Tinubu was a mere drug and money launderer in the US, he is now the richest ex-governor in Nigeria.

I don't believe the school of thought that he made his billions from drugs.
I think Tinubu made his billions fleecing Lagosians, either way he made his billions through criminal activities.

then u dont know tinubu@ all. He made his money the same period as MKO and had assets since then so he isnt a newbie to the game

There's nothing spectacular about this set of evil and selfish leaders you mentioned sir,they all have impoverished the various states they have been entrusted to govern,how many of them pay minimum wages,how many of the said states can afford to pay salary consecutively?

We are talking of Rochas as a rich man at 23 and some were here above 30 ranting in support of some political leaders that they never even being to his home state to see how well he has govern them not to talk of meeting him once.
God will help our youths.

It's amazing how some gullible folks try to convince us that Tinubu's mother was very very rich and as a result he inherited her wealth. Liars liars, pant on fire.

wrong bro, last two elections in abia state alone had two billionaires who aspired for governorship there; uche samson ogah of master energy group and alex otti of diamond bank. Previously regan ufomba of regan group which include regan(cement). So the rich also wants power.

Who dash Udom... He was just a comfortable millionaire before he became governor of Akwa Ibom State.

U don't even know Udom, where was he when Akpabio appointed him as Secretary?

Fear North

The fear of the North is the beginning of wisdom, prosperity and actualization.

Even Rochas has a link to them.

most d northern billionaires also have links to d south. intact 80% of them do for their money is originally from OIL.
People like ex-VP Atiku Abubaka and idimini still own oil blocks n the south east and south.

If his mum was rich why was he dealing drugs in Chicago? He doesn't belong to the Madam Tinubu family of Lagos anyway.

You didnt add Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, He declared an asset of N19 Billion before he became governor

. A medical doctor? Not suprise, maybe his wealth was from the oil-rich Delta state during the reign of his cousin Gov. James Ibori btw '99-'07. So mr. man investigate well!

Was Tinubu a millionaire before becoming governor?
He is now the wealthiest land owner in Nigeria, how come?

. That's why he is the ASIWAJU of LAGOS. so u can be a billionaire if u take a bold step to invest in REAL ESTATE.

Udom was an executive director in Zenith Bank before his appointment. Did he declare being a billionaire?

. Yeah, if it were '99-2007 set then Orji Uzor Kalu would have been a worthy mention. I am aware of his generous financial contributions/Donations toward the funding of the then ruling political party, PDP as at '98 prior to the return of democracy in '99.

all these billionaires have shady pasts.. @OP forgot to add that Rochas Okorocha used to drive one former VP of Nigeria back in the US as a Private Driver.. just like one Julius Berger Truck Driver now turned Billionaire and owner of Chrome Energy grin

the lies these businessmen tell - what of Cosmos Maduka... let me guess - he used to sell spare-parts abi! grin

Re: 5 Governors Who Were Already Billionaires Before They Assumed Office by tufur24(m): 7:32am On Apr 15, 2016

Rochas was broke when he ascended the seat of Governor. Sani Bello owns a popular Oil company. Ami or So. will get the name later. But be careful, billionaire and millionaire no b d same oo.

izospindle:
this rochas story does not make sense lots of missing links i think i will stick to the 419 alas political thug story

Rochas is one of the biggest property owners in Abuja. He sold the local government association headquarters in Abuja to them. If I recall very well, wadata Plaza was bought from him.
