie
Okoya Thomas came from a large prominent family of okoya, for distinction he added Thomas to his last name...and that is why his son changed his to eleganza okoya eleganza nick name of his daddy
Wow Okoya is a tribal name of Acholi Luo in my country Uganda it's a male name.lol❤
Nigeria problem is actually complex in honesty. Believe it, the wealth gap is much. That's why many youths are into crime. But there are many hard working youths doing great and getting up there.
Okay I can see how oil has really picked Nigeria up
Now that we know the Herbert Wigwe family how come they didn't feature on this list? Herbert Wigwe certainly is on the same level as Dangote and co. Review this list ASAP
What you said there in terms of helping others within the family to be successful is what I wish for as a Nigerian but unfortunately that is not what happens.
When one person is successful they want to be the king over the others - which is Sad.
I left a 6 figure job to start a charity because as a Christian I felt life is meaningless if you are not helping others.
This is why India is really developing because the Indians are constantly helping and educating each other.
Nigerias got more billionaires yall they just listed the ones they know we all know that ❤
There are a lot of English and Brazilian last names in Nigeria.
We still have many of them that are not mentioned here
Dangote and Rabiu BUA are from kano state in Northern Nigeria, the state is center of commerce which houses thousands of billionaires
That's a good question to ask Mrs Demouchet... yes , not even just billionaires or millionaires, yes they do a lot for lesser well of people!
It's become an intrinsic part of our various Nigerian cultures and societies to look out for the less privileged!
Indeed, billions of dollars are repatriated in remittance monies from Nigerians living and working abroad, especially from Nigerians living in your country the USA and the U.K.
A lot of wealthy Nigerians are also huge philanthropists in the country!!
13:09 the Demouchets Will be known throughout North America and Africa.
In Jesus name....Amen!!!!
@@sylviasworld9397 Amen. Sister as a declaration. God is with them
Thank y’all!🥺❤️ We truly appreciate the love you all show us.
We don't have entitlement mentality. Its their money if they choose to use it to help others well and good.
If they choose not to we will just make our own way in life.
Always Nigeria
It’s a must. 😂😂😂
My last name is an English name, my father's name precisely. Though my extended family is a local name, I chose my father's name.
Are you Igbo? I know some Igbo's recently have taken their father's first name ( only if it's non Igbo) and use it as their their surname. It's not a longstanding thing with Igbo's though. It's pretty recent and usually an individual decision to do that.
Richest people that want to be known.... Some of their money are change to some that we can't tell.... We even have one in the UK that goes around buying airport in the United Kingdom
12:35👍🏾 Family legacy
🙌🏾
Most of your breakdown vidoes are of Nigeria/South Africa no disrespect buh there's so much to talk about our country as well "GHANA".Much love❤
Our videos are requested videos. We have Ghana videos coming soon, fam! They are longer videos so it just take a bit of time for us to get to them. Much love.
Are you jealous or pained 😎
fun fact the head of the Tinubu family, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the current president of Nigeria
hope this helps
Wonderful
This wealth gap issue is all over Africa. These people are richer than what is listed on Forbes, and there are some who are not even listed. In any case, wealth is not properly distributed, for an example in my country, Kenya in the city of Nairobi you can find an apartment for $20 a month in one suburbs and the next suburbs has apartment that rent for $12,000 USD per month. We have over 17 million people that survice on 92 cents a day, and there are those who makes big splashes like our former Nairobi County governor who brought his daughter $117K Range Rover for his daughter on his grand daughter 2nd or 3rd birthday.
We have many more Billionaires who are not on this list. Some don’t like to show themselves
Yeah, rich people create jobs!! We need more rich people
So we have T.Y Danjuma on the list his wife too is prominent, she was a senator and Tony Elumelu his wife is an exe in the health insurance space too
Fyi, the Igbenidion family is the same family Porsha from real housewives of Atlanta married into. They rich rich.
These are the old money families we talk about 😭
A lot of Nigerian names that have a compound structure, having an added foreign name are resuolts of some foreign connect...returnees from the slave-trade era, as just one example. Some are even just additions by individuals to create a sort of distinct branch-out in lineage; the name Tobaba-Johnson, this might be to express that these are the descendants of Johnson Tobaba. So, no one is asking, 'which Tobaba is that?!' So, there are names such Okoya-Thomas, Bank-Anthony, Howson-Wright, Vaughn-Richards, to name a few.
Yes we have a lot of English names
Colonization also affects the names of Nigerians along the coastal lines
You have people with foreign last names in Nigeria mostly from southern Nigeria.
The couple is now the president of Nigeria
There are lots of billonaires(in dollars or nairas) that srtay low key because they dont wanna help people the ones that are known is probbaly cause they dont care or known for lavishly spending or because they help people and provide jobs also note how they all come from originally wealthy family and have parents that were chiefs or kings. Hopefully more people can start from scratch like that one guy and Nigerians are big on inheritance and conglomeracy
aint no way you’re reacting to my family 😂
Adopt us😂😂
Cletus Ibeto inherited his father's businesses
There are more but you can't hear from them on the internet
Many Nigerians have English surnames!
So a kalabari-ijaw family is the richest family in Nigeria
No 7 is new elected president 2023 is bola hammed tinubu
@Shola Badlus. By rigging election of course. You should be ashamed coming here to pride over a man who steals public fund to get rich
Selected please 🥺
A drug baron.
Do you mean selected drug lord🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean thiefnubu
Rich people with explainable sources. Some tribe brag out being the richest but they dont top the list. Empty barrels make the loudest noise.
About 5 of them are from Delta State.
They are selectively giving people fish or mostly transactionally. but they won't tell you how to fish.
Yes there many English or colonialists names in different parts of Nigeria. But most prefer the meaningful Nigerian language names.
People that are really rich in Nigeria dont show them self’s..
Most are even new money not old money
39:56 Nigeria was colonized and lots of people have English last names or first names. Most Nigerians have a Nigerian (whatever ethnicity) name, an english name and a religious name and depending on some a cultural name. Mostly the english names like Thomas is from the bible or the Arabic names from the Quran
PS- Okoya - Thomas is separate from Okoya who owns Eleganza industries.
The families are related though.
About the English last name; shouldn't come as a surprise to you guys. You weren't the only ones affected by slavery.
Returned slaves kept the names of their enslavers unfortunately.
Our major gift and curse in Nigeria is the population 1st nd bad governance
There re hundreds of billionaires in Nigeria
Nigeria has more than 10,000 billionaires
i dont think theres a big wealth gap in nigeria more than the us. but nah just like in america and other countires most rich people dont help the needy that much and theres more middle class and lower class people than upper class everywhere in the world and limited opportunities as usual
I don't think that they do, though they wealthy does get the write 9ffs to get their money back after the charitable donations.
Some Nigerian (if not most) wealthy/rich people are sometimes known to be very greedy, when the billionaires stay richer & the unfortunate/poor still stay poor...
Nahhh I never feel envy about the rich wealthy family cus my goal is to be wealthy too 😂😂
But my anger is towards the president family they are not what you should wish for any country
His name is Thomas/Okoya Eleganza. Thomas isn’t his last name. Nigerians do have Christian names due to Christianity
Again wealth is not measured in Nigeria like the West, if you goto Nigeria with mindset that they are poor, they will agree with you and ask you for money. Nigeria do not have richest or poorest, everyone see each other as the same. In Nigeria, you got to be careful how you treat people or you will get the whole Nigeria coming for you. The West tried to impose their wealth mindset on Nigeria but they are whom they are. Don't call or see a Nigeria poor, you will regret it. There are no 25 richest people in Nigeria, they are the ones measured by the West and as they keep the story going it helps them with their scam charity organizations. Drop the poor and rich foundings, and think about Nigerians as people who love to be happy. If you are happy, you are rich, if you have your own and can provide for your family, you are rich, if you can take care of your parents at old age, you are rich. West and Nigeria are not the same, the world is not the same and God did not create the world to be the same.
They are helping out but to me they are not doing enough my honest opinion
Those English or Spanish/Portuguese sounding names; Jones, Briggs, Johnson, Benson, Thomas, Santos, Fernandez, etc are quite common in Nigeria especiallybwith Edos and Yorubas. However, the shocking part is majority of them are offsprings of Black Americans, Black Britons and other Afro Latinos mostly Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica etc whose ancestors in millions relocated back to Nigeria and otherbparts of West Africa pre and post slavery. Another name worth of mentioning is Fela Kuti. His mother's maternal great grand mother and great grandfather were Afro Brazilians/Afro Cuba who relocated back to Nigeria as well. Truly appreciate y'all work and much love to you, family🙌🏾🥂
Arthur 1000
So almost every billionaire on this list was either born in November or December,okay got it...
Adeleke richest families in Nigeria 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
