So why is Buhari missing in the list?

Because according to ipob miscreants, Buhari has been stealing right from when he was the head of states, ptf chairman and continue stealing now as the president. sad

According to ipob miscreants, he has houses scattered all over the world worth over trillions of dollars. Otherwise, how was he able to sponsor his children to school abroad? May be because "schooling abroad is more than his legitimate entitlement as a past head of states". grin

They say his ownership of multi trillion dollars property around the world is a top secret, but ask them how they come to know about these "top secrets", they insult the living daylights out of you down to your forefathers. sad

Aunty kemi should continue to lecture those illiterates. angry

No politician in Nigeria dead or live, richer than Abubakar Abdusalam.
I find it very hard to believe this? Why I quote you is because someone said this same thing yesterday. That man should be made to return what he stole.

But can you give me pointers to why he is the richest looter?

Lagos — The Justice Chukwudifu Oputa Commission of inquiry probing human rights violations in the country was treated yesterday to amazing details of how the General Abdulsalami Abubakar regime allegedly pillaged the economy, siphoning several billions in both local and foreign currencies, including $40 million contributed by multinational companies for the late General Sani Abacha's self-succession bid.

Testifying before the Commission, former head of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI), Brigadier-General Ibrahim Sabo (rtd.) alleged that the primary aim of seizing power by military men was to steal money. He said that immediate past Head of State, "General Abubakar manifested high propensity of looking for money and grumbled loudly any time he did not get his wish."

Politicians are people who play active politics and also hold public offices either by election or by appointment. Who are the top 10 richest politicians in Nigeria today? It's a question that is most asked among Nigerians, and most especially, asked by the Nigerian youths.

Politicians are very important people in the world based on the responsibility they take up. They regulate the constitution, draft rules, place and manipulate the government policies, influence decisions of sister nations directly and indirectly, and lastly, they maximize and leverage the natural and material resources in a nation. Politicians are professionals in the field of politics.


Whatever the situation maybe,it's now crystal clear that politics in Nigeria is more lucrative than oil business.

Would you classify these Nigerian richest politicians among the top billionaires in Nigeria like Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola e.t.c who we know are got their wealth through business and investments or rate them among the corrupt leaders in Nigeria who continually drain the economy of Nigeria at the expense of the suffering masses just to be wealthy.

It is a given that once a politician becomes elected and resumes in the office he is elected into, in little time he or she would amass wealth. A lot of individuals accuse politicians of theft of public funds.

Whatever the case could be ,the fact still remains that a number of these politicians rank high on the list of the richest persons in Nigeria and the reason why this is so has been stated.

Obasanjo is very rich. He and Atiku produced some billionaires, while also making themselves billionaires.

Their era shrank our middle class.

No politician living or dead is as rich as either Obasanjo or Atiku.
