..I hope gee guys will not start to claim them from Nigeria claiming that they are their relatives ..
.. still looking for his papa o

This is where we have sincere government
Make i hear say federal government of Nigeria do this kind thing

Humn! This is a serious issue. No known family or relations?

There family nember or next if kin should be ed

maasoap:


U no see that there is no way to know their family ?

But if na thief dem thief, they would be traced to their deep root

Abeg, if see them family, I can help trace that easily

vanity...
Nothing last forever.
This used to be there preferred travel destinations,,, now it's abandoned.

Even fani kayode brother is among.

N

Are you kidding me go and claim it they will not release it giving excuses like... This is eye service.

Ance4Liverpool:
This is where we have sincere government
Make i hear say federal government of Nigeria do this kind thing

They should post Nigerian in the uk prisons for drug related offences, I want to check something !

See money

A sane government that keeps records of its late citizens. Even after their demise, their assets still remains intact. If it were in Nigeria, our thievery banks would have stolen their money from their s through bank officers.
Nigeria a shameless country.

Btw, what's Fani Kayode doing in the list? What happened to the popular family that they can't claim their own?

Ance4Liverpool:

Assets wey dem go share within themselves?

Many Next of Kin runaway because of the huge tax they have to pay on the properties

That's big assets all over there while many of their direct family languishing in poverty in Nigeria. That's life for you.

Mismanagement of funds

See o

One of my uncles from mother's side had been in UK since 1980,before I was even born. He's the first born and only son,and since then he had not come to Nigeria. When my grandma died in 2009,he no show up,we even tot he's dead,but some Nigerians in UK that used to see him said he's still alive.

When my grandpa died In 2012 at 98,the man no still show up despite reaching out to him. Shishi he no send. I heard from history that his papa used his life savings to send him to sch in those days because he's a male and that's why my mother didn't go beyond secondary sch.

That story still dey pain my mama till this day, that she now fears any of her children leaving Nigeria. She prefers mk she dey see us like this even if we dey struggle. Life sha!!

There are tons of people like this in Nigeria with millions lying fallow in s and houses and assets that no relative know of.

Number 27 though 🤭

Lots of bachelors on the list.

Rip

As a living person I can't trust zenith Bank with my 1k

Hmmm life... at the end of it all everything will be left behind... yet greed, lusts etc are still the order of the day

shivisee:
They should post Nigerian in the uk prisons for drug related offences, I want to check something !

it can never be more than 2 million igbos in indian prison

These people are dead yet, their wealth is still active. Whereas, there are people alive who are as good as dead as they have absolutely nothing! This life nor truly balance for real..

You look at some blessed people, it is as if their blessings are too much that they don't even know what to do with all the money, but there are people who's life would improve for good, only if they had at least 10% of what these privileged few have..

*Abeg make I go warm my oil rice chop🚶...

Yorubas... The Real Developers

Those are the very stingy ones, no family or relatives that bothers looking them up.

Fani Kayode. Lol

Oduduwa money

Tinubuadvocate:

And who says so ? As long as you are able to offset the accrued taxes if any the assets will be released.
