Jonathan was asked to state how much he owned, he said "I don't Give A Dam". Now the OP is tagging a fictitious $100 Million to him - who is deceiving who now?

OP where did you factor:
- The stolen $20 billion?
- How about N1.2 trillion paid in excess above the approved budget for Subsidy in 2011 alone?
- Where did you calculate the Millions Emeka Ofor is generating for his wife through South East EEDC portion of PHCN?
- Was the Police Pension loot included?
- How about Budget inflation and Contract kickbacks?
- And please subtract the $9.3 million trapped in South Africa. It was not successfully lodged into the Offshore Account.
- And remember that a lion share of the $1,000,000,000 loan collected recently will one of the offshore accounts.

Anyway, since the day of "I Don't Give A Dam" it has been very difficult keeping track of all the Lodgement of his loots.

talkintruth: waiting for someone to comment on GEJ

Yes, here is mine.
According to the above figures, GEJ is the biggest thief of the lot; while it took most of them several years to amass their ill gotten wealth, GEJ is the Usain Bolt among them, well ahead in setting the looting speed record @ $100M in 4yrs = $25M per year (a conservative estimate by all accounts) at that rate he'll be contesting with Bill Gates in no time - its no wonder he doesn't see stealing as corruption.
