[OUTRAGEOUS!] Alhaji Mohammed Indimi From "poor" Borno State, donated N4.2 billion to an American University with money made from deprived Niger Delta |
Often you hear in international media that the northern Nigeria is very poor, and states such as Borno State are the poorest. Such reports neglect the facts that there are many individuals in the northern states who holds virtually all the money in Nigeria, These are billionaires who have made money from oil wells in the Niger Delta. Alhaji Mohammed Indimi is one of such individuals. He is so rich, callous and inconsiderate that he brought out a whooping N4.2 billion naira to donate to the Lynn University in Florida, United States, while neglecting universities in his home state.
Forbes reports that Mohammed Indimi is the chairman and leading shareholder of Oriental Energy Resources, a privately held Nigerian oil exploration and production company he founded in 1990. Oriental currently has three projects offshore of Nigeria's Niger Delta region. Six of his children serve on the company's board. His net worth dropped from an estimated $670 million a year ago due to ongoing low oil prices.
Sunday Akoji has this to say about Alhaji Indimi: "Amouna and Hauwa, two daughters of Borno-born billionaire, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi graduated from the University of Lynn, in Florida.
[OUTRAGEOUS!] Alhaji Mohammed Indimi From "poor" Borno State, donated N4.2 billion to an American University with money made from deprived Niger Delta |
"Their joyous billionaire father donated a $14 million (N4.2 billion) complex named after him as Mohammed Indimi International Business Center to Lynn University as part of the activities of the University Commencement Day.
"This demagogue made his billions in Nigeria from oil wells his military dictator friend dashed him. He is the Chairman, CEO of Oriental Oil and Gas and he is reported as the tenth richest billionaire in Nigeria.
"The Borno-born billionaire, Mohammed Indimi has never ever donated a plastic chair to the University of Maiduguri or any university in the Niger Delta talk more of endowing a chair in any Nigerian university. But the irony is that he can afford to endow a chair and donate a $14 million complex to a US University, which by the way does not even need such gesture from him.
"Hundreds of internally displaced people in Borno state needs his Robinhood-like assistance from what he has stolen from the people. But whosai!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is how Nigerian elite underdeveloped Nigeria, with due apologies to Walter Rodney, the author of the book, "How Europe underdeveloped Africa."
"Yeye no dey smell again?"
Alhaji Ndimi's children are known to be fabulously wealthy and flamboyant. Ahmed, a son of his gained respect and notoriety after he posted his ATM balance of $100 million on social media.

Mohammed Indimi International Business Center- Lynn University
We want to provide our students the best opportunities possible. So when we designed the Mohammed Indimi International Business Center, we made sure to include lots of space for ingenuity, with incredible options for hands-on, technology-based learning.
Teaching more than 1,000 students from more than 70 nations, the College of Business and Management is the largest—and most international—college at Lynn University. So large, and so international, that it warranted having its own brand new building.
In October of 2014, Lynn dedicated its newest building, the Mohammed Indimi International Business Center, designed specifically to accommodate our growing College of Business and Management. The center is outfitted with technology systems to enhance the students’ educational environment, with 11 classrooms and a wealth of other areas including:
A Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI), developing skills in the creation and development of new companies
The Venture Lab, a branch of the CEI, which will transform students’ start-up concepts into ready-to-launch businesses
An Investment and Trading Room, providing access to the same resources and technology that students will use in their business careers
Beyond the Classroom, a space for students to enjoy hands-on learning and work on campus with outside companies
A new Career Preparation and Internship Center
In addition, more than 15 other new spaces provide conference and meeting areas for collaboration between students, faculty and outside corporations.
