Forbes Africa denies releasing Nigeria's Top 20 Richest Men list

There was a top 20 Richest Men in Nigeria list that made the rounds
online last week purportedly released by Forbes. I'm sure some of you saw
it. I didn't put it up because I searched Forbes' website and didn't find
it there. I eventually found the originator of the list - a blog called
Strategic Business Team . Anyway, Forbes Africa wanted to clear the air
and have released a statement. Find it below...
