Names Of Top 10 Nigerian Leaders And Politicians With Questionable Wealth by Justcash(m): 2:02am On Jul 18, 2017
1. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida - There is no way on earth that this man could have been a billionaire from the salaries that he earned as a Nigerian military official and as a military head of state. He is currently a billionaire, how did he become so rich?

2. Olusegun Mattew Aremu Obasanjo - A combination of his salaries as a military official, military head of state, two times president of Nigeria and a notable career as a farmer couldn't have made this guy a billionaire. This guy is so rich that he owns a billion dollar library in Ogun State. Can someone please tell me how this guy became a billionaire overnight?

3. Atiku Abubakar - This guy's enormous wealth remains unexplained till date. He has no known source of wealth, but he boasts of building investments from the thin air. How did he make his money?

4. Bola Ahmed Tinubu - This guy is one of the richest politicians in Nigeria at the moment. Yes, he was an influential socialite and a renowned politician, but can someone point out how this man became stupendously rich that he commands billions in investments and cash?

5. Orji Uzor Kalu - This one is the most surprising. He emerged from no where and is now controlling billions in investments e.g. Slok. How did this dude make the money that he is commanding?

6. Abdulsalami Abubakar - Apart from his short stint as the head of state, he is relatively unknown to Nigerians. How did this man become a billionaire? How did he make the wealth that he is flaunting with reckless abandon?

7. Dino Melaye - This guy is well known for showing off exotic cars, houses and foreign trips. He is very wealthy. How did he make his money? Can anybody explain?

8. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi - This dude was the governor of Rivers state. He is currently the minister of transportation. He is known to be very wealthy. In fact he flaunts wads of dollars and shares them with ease. He was said to be behind the funding of Buhari's campaign. How the heck did this dude make all the money that he is spending?

9. Rochas Okorocha - This guy is very wealthy. Yes, he is renowned for his social contribution before becoming a governor. How did he make his money. What is the source of his wealth?

10. Peter Odili - This guy is living a very quiet life at the moment, but it is obvious that he is wealthy. He is known for his wealth and investments. How did he make the billions that he owns?

Politics is indeed a dirty game. What happened to Anehih, uduaghan, ibori, igbinedion, Akpabio, IBB? So APC men stole at state level more than PDP men at the fed level? Keep attacking APC like a hate-robot. APC supporter will retaliate and in the end the real crooks will walk free.

Remove Orji Uzor Kalu from that list...he was already a billionaire at age 30 before becoming governor. Owned Slok before he became governor. Did he steal government money as Governor? Of course but he was already made and had income source. If he didn't become governor, no doubt he would have been like the Adenugas and Dangotes.

Akpeteshi is allowed. Tinubu worked in Mobil USA for a substantial period. He was also the one that funded nadeco. Aside that his mother was the iyaloja of Lagos so what are you saying undecided

This has nothing to do with political affiliation. Majority of the people that I mentioned were in PDP. So, take a chill pill and face the main issue. How the heck did they become billionaires?

Ok, let's say Tinubu earned $1million per year in ExxonMobil USA for 50 years (Which is highly unlikely), he would have earned $50million at the time he stopped working there. How did he make the money to fund NADECO? How did his mother being a local champion help him to become a billionaire? How did he make his billions?

Now, this is the problem with the Nigerian masses. You left the message and you are attacking the messenger. If you look well, you are one of those motor park touts groaning in absolute poverty and about to be consumed by blind followership. I did my investigation. All those men became "Billionaires" overnight. Prove me wrong.

That is not the question. Yes, he became a billionaire before 30. How?

You didn't know his mother was a billionaire? His mother loaned him money at age 21, and he started trading palm oil from East to the North and South West. At 25, he was the largest producer and distributor of palm, vegetable, olive, Avacado, canola and other oil sources out of the East to the North and Sub Sahara Africa. Not only was he producing and distributing cooking oil, foreign cooking oil producers enlisted his business to help market their products across Africa. At age 29, he ventured to furniture importation business, where he made his billions. He was the only known major furniture importer into the country in 1989, and by early 90s, he had established and built the largest furniture assembling warehouse in Nigeria. That won him billions worth of contract to furnish government offices, embassies, including the presidential villa in Lagos. That's how he got to the corridor of powers, to have personal relationship with IBB.

Who was it that was asked to name 5 richest Nigerians, and he started with Orji Uzor Kalu before he named Dangote and Adenuga. Orji Kalu is a gifted, aggressive, shrewd business man like Ifeanyi Ubah whom should have never gone into politics in the first place. Had he stayed out of politics, considering what Obasanjo did to his Slok airlines, an airline business he founded before becoming governor, he would have been in the same league as Dangote in terms of industrialization. Do you think it's easy to own airline business at age 37? With over 10 airplanes plying the across Africa? Ask MKO Abiola the huge capital required for airline business...excess of $200 million dollars in the 90s. Orji Kalu is not a small boy oh. His problem is that his businesses are scattered all over Africa, Europe, Asia especially UAE/Dubai and South Korea; which is why he is not known in Nigeria as much. He is the owner of First International Bank Limited in Gambia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Bostwana, Namibia, Kenya and other African countries. He owns one of the tallest towers in Seoul, South Korea, and one of the best hotels in Dubai. He is the current owner of Sun News paper, Slok oil, Slok Farms, and several other companies

@op. This list of yours is very small.

Do not be deceived all our leaders from 1960 have questionable wealth.I mean all,from the local government chairman to the president.
Both elected officials and political appointees.
