The houses are being rented and wike is not a poor man. You can pretend all you want but that's your business. We know people like you, castigate people on social media and posturing to be a saint while you do despicable things in real life to survive. Which serving or fomer governor in Nigeria is a poor man? If your uncle or your father was governor, won't you pester him for contracts or humongous financial demands? Keep pretending, we are all Nigerians and we know ourselves.

There's no need to generalise. There are still Nigerians who don't steal or pilfer to survive. You shouldn't measure everyone by your standards. The fact that you have to generalise corruption in a bid to defend theft of public resources by your boss tells a lot about him and you his followers.
If I don't know at all, at least I know two Nigerian governors who did not live extravagant lives by stealing from their states. And there are still governors who made their private money before going into politics.

hopefully the properties are seized. Wike is a wicked soul

Help me please. Also help me answer if you would rather be 2 time governor of Rivers state or work as Bank manager.

Topical Nigeria question for question ⁉️


Just answer my question before asking me question ❓

A two time governor of Rivers state and minister of the Federal Republic cannot afford a house? Feed us intelligently na, abegggg. All these gist is mere distraction.

If happens to be Obi, you would sing a different song.

Hypocrites!

OsunOriginal:
If the salary of a governor is 11m per annum (everything inclusive) in 2024, how much do you think it would be in 2011? Definitely less. Let's even use the current structure and then use the usd rate in 2011 to convert to dollar, his 8 years salary, all together, is still less than 600kusd. This is assuming he didn't spend from his salary for the 8 years - which is also questionable.

You forgot all earnings of the names on the property. Then how you want to link it to Wike, and the place he probably "stole' from. Do you have these info, i'll shout and scream louder than you. Thanks. You think people who have less than 600k USD can be Rivers State governor in current republic Nigeria? You assume they have no source of income and are like the usual NYSC corps members? What i am saying is that you must prove, not just allege. Allegation is not enough with these guys. Even you can get documents for financial statements if you need them in Nigeria, not to mention the powerful and connected. So give something concrete, not just assumptions. There's no point rejoicing over nothing. Do you think a governor is a student looking for student visa?

DMerciful:
Let Wike's wife prove how she afforded three houses in cadh with he salary as a judge

Prove to who? Even you can get affidavit to prove what you want in Nigeria. Is it a Judge that cannot get documents? What are you guys really talking about? Ordinary student that wants to travel abroad can give bank statement in millions, what are you now saying about a rich and powerful family? Do you think politics at that level is for the poor?

themanderon:
What are their salaries that would afford them buying luxury houses in western countries?

Tell me. A high court whose husband has been almost everything in Nigeria cannot afford buying house in Western country. What are you guys taking, are you for real?

Arostar2023:
A two time governor is paid how much, legally? The money that was used to purchase the houses were they made in the USA or repatriated from somewhere else? I guess you don't know anything about money laundering, do you? Pray make them no remember am for that side.

You think people leave high school to become governor? Why didn't you or your lineage try it if it is so easy. People who run for governorship of RIVERS State are not middle class people. Do you understand Nigeria at all? Why are you guys talking like governors are poor in Nigeria? Do you know how much these people spend before they even win elections? You're now basing their financial capacity on something you read online? You need to prove money laundering, not just allege. Is it property or bank account that you think Wike cannot provide? Please be real. You need the prayers more than these guys.

Ykc2:
if a two terms governor can buy 3 houses worth millions of dollars in America then a 2 terms former president of America can buy nigeria .if we go by your logic,what is the salaries governors in nigeria? Is not that wike cannot buy 10 houses in America if he want but problem is where did get the money from?

Exactly, where did he get the money from. That is what you need to prove. Not telling me or acting shocked that Nigerian governors can afford houses. Are they corps members or something?

uniquetechng:
I have been to China three times, lived in Canada for 8 years where laws and respected and people who are found wanting are punished.
I didn't answer your question because you didn't answer mine, I asked you to explain how a civil servant in Nigeria could afford such property.
Even on a million naira a month salary he cannot such properties in 100 years, but here in Nigeria we celebrate corruption and make it look like a normal practice the political class will continue to loot our commonwealth for their unborn generations.

My dear, you lied or were ignorant about the constitution. That is the issue, not your life story. You said that our constitution says a political office holder should not own property or operate bank account abroad while in office. This was false. Nobody is celebrating him, just stating the obvious. You need to prove what you allege, instead of this waste of time on gists that have not in any way implicated Wike.

You are just speaking in parables. How much is the salary of a president per annu,m more so that of a governor, that would enable him to buy luxury properties in choice locations in the US? Just answer the question.

i don't know his salary, but i know that middle class people cannot win governorship elections in Rivers State in today's Nigeria. Help me please. Also help me answer if you would rather be 2 time governor of Rivers state or work as Bank manager?

Obi can afford those properties, there is no different song here. We should not be joking and wasting time on gists.

You think the US legal system is like Nigerian system that you can be easily tricked? Watch how events unfold.

Secondly, explain why you're defending criminality

You don't know his salary and you said in your previous post that wike can afford it

We dey Look una with Skyline R32 network 🛜

We are watching, there is nowhere i have defended criminality. i have simply stated the obvious. There is NOTHING implicating Wike in what Sowore posted. His name is not even there. Like i stated, it is not a crime to own property or foreign bank account. There is nothing to show that any property belongs to Wike. The houses also cost around 500k USD, not the 1million USD Sowore claimed. The same papers show they were bought before Wike was governor and it's not Wike's name. So where is your/Sowore's case here? Asking you reasonable questions is not defending criminality. Know this and know peace, your governors are very wealthy people. They were not private school teachers or corps members before running for office. When you act oblivious to these simple facts, you become frustrated later on, thinking that the system/justice didn't favour you. In reality, you did not do your homework. Allegations need PROOF.

It's common sense. i know people that HAVE property in the US. They are not any where near even councillor's class, not to mention 2 time governor of a state like Rivers. Please, be realistic. Who is deceiving you that governors/politicians don't earn money? The same you will still go to another thread to say just few people are collecting so so percent of Nigeria's budget. But here, you want agenda to agend, so we assume that governor is collecting NYSC or lecturer salary. SMH

But you're ever ready to open your kpankere chest to defend the indefensible 🤗

Hahaha 🤣😂

No need to 'make it make sense' at all 😏

AMINDA:
From the brazzen allocation of lands to his sons and families, it is clear that Wike doesn't even know how to hide his misdeeds and embezzlement. Either that, or it's part of his sheer arrogance. He claims the 2 million dollar home in the US were gift from his wife's parents to his children. Who are Wike's in-laws and what do they do? He won't survive outside of any government he's not allied to.

Are you serious?
