As most people here said, we should wait and reserve judgement unitil we know where their sources of income came from unless you are Atiku, who doesn't want to declare his source of income because his wife may know

^^ Like anyone of them have actually respected you enough to give you details on the source of their wealth? Your own country self no dey even give you details on how your budget is spent each year . , lol

Fasola could not have made the amount he claimed from the UK. Follow the arguments of those (Yoruba) who know him well, even in the UK here

Assets declaration by Fayemi, deputy, a hoax -Oni
Wednesday, 22 December 2010 04:12 | Author: Tribune | Source


THE media aide to ousted Governor Olusegun Oni of Ekiti State, Mr Wale Ojo-Lanre, has described as phony and a hoax, the declaration of assets by Governor Kayode Fayemi and his deputy, Mrs Funmilayo Olayinka, saying that “this mumbo-jumbo assets declaration can only come from people who are out to prepare grounds for an impending grand looting of the state treasury.”

Ojo-Lanre, in a statement made available to the Nigerian Tribune, on Tuesday, said “Ekiti people deserve to know how Fayemi was able to acquire assets worth N750 million within four years and how much was paid as tax on his income and, most importantly, where the assets are located.

“How on earth can the same Fayemi, who was quoted in an interview published in The Nation of November 11, 2010 that there were days in the struggle that he could not boast of N5,000 in his account and had to depend on his wife for sorting out family challenges now claim to be worth N750 million?”

Also, reacting to Fayemi’s deputy, Mrs Olayinka’s claim, Wale Ojo-Lanre said “we wish to ask how som

Someone asked a very good question on that link. It would definitely be nice for the man, and every others to produce their tax papers from when they claim they were in the US/UK. At least those records are more guaranteed to help paint a better picture of how the amount was obtained.

hehehehe. I fear Naija women

Kobojunkie:

But it is about believing or not believing, well at least for myself. The reason I question the declarations is because I am having a hard time here believing the numbers being thrown around are close to reality. I mean isn't that why one would even question anything? So many have come up with possibilities but not much else and so I still do not believe. And I wait to be convinced . . . who knows, by wikileaks possibly.lol

Whether he is guilty or not or whatever crime we want to talk of, that is another topic entirely.

KoboJ, even if we continue discussing this, you're stubborn and would still not be moved.

So all I can tell you is; BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE WITHOUT KNOWING "HOW"

Is that african for "This is the person whose arse I choose to kiss and I wish you will kiss it as I do" ?

Please stop . . . this is what I don't like about the mentality of some of our brethren and that is they pick and choose when the standards be applied. Like I said, this man's resume does not show him worth as much as he claims. So he falls in the basket of the so many others out there whose resumes equally do not show them worth what they claim. If he can provide additional details to prove he is, fine. Else, he remains suspect in my book.

Like I told the others who have tried to offer us fluff arguments for why we must now believe . . . no need telling me what to believe, SHOW ME instead.

Olorun! That was a joke o.

OASN;
Ok, dont believe. So when will WE be REALLY sure of his asset? Even if he tells us HOW he came about his millions, can we still be sure the amount is legit?

When Obama/Hillary released their tax information documenting their earnings and more, did you believe it? Yes/no

Recently, when it was revealed that organizations were cooking their books, did you believe it?  Yes/No

I am not sure you know it but there are actually people out there whose profession it is to research these things and reveal the true values of such. Do not be deceived for one minute into believing they do not exist, even in Nigeria. Such services have existed to our Government and politicians for years. The Lagos state government has been using some of these services for some years now, and I am certain Fayemi, and every other politician there who wants the public to know the truth, knows how to get that information.

.

Not everyone who owns several hundred million Naira obtained it by fraudulent means. Not saying I know about this particular case.

1. Many men who are in the service of the nation as public servants register companies under their wives names'. And then proceed to get contracts and other work through these companies. So, you can have a public servant who gets N20 million, N50 million, N100 or even N300million contracts from the government and executes them. This can also apply to Doctors and University Professors.

2. Please note that real estate in Nigeria has appreciated in a lot of areas in Nigeria over the past 10 to 15 years. I know a person who is now in politics who got allocated some land in various parts of Abuja back in the 1990s. I mean land he got back then for paltry sums like N1million, or N2 million when the FCDA was still handing them out like candy. One of such parcels of land is 6 plots in an area near Apo District. Going rate there as of early this year when I was in Abuja was N40 million per plot. That means excluding current development he has on the land right now, the minimum amount he would declare on that land will be N240 million.

It's easy to say that anybody with money is a thief, proving it is the problem. Let us not forget that there is plenty of money to be made legitimately in Nigeria. It's just not as easy for some as it is for others.

You can find a lot of people who are in public service who have hundreds of millions in property even though they receive relatively small amounts as salaries. These people have companies despite the fact that public servants aren't allowed to. You just bypass that by having it registered in your spouse's name.

^^^ What good is this lecture to this case or any? Of course WE KNOW of the existence of legit politicians and business men out there. We are aware that not all of out politicians started off poor from the beginning. There is no debate there. As one of those who questions the man's claimed worth, I will make it clear that not one person, has definitely stated that anybody with money is a thief. So where do you get this from?

Na wa ooo, where they see money! anyway i would appreciate if they can be declaring their assets every year not once in 4 years, Baga

Now this is what I deem BELIEVABLE !!!

oyb:

[size=13pt]Details of the document show that before Mr. Ribadu became the EFCC chair, he had 187 cows valued at N7.5 million, a residential quarters in Yola worth N4.5 million, and a N10 million land in Abuja. He also had a Honda Accord car valued at N2 million, a Honda CRV valued at N2.3 million and N1.6 million and £200 cash in two local banks and a London bank respectively.

The end of tenure asset declaration by Mr. Ribadu shows that while he was leaving EFCC in 2008, he had $8,064 in two local banks, sourced from his allowances, a plot of land at Katampe Hills in Abuja valued at N2 million, a residential quarters in Yola valued at N5 million, and a N200,000 home furniture. He also had a N2.3 million Honda Accord car bought in 2006.[/size]

He, however, lost 67 cows and was left with 120 cows valued at N5 million.

Mr. Ribadu, who was finally relieved of his duty as chairman of EFCC, was prosecuted half way by the late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua-led government at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over allegations that he did not declare his assets before taking up the EFCC job

Nobody cares!,GEJ recently sold Dimeji Bankole and David Mark their residential houses,the questions is why? Nobody cares,yet this leaders will go to church leaders to have hands lay on them for prayers and even Nigerians to pray for them to steal more. from Ribadu to Tinubu e.t.c all of them are out to steal and to steal us blind.
In October 2010 issue of The News Magazine,Kayode Fayemi states that He does not even have 5000 naira in his account ( you can cross checked !) how come he now have 27M cash, 2 months after? No body cares!

Gbawe did u see this quote on page 1? any comment to counter it? If its true how then did he make all those millions within 2 months of consulting(according to u and wikipedia)

Its not just to declare the money but to establish the source of the income.

Good to declare his assets.

Now, could he please tell something about taxes he's paid? Surely, these should have some correspondence to his assets?

.

The poor will forver be jealous of the rich by default.

Fayemi's wife alone is richer than most politicians in Nigeria, yes! I said it. Have u people found out about AWDF which she co-founded in Ghana. Where she was CEO until her husband became Governor.
It's nobody's fault that you're naive.
The house in Ghana is even rented and it's the wife that pay the rent.

Google is a very useful tool, use it!
