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...
