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

There is no record of this man working or creating any product in all of his life or running any profitable company in or outside of Nigeria before entering into politics. Dino is a career politician. undecided

Where in the USA are/were these franchises you speak of? Do you know what it means to claim you had nothing and then raise $350,000 to buy a franchise? Are you people really this gullible? undecided

No, I do not because his story never mentioned the year or location where these franchises are to be located. Also, the average American who owns McDonald's franchises— 5-10 stores — typically can't afford the lavish lifestyle this man lives in Nigeria at all. So, you please help me with information on where exactly this man's story came from? undecided

That website merely rehashes the same story told by Dino himself. Where is the verification for the claims made? Where are the McDonald's franchises supposedly owned by him? What is the EIN under which he operates/operated them? I would like to go to www.irs.gov to get information on these companies so I need you to provide me with at least one detail or another. Etc? undecided

First of all, owning a McDonald's franchise may earn you about $70,000-150,000 a year before taxes depending on the location and a whole other factors. This does not support the lifestyle claimed by Dino Melaye. Second, we are still to prove that the man's claims are true, to begin with. There is no mention in all of his stories of the year, state, or city he supposedly owned these franchises, or if he still owns them to date. undecided

How many times have you heard someone tell you a story of doing business in the U.S. without at least dropping a year, a state, or even a city? Even the name of the president of the United States during the time would make sense to some. This Dino Melaye story is more likely of fraud. undecided

Your problem is that you're limiting the income of a Senator to only what is earned as a Senator.

Did any of them attain that political office as paupers who need to depend on public service salary and allowances?

Still doesnt make him stupendously wealthy. Can you boldly claim that dino is richer than nwora or ukachukwu or sunny vale or urban shelter, since they too are the big players in real estate in abuja? Do they flaunt their luxury car collections?

Dino is obviously even exaggerating his wealth.

Apart from politics, OP should tell us any other job that Dino Melaye has ever done in his life sad angry. The amount of kickbacks,bribes, unfulfilled constituency projects these people get is far more than their emoluments. This was why they had quarrel with the past CG of customs whenever he was invited to the house, he never sent his "best wishes" to the house before honouring invitations as others were doing. We won't also forget how the ministry of power added the share\settlement of the national assembly members to the budget which ended up overinflating their budget, this is just a few of the illegal money these criminals get.

You pointed out the obvious. Ask dino to submit his financial so you can trace his wealth, he'll most likely say it was destroyed in fire. The franchise line is toò fake.

Most of these politicians were literally nobodies, the majority with criminal or questionable records , before they suddenly appeared on our political screens. Many of them we know of came into money almost overnight without any record of ever running any legit business enterprise or company. undecided

Did you know when Dino graduated from the University. Mind you he was first elected into HoR in 2003.

He acquired his so called franchise after he became a legislator and not before.
