Bola Tinubu: How I Made My First Million by AnonPoet: 8:47pm On Jan 13, 2022
This was written by Samuel Ogundipe Of Peoples Gazette.

Former Lagos State Governor and a leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has narrated how a working trip he made while serving as an auditor for auditing giant, Deloitte and Touche, made him an “instant millionaire”.

Mr. Tinubu first served as a senator in the short-lived third republic and later as governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007. He has been accused of making a fortune from politics.

“At Deloitte and Touche, I chose to travel more than 80 per cent of my working years there. And that is because if a staff chose to travel, he would make more money because he would get travel allowances,” Mr. Tinubu said in a lengthy interview he granted TheNews Magazine on March 29 about his journey through life as he celebrated his 64th birthday.

Mr. Tinubu said he was sent on an assignment to help set up a an accounting and auditing system for a joint-venture between National Oil and Aramco in Saudi Arabia but by the time he returned to the United States, he discovered that his account had been credited in millions.

Mr. Tinubu said he was sent on an assignment to help set up a an accounting and auditing system for a joint-venture between National Oil and Aramco in Saudi Arabia but by the time he returned to the United States, he discovered that his account had been credited in millions.

“We had gone there to set up their accounting and auditing system. It was while on that service that I got my financial break. When I returned to the United States, my employers gave me a huge bonus, which instantly turned me into a millionaire.

“The bonus was $850,000, before taxes. My salaries were also being paid into the bank and I was not touching them. At the time, my salary deposits in the bank had risen to about $1.8 million.”

Asked if he was not frightened by the development, Mr. Tinubu said, “No. This is because I had a strong grasp of financial matters. I was happy. I bought a house from the money and invested the rest in the U.S. I was living well. I was living in one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the south of Chicago.”

Mr. Tinubu said he stayed back working for several years in the United States after completing his degree in Chicago. He worked in Deloitte and Touch before returning to Nigeria to serve as an accounting executive for Mobil.

This should answer the question of how Tinubu made his money. Baba has been a millionaire in dollars since his private sector days. Atiku on the other hand should come out and tell us how he made his first million. He should explain to Nigerians how an ordinary custom officer retired into billions of dollars.

Shut up. Una never see anything yet. When the real anti-Tinubu campaign start, shame go make you hide. Make campaign time don dey reach, you go see revelation you go tire. Nor be only Baba has been a millionaire in dollars right from time. Quack media packaging.

This is what Tinubu narrated/said and it doesn't mean it is the truth. Maybe you should do yourself a good by going to a court close to you. Ask a lawyer what cross examination and corroboration of evidence mean. Ekpa!

Look at this liar! You made that much money and you still went to the US to push drugs?


Beware of those employed by Tinubu to help launder his image. They will bombard the internet space painting Tinubu as an angel.

But just know that he is a thief and a drug pusher.

If you believe this stupid story, you need to have your head examined.

A Yahoo boy can tell better story,every criminal can make up anystory.

Let's see your bank statement as at that time.

His story sounds like he went to public toilet and found a bag of cash or that he won a lottery, cock and bull story

Is he the only auditor that has audited a major company account, how many accountants are swimming in millions.

What was the naira to Dollar exchange rate as at then?

Extraordinary claim require extraordinary evidence. Convince us with documénts and facts and an independent verification,

Do thiß people think we are fools or what.



If you think this would give you a soft landing you are mkstaken

This THIEF has made me realise how powerful the media is

Suddenly he is always in the news

This was how they did for buhari that year until he won

What is shocking is seeing young people supporting him yet many of them, if you check were shouting "endsars"

I keep saying it that this country is not destined to be great. Just japa if you can angry

That was how tinubu said he graduated from Toronto university until the late gani fawehinni investigated and found out that he forged his Toronto university certificate.
Why is he collecting pension when he is not a civil servant who served for 35yrs?

If the principle of rotational presidency means power should shift to the south, then power should also shift to a Christian.

Buhari has done 8 years for the Muslims.

In the spirit of fairness, it is time for a Southern Christian. Tinubu had this ambition to become Buhari's vice in 2015 but it was obvious the Muslim-Muslim ticket won't fly.

Now he wants to achieve that same ambition to the detriment of Christians. It is unfair and he must be stopped.

Christian Association of Nigeria will soon comment on this.

They have started....the exact way Buhari started.... we have wasted 8yrs ...pls dont allow them make it 16 yrs ... they have flooded Nairaland again ,just like they did in 2014..... reject them now ...anyone that posts any story about Tinubu , let's all come together to rebuke the person....now that he has not entered cos once he enters , he will even b worse than that lifeless person in asorock...remember that alot of people that supported apc in and buhari in 2014, some of them are dead due to insecurity and hunger.... you can't keep on regretting promoting these criminals....

What did Tinubu do during End sars .... he supported the government that killed lagosians .... dollar will hit 1k , fuel 500 , transport will triple.... we will suffer terribly...only his goons will be enjoying.... think once , not even twice
