The matter dey pain you as e dey pain me
This country is really screwed up(maybe beyond redemption). But we don't get to decide the society we are born in that's why the only thing that makes sense is just to be thriving

Which home is this one talking about. Do you have a home? You call Nigeria home?The day politicians and private owners begin to see Nigeria as their TRUE home, that's the day Nigeria will be a better place.

Black skin is a curse. I regret the day I was born as a black man, I wish I was a white guy. Even the white Africans among us (morroco, Egypt etc) are doing far better then we the real Africans. Why? Why?

In 2026 we are still crying to the government for Ordinary stable electricity, bad roads everywhere, etc..

Is not as if there is no money to get these amenities done. the money is just looted and embezzled everyday for personal use.

Black skin is cursed with greed and selfishness.

Lemme share a secret with you.

Do you know there is a man in Nigeria that has put this to practice and even someone like dangote decided to emulate. He used to. He said it but one day, he decided to change the narrative and that happened cos he took a cue from somebody. Many may not admit it but there is one person that serves as an example to others, and i will share that person at the end of my comment. Before that, i want people to understand this, wealth is a tool like every other inanimate or abstract object. It can be used in a good cause like building a system that works or be used for evil like destroying or enslaving a system such as the one Nigerian politicians are doing. That is why we need to change this government and put a government that understands how wealth can be used. The last time, it was Alao Akala with almost 100 properties. Even someone like Malami, Emiefele and several other politicians out there. The ones in government today are even worse. The day you start hearing of Tinubu's properties, shettima, Akpabio's, gbajas, and all of them, you will ask yourself, will they carry this monies and properties to heaven? Wealth is meant to be distributed, so when you are blessed to a certain level, the smartest thing to do is begin to redistribute and channel the wealth so that not only will you live a peaceful life but an impactful one too.
Neway, back to the person that Nigerians need to respect with regards to topics like this is Peter Obi. He is a wealthy man just as Herbert was but instead of stock piling properties, he has shown more prudence and I am pretty sure must have influenced someone like dangote to follow suit. He is at par with the likes of dangote. Yes, even though the figures of his wealth is not in public space. PO is the exemplary lifestyle Nigerian leaders should emulate both in private and government life. If you not using your wealth to build better and stronger society, atleast use it to impact people's lives positively. Wealth is not.meant to be stored, it is meant to be shared responsibly

Exemplary lifestyles of Peter Obi?
I can't believe that in 2026, many people are yet to realize that politicians needs their ignorance to function.
In 2026, some people still expects Peter Obi to show them expensive properties he bought when shell companies, family offices, trust, offshore companies offers anonymity.

grandstar:
I am certain he made a lot of cash during Buhari's 8 yesrs in power.

The subsidy of the dollar made many super rich.

All the well connected had to do was to purchase dollars at the official subsidized rate and sell at the market rate in the parallel market, and you make a massive profit.

Which one is subsidized dollar again?

They are not bold enough to invest in an environment they don't trust. The same environment who made them what they are today, the same environment they are running their conventional businesses?

correctguy101:
Sorry what do you expect?

Not everyone would be bold enough to invest in an environment they don't trust.

These guys understand the situation more than the masses. They know what truly is going on.

Until our land truly becomes our land, you'll one day tell yasef in ya heart that you criticized people wrongly.

Like usual, we know bankers na robbers in suit but wetin una go fit do this dead man? How about investigating the ones alive and using them as examples so we'll know you people are serious?

The first time I went to Dubai for holiday, I met Dino Melaye on the train. Many things started flying through my mind, I was like see how he's shining teeth, imagine they've done the same thing back home. I cursed the day I was born as a black man bro.
The most painful thing is that we're not Burundi, we have all what it takes to me like Singapore, so why are we now still begging for basic amenities in 2026.

It is well.

A country that uses tribe and religion to select its leaders have every reason to beg

True.

But you don see anyone wey dey take advantage of someone wey go come take the person serious?

It's human useless nature. Without constant control, we go just dey do anyhow like the rest of dem animals.

I feel I'm saying facts here. Not like e no dey vex me sef say na so the matter be.

I still dey wonder wetin he Wan use 106 properties do

the funny thing is that most of them hardly give birth to more than 4 children,what is the need for that 106 properties that is too much for your children to handle

Damseldammie:

Then why can't we just go our separate ways if that is the case cos I don't see Nigerians changing that mindset soon and it's annoying

I wonder oh. 106 properties in London is worth millions of pounds. Imagine investing that kind of money here

Integrity200:
Dangote who is doing what exactly... enslaving your life? I guess... Nigeria the only country that celebrite their operasorse...

You don't know the meaning of integrity. Dangote is next to government in terms of employment of labour. He's the highest single corporate tax payer. He is the highest sponsor of corporate social responsibility.

Counter these with your facts.

I'm sorry you feel that way.
But it wasn't always like this. There was a time when Nigerians were patriotic and lived in communities.

Vanity

I guess the job is not as glamorous as peopleon the outside think

VanuatuWycombe:
😃😃. Some of them are able to build their bungalows to ‘taste’, at Owode-Iyana Ilogbo, Orimerunmu, Gberigbe, Oko-Afo etc.

My brother was lucky to have left banking job during Akingbola saga. He has, since then, been on his own and partnering one foreign audit firm.
He always thanks God that he was affected by that retrenchment, till today. He was a senior manager at head office of Intercontinental Bank then o.

A lot of them are still there, wasting away in starched clothes. Anyways, men among them have access to numerous opuehs who come for different banking services. Let that one be there hazard allowances.

Basicend:
Actually, the subject employees made a choice. Every man walk in a pathway by the reason of his choice.

They were not forced to be continual slaves to the corporate.

I pulled out of the rat race at age 40. Yes, the decision was informed by a revelation from God (thank God), but a man will still have to be bold to sacrifice and seperate himself from the conventional process.

No company in Nigeria will pay N1m to N2m per month in Nigeria today and will allow you to be waking up by 10 am or anytime that is convenient. They will rather oppress you with heavy KPIs, pressurized strategic meetings or constant crazy performance reviews and goal targets.

What you just said made me remember then.

Vision101:
They make money in Nigeria but they will not invest the money in Nigeria. 106 properties in foreign land and just a handful in his native land where he made the money. That's why I love Dangote.

As a frontman for corrupt politicians, they will choose a property in a choice area, then pay in the money through his account/bank so he can use his name to buy it.

Abi you want him to be building mansions in remote villages with people’s money?

Otherwise, what exactly is a single person supposed to be doing with 106 properties in just London alone. Not the whole of UK o. Not to mention other countries like USA etc.

He’s a human being and so it will be very exhausting to have 106 properties in a city alone if it’s not people he’s buying it for.

VanuatuWycombe:
We are talking of ill-gotten wealth, you are talking of life style.

Will someone stèä! all Wigwe’s property, if he had them legitimately in Nigeria?
Why hasn’t government taken over his university? It’s because he could defend that.

You should have defended him that he preferred where he would get higher return on property investments and that after he must have bought those properties legitimate.

Baba was doing round tripping when he was alive. That’s where he got his wealth.

Why did he go and establish Wigwe University in the UK? He knew he would need to cross so many hurdles and spend a lot before he could meet UK standard of running a university.

Those properties were bought by fronts. We still have a lot of Wigwes in our banking system who have made billions of us, while you are I are busy crying over fuel price.

You're just a confused fellow who doesn't understand that the ill-gotten money enables the lifestyle...

Jamie248:

Life style of someone riding bicycle in Singapore and someone stashing money away in properties. Is he living in those properties? Can you call investment a lifestyle?

I wonder how you passed your English language exam in secondary school.

Don’t turn into a weak, wilful slave to the same colonisers to orchestrated the underdevelopment of Africa in the first place which in turn has negatively impacted lots of black Africa. When a man/woman loses his /her self worth and dignity he/she becomes a useful tool to the coloniser and loves his/her master even more than the master himself. Perfect example is Kemi Badenoch! Do you really desire to end up as her?

Learnt the guy was one of the biggest force in the banking industry so am not surprised

This is money laundry, in case you didn't know. Politicians launder using these bankers.

Evil people are everywhere what about the eugenics people trying to kill over 6 billion poor people.

My spirit tells me he was killed by the Assasinators to stop Dangote Refinery.

Separate ways?
This looks trying to solve the symptoms of the problem and not the problem itself.
In life, everything that works follows a principle but we the black wants her the results without any principle. African has been going there separate ways since the last 60 to 80 years with nothing to show.
The day we start talking the principles how things work, is day progress starts.

Worshipping Devil is a Norm in Africa and when u do ... It takes you back to Primordial behaviour while the rest of the world moves with contemporary reality!

106 properties is not crumbs.
