How Come Our Humble President has so much time threatning a US based
website instead of Facing Greedy Politicians & Boko Haram.
When last did We hear any President from any corner of earth threatning a website for an award? It has never happened before,For God sake We have so many issues at hand,
When last did We hear any President from any corner of earth threatning a website for an award? It has never happened before,For God sake We have so many issues at hand,
Boko Haram
Electricity
Eployment
Corruption
Oil Bunkery
Arms deal
Too many more.
As a President,You do not go about replying every thing that happens in Your name,This same President:
>Replied Obasanjo's Letter Unreasonably
> Denied Threatning to Sack Lecturers even when His Representative made it clear.
How come He did not stop TAN from Campaigning even when He knows it is wrong until US condemned the use of #BRINGBACKGOODLUCK.
Of all these issues above Our President see it more fit to address an innocent website who made their analyses clear.
The US-based website, Richest Lifestyle, which listed President Goodluck Jonathan as Africa’s sixth richest president has retracted the publication.
Richest Lifestyle had ranked Jonathan alongside King Mswati III of Swaziland, stating that both African leaders were worth $100m (N16.5 bn) in the publication titled “Africa’s Richest Presidents 2014.”
Following the publication, the President had threatened to institute a legal action against the publishers of the online magazine, stating that the ranking lacked “factual basis.”
“The Presidency condemns the totally unwarranted inclusion of President Jonathan in the publication titled “Africa’s Richest Presidents 2014” as another attempt to unjustifiably portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection against him.
“As is well known, President Jonathan has never been a businessman or entrepreneur, but a life-long public servant. The clear and unacceptable imputation of the claim that President Jonathan is now worth about $100 Million is that the President has corruptly enriched himself while in office which is certainly not the case,” the Presidential Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, had said in a statement on Wednesday.
But the global magazine which claims to showcase “rich, famous and fabulous people around the globe” said on Thursday that it based its evaluation of Jonathan’s worth on information and statistics it gleaned from a sister global celebrity magazine, CelebrityNetWorth.com.
While the other African leaders on the list remained intact in the rankings, the Richest Lifestyle simply deleted the segment detailing Jonathan’s net worth on the portal.
“This article (on Jonathan) has been removed. The net worth was evaluated by Celebrity Net Worth,” the online magazine wrote, without giving reasons why it took down the President’s profile.
An enquiry made by iPUNCH to the Richest Lifestyle on the circumstances surrounding the taking down of the President’s profile on the ranking was not responded to as at press time.
However, Celebrity Net Worth explained on its website that it does not cook up statistics, adding that its “figures and articles are thoroughly researched.”
“All of our figures and articles are thoroughly researched, scrutinised and fact checked by our team of writers and financial analysts.
“The figures are acquired from all publicly available information including salaries, real estate holdings, divorces, record sales, royalties and endorsements. The estimated net worths come from a formula that takes out taxes, manager’s fees, agents’ fees, and lifestyle,” the California-based celebrity finance outlet, founded in 2009, wrote on its website.
While Richest Lifestyle removed Jonathan from the ranking on its portal, Celebrity Net Worth retained the publication which was put together by its senior developer and search engine consultant, Alex Chan, on its portal.
Apart from the President, Richest Lifestyle also ranked the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Ministries, David Oyedeopo, as the richest pastor in the world, in its “Top 10 Richest Pastors in the World 2014” list.
