1. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida – There is no way on earth that this man could have been a billionaire from the salaries that he earned as a Nigerian military official and as a military head of state. He is currently a billionaire, how did he become so rich?

2. Olusegun Mattew Aremu Obasanjo – A combination of his salaries as a military official, military head of state, two times president of Nigeria and a notable career as a farmer couldn’t have made this guy a billionaire. This guy is so rich that he owns a billion dollar library in Ogun State. Can someone please tell me how this guy became a billionaire overnight?

3. Atiku Abubakar – This guy’s enormous wealth remains unexplained till date. He has no known source of wealth, but he boasts of building investments from the thin air. How did he make his money?

4. Bola Ahmed Tinubu – This guy is one of the richest politicians in Nigeria at the moment. Yes, he was an influential socialite and a renowned politician, but can someone point out how this man became stupendously rich that he commands billions in investments and cash?

5. Orji Uzor Kalu – This one is the most surprising. He emerged from no where and is now controlling billions in investments e.g. Slok. How did this dude make the money that he is commanding?

6. Abdulsalami Abubakar – Apart from his short stint as the head of state, he is relatively unknown to Nigerians. How did this man become a billionaire? How did he make the wealth that he is flaunting with reckless abandon?

7. Dino Melaye – This guy is well known for showing off exotic cars, houses and foreign trips. He is very wealthy. How did he make his money? Can anybody explain?

8. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi – This dude was the governor of Rivers state. He is currently the minister of transportation. He is known to be very wealthy. In fact he flaunts wads of dollars and shares them with ease. He was said to be behind the funding of Buhari’s campaign. How the heck did this dude make all the money that he is spending?

9. Rochas Okorocha – This guy is very wealthy. Yes, he is renowned for his social contribution before becoming a governor. How did he make his money. What is the source of his wealth?

10. Peter Odili – This guy is living a very quiet life at the moment, but it is obvious that he is wealthy. He is known for his wealth and investments. How did he make the billions that he owns?
