ReplyDeleteThe former speaker looted allegedly has so many houses in Lagos with a multimillion dollar home in Buckhead Georgia near Atlanta where he pays annual property tax of about $40,000 a year! His property tax alone over 5 years is enough to house many residents of Makoko. Atlanta Exburbs is the money laundering capital of Nigerian politicians. I wish a revolutionary leader will arise & sell off the looted houses and use the money to give subsidized education to the youths. If a speaker stole so much & got swollen headed one wonders how much looting is going on in the 36 states and Aso🤔
