Nothing here.

Happy father in a hurry to snap with his daughters .

His late wife was my elder sisters friend in allied bank far back before they got married and Orji was young and very super rich that my sister wondered how he got so much money and influence at that young age.


Warning her friend ifeoma to be careful though .

They both got married and ifeoma had a domestic accident which injured her and she became unstable and later flown to Maryland in USA where she was with her kids too.


She eventually came back but died anyways. May her soul rest in peace.

Orji is still my younger brother's godfather, Orji himself maybe bad as a governor of abia which I believe he regrets and has decided to serve his senatorial zone with dexterity, he is doing well as a senator. He loves his bende and ogboo people so if I am to speak, I will say he has used this opportunity to redeem his self in service.


Personally , you can't meet Orji and not like him , he is very charming and has charisma .

You may not like him politically but personally,you will not meet him and not like him and he is very hospitable .


I don talk my own finish

Yea, he actually sounds likeable.

Fairly said even if I am not sure that all of them did (Hitler for example did not touch Switzerland for financial reasons), and as a fellow Fascist, this could benefit a Franco. A Mao was never going to store things abroad when he was shutting down China. Saddam at odds with the west could not. Neither can Kim Jung Un - North Korea in the past actually had to resort to extreme measures some of which have included the printing of fake USD. Suharto famously had $9 billion of his stash traced from Switzerland to Austria. And so on and so forth.

The summary of the reason African leaders in particular will store funds abroad is because of the weakness of African systems and the fact that the countries are so undeveloped that they feel they cannot access the height of global society, global investment, global power and global luxury in such backwaters.

Yeah. I guess, plus infrastructure. If you rely on hospitals outside your country, it makes sense to stash funds there! (Of course, you could just build a decent hospital in your capital, but hey, we're Africans!)

DeepSight:
All I can say is that today, one does not need any gold palaces or villas in France. What can be hidden in cryptocurrency alone speaks enough.
Talking about examples, if I had those examples ready with evidence, that would defeat the point, dont you think?
Nevertheless the sort of back-hand/ scratch my back and i scratch yours - deals which often pop up with Trump, the Bidens, the Clintons and the self same Sarkozy - speak alot.

In the issue of "Liberation Day" and Tarriffs, Trump was openly boasting in the Oval Office about how many of his friends made billions of dollars in a few days. That speaks very loudly. I do note however, that you already mentioned he may be an outlier.

Yeah, it would. But I was talking about credible suspicion - like, everyone knows the fellow at the hilltop in Minna stole a lot, even far more than Abacha. But that's all there is to it: everyone knows.

Also note that from my first response, I've been concerned mainly about issue of stashing funds abroad: that's what I'm theorizing to be a (mainly) African disease. I theorize thus because even the worst dictators from outside the continent (Stalin, HItler, Franco, Mao, Than Shue, Suharto, Saddam, Xi Jipin, Kim Jung-un, Erdogan, Maduro, Lukashenko, Nyazov [Turkmenbashi], etc.) kept/keep it mostly within their countries.

DeepSight:
It may be natural that because the third world has weak institutions one may see it more here, or more openly here, but don' be decieved, it happens everywhere to varying degrees. The advanced European simply has evolved more sophisticated ways around things. If a US President happens to have $1 Trillion, believe you me, not only will nothing ever be heard of it, but the layers and smokescreens will be enough to confuse Satan himself.

Maybe. But in 2025, it's really hard to hide gold palaces (like Putin) or houses in France (like some African leaders), even in layers of shell companies. Western politicians tend to be under the PRESS spotlight, and Trump, who seems an outlier, may get his comeuppance yet. There's always the risk of being caught and what you stand to lose. Even in France, a very tolerant society where Sarkozy would have got away with it if he was found to have a chain of mistresses, bribery is too much.

Are there examples of Western leaders even rumoured to be neck-deep in lining their pockets and stashing funds in Swiss accounts? Not talking of county-level politicians in Spain and elsewhere (many of who are in jail anyway), but national-level players?

A Nigerian man, Belano, has revealed that he was earning N30,000 monthly salary as a school principal and teacher while dating his American wife. The father of one who has since joined his wife in the US, disclosed this via his X handle on Thursday.

“When she came to visit the school I was teaching. I was a principal of this private school teaching Maths, Physics and further Maths. My salary was 30,000,” he wrote. Giving details on how he financed his wedding on meagre salary, Belona said he used his savings while some friends also contributed to the ceremony, in cash and kind.

“Beautiful wedding didn’t cost us 500k bro. I wanted to sell my phone to buy ring then, one of my friends here on x told me not to, he gave 50k I used that 50k to buy suit and ring for her! The ring peel after 3 weeks . She still has it now sha even though I have bought better ones. Decoration was done by friend and the hall was free. We invited just few people even though some family members still brought people we didn’t invite. Food was organized by family and some savings I have done. I didn’t spend 300k for the wedding!,” he added.

This is beautiful. Love is a beautiful thing. I wish them well.

DeepSight:
There is a truism here. The Forbes list only accounts for those whose money can be openly and legitimately accounted for, and if they so wish.
In truth, everywhere in the world, political leaders alone often stash away FAR FAR FAR FAR greater amounts than one can find on any Forbes List.

I will never forget what was found in accounts related to Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. That alone put a lie to any "richest man" list you can find published anywhere.

And he was nothing compared to a Putin for instance - who is probably the richest man in the world.

Seems to be an African disease though, with Putin being the major exception in recent times. The Stalins and Hitlers and Musolinis were always more interested in ideology and bloodshed than stashing funds away. Even the Saddam Husseins and Saudi princes mostly keep it within their countries.

johnmartus:
Taribo should stop talking nonsense none of you play for Nigeria for free and you forget the opportunity it was created for you in outside Nigeria?

Don't be ingrate many of your mates were disappointed when you were narrowly picked to play for Nigeria.

I think Mr Taribo would advice his son to play for a socialist country. Maybe North Korea. He won't get paid, but he'll be looked after when he's old and when he's dead.

Yeah, we should be going for better ones. But these are private cameras, I believe, not government ones, so you can't really do anything about it.

Customary law is still law isn't it?

Customary law is only binding on natives who willingly subject themselves to it. Besides, no culture or custom, however couched, can supersede the constitutional right to dignity. They have no right to parade anyone who does not want to be paraded.

Why will he kill a protected animal. He should be jailed. Harming protected animals is a crime all over the world

Protected is different from sacred though. Totally different connotations. One is backed by law, the other isn't. Yeah, he shouldn't have killed it. When you live at a place, you should respect the culture. No, they have no right to "parade" him. He can sue them for that.

I know his father was governor. For 6 months or so. Other than that, just a regular person. I don't know that his grandfather was anything in particular.

Billionaire pikin...


Personally left to me I don't see any big deal about this cos even a brain dead billionaire pikin still has great advantage than the most brilliant student from the poorest home.


Stories that motivate me are stories of rags to riches not stories of billionaire pikin to billionaire.

For people who will come here to attack me, let me drop a quick one for u.

When we were young, we had a guy called Felix, he was so dull in school that he had F in all his subjects n we nicknamed him ozone layer.

As it was then, public schools were still very standard so Felix was told to repeat, all his father did was just send him to a private school n was part of PTA committee viam Felix finish secondary school.

The father being a big custom officer no waste time, Felix the ozone layer was sponsored abroad n today e get mouth pass we wey brilliant for class then.


Imagine someone who travelled abroad immediately after secondary school around 2007, imagine how much e go don make n how soft him go b by now.

Femi was a billionaire's pikin?

TV all day...

By the time poverty finish with the person he won't even have tv to watch.

All of the rest suggests the person is at least doing something to survive even if it's limited effort.

All day TV is just home all day watching TV with no attempt at even going out or hustling!

Most people don't watch TV all day. I mean even those who don't can still be caught up in this. Here's how it manifests: you watch TV/home videos/series till very late at night, maybe 2pm. The following morning, you either wake up late or too tired - so you don't achieve your objectives for that day. In fact, you put off some things till tomorrow. This goes on and you make less than you ought to be making.

“Oduduwa is the First Crowned King in the World” – Ooni of Ife Declares on Ilaji FM

History came alive on Saturday as the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, took to the airwaves of Ilaji 91.9 FM with a royal revelation – Oduduwa, the first Ooni of Ife, is the very first crowned king in the entire world! 🌍👑

The revered monarch described the throne of Ile-Ife as the origin of kingship, not just in Yorubaland, but globally. According to him, “The first Ooni, Oduduwa, was not only a leader but the first crowned king in the history of mankind.”

During the special broadcast, Kabiyesi showered praises on the Okanlomo of Yorubaland, Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi, for founding Ilaji Radio. He offered royal blessings, praying for the station to soar and become a beacon for Yoruba culture, heritage, and global influence.

When asked why he holds Ibadan so dear, the Ooni’s response was heartfelt: “Ibadan is my root. The first Ojaja was once a warlord in Ibadan. Lagelu, who founded Ibadan, came from Ile-Ife and was originally Agelu.”

The broadcast didn’t just inform—it inspired. Listeners described it as a masterclass in history, heritage, and the unbreakable bond between Ife and Ibadan. With Ilaji FM as the voice, Yoruba history is not only being preserved but also amplified for generations to come.

Hmm. And they were saying Oduduwa came from Egypt. Not knowing that Pharoah came from Ile-Ife.

I don't have to know you, to know how closer to devil you could be!

The very fact that you wanna play deputy jesus is enough red flag.

Like I said earlier, even you have your wars no matter how insignificant.
And there will always be wars in the world even if clerics were to rule the whole world. After all, Iran is run by clerics, yet they devoted all their resources to sponsoring terrorism all over middle east.

And calling mass murder mass murder = wanting to "play deputy Jesus". Hmm. I said you deserve a Nobel. Even if it's for wanting to play deputy devil.
