@enyojo,

Treasures of this world are found in books. Kindly read and research before you flaten a claim.
For your intellectual enrichment, take this.

Persian alchemist by the name of Mohammad ibn Zakaria Razi (864-930 AD). He was born in the city of Ray, south of Tehran/ Iran. He is considered one of the greatest alchemists of all time and his work remained in use for over 10 centuries. He not only discovered alcohol, and the use of alcohol in medicine, but also discovered sulfuric acid. Razi wrote 184 books and articles in several fields of science.

Oh boy see money! How can we be sure he is worth this much? Abi did he 'amplify' his net worth with the aim of 'filling in the blanks' during his tenure as governor?

ZnO:

You are right. The man is a rare specimen in a maddening crowd. I hear he will become Naija ambasasor to the UN

jimmysho:

It beat me hallow that el rufai has suddenly become a hero to some individuals that their believe is that anyone that speaks against the govt of the day is on the side of the citizenry. I question their sense of judgement because this is absurd

mikeansy:

Nigerian politicians are simply not good enough at politics.

El_rufai has been self destructing in the last couple of months, instead of ignoring El-Rufai they have simply offered him undeserved sympathy.

The man has been working so hard to be Buhari's successor in Nigerian Politics. I think that is a very wrong move for anybody who wants to lead this country because while that will guarantee you Buhari's base which is largely made up of religious extremists or half baked fools; your candidacy will be a difficult sell to the rest of moderate Nigeria which is where election is usually won.

If the Government know what they are doing they should release El-Rufai and ignore him.

Somethings are more serious than what El-Rufai has to say right now.

“Got detained by the SSS on arrival at Abuja Airport. No reason given. On our way to the Headquarters. Will keep you posted if phones not seized”

‘We have arrived safely at SSS HQ. They are polite and courteous, so far…’

”Taken up three floors to see the DG. He was my director of security in FCT, 2003…decent man then, will soon know if fresh air has got him.’

‘Phone battery going down…no tweets until i charge….sorry guys, ladies, ’
