Ifeanyi Uba and Rochas richer than Atiku?

Op what of YARIMO and ALI MODU SHERIF?

..where all the people mentioned above have had dealings with the government (either directly or indirectly), it might suffice to say that they thus made their huge booty via such activities.
Thus Politics (in Nigeria) can be equated with organised crime! .. "authority stealing" by VIP'S (Vermins in Power).

In order to be on the list or to be counted among the richest in the world, you have to be able to reveal to the public the source of your money...This is why you will never see any Nigerian politician (like Tinubu, Jonathan, Shonekan, Obasanjo, Saraki, Okorocha, Orji Kalu, Dino Melaye and other thieves) on this list.
They will continue to hide their money, purchase cars and own abandoned houses all around the world, while 80% of the Nigerian population continues to search for food and how to make ends meet.

May be one day they will all get on a list of The World Greedy Blood Suckers.
