Before Aliko Dangote took the stage as the richest man in Nigeria, we had Harry Akande who was in his time well famous for his wealth.
So many of us have heard a lot about Aliko Dangote, and am sure the few inquisitive ones among us might be wondering who was the richest in the country before him.
Just has we are so sure there is going to be another richest man in Nigeria after Aliko Dangote, we are sure to know that there must have been one before him. That one is no other person other than CHIEF (DR.) HARRY AYOADE AKANDE, here is all you need to know about him, and how he lost his position as the richest man in Nigeria.
WHO IS THE RICHEST MAN IN NIGERIA BEFORE DANGOTE?
HARRY AKANDE WAS THE RICHEST MAN IN NIGERIA BEFORE ALIKO DANGOTE, BUT HE FELL OFF BY ENTERING POLITICS. PEOPLE JUST COLLECTED HIS MONEY AND DUMP HIM, HE FELT SO BAD THAT HE WAS ALMOST CRYING IN THE YEAR 2003. THIS IS WHY ALIKO DANGOTE DOESN’T WANT TO GO INTO POLITICS.
HARRY AKANDE’S SON IS CURRENTLY MARRIED TO DAKORE EGBUSON. TO TELL YOU HOW RICH HARRY AKANDE WAS, HE USED TO SUPPLY 24/7 ELECTRICITY TO THE WHOLE DISTRICT HIS MOTHER’S MANSION IS IN IBADAN.
HARRY AKANDE USED TO WATER HIS FARM WITH HELICOPTERS, HE WAS ALSO A GRANDMASTER OF OGBONI CONFRATERNITY TILL HIS DEATH, HE HAD YACHT,ISLAND IN USA AND WAS INVOLVED IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIVORCE SETTLEMENT EVER IN UK.
MKO ABIOLA IN THE 90’S,MKO WAS RUINED BY POLITICS,ABACHA DESTROYED HIS WEALTH AND MADE SURE HE TURN HIM TO A POOR MAN BEFORE HE DIES.
ISIAKU RABIU ALSO,ISIAKU RABIU IS INTO OIL AND GAS AND OTHER BUSINESSES AND STUPENDOUSLY RICH,NOW IN HIS 90’S AND HIS SON IS ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN NIGERIA TODAY. ISIAKU HAS MANY TRUCKS ALSO FOR HAULAGE,THERE WAS A TIME HE BUILT ABOUT 57 DUPLEXES WITH FURNITURE’S,AND EVERYTHING AND STARTED RENTING TO PEOPLE BUT PEOPLE STARTED COMPLAINING AND PACKING OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE HEARING STRANGE SOUNDS OF GHOSTS AND BABIES CRYING IN THE MIDNIGHT AND ISIAKU RABIU WAS ACCUSED OF BEING A RITUALIST. THE ESTATE IS STILL IN THE NORTH WITH NOBODY LIVING IN ANY OF THE MANSIONS
