Buhari did asset declaration before becoming president, he had less than 300K USD liquidity as at the time he was sworn in, how did someone with such "meager" networth become rich enough for his kids and family to live as lavishly as they started living?

Dear Nairaland mod

Are you guys not tired of this rubb!sh recycled question every month?

If you guys just want to read lies from commenters you will just push this same topic to front page.

Some will tell you confidently here that 500K is not even enough to buy their Tissue paper monthly. Someone will not fear God and tell you that they spend that amount on satchet water and biscuits per month

May God have mercy





My brother thank you

You should have written the above in Capital letters and also bold it so that they could read this your comment clearly.

This same report have been like this since Jonathan to Buhari and now Tinubu regime. They was a time (2010-2012) that it was revealed that 90% of Nigerian does not live above $1 per day and dollar to Naira then was just 150 Naira.

Nigerians are just filled with loud mouthed online audio millionaires & billionaires mostly here on NL.


May God help us

Angelfrost:
Any Nigerian earning such an amount and not living in comfort is clearly punching far above his financial weight.

That's an income over 70% of working Nigerians can only fantasize about.

Many of you just come online to pretend and needlessly grandstand.

In Warri and Niger Delta in general, everyone from HOA members to LGA Chairmen loot yakata

Lagos is a saner clime where a HOA member may not loot wotoporiously because the Lagos APC structure has discipline and some boundaries plus many people to accommodate. Everybody chop small small there

You are not getting it

People with resources have been taking care of themselves before politics. Whether its their finances healthcare hobby vacation etc. All that wont change because they became politician same way Obi did not bring his son to come and school at Anambra University when he was governor

Spy360:
Benue youths

Why can't Alia mobilise the youths to block the bandits

TemporaryHansel:
So Odumodublvck sings about being a tough gangster with total control of his emotions, alpha shit, only to be outed as a weasel. It's so funny fr.
With his lyrics, I would've never believed Odumodu will be a simp, but man has been crying over a girl on X(formerly twitter) for over a month now.

Incredible!

Sometimes, I don't see any different between musicians and actors. Instead of telling stories with their songs, they are acting, just like actors.

A40:
Dey play. Person wey don use to escargot, caviar, Cullinan lifestyle.

How you think say she go fit manage with one nwaboy wey dey manage Venza

Unfortunately for am no be like una side wey she fit get access to him money. You leave with what you came with. She no get choice but to stick around till he croak

A40:
Instead make I invest in any NGX stock. I rather go to Admiralty way and carry different olosho everyday

Was one of those stupid enough to bet on Oando that year. Dividend I no see. Stock I no see sell. I'm lucky my investment was relatively small as I still be youngin back then. I know people personally who have suffered and families completely destroyed even to the tune of losing their breadwinner cos of these useless stocks

These people are just greedy bastards men. Useless rug pull stocks they keep advertising. Brokers also in on the scam

raumdeuter:
That is because their healthcare is superior to ours

Regarding vacation, British Prime ministers went on vacations outside their country regularly, Tony Blair went on vacation to Barbados while in power

abduleez1:
Exactly. Same response I gave to my dad when he was asking me about that ridiculous report that Opay is gonna close.

I didn't even bother myself to check any news or Google any platform. I told him straight up its the work of mischief makers. Because same way as you put it, I deem Opay as a company who's "Too big to fail".
And government or CBN won't sit and watch the company go under.

Na company wey dey plan to open IPO for both New York and Lagos dey fold up in a matter of months?

izzou:
The large chunk of false information spreading on social media is worrisome.

People will set ring light, on camera and begin to spread jargons.

I wonder between an African man or a woman, who between these two groups enjoy passing up responsibility for their failures


Funny enough, before the white men came to the scene, the african people were already major players in the slave market, capturing the weak in the nigbourimg village and turn them to a slave and eventually sell these slaves to slave merchants, but because white man 'cast the update' suddenly they are the reason why nigeria and africa at large are backward


I'm not saying the white men didn't have some fault o, but to blame them solely on the lack of development in africa shows the lack of accountability in africans, this is the same negative traits the black Americans are having today. You see them blaming the government for not doing enough to help their community meanwhile these same black community has received the highest amount of aid in america after the white


The great bob marley said 'emancipate your self from mental slavery' but the greatest emancipation is when we look inward and take full responsibility for our actions and inactions rather than to blame the white man for everything wrong with africa

PapalsBull:
You can't deny the fact that joining various tribes with each having different culture and value that made up present Nigeria isn't one of the problem.

Theflint1:
If superiority means whether we're all human beings, then no, they're as human as we are.

But if you're speaking in terms of ability, and future potential, they're not same as us. Think of it this way, they're people of the same age as you that you know deep down can't touch you ability wise, because of where you are compared to them now, the rate you're going compared to them, the decisions you're taking per time, and of course there's the randomness of life. It's no different with countries.

The fact is, given how we've evolved, there's not enough evidence on ground to show that some of these barbaric practices that the white man stamped out wouldn't have still been in play had they not intervened.

Culturally, there's an age difference between our cultures and the cultures of these developed nations, and the faster they evolve compared to us, the more that age difference increases.

The same way not all humans are destined to make it given the limitation of time, so too not all countries are destined to make it (and this includes culturally).

sconp:
Colonialism definitely did some evil. However, using current day realities you really think our barbaric cultural acts would have stopped or evolved at this time? Lol.
Even in present day with the amount of influence, technology and knowledge available, what have we made out it?
We still have barbaric acts running in the North, South, East and West.

Maybe it would have evolved in year 2200

BlueRayDick:
I don't know if this Ur post is some kind of Rage bait or you just type wetin dey Ur mind, but I want to believe u are reasonable enough to know that the cons of colonialism outweighs the pros.

Countries like China that were never fully colonized are rubbing shoulders with imperialists in 21st century. I'm sure countries like China too had their so called barbaric cultural practises which the white man would've taken glory for eradicating if they had successfully colonized them and people like u in china today will thank the White men for putting a stop to them.

My point is ; those human sacrifice and other barbaric acts that were stopped and u are here thanking the imperialists coming for it , they would've stopped anyways whether they came to Africa to colonize us or not. All culture evolves with time.

That Mary Slessor stopped killing of twins in present day cross rivers state does not mean the same killing wouldn't have been stopped by now. I mean those people will be interacting with people of other tribes and it's only a matter of time before the barbaric act would be stopped due to inter mingling with other cultures.

The evil colonialism did by forcing different tribes into a so called country for their own selfish profit motive is still haunting us till today.
