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

Dino is a drug baron

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.

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?

Kobojunkieee:
Where in the USA are these franchises you speak of?

I dont get your question?

U know he owns a couple of MacDonald outlets n some others

I don't understand your questions

mrvitalis:

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?

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?

Are you kidding me owner of then MacDonalds can't buy those cars?

Dina cars cheap cars no is really that expensive

His car collection is not worth more than 5 million dollars

Probably none of those cars are even new

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 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.

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.

Hmmmmmm Nigeria politicians are something else.

Forget about Dino. Check all his antecedents, it's just like yahoo boy. Mature minds don't display cars like this also good with actresses,then boasting. Well free money in Nigeria

I stopped reading this rubbish when they said his net worth is $800m.

D poor will always tink d rich is responsible for their poverty.Mind u,dino has a lot of estates in Abuja....d guy has heavy investment in real estate..bt d poor wont understand the this.Infact ,some of his estates he refused selling d houses bt rented it out only n people are even begging him to sell.
I hope this educates u abt how money is really made.

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?

We no get senators
We get criminals

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 . 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 to the budget which ended up overinflating their budget, this is just a few of the illegal money these criminals get.

If some average Nigerians dey earn wetin these senators dey earn, dem go get extra life

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.

No. Financed by bribery and embezzlement of constituency allowances.

Our SINators and House of Reps also get generous car allowances which is paid for by you and I

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.

Exactly. How did Dino Melaye acquire $800 million dollars from holding a public office?

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.
