I have my sources. But this is just the tip of the Iceberg. All elite in Nigeria are married to each other especially in the North where oligarchies dominate

Col. Sani Bello, who is the current chairman of MTN and amni oil and gas and also former governor of Kano state son's are married to Dangote and abdulsalam abubakar (former head of state)
Sani zangon daura, former minister of Agriculture is married to Yar'adua's younger sister.

Nice list!

I bet there are so many marriages simply because they move in the same circles and share the same interests. There will doubtless be some that were planned to cement alliances, but I doubt if its really something like the ticket to join the oligarchy club.

All this north, west, east, niger delta, christian and muslims BS - is all fake but its easier for common folks to associate ethnicity and religion with everything that happens in Nigeria, and of course is used by elite in the country.

when you have money- it doesnt really matter where your from.
Go to Abj or Lagos London Yankee dubai sef you'll see all their pikins dating eachother regardless of being yoruba hausa igbo or Ndeltan.

- I likes dat tho- to many idiots in Nigeria to fuk up your family stuvs- thats what youre suppose to do run with people who have similar interest.

i wonder how good life feels when u have a lot of zeros in your account?

^^ it feels good obviously

na today?

didnt abiola have wives from every part of the country.

likewise obj.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in being an elite, My problem is BECOMING A PARASITIC ELITE.

The names you outlined are elites some are Parasitic and some are non Parasitic.

The populace sometimes kill off the NON PARASITIC elite and the PARASITES have a feild day. We can fight the Parasitic elite by realigning our self.

To do this we have to keep on repeating what we want even though we fill we are not heard.

People that are Enemies of Nigeria on Nairaland are given a blank cheque to fire hate salvo at Nigeria and Nigerians, yet they expect our men and women to die for Nigeria?

^^ wetin u dey yarn

The corruption gene runs in all of their veins, need to break the cycle

OK
