give the man a break. if you looked critically at the asset declaration, you would not have asked this rediculous question. you also need to take he's (Yar'Adua's) antecedents into consideration. he's grand father was already prominent pre-independent Nigeria. his father maintained the same prominence. his direct and indirect inheritances could have formed his foundation. Now, a huge chunk of he's assets were declared as property, some of which was given to him by the federal govt before he became a governor. his family house in katsina is also amongst property valued to make up his net worth. he also threw in cash and vehicles donated to him for his campaign. for the "NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OUT OF NIGERIA' people who doubt him, thankfully none of his assets are abroad. you're free to conduct a verification yourself.
