Businessman and Executive Chairman of Jonah Capital, an equity fund, Sir Sam Jonah say the media have grossly exaggerated his wealth in their reportage.
Speaking on the BBUM Show, Sam Jonah stated that he does not have the kind of wealth the media claims he has.
News on my wealth has been grossly exaggerated. But let me just say this that I will, my father will be turning in his grave if he thought that I will be defined by how much I am worth in monetary terms. How much is Sam Jonahs worth? One because I dont have that level of wealth, he explained.
Mr. Jonah, however, mentioned that he would like to be defined by what he stands for and not his wealth.
I would like to be defined by what I stand for. I think my worth will come from the values that I hold and the principles that I hold. I would rather want to be defined by that than pounds and cedis and pesewas. I think its a tragedy people want to be associated with. I mean the others who love that. Unfortunately, I dont. More importantly, I just feel, it is, I think, its not something that you ought to be proud of. That you are defined by what people think you are worth, no, he said.

Also read in my previous article about the notorious Nigerian kidnapper posing as big boy who got arrested fee days ago.
A photo of alleged notorious kidnapper Lion posing with security operatives has been shared online after news of his arrest was reported.
LIB reported earlier that the suspect was traced to Abuja from Bayelsa and was arrested. In the Update, he was seen begging for mercy while claiming he has only kidnapped two people.
Twitter user @drpenking who shared a photo of Lion with the security men wrote;
Lyon the Kidnapper rolling with law enforcement. Imagine suspecting a criminal like this and calling authorities to give useful information about him and the authorities happen to be his friends. Imagine what would happen to you. Nigeria is a scary place.
