It is a pity that the minds of Nigerians have been so twisted that most of us believe that anybody that has held a position of authourity must embezzle and be rich!
This is not so as we still have Nigerians whose integrity is still intact! Eventhough Shan is entitled to her opinion, it goes to show how shallow-minded she is!

Obiagelli:

How rich is bill Clinton?
.

Very rich. You can check it up. Bill's office charges $1m to make appearance at events.

Remember he came to Lagos like last year or year b4 that (Eko Atlantic City thing or so) and there was furore regarding why Bill had to be paid such huge money to just appear.

It is not a good thing, because a man who cannot manage his resources nor invest properly, cannot manage that of a vast nation like Nigeria.
He borrowed money to buy his nomination form, he took a loan to build his houses.
Buhari will sink Nigeria into huge debts if he is given the chance.
...hmmm,what an illogical conclusion!

Why are so many Nigerian entertainers attention-seeking, materialistic and ill-exposed dullards? Does being a General and former head of State (and not "President" as this intellectually challenged entertainer wrote) automatically translate to the accumulation of copious wealth simply because this is the Nigerian way? Is Buhari not allowed to be like Thomas Sankara, Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa and many, many exemplary human beings who have no interest in material wealth yet are above reproach when it comes to selflessly and bravely doing what can benefit the advancement of their fellow human beings?

Has it occurred to this "money above everything" charlatan that Buhari, like many of the worlds most outstanding and influentially transformational men and women, may simply be ascetic in outlook? Sometimes I am ashamed of Nigeria and how we have made what is bad to be good while representing what is good and desirable everywhere else in the world to be a crime in Nigeria. Those who say "it is a crime to be poor in Nigeria" are correct because one feels this to be the case when a lot of Nigerians open their mouth to talk. No respect for the qualities Buhari has, which makes him godsent to Nigeria at this stage, yet focus is on his lack of wealth. No wonder Nigerians are reviled worldwide as a warped and aberrant people who worship money and material wealth above principles and human decency.

Very shallow statement. She makes it sound like being a general or a president should automatically shoot you into wealth. She is represents the rest of the entertainers wanting to go into public offices. They are just going there to loot and they cant even hide it effectively by acting honest. Actors that cant act to save their lives. No wonder they are leaving acting for other professions

I do not blame you and Shan George. Your mentality is so used to leaders who steal public funds to add to whatever pay they get from their salaries. Go to Europe and see past senior public administrators who still live in rented apartments on mortgage and take public transportation. With your mentality Nigeria will never attain it's millenium development goals. In your generation it's a crime not to enrich oneself from public coffers yet we say the youth should be allowed to take power from the older generation. It's a shame and you are a disgrace to the few right thinking youth of this country.

APC supporters apparently have made a vocation of deflecting germaine issues.

They have a penchant for shadow-boxing themselves to stupor instead of being objective.

Buhari in his archaic and outlandish ways went to town with the ruse that he has only a million naira as his bank balance. Meanwhile, it is out there in the public domain that Buhari receives about N22m monthly as an ex-Head of State.

Now, one would expect Buhari/APC supporters to explain the propriety of a man of Buhari's stature having only a million as balance after retiring as a Major-General in Nigerian army: pension or no pension.

Not even one person is trying to give a cogent explanation. They are busy trying to malign Shan George for daring to ask an honest question.

I tell you one thing: Sentiments might make you popular on social media, but they wouldn't win you elections.

My friend be sorry for yourself and your completely warped mentality.
Who says he needs to embezzle public funds to be wealthy?
If he is contented with what he has, why is he borrowing money to build houses and pick a nomination form?
Buhari has earned millions as general, north east governor, head of state, PTF chairman and he is still earning millions in pensions every year, yet no tangible investment to show for it.
It is either he is a liar or a very very poor manager of resources.

These are the type of Nigerians that prefer corrupt leaders instead of true and selfless leaders.

Must he have billions like the others. He wants to serve and not to embezzle.
Re: Shan George Blasts Buhari For Claiming To Be Poor by Nobody: 2:38pm On Dec 24, 2014
By the way , Shan George is right . A man who cannot manage his personal resources well will equally find it hard to manage national purse well , too . Wealth creation has more to do with foresightedness and passion for financial balance than been corrupt innate . Perhaps, if he had not used the catch phrase " I am poor " too much , I wouldn't have mind about his choice of lifestyle , financially saying . So , he should accept that he is a poor manager of capital resources thus his poor financial standing ( sic ) , instead of trying to make any successful investor from the military/political echelon out there to appear corrupt .
