10. Paul Okoye – $10 million

Now known as Rudeboy, Paul Okoye is one of the most famous and successful music duo (PSquare) which split some years ago (2016 precisely).

He is married to Anita Osama and their Union is blessed with a son(Andre Okoye). The Musician himself was born on the 18 November, 1981, and has started singing since 2001 till date.

While he was still with his twin brother, Mr P, in their PSquare Duo, they were nominated and won so many awards like City Mag, Nigerian Music Awards, MTV Africa Music Awards, B.E.T Awards, and a lot more.

However, even after they split, Paul Okoye or Mr. P is estimated to worth around 10 Million Dollars. Now imagine how much they will worth if they were still together.

PSquare is known for hits like Danger, Chop My Money, Nobody Ugly, Beautiful Onyinye, Personally, Bank Alert, Bring It On, Away, Bizzy body to mention a few.

9. Peter Okoye – $10 million

The other one in the former PSquare Duo, Peter Okoye who we now know as Mr P. Since Mr P and Rudeboy are identical twins, they therefore share the same date of birth [18 November, 1981].

PSquare group was signed to their own record label (Square Records). They are known to perform with other reputable artistes like Akon, Sean Paul etc.

The duo signed an ambassadorship deal with Globacom which earned them a lot of money too. However, the deal has not been renewed since 2016.

Peter Okoye is married to Loretta Omotayo and their Union is blessed with two children, Cameron and Aliona Okoye.

Mr P is also estimated to worth around 10 million dollars, which is the same as his twin brother’s and former partner, Paul Okoye. This is because their assets were divided into two halves when they split.

Also, the former duo had a private jet in their name while they were still known as PSquare, but we do not know anything about it now. They have probably sold it and shared the returns too.

That’s the complete and updated list of richest musicians in Nigeria for you.

This article will give a list of Insurance Companies in Nigeria. All the names of companies contained in the list have been duly registered by the National Insurance Commission.

Insurance simply means management of future risks! I believe you got that straight. However, if you didn’t, watch out for the subsequent ones.

Insurance is a form of aids to trade, which helps in the provision of guarantee for unexpected situations. For example, a fire outbreak can occur at your restaurant just like the popular restaurant at Albuquerque, and you would spend less or even nothing in bringing your restaurant back to life. Certainly, that sounds funny. But, it’s actually real.

Insurance Terminologies

There are certain institutions which offer insurance services to individuals or firms, these institutions are called Insurance Companies. They are also called Insurers. That should definitely ring a bell. Oh, yes! That’s why you’re here.

On the other hand, the individuals or firms which receive insurance services and products are called the Insured.

Before you can begin to receive insurance benefits, you must have been paying a regular fee(either monthly, yearly etc) to your insurance company. This fee is known as a premium.

Therefore, if the unexpected happens, your Insurer will take care of a certain percentage of your loss/expenses.

There is a category of insurance known as Life insurance. To clarify, in Life Insurance, if the Insured dies, then a certain sum of money is paid to the family of the deceased or to a specified individual. This is known as a replacement cost.

However, these insurance products and services cannot be enjoyed by anyone if an agreement is not reached. This agreement is known as an Insurance Contract.

So, I will give you a list of Insurance Companies in Nigeria, which have been duly registered by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
