The Magnetic Miens Of Three, Super-Rich Nigeria-born African Billionaires: Dangote, Rabiu, Adenuga

They, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu and Otunba Mike Adenuga Jnr., are builders and creators, merchants of industry and a mature economic system, and they have become very synominous with money-spinning ventures which they spread to the poor and underprivileged through humanitarian ventures.
These men of highly influential personality recently made it to the Forbes comprehensive list of world's billionaires for 2023. The list, which came out Tuesday, April 4, with 25 richest people in the world are worth a collective $2.1 trillion, down a combined $200 billion from $2.3 trillion in 2022.
One of the surprises however is the rise of BUA Group chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu. From 7.6Billion Dollars a few months ago, the Billionaire businessman and philanthropist’s rating in Forbes billionaires list has again shot up towering many to become the 249th richest person in the world and closing in on overtaking the third richest man in Africa, Nicky Oppenheimer who stands at 8.4billion Dollars. Rabiu’s latest worth is put at 8.2billion dollars. From 1.6billion Dollars in 2019, Forbes recorded that by 2022 his net worth was at 6.9billion dollars and from there has jumped to 8.2billion Dollars in April 2023.
62-year old Abdul Samad Rabiu is essentially into cement and sugar as well as real estate and is building sub-saharan Africa’s second largest refinery and petrochemicals plant in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria. Little wonder, he has steadily evolved as Africa’s biggest philanthropist with his BUA Foundation and the phenomenal Abdul Samad Rabiu Africa Initiative.
Meanwhile Aliko Dangote has retained his position as the wealthiest person of African descent in th e world. After climbing to 14billion Dollars in 2022, his wealth is estimated to be around 14.2billion Dollars as at the reports released on Tuesday April 4, 2023. He is presently the 125th richest man in the world and he is easily the largest cement producer in Africa. He also has his hands in other businesses including pastries, sugar and other areas of manufacturing.
For Dr. Mike Adenuga (Jnr) through grit and hard work, he built his octopoidal conglomerate that employs thousands of Nigerians nay Africans in profitable, futuristic endeavours. A smart businessman extraordinaire, Adenuga is a bold disrupter of the telecoms model. And Nigeria and Africa are the better for it. He enables telecoms in a way no other magnate has done. His forays into the business sector are richly layered and iconic. Inspiring, moving, pleasurable, and transcendent, Adenuga ultimately does create a composite image of endeavour and an ideal ethic of manhood. His style is driven, prudent, empathic, and boundless.
