Cherrybae:
Even at that, is China population upto 439million.

Obi should rest and stop talking. Is not by force to hold microphone.

Its hard to defend this lie.

Always dishing out wrong figures and statistics

You cant defend this one at all.

Haba

China is above 1 billion, and they moved 800million out of povery for the past 40 years. Do your research before you type or argue nonsense. 439million was within the period of the MDGs

reddingtonblack:
You so called obedient are just appointment to celebral discussion, even if Peter obi was referring to china, no individual in china pulled 439million people out of poverty.

The last pull out as at 2021 sef naa 90+ million and hope you know china has over 1billion population.

If it took china 40yrs to pull 800million out of poverty how feasible is it for one man to pull 439million out of poverty.

Una go wan defend but most of you are very lazy to educate yourselves. however Peter Obi lied

You didnt see or hear when he said because china and india followed through with the millennium development goals in their national planning they were able to pull people out of poverty? He never said he will pull millions out of poverty in 8 years, he said he will streamline the millennium development goals with his administration agenda to do what he can within 8 years. But I know you are mischievous. I didnt come here to argue with you because you have a daft brain, but came here to dispel the lies and propaganda you wish to spread. Everyone who is on Nairaland can go on youtube and twitter to watch the full video, to see how you, your family and everybody who aligns with your thinking wants to mislead Nigerians.

What the completw video and hear when he mentioned China and India was able to pull 439 million people out of poverty. Dont be mischievous. Everybody here should watch the full video. I wonder how people can be so daft to not understand a full story before commenting. Just like reading individuals verses of the bible without reading the full chapter to understand.

Nyamuri:
Nobody will vote for u! your clueless, incompetent, ineffectual and a failure.. the only insignificant votes ull get is from ur small Ibo tribe

I dont know what makes you feel the ibo is a small tribe, because of INEC registered voters in south east? Do you know of lagos 22 million people, after the yorubas, the igbos are the second largest ethnic group, same goes to rivers state, and the rest southern states and all this igbos are registered voters in these states. Or do you want to talk about the population of igbos outside the shores of this country, in Africa, europe, america, asia? I bet your eduction made you think INEC voters register is the accurate population figures of the igbos. The fulanis are not even up to 7% of Nigerians population. To cut the long story short, go and ask google.

PANDORA PAPERS: Inside Peter Obi’s Secret Businesses — And How He Broke The Law

Peter Obi serially violated the law by failing to declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau the companies and assets he tucked away in secrecy havens.

ByTaiwo-Hassan Adebayo October 4, 2021

Peter Obi, the ex-governor of Anambra State in Southeastern Nigeria, is widely regarded in Nigeria as an advocate of good governance, openness, and transparency.

In addition to speeches on his governance records and statistics-laden prescriptions for Nigeria’s development, he likes to talk about how hugely successful he became in business before diving into politics.

In speeches and in printed literature, Mr Obi is never shy, reeling out his numerous business affiliations and accomplishments. On his website, for example, the former governor said he “was chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd, then chairman and director of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd, Guardian Express Bank Plc, Future View Securities Ltd, Paymaster Nigeria Ltd, Chams Nigeria Ltd, Data Corp Ltd and Card Centre Ltd.”

On that same platform, the former governor also described himself as the youngest board chairperson ever appointed by Fidelity Bank Plc, a 34-year old Nigerian lender listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

But beyond the facade of priggish speeches and appearances, an investigation by PREMIUM TIMES has now shown that Mr Obi is not entirely transparent in his affairs as he likes Nigerians to believe.

The investigation is part of the global International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ)-led Pandora Papers project.

The project saw 600 journalists from 150 news organisations around the world poring through a trove of 11.9 million confidential files, contextualising information, tracking down sources and analysing public records and other documents.

The leaked files were retrieved from some offshore services firms around the world that set up shell companies and other offshore entities for clients, many of them influential politicians, businesspersons and criminals, seeking to conceal their financial dealings.

The two-year collaboration has so far revealed the financial secrets of not less than 35 current and former world leaders, more than 330 public officials in more than 91 countries and territories.

Mr Obi is one of the individuals whose hidden business activities was thrown open by the project. Indeed, he has a number of secret business dealings and relationships that he has for years kept to his chest. These are businesses he clandestinely set up and operated overseas, including in notorious tax and secrecy havens in ways that breached Nigerian laws.

PREMIUM TIMES contacted Mr Obi with written questions and had an in-person interview with him weeks ahead of this publication.

The former governor admitted that he did not declare these companies and the funds and properties they hold in his asset declaration filings with the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Nigerian government agency that deals with the issues of corruption, conflict of interest, and abuse of office by public servants.

He said he was unaware that the law expected him to declare assets or companies he jointly owns with his family members or anyone else.

The Pandora Papers, the biggest cross-border collaboration of journalists in history, is an investigation into a vast amount of previously hidden offshore companies, exposing secret assets, covert deals and hidden fortunes of the super-rich – among them more than 130 billionaires – and the powerful, including more 30 world leaders and hundreds of former and serving public officials across the world.

The confidential documents also feature a global cast of fugitives, convicts, celebrities, football stars and others, including judges, tax officials, spy chiefs and mayors.

The leaked records came from 14 offshore services firms from around the world that set up shell companies and other offshore nooks for clients like Mr Obi, who seek to shroud their financial activities, often suspicious, in

Code of Conduct Tribunal HQ

Peter Obi, his daughter and a secret business
Mr Obi has two children- a daughter, Gabriella Nwamaka Frances Obi, and a son, Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi. Sometime in 2010, more than four years after he became governor, the politician developed an appetite to set up his first discreet company in the British Virgin Island. He named the company Gabriella Investments Limited, after his daughter

To set up what has now become a convoluted business structure, Mr Obi first approached Acces International, a secrecy enabler in Monaco, France, to help him incorporate an offshore entity in one of the world’s most notorious tax havens noted for providing conduits for wealthy and privileged corrupt political elites to hide stolen cash to avoid the attention of tax authorities.

Tax havens are politically and economically stable offshore jurisdictions or countries with extensive laws and systems that provide little or no tax obligations, but enable high secrecy and privacy protection for foreign individuals and businesses.

Mr Obi also paid Acces International to provide nominee directors for the company. Nominee directors are residents of tax havens paid to sit on boards of companies to hide the identities of real owners of offshore firms.

So, after accepting a brief from the then governor or his representatives, Acces International officials headed to the British Virgin Island, a notorious tax haven, where it contracted a local registered agent – Aleman Cordero Galindo & Lee Trust (BVI) Limited (Alcogal) — to set up Gabriella Investments Limited for Mr Obi.

The 36-year old Alcogal is a Panamanian law firm that went on to open overseas subsidiaries offering company formation and registered agent services in BVI, Seychelles, Belize, and Bahamas, and the preparation of corporate documentation in relation to the companies formed. It also provides trust services through its subsidiary trust companies in Panama, BVI, and Belize.

After extensive documentation, Gabriella Investment Limited was born on November 17, 2010, with registration number 1615538. Two figureheads – Antony Janse Van Vuuren and Lance Lawson — were appointed its first directors while ultimate control resided with Mr Obi.

On the same day the company was incorporated, the nominee directors met and issued 50,000 shares of Gabriella Investment in favour of Hill International Holding Corporation, a shell International Business Company operating under the laws of Belize, another tax haven. The director of the company is Mr Van Vuuren, also one of the directors of Gabriella Investment.

It is unclear what businesses Mr Obi transacted with the entities but in some communications, they were sometimes referred to as investment vehicles. Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES the offshore entity is the holding company for most of his assets and that the business structure he adapted was to enable him to avoid excessive taxation.

“I am sure you too will not like to pay inheritance tax if you can avoid it,” he told the reporters who interviewed him.

The Memorandum of Incorporation of Gabriella Investment said it was set up to carry on or undertake any business or activity, including trading of any commodities or goods, to do any act or enter into any transactions.

Recalibrating the structure and bringing family under the umbrella
Mr Obi has since rearranged his offshore businesses. First, he renamed Gabriella Investment. Beginning February 10, 2017, the company became known as PMGG Investments Limited in what is a combination of the first letters of the first names of Mr Obi’s nuclear family. P for Peter (ex-governor), M for Margaret (the ex-governor’s wife), G for Gabriella (the ex-governor’s daughter) and G for Gregory (the ex-governor’s son).

Mr Obi has also now created a trust known as The Gabriella Settlement, an entity also registered in the BVI. According to Fidelity Investments, a trust is a fiduciary arrangement that allows a third party, or trustee, to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries. Experts believe that trusts are traditionally used for minimising taxes even though they can offer other estate plan benefits as well.

By the current structuring of Mr Obi’s wealth and offshore businesses, The Gabriella Settlement, which appears to hold all or a majority of his assets, is the sole shareholder of PMGG Investments.

In turn, a New Zealander entity, Granite Trust Company Limited is the sole trustee of The Gabriella Settlement. Sam Access International, the Monaco-based secrecy enabler Mr Obi first hired in 2010 to set up his offshore structure, was until August 23, 2019, the sole shareholder of Granite Trust.

FIRS Headquarters

Antony Janse Van Vuuren, who has acted as a consistent and perpetual director for almost all of Mr Obi-related offshore entities popped up again, making the filing that brought in another Monaco-based company, Rhone Acces Sam as the sole shareholder of Granite Trust. However, Rhone Trust and Fiduciary S.A., a Swiss entity, is the ultimate holding company for Granite Trust.

Mr Peter Obi and his Man Friday

A central and recurring figure in former Governor Obi’s network of offshore companies and on whom the politician appears to place immense trust is Antony Janse Van Vuuren, a 70-year old South African based in the principality of Monaco in France. Experts in Illicit Financial Flows consider Monaco a tax haven because of its generous tax laws and policies.

According to KPMG Multi Family Office, the principality of roughly 30,000 inhabitants does not charge wealth tax, property tax, investment income tax, and capital gains tax. It also does not tax dividends and directors’ fees and unless they are French nationals, resident individuals are not subject to personal income tax while inheritance tax is zero per cent for spouses and direct beneficiaries. It is unclear if it was this mouth-watering tax regime that attracted Mr Obi to Monaco.

What is however clear is that, in 2010, four years after he became governor, the politician or his representatives hired Monaco-based Acces International, where Mr Van Vuuren has been partner and director for 25 years, to help him create a secret and intricate scheme for managing his assets. Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES that British Lloyds Bank’s advice informed his offshore structure decision.

From Monaco in France to Tortola in the BVI, to Wellington in New Zealand, and to Geneva in Switzerland, Mr Van Vuuren has travelled around the world running business errands for Mr Obi and taking major decisions on his behalf.

While Mr Obi stays comfortably behind the curtain, the South African has remained the face of the ex-governor’s companies and the assets they hold. For the past decade, he is the politician’s number one business arranger in the offshore world as well as the custodian of the politician’s business-related documents and correspondences.

Mr Van Vuuren, a veteran nominee director for possibly tens or hundreds of shell companies, attended the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where he graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor of Commerce, Accounting and Business Management. He also obtained an MBA from Durham University in 1977.

A History of Playing Offshore

A 1991 leaked incorporation document reveals a certain Peter Obi and two other individuals – Donatus Ogbogu and Uche Okagbue – to have incorporated Beauchamp Investments Limited in Barbados.

The firm was incorporated as an international business company on August 20, 1991, with registration number 7305. The setting up of the company was handled at the time by a certain Peter L. Chase. What businesses the company does and what assets it holds remain unclear. Mr Obi denied knowledge of the firm as well as of Messrs Ogbogu and Okagbue. He said the individual who incorporated Beauchamp was possibly another businessman who happened to bear a similar name as him.

However, Next International (UK) Limited, another of the former governor’s overseas companies, was incorporated on May 16, 1996, in London. Mr Obi and his wife, Margaret, were listed as directors while Next International (Nigeria) Limited (with 999 ordinary shares) and Mr Obi (with one ordinary share) were listed as shareholders.

The exact businesses the company undertook in its 25-year history remained unclear, although, on March 8, 2001, the firm reported taking a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank Plc for a property on 53 Clyde Road, Croydon.

Breaking the Law: Number 1

In Nigeria, a person is statutorily obligated to withdraw from engaging in or directing a private business, except if it is farming, upon becoming a public officer, Section Six (6) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act stipulates.

However, our investigation, based on records obtained from the UK Companies House shows that Mr Obi continued to be a director of Next International (UK) Limited for 14 months after becoming the governor of Anambra State, thereby breaking Nigeria’s law. The politician resigned from the company on May 16, 2008, 14 months after he assumed duties as Anambra governor. He took office on March 17, 2006.

Mr Obi did not dispute the records PREMIUM TIMES cited but he claimed he “resigned immediately” by handing his wife his resignation letter. He suggested that his company might have failed to effect the changes on time or the UK Companies House did not immediately document his exit. But the UK companies registry said Mr Obi indeed resigned on May 16, 2008, and that it received his notice of resignation for electronic filing on June 16, 2008.

Breaking the law: Number 2

Nigerian public officers are required to declare “immediately after taking office and thereafter all” their properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his (or her) unmarried children under the age of eighteen years,” Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution stipulates (Section 11, Part of the Fifth Schedule).

PREMIUM TIMES investigation also found that Mr Obi breached this constitutional provision on assets declaration. We can authoritatively report that Mr Obi did not declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau the companies he tucked away in offshore secrecy havens.

Mr Obi caused to be created for him a structure of secrecy that had previously, until the Pandora Papers investigation, meant he could continue to hold foreign assets in a way that breaches Nigeria’s law without the knowledge of authorities in the country. In an extra layer of secrecy, Mr Obi used paid nominees as directors, while he remains the ultimate beneficial owner, making it nearly impossible to discover his interests in those companies but we obtained rare incorporation documents proving his link.

Otherwise, Mr Obi could have forever hoped to continue to hold the assets, that he did not declare when he had a statutory obligation to do so as a governor, without any authority or the public calling him to account.

In his response, Mr Obi ridiculously suggested that those offshore companies and assets are jointly owned with his family members and that he was not under obligation to declare companies jointly owned. “I don’t declare what is owned with others,” Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES. “If my family owns something I won’t declare it. I didn’t declare anything I jointly owed with anyone.”

This is contrary to the position of the Constitution, which specifies the declaration of all assets, whether jointly or partly owned, PREMIUM TIMES’ reporters told Mr Obi. He said he was not aware of that provision of the law.

Nevertheless, leaked records show Mr Obi is the sole ultimate beneficial owner of the offshore companies. So he did not even jointly own it with anyone.

In that case, Mr Obi has violated Nigeria’s Code of Conduct law and, if authorities decide to act appropriately, he could be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, a special court that tries public officers for any contravention of the Code of Conduct for Nigerian public officers as spelt out in the Fifth Schedule of the Nigerian constitution.

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) were established to enforce “a high standard of morality in the conduct of government business, and to ensure that the actions and behaviour of public officers conform to the highest standards of public morality and accountability.”

Breaking the law: Number 3

The former governor could be charged with failing to declare his offshore holdings and their associated assets and operating foreign accounts while being a public officer.

The Nigerian constitution and the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act forbid a public officer from maintaining or operating a bank account outside Nigeria. However, as a governor, Mr. Obi continued to operate and maintain foreign accounts, including with Lloyds TSB.

Mr. Obi told PREMIUM TIMES that he received the advice to create an offshore structure from Lloyds TSB, which then introduced him to intermediaries who helped him to set up com where he continued to operate a foreign account as a governor.

The offences violate sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.

Asked if he is concerned that Nigerians would be disappointed at him following our finding of his opaque and lawless dealings as a governor, Mr Obi said he was more concerned about his U.K. and U.S. schools alumni network, his business and foreign creditors. He insisted that he served well as Anambra governor and Nigerians already have their opinions about him.

The former governor could be charged for failing to declare the company and its associated assets and perhaps operating foreign accounts while being a public officer.

Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES that he received the advice to create an offshore structure from Lloyds where he continued to operate a foreign account as a governor.

The offences violate sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.

Mr Obi and missed tax opportunity

In June 2017, the federal government launched the Voluntary Assets and Income Disclosure Scheme (VAIDS), an initiative seeking voluntary disclosure of previously undeclared assets and income with a view to paying all outstanding liabilities. The VAIDS offered a nine-month window and incentives that included immunity from prosecution for tax evasion and undeclared assets, which would have benefited people like Mr Obi.

A key objective of the VAIDS was curbing illicit financial flows and tax evasion, which commonly feature the use of offshore holdings to shift taxes from where they are earned to havens where little or no taxes are paid.

The government in 2017 said defaulting individuals and corporate bodies who failed to take advantage of the VAIDS would be subject to criminal prosecution.

A number of Nigerian public officials with previously undeclared assets tucked away overseas participated in the VAIDS and got clearance certificates. Mr. Obi shunned the scheme and continued with his opaque business dealings in breach of the law.

Atiku and Tinubu stole money clean from government coffers but you are here complaing about a man who kept his personal money from his business in offshore accounts even before he became governor?

oyebanji44:
By removing import and forex restrictions

Obi wants to make us a consumer of foreign products..

Results;

(1) it will make Nigerians to be impoverished (especially the farmers)



(2) Our intellectuals will not be motivated
( Meaning our education system will be useless)



(3) The country's currency will not be made stronger


Be warned

To all students graduated in Nigeria universities this one go surely affect you all

No. Remove the restrictions but impose serious taxes on imports. Because if you restrict imports completely but dont have enough local production for supply to outweigh demand, prices of goods will skyrocket. Like what is happening now. Rather impose heavy taxes on foreign imports, while stimulating local production for more supply. The government will make more money both ways rather than outright stoppage

I be mbaise boy , emeka is my brother ,my family are founding members of PDP from 1998 till date

Bros if emeka win is polling unit in mbutu come collect 50k
.Infact if atiku gets 25% in emeka polling unit not this ward ooh his polling unit come collect 25%

PDP think Igbos are fools

Igbo man formed PDP na we go scatter am last last

From Azaraegbelu to big tire to nkwogu down to ahaira junction, Peter Obi will sweep the entire polling units, it will take a mistake from thumb printing for Atiku to get substantial votes.

your from imo not from orashi. orashi is 18 nautical miles while Port Harcourt Port is more than 50 nautical miles.

Can you use a map and illustrate this, its confusion. Just circle port harcourt and orashi on the map

orashi River is close to Atlantic than ebonyi and Port Harcourt sea port. get your facts right

I am from Imo state, but its clear you dont understand geography. Orashi closer to the atlantic than port harcourt port? Haba na

Moh247:
Yet submitted a GCE results not FSLC

Omo people can be so ignorant. FSLC, GCE, Philosophy degree. I cant believe people can be so shallow

plaindealer:
We saw it, the GCE degree.

You are blind if you missed it.

So GCE is now a degree?

N3TRAL:
He should have tendered the certificate to INEC.

The truth is that nobody will prosecute you nor a competent court disqualify you when you post that you graduated from Havard or Yale on social media.

Your qualifications regarding elections can only be scrutinized by INEC and your opponents can only contest the qualification you submitted to INEC at the court.

No court can disqualify a candidate based on his social media results.

Neutrals like us rely on INEC'S list.

Obi's qualification on INEC'S LIST was not a Bachelor of Arts! It is GCE.


POST THE ONE WITH INEC STAMP LIKE BELOW.

So the degree next to the GCE is what exactly?

seunmsg:
Post yours and let’s compare if e sure for you. I just compared with my friends own and the difference is obvious. Obi is not just a liar but a certificate forger. He has been exposed.

Mumu so your friend who graduated recently and obi who graduated in the 80s should have same exact certificate? Same paper, same ink, same font, same style because schools dont evolve and make changes abi? Or the nysc certificate is fake too? Mugu like you

N3TRAL:
What's Peter Obi's qualification?

A foundational degree?

Oya clear your doubts. Illiterates parading on nairaland

N3TRAL:
What's Peter Obi's qualification?

A foundational degree?

Well your principal Tinubu is building a castle in the air. You cant claim to have a Bsc but no record of primary and secondary school. Even though you have no proof obi graduated with 3rd class but you still acknowledge the fact he has an authentic degree from a university backedup with his first school leaving and GCE certificates.

.

ityP:
Without secondary school certificate, I can get a university degree in the US. But your mumu sef no sabi

Thats is not the issue of contention here. With SAT or ACT anyone can but you mean to tell me He never went to any primary and secondary schools to enable him write those exams before gaining admission in USA?

ityP:
Go and ask how it is done abroad and stop disgracing yourself

Ignorance. So he was born in USA? or spent part of his childhood there without attending primary and secondary school before getting into university?

ityP:
Why do I need secondary school when I can get university degree directly?

How abeg? How will you get it expecially going to school in the USA? NO WAEC, No GMAT, No GRE, No GCE, boom you have Bsc from Chicago? This lie no they enter well.

ityP:
I don't need my secondary school certificate if I get degree

How then did you get the degree if you dont need a Waec or GCE? Admissions for a degree are subject to presenting a WAEC abi your own uni or Jamb no ask for WAEC or you were home schooled too?

rusher14:
Degree in what?

Obi no go school.

Fault is from who typed that not Obi. Abi is GCE a degree? Let me school you because I know you didnt attend university. A Bachelors degree is obtained on successful completion of a 4 to 7 years university program. Its awarded after final approval of the university senate and confered on the student on convocation.

rusher14:
Obi no even graduate.

What does Degree mean to you? You dont know because you are yet gaining admission into university because you cant pass Jamb due to comprehension issues and bad education. All you know is nairaland

asanausana91:
tell me the enjoyment Anambara people are enjoying because Peter obi was their governor for 8 years. Under his watch 78youths were killed and dumped inside EZU river, for 8 years Peter obi did not build one factory in Anambara, for 8 years Peter obi did not employed even one teacher.
Only zombiedients think Peter obi will change Nigeria.

Governments dont build factories, they create enabling environment for people like you to build. Ask Innoson, and co. the support they got from Obi to start their factories. Talk with facts not cheap lies. Dont forget we have the internet except you dont have enough data to research

Moh247:
Don't worry with Dangote refinery and BIU Refinery we have little to worry about regarding subsidy.. we can do Oil swap deal... Soon we would subsidies other things from education to health

Goverment should rather subsidize agriculture and education. Government cant subsidize health, rather they Implement health insurance.

Moh247:
Don't worry with Dangote refinery and BIU Refinery we have little to worry about regarding subsidy.. we can do Oil swap deal... Soon we would subsidies other things from education to health

So why are you now complaining about subsidy removal when you have clearly stated that i shouldnt worry because of Dangote refinery and BUA. Why then complain about hyperinflation. Moreover even with those refineries, fuel will sti be sold at international prices. 700 naira

Moh247:
A liter of fuel cost ₦700 in US and US has subsidy on many things

If they have subsidize on other things like agriculture and the rest why then do we prefer to subsidize fuel instead of those things they subsidize?

Moh247:
A liter of fuel cost ₦700 in US and US has subsidy on many things

I talked about hyper inflation as the price is 700. Are they suffering hyper inflation like you said Nigeria will suffer?

thebosstrevor1:
I just read that lagos is the 4th wealthiest city in Africa.

I didn't see Anambra in that list.

Peter obi couldn't change the lives of Anambra people but he is now saying he has the master key plan for Nigeria's economy.

This is the same man who said 100 million poor people are his structures...lol

And did you also read on how long it took lagos from creation to be the 4th wealthiest? You guys just type without reasoning. Lagos with all the status associated with it long before Anambra creation is what you guys want to compare? Even at that lagos is amonst the worst place to live in the world with all its wealth, so how do you compare.

Moh247:



Security he is talking about akwuzu SARS


Power they want to sell NEPA again

Remove subsidy and let us buy fuel at 400 per liter causing hyper inflation



.

But USA, Canada, Uk that dont have subsidy are suffering hyper inflation?

Fiscus105:
U re free to right ur opinion on them oooo.


Stop making Obi personal issue ok.

Obi is also a thief like Tinubu and Atiku.

Ask urself, how is he richer than Biden? No be govt money.

Like for real? Isnt tony elumelu richer than biden? Has tony ever held any government office? Is biden a businessman or isnt he only recieving salaries as a president? If you dont know history, Peter Obi comes from a wealthy family, his father started Next. He attended school in the Uk, he bought a house in the UK, he has obtained loans runing into millions of pounds from Uk banks to grow the business. All this before he came back to Nigeria to join politics. How much come be salary compared to business returns and compounding interest? Or you think USA or Uk political system is irredeemably corrupt like Nigeria where politicians are richer than business men? Nawa for people and how they reason
