As we all know, the former Minister of Petroleum was arrested on offences related to bribery and corruption. It is said that she siphoned up to 13 billion pounds from the country’s coffers without being caught. That amount is mind boggling. Even Dangote isn’t that rich.
It makes one wonder what she spent it on. But some (if not all) of us have also imagined what we would spend the money on, if we were ‘blessed’ with that amount of money. Don’t deny it. It’s only human or should we say, it’s the Nigerian thing to do.
These are what Nigerians would spend the money on.
1. Buy the best football clubs and players in the world.
13 billion pounds would buy C. Ronaldo, Messi.. Even Maradona nd Pele to Enyimba Untd.. chnge go remain… ?
