Aisha Buhari's Wrist Watch Saga

By Gentry Damilola 

Nigeria’s new president wife wore an expensive wristwatch for her official portrait and for the inauguration of her husband. The watch was first speculated to be £34,500 equivalent ₦10,453,000. According to a report by Breaking Time “Mrs Buhari rocked the expensive designer Cartier Baigniore Folle Wristwatch… the 18 –carat white gold comes in a case made of Rhodiumised white gold set with brilliant-cut diamonds. On the side of the case is an octagonal crown set with a diamond. The case is 44mm high, 35mm wide and 10mm thick and is covered by glare-proof sapphire crystal glass.’’
Many people then started writing different things about the watch, people who are already waiting to ridicule the government of the new president. Many said that the wife of the new president who claimed he had 150 cows and could barely pay for the presidential form should not be seen with that expensive watch. What if someone gave it to her? She just became the wife of the president. Lots of gifts will troop in. Some even said she should have returned it if it was a gift. Why should she return it?
To stop people’s mouth from wagering, Mrs Buhuari revealed that the wristwatch was just a replica of the original one. Whether it is true or not, Mrs Buhari can wear anything she wants.
