RuudVanNisteroy:

The article mentions what he was earning at Mobil:

"At the time, Tinubu’s take home as a Mobil Oil Nigeria executive was a mere $2,400 a month and he claimed not to have any other revenue streams. Yet he still managed to deposit $661,000 into his individual money market account in 1990 and then another $1,216,500 a year later. He also opened more accounts with Citibank in its worldwide personal banking unit, transferring over half a million dollars from his First Heritage money market account into one of them in early 1991."

https://www.thedailybeast.com/nigerian-pres-svengali-tied-to-heroin

$2400/month is $1200 per pay period which is consistent with the minimum wage of about $7.50 at that time.

Mobil executive sounds like a janitor who cleans the office at night claiming he is an executive, who some how makes the minimal wage of $1200/per check.

He needs to give lectures at Harvard and Oxford on how he became a billionaire who owns bullion vans and a private jet.

There’s no evidence that Tinubu was ever indicted for any crime.

Did he inherit wealth from family member after making minimum wage in Chicago? No, and no.

Do you seize $460k from an innocent man?
No.

Infact, Tinubu ran away, and didn't go for the proceedings.

How much is $460k in naira? About #175 million, on the 1980s, and about half a Billion at today's rates. And he left all that money to run for dear life?

How innocent?

When you are not convicted or charged with any crime, it means you are totally innocent.

Judge didn't dash him money. Forfeit means, the judge forced Tinubu to loose the money.

This same OP never tires from same hopeless bullshit.

He has never been able to prove there was a conviction despite all his years of wailing over the matter.

In fact, the same evidence he provides is the one that make many realise how profound human idiocy can be.

Ask him to show you evidence that Tinubu was tried for a drug offence, and he will disappear to go dig up more dirt but return empty handed with a token newspaper article that does not substitute for a court case.

Another question he has never answered is why the Judge awarded the larger portion of the money back to Tinubu.

The same Tinubu that strolls into the USA as he likes without having to wait for a presidential party ticket as an excuse to visit America.

Since OP will not be cured of his shameful ignorance, I can only pray that he finds more aimless work to tie himself down.

"Though even here, the ex-diplomat admits, Tinubu’s good governance has been clouded by controversy. “He established a company to do the tax collecting in return for a cut and, at one point, Tinubu and Fashola appeared to be splitting over the percentage of Tinubu’s cut.”

Many have realised your problem should not be their own life problem, and have abandoned you to your delusions whenever you remember to amuse yourself with this same story.

The lucky thing for you is that you can continue to amuse yourself under the cover of anonymity.

Dem born you well to publicly identify with your embellished claims? Can you withstand the legal scrutiny?

Continue to amuse yourself, while always failing to answer the most significant of questions on the matter.
