I too used to normally hear that seyi makinde is rich from Ibadan ppl
I can't believe Oyo state have a billionaire as governor
U guys are lucky

seyi makinde once said on radio that if he wants to collect something from abacha he will first go to al musapha before been redirected please reason that with me. the man got connections at a very young age.

WonderManly:
Wow! So, i think by next coming year 4yrs we should be expecting 4billion naira intrest. That is to say 1billion intrest per year. Brain and money no go kill person!

That is if if it doesn't turn to extra 50 billion Naira

lonelydora:


He's rich but not 50 billon

And im sure u av seen his account balance
Hmm
This same seyi makinde that popular politicians are afraid of because of his money
I'm sure seyi makinde is worth more than this
I know people who are close to him
Did u know seyi makinde donated his entire salary last month to pensioners?
Hmm,u never see anything

kolafolabi:
I swear if I have 1/10 of that, I won't contest for any political office. Politics is a dirty game.

This suggests that you see participatory politics as a money-making endeavour.

muyiwaadekunle1:


He left Shell to start up his energy and technical company at 29. I don't know much about his background but he's a well rounded educated fella. Unilag, MIT and other expensive executive courses abroad . Such a smart fella.

He is very smart guy bro.

And another thing l love about the guy is that he is not tribalistic. I know many guys from Southern part of the country that work with his company and they were sent for training in USA and South Africa. I just pray they allow him to deliver in Oyo state. I heard he pay workers and pensioners on 27th or so which is good start anyway.

Esseite:
How would Oyo state not grow when you have a billionaire with track record at 51 governing...

When a technocrat governs, the difference is clear...

Makinde - Oyo
Peter obi
Akwa ibom - udom
Cross river - Ben ayade
Anambra - obiano
Edo - obaseki
Kwara - Abdul raman
Ogun - dapo abiodun

Abeg commot Ayade for this list.... That dude don take Calabar back to stone age

Wehdone sir. He has atleast done what other governors didn’t do which is publicly declare his assets. He didn’t owe anyone that. He could say he’s worth 100billion and not declare his assets and no one would disturb him.
Be there abusing PDP. Which one are your APC people doing?

Can these assets be verified? We hear some people declare more than they have so that they can defend their loot many years later ....
It's all speculation thou

So his investment should not grow just because he is a governor... People self

Well-done sensible man... Which investment grows with such economic crisis within few years.. well-done once again

If Dapo Abioudun should declare his assets, the Internet will break. I'm just laughing at those that are claiming Makinde is currently not worth 50billion naira.
I've been following him for a while and I'm even surprised he is not worth about 200billion naira.

Just heard he worked with Shell

A brilliant one by Seyi Makinde. He has been taking the right steps since he took the mantle of leadership at the Agodi government house. This is leadership by example.
I hope he leads well.

Day169:
A laudable move by the Oyo state governor. In a country with It's political landscape dotted by opportunists and greedy people who are simply wolves in sheep's clothing, with a singular purpose to bleed further, an anaemic purse.
I'm yet to recall any governor who has done this in recent times (if any one ever has), even among the so called progressives who promised change.
At least it sets the yardstick for future Oyo governors and hopefully all other political office holders.
Still hoping and praying that Nigeria will change for the better in my lifetime.
Kudos to the governor!! Dont be fooled, his predecessor did same thing in 2011, but in 2019 when he was leaving, we heard stories of how aides transported huge money out of government house for him, and we dont even know whether he declared asset again when he was leaving.

Sufficient fund ....o bale pepe

post=80305937:

Lol!

You started your own hustling when you became old shey?

See Chief Spokesman of Seyi o!

Poverty na bastard sha!

You have said it all.
That is the gimmicks of all these politicans,
they will go get properties and investments of well to do people and declare it as theirs so when they start stealing no one will be aware, thinking they have declared their assets prior then.
But only fools and supporters of corrupt politicians whose future has been stolen can believe this.
Imagine what the criminals will sat if it was the president or vice president that declared this.
They would have been dying with wailing and peeing in their torn boxers.
Wailers go suffer, dem go tire!
Una never see anything yet.

It is good to still see some reasonable people on this forum.
You are a wise man.

And I used to think this person has sense o. I see you prancing around here shouting Buhari is our Messiah up and down. The same Buhari that promised to declare his assets publicly. Has he done so? How many addresses has he provided for us to check and verify?

I guess those who tell you to face your suya business know what they are saying after all. Until you can come up with proof that Seyi Makinde falsified his assets declaration, I will ask you to kindly shut da fvck up.

A politician tries to do right by his people, it's still the same people that will be vilifying him. You should be ashamed of yourself. If this were to be an APC politician you'll be jabbering from the mouth. I wonder how much APC pays you to be their internet warlord.

And double goes for all you stinking tribalists that litter Nairaland. Insulting him because you don't believe a Yoruba man can actually be a silent billionaire. Waka!

Seyi Makinde. You have taken a bold step. I have faith that you will restore Oyo state to its former glory of the Pacesetter State. Aji se bi Oyo laari, Oyo o se bi baba enikankan. Please hit the ground running. If you do amazingly well, I see the future president of Nigeria already, that is if Nigeria still exists in the next four years.
