Good People, you all made me feel really good. I have been receiving many congratulations from our community members who actually do believe that Ndubuisi Ekekwe made it to the Forbes Africa Billionaire list. What can I write?
Publicly, can you see that even my undergraduate classmates think I deserve to join the billionaire club, eating special nkwobi and amala with zobo to wash am, like Aliko Dangote and Adenuga do daily? That means y’all have confidence that I will run a nice billionaire –royale.
I accept all the congrats; Vox Populi, Vox Dei [the voice of the people is the voice of God] . Yet, read that piece again; we’re just #believing. Yes “ faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. We’re confident that we’ll rise to that level but the date is not yet 2023! (With all intentions, that was a humour please, and do not use that in your undergraduate seminar paper]

The original piece
The Forbes’ List is out with Africa’s billionaires. I have picked my spot, and Aliko Dangote is a number down. In the Igbo Nation, the elders will say “onye kwe chi ya ekwe” [when one says yes, his personal god will also say YES). Walahi, I have been reading Forbes for ages, and I think my name will look nice on those pages. Congratulations to my peers; I crossed that 2023 because my “B” is still followed by a proper fraction; it needs to be a whole number.
