Obasanjo was a broke man when he was released from prison and asked to become president in 1999. Where did he get $700m from? He even had the guts to write unprintable stuff about Atiku in his book. Nigerian politicians are some of the worst in the world.
All nigerian presidents are thieves the difference is obj stole with conscience from
a thriving economy compared to the heartless hardened criminal presidents the apc has produced.

It's called Goodwill capital investment, Obasanjo is both a military and political collussus in Nigeria and Africa, Investors can pull resources together under his guidance and administration because of the enormous goodwill and clout he possesses

Most businesses are going through multiple taxation in Nigeria especially FCT. Environmental, fumigation, certification of fitness of your premises, tenement rate, sign board, television tax all under the council areas. Then you pay to FCT HHSS, pay annual license of your private facility to your regulatory council, pay your personal license, pay for your professional development etc. The worse is the local government people that extort money without carrying out the fumigation, or the certificate of fitness without doing anything or environmental that extort money without carrying out the waste. There has to be a way to regulate these multiple taxation in order to encourage small scale businesses.
Tou have a point 👉 👈

You are very ignorant. Zero sense of financial valuation.

No farmer in USA or Europe is worth $700m. Not to mention Nigeria.
You are talking about farmers who farm maize, groundnuts or even poultry. Where will they see $700m. It's usually between $50 to 300m
Eiyah!

And you somehow believe a former President of Nigeria has no other investments? Or you're dense enough to assume Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo cannot pull the weight of his life's portfolio to attract outside investments into a prospective business venture?

You're clearly in the cluster of slow thinkers who need everything written in black and white for them.

You with a heightened sense of financial valuation, I see you😂!

Oho....ask him. Where did he get such money. Someone who was broke in 1999 suddenly became a trillionair.

There are leakages in our leadership mantle. And it needs to be plugged.

Secondly, going to invest such money outside our shores is a testament to insecurity in the Land which is not safe for investment or doing businesses.

Nigeria needs to curb herdsmen serial attack and terrorism to provide good environment, also good economic policies in order to give investors confidence to invest.

These are signs that investing in Nigeria especially agriculture isn’t all that safe giving to the fact of rampaging herdsmen and destruction of farmlands.


The report says through his Agro Allied Business. He could have shareholders and investors. The money necessarily doesn’t have to be his.
The issues of insecurities on the farm that the political, traditional and elite class seems not to be interested is a major cause.

Remembered few years ago when we left school, a friend served in NB at ibadan during his NYSV, one of the top executives gave him a special seeds of maize to plant, that Nigeria brewery will buy them after harvest. He tried his luck on about 5plots of land for like two years. He became a big shot from farming. The 3rd year, he ventured into more large scale by borrowing money, acquired more hecters of land in Ekiti state. He even planted special plantain suckered worthy millions.

Behold aboki carry cow enter this farm. Within a day the whole farm turned to desert. This is more than 15yrs, this guy never recovered.

That was the part I responded to in my previous post where I pointed out to you that even if he had 100 shareholders, he is still the majority shareholder. So where did he get the money even if his share is just 50mn?


It's obvious the lights are out in your head so don't worry.
How do you know he’s the majority shareholder? Is his company listed on the Nigerian Stock Market? Are you a shareholder or investor to have such knowledge of him being highest shareholder?

This exactly is what’s discouraging many people from investing in Agriculture in Nigeria.

I’ll rather go to Benin Republic or Togo get farmlands and start Agriculture there than do in Nigeria and let some cows destroy my life work.

I can easily export the produce from Benin Republic to Nigeria and other West African states.

Really, hustle with what? if he has 700 million dollars to invest in a country, that means he has at the list 3 or 4 times of that, but his name is not in forbes.

You can't tell me he huzzle to make that money, even you speaking don't have 10 million dollars.

What was the state of his ota farm when he left prison and was handpicked to become president? This is obviously part of the 19 billion dollar electricity project funds he stole.

can u farm or invest in farming currently with fulani? My uncle a multi billion farmer and a retired military man like obj was killed on Tuesday by fulani. They shot at his leg, he was running to his car to pick his gun, they ran after him and used cutlass on his head. No sensible person want to invest in farm in Nigeria with fulani acting above the law
Good lord ! What did I just read ? Sorry about your uncle . What a gruesome act that is . God must surely pay back hose who carried out such barbaric act before this month runs out.. My condolences to his loved ones..
