From Encomium magazine
According to our sources, among the four

Thus, his luxury tax annually will be an

Dangote who has three private jets in his
hanger will also pay an average of N399
million per annum. Dr. Mike Adenuga,
Jnr, whose Falcon 7x and Bombardier jet
are used for personal and business
purpose should pay an average of N266
million. Governor Rotimi Amaechi and his
Akwa Ibom counterpart, Governor
Godswill Akpabio would shell out an

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor falls into the same

The clash of the titans between the Federal
