 * Symbol question.svg Length, creation date, quantity and quality of references, and avoidance of close paraphrasing are all fine. Grammar, spelling, and capitalization need a slight bit of clean-up. It's unclear how the subject is a "Nigerian billionaire" when he has an estimated net worth of US$300 million. The "second richest king" fact in both hooks appears to be backed by included references but the fact itself is not directly cited. Also, in one sentence he is said to be the second richest king while in the next he is said to be the richest king. The "same car" fact is only loosely supported by the cited interview in which the subject states he drives a Bentley, a Rolls Royce, and a 7-door limousine. This does not establish what specific car the subject believes matches QE2's, only a few brand names, and does not establish what vehicle QE2 actually uses. - Dravecky (talk) 05:45, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your attention . The Nigerian currency is Naira and Nigerian that have a net worth of at least 1 billion Nigerian naira is a "Nigerian billionaire" . Subject of the article as a net worth of US$300 million, equivalent to 59655000000.0000 Nigerian nairas or 59.9655 billion naira. Yes, in one sentence he is said to be the second richest king while in the next he is said to be the richest king (it was a typo "second richest king and not richest king, I had corrected that statement). The previous hook in relation to Queen Elizabeth car has been changed, since the type of car is unclear, though it seems like a 2012 Rolls Royce. Concerns on grammar, capitalization and spelling had been address. If you come across any in the article, help to fix it per WP:SEP. Thanks! Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 07:06, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I've give the text a bit of a clean-up and it's ready to go but this green check is only for the first hook. I've struck the ALT1 as both improbable and impossible to prove without a much better source that quotes a Bentley representative directly. - Dravecky (talk) 21:28, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
