what a stupid and daft article. If you are talking Naira billionaires, then virtually every governor is a billionaire as a billion naira is only $5m dollars, you will spend that much just be be a governor and if you are talking dollar billionaires then none of those five are dollar billionaires so what exactly is the point of this thread?

my broda abeg tell them o.. may dem hear. all na naira billionaires, none is dollar billionaire.

Incomplete list, udom, ayade etc were billionaires b/4 venturing into politics.

Thought Ayade was a lecturer in UI.

hok4u:
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State should be on that list, he works with the world bank before going into politics.


One Ekiti man besides me is mentioning Fayose too, that he made his billions from being an agbero and selling rice Congo or derika for oja oba in ibadan before he dabbled into politics.

Hi bro, please can you link me with an online source for the information that he worked with the world bank, or the job he did there? Thanks. His wikipedia page did not mention that. Please its urgent, i need it for research purposes.

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 he made his billions from drugs.
I think Tinubu made his billions fleecing Lagosians, either way he made his billions through criminal activities.

he worked in chevron b4 going into the senate.....google well
