There are many runs in Abuja, apart from their salaries, they do deals with ministries under their purview, that's why you see them fighting to chair or belong to juicy committees In the House.

If there is no money to be made, tell me why Ugochinyere allegedly paid $1.7m to chair the committee he heads?

You don't know much about the man you keep touting, do you? At what point in his growth did he become the leader of NANS and for how long? One can only serve as a NANS president for one year by the way. How could he have amassed so much wealth at NANS in that short period if it wasn't for some criminal/shady deal on that end? undecided

That garage is more for someone earning about Naira 500 million to Naira 1 billion a year. 🤔🤔🤔

The Truth is that all of them in Govtis not yet telling us ( the Public) the True Position of things- including the Senators,the House,the Governors,the Ministers and even the Revenue Mobilization Committee Members are just deceiving the Public.
In Nigeria, Politicians have turned Govt to like a Cult -Membership,that you can't know the Truth, unless,you join them7

You sound like someone who has no information outside what the !media tells you.. If you want to sound active, make your own research..

Since 21 million can't buy him those cars, it becomes logical to say that he's got other stream of income..

By the way, are you aware that the governor of Ibadan is worth 45 billion yet the media has not come out to list his businesses
Seyi Makindes business is actually out there in the media, stop talking about things you know nothing about, go and read his asset declaration form, the number of shares he owns in Makon engineering and its subsidiaries was clearly stated, his Eurobond investment, properties in texts, South Africa and Nigeria was stated, its in the media.

You even tried for opening the link and read.

As for me i'm too vast to start opening a stupid link which will probably be filled with stupid concotted stories solely meant for the Gullibles.

Believe me it very easy to make money in Nigeria provided you are averagely intelligent, be very rugged, join politics, be humble and heed to your superiors orders, you can tell lies excellently and be good at manipulation and deception(manipulating & deceiving the gullible and ever dociled masses), and have no fear of your creators.

HOW I MADE MONEY

There was a recession in America and the properties of those owing the banks were put up for sale because they couldn’t pay what they owed. There was an eatery that was put up for sale. A McDonald’s. I raised some money and bought the franchise.

I bought it at $350,000. This was almost twenty years ago. My profit after tax today stands at over $1.2million.

That one franchise in the USA has given birth to seven other franchises across America.


When I make that kind of money in the USA and bring it back to Nigeria, I am seen as one of the richest men because of the value when my dollars are converted.

from the Bus conductor to a billionaire: Dino story.

I was not born with a silver spoon. Not even a wooden spoon.

My father was a civil servant in Kano, North West Nigeria. But he was fired from that job for religious reasons. It was from that point that life became more difficult for my family.

I had to leave the private school I attended. I got enrolled in Gadunasarawa Primary School. From here I started training myself.

I bought one goat and gave it to my mother. Whenever the goat gave birth I would raise the kids and later sell them. It was from selling goats that I raised money to buy my JAMB form to go to university.

At Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, I would spend three weeks on campus and go to Kano for two weeks to take up jobs. I would work most nights.

There was no kind of job I didn’t apply to.

I sold petrol, I worked at a block-making factory, I worked as a bus conductor. All sorts of jobs. And that was how I paid my bills and put myself through school.

I was paying my school fees and also funding the education of my younger siblings.

So, I got to where I am today by sweat, grit and determination. God has had my back all the way.

Growing up I read a lot of books. I realised that successful men and women did not necessarily come from rich homes. Most of them made names for themselves. I learnt that success isn’t only attained by the sons and daughters of the elite. Anybody can become somebody.

My mindset changed. This affected how I began to carry myself around the ABU campus. I packaged myself better and people thought I was the son of one rich man.

My life philosophy is “You must picture the future you want to feature in.”

When I make that kind of money in the USA and bring it back to Nigeria, I am seen as one of the richest men because of the value when my dollars are converted.

From this I got into Real Estate. And I also started making a lot of money from that.

People say a lot about me because they do not understand where my money comes from. I sit and get credit alerts as a result of my previous hard work and investments I made.

I am not a cat with nine lives. I just have a big God who is always by my side.

I fear no one. I am always deadly to die for what I believe in.
