REVEALED: How I Made My Money, Fathered 30 Children - Atiku by Everfrank(m): 12:13am On Oct 02, 2014
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has revealed how he made his money and also built a house for his mother at the age of 15.

Atiku, who is one of the presidential aspirants in the All Progressives Congress, in his new book titled ‘My Life’, which he authored, said he bought a mud house for her mother in Ganye, Adamawa State.



He gave the explanation under chapter six of the book, entitled ‘Making Money’.

He said he recognised very early in life that he had a good nose for business and this made him to apply for and obtained a Federal Housing loan.

The loan, he said, which amounted to N31,000, was the equivalent of his salary for five years as a customs officer.

He said, “I was granted a plot of land by the Gongola State Government at Yola Government Reserved Area. I hired a foreman and began building my first house.

“With close personal supervision, the bungalow was completed on time and to my taste. I rented it out immediately.

“The rent I collected in advance on the house was substantial enough for me to purchase a second plot. I built my second house and rented it out.

“I continued to plow back the rent into the building of new houses and within a few years, I had built eight houses in choice areas of Yola. I also built a new house for my mother and rebuilt the old mud house I bought for her in Ganye when I was a 15-year-old student.”

The former Vice President said property investment could be rewarding, because, according to him, returns on it could also be high depending on the location.

Kaduna, for instance, he added, was a good place to invest in property before the emergence of Abuja.

He explained that he built his first house in Kaduna with the rent he made from other property and that later, he bought six more plots and built residential houses and rented them out to individuals and institutions.

Atiku also added that of all the businesses into which he would venture, he listed what he described as a small oil services company as the most successful and most lucrative.

Story for the gods. . .

One thing about Customs officers' corruption is that it often has no paper trail, since it is mostly cash and carry (rather than direct treasury looting or contract inflation) ...which makes the money easy to launder and justify with cöck and bull stories like this.

Virtually all top Customs officers are billionaires anyway, so Atiku matter no be today.

Each time Atiku tries to sound smart, he ends up disgracing himself. He mortgaged his salary for 5 years to build a house? What was he living on before tenants started paying?

How low can this fool go? Its not ok to loot us dry..... he had to rub it in with these tales by moonlight.
Can someone remind me when Intels was a small servicing company? Atiku had to indirectly fund the insurgency at the peak of ND militancy which made his Intels facilities inevitable for the IOCs. Atiku single handedly influenced the customs rates of at his jetty which makes it uneconomic for non-oil and gas businesses.
These old criminals should just shut up and pray for death.

I think APC should try and persuade this Atiku to drop his Presidential ambition ....
There is this 'something' about him that doesn't just sound right.

And another question is: " can he be trusted?" "Will he decamp back to PDP after the Primaries?"

It is easy to tell stories of little beginning when you are wealthy and also easy to boast of fallen fortune when u r poor.

I will look for his book and buy.It will make an interesting read.
How many Nigerian billionaires have written a book on how they made
it from grass to grace? Obasanjo we all know is a billionaire,can he tell us
how he made those money? Tinubu is also a billionaire but he will never
tell us how he made those money.

Kudos to Atiku to have braved it to write a book on how he made it in life.

There is something to learn from it.The only area i do not support him is in
his harem of children.Haba!where is family planning for heaven's sake.

I read one of Atiku's interviews where he gave reasons for having many children.

He said his mother had two children viz himself and his senior sister.He said he didn't
have anybody to play with except his sister.Most of the times he always felt lonely,therefore,
he vowed his own children will not suffer the same fate.He started producing and breeding children
front right and centre.

I remember reading somewhere during the time Atiku was VP that the government allocated over 200 security personnel to guard and protect just his family and I wondered why his family needed that amount of security for. 30 children?!! Now I know why! I don't buy the story he told about building other properties from "rent money". Did his tenants pay him 30 years advance? Any Nigerian who has ever been to Apapa wharf knows how Atiku and his fellow Custom officers made their money.

zendy: Any Nigerian who has ever been to Apapa wharf knows how Atiku and his fellow Custom officers made their money.
I know a LOT about that, but no need for details. Suffice it to say that some of the top dogs in Apapa and other 'juicy' Customs area commands make millions in cash DAILY. The main ogas there are probably as rich as some governors, believe it or not. Atiku was certainly a billionaire long before he became VP. . . .courtesy of the Nigerian Customs Service. He was the Comptroller of Apapa Wharf Area Command as far back as 1982. To put things in perspective, Apapa Wharf always generates more money quarterly than most states receive as annual allocations. That tells you all you need to know.

I read an old foreign newspaper article sometime ago about Atiku's turbanning as Turaki Adamawa in 1982, and how the Yola Airport was overrun with private jets and chartered planes by dignitaries attending the ceremony. Pity I can't find that article anymore. No be today the man begin thief money.

Obj Ke? He made his money during his days as a custom officer before he became vp.

I like him sha because He is the only Thief cum Politician that invested heavily in Nigeria unlike other polithiefcians that launder our money in foreign banks.
He has several Businesses scattered all over Nigeria which includes
Adamaplast (plastic company)
Faro water and juice
Abti American university/pry/secondary sch
Printing press
Gotel TV and radio station
Highest investor at Onne port
Processed tomato company
Etc... Atiku was a Thief with class.

30 children that 30 votes guaranteed, he build his first house with 31000 and build a second house with the rent. i don't know how that is possible because from the little experience i have for property investment. average rent is 5%-15% of the price of the house thus the rent will not be more than 4000, assuming interest of 2% on the loan and 30 years payment plan thus he will be paying the government more 3000 every year so did expect us to believed that he build the second house with less than 1k

Sir, do you know the meaning of mortgage? It means he has to pay back part of the loan monthly for a specified number of years.
