His wife of many years turned 60 early this month and the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, bought her a customized 2012 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead worth 330 thousand pounds. The car was released into the market just a few weeks before Lady Cherry got one as a birthday gift. Happy birthday in arrears to her...

On the other hand.. Guilt is all written on that gesture.... Definitely did something wrong.. Lol
This why our leaders (Igbenidion inclusive) steal us blind...vanity. For those shouting, Cars (and other ephemeral things) don't give happiness, and if u doubt it, ask those that bought limosine
DeleteI did not know this guy still makes money
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't need to make money anymore. He son successfully packed all Edo states money. Up to their 10th generation will still benefit from that money.
DeleteIs she gonna drive it in Benin? She deserves it anyways. Any woman who puts up with this man for so many years deserves the world.
ReplyDeleteAll hail the Esama.......... Long may you live.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of money in a country where most people can't even afford to eat.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting
Point of correction,dis guy is no longer the esama of benin kingdom!he was stripped of dis title not too long ago!

ReplyDeleteWhy do u girls pray to God to give u a man like igbinedion. Simply ask for yours.there r things u don't know and will never know from afar about humans.
ReplyDeletePardon my ignorance,where did this man make his money from in the first place? huh
ReplyDeleteWhat do you people mean waste of money, this is a very wealthy man who has been living luxiriously for nothing less than 40yrs. Can't people be rich because you are poor. Even the richest man in the worl can't solve all the problem in the world if he spends his last cent trying. Pray that you have wealth that you are comfortable with so you can use it to solve all the problems in nigeria! Awon hypocrites. From your little how many ppl have you helped???
ReplyDeleteAbeg Oga Igbenedion you can spend 3ce the amount if you very well pls
Waste of money. Smh. What would that old woman be doing with a Rolls Royce at this age? Mtcheww. Gimme the money and I'll use it to revive our dying country.
ReplyDeleteMust u all always criticize , can't we just see a good thing and celebrate with people. U all should go and read about Esama properly, u will know he his one of the most generous businessmen in Nigeria, the man opened mid motors in 1962 , as one d first private motor assembly company in Africa with 3 million pounds, go and ask ur father about this man. He has made billions before his soon became a governor. He has soup kitchen in edo state since 1985 , where his was feeding his people, for lbreakfast, lunch and dinner, to be on top for over 50 years, and still able to be relevant, my people it can only be blessing of God.... Ask ur parents how difficult it is to maintain been up top. U children are to young to appreciate the ESama of Benin... Ur parent will
ReplyDeleteNa him get him money, make him spend am how he like, he his not a child. He has over 55 years in business experience, so he know it won't affect his deep pocket, so envy no more my people
ReplyDeletena park dem go still park the car join the ones wey dey ground.
ReplyDeleteOn those Benin roads???
ReplyDeleteIbere oshi,where there are some student who cant even afford to pay their sch feels.he use that kind of money to buy a car mscheeeeeeeew to much money

ReplyDeleteSee where me nd my siblings skl fees dey go kai. Pls Esama come and use dat money tO build new hostels for us in benin. We re tired of paying house rent.abeg!
ReplyDeleteTuition money from Igbinedion Uni students! RIDICULOUS
ReplyDeleteSome of us pay close to a million Naira every year to make this possible. Wish her a great new year ahead. Esama doesn't joke with lady Cherry.
ReplyDeleteNIger we hail dee
ReplyDeleteThat's why the bible says it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God,why buy dis kind of car when the money can be used to help so many wretched people in Benin,must u use an 83million naira car to proove ur love.
ReplyDeleteChai..my own will b bigger...Amen!
ReplyDeleteNigerians stop beefing. tufiakwa u guys can't appreciate good things. jealousy will kill all u haters. instead of u to tap into the blessing u r hating. he is a business man and didn't steal your money olodos. who told you guys he doesn't help the poor. silly people
ReplyDeletego hustle and make your money stop beefing. when u make yours lets c if u will dash all your money to the poor. stupid people. if u have the money u spend it. mind u rich people abroad buy more expensive cars. stop talking rubbish about Nigerians and flamboyant lifestyle because you cant afford it. i know you will do worse if u were opportune to have money.
ReplyDeleteA car she'll probably use only on special occasions.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn! Did she catch him cheating on her red-handed? But like someone said before, luxury cars are wasted on Nigerian roads, except for Abuja maybe. Why don't they fix the roads first?
ReplyDeletePeople stop hatin. This is wat i call true love. God sen me my own too
ReplyDeleteWe all knw he luvs her vry much bt 83million naira car is too much *my opinion
ReplyDeleteSo money still dey?? the ones diverted by Lucky into his Dad's private account..before Adams..heard not a single road was repaired in 8 years..now we see what the money has been saved for..In a city reeking with poverty and bad roads..where is this going to be driven??

ReplyDeleteGood for them.
ReplyDeleteLet's learn to assist the poor pls.
ReplyDeleteWaoh! N83m? I salute this nice gesture towards your wife, what a distinct way to handle responsibility. Tell me now why Mr Igbenedion wont so much command respect from his wife.
ReplyDeleteSome married men dont just get it that, 'if you cant handle responsibility, you cant be respected'- Bishop Noel Jones.
Going by the comments on dis post it just goes far to show our priorities as individuals and even as a nation, you come here blowing trumpet and celebrating mediocrity,corruption and flamboyant unnecessary display of stolen wealth.. Have we bothered to ask how many lives this so called gesture would have improved,how many school and community health center that money would have built. NO we won't as selfish,self centered,double standard and mediocre nigerians who instead to asses the performance and motive of their leaders will rather climb on the bandwagons...SIMBA
ReplyDeletethe esama indeed...
ReplyDeletehttp://omoirefo.blogspot.com.au/
83 million naira could save so many Edo indigenes languishing in poverty admist riches...just a thought.
ReplyDeleteSO HE STILL HAS MONEY..WHAT DOES HE DO FOR A LIVING NOW?????
ReplyDeleteTo All Haters
ReplyDeleteYou need to shut the fuck up. Whats your business with how igbinedion spends his money. He can choose not to give a dime to charity its right.
you only call it vanity because you dont have that much. When you guys make that much money you would spend much more.
@Anon 11.14 PM
What makes it nonsense? could it be because you dont have that much therefore you are envious?
@temi doyin
waste of resources? whose resources? yours or his? what makes it a waste? Because you dont fancy such things does not mean other people should not.
As long as its legal everyone is entitled to spend their money as they wish.
its jst a mata of time we ll b there GOD BLESS ME
ReplyDeleteHe has tons of money generated from his schools especially the medical faculty which has hundreds of students paying fees but not proceeding to the next level due to old accreditation problems...*smh God dey..
ReplyDeleteto the person asking if the Rolls will last on naija roads...Cherry is based in the UK and am sure thats where the Rolls is....she is jamaican or one of those caribbean islands
ReplyDeleteWhere she wan drive ds car?for benin road abi na where?nigerians na wa sha!where was ds Esama when France sent delegates to come and take a boy for surgery in France?an NGO 4 dt matter?!we should really try to stop being vain in naija.its appalling!people are dying left right n center,God blesses us,to be a blessing in return to others who are an extension also of him here on earth...wish her safe driving..na dem sabi!
ReplyDeleteBorrowed money.....
ReplyDeletePure Vanity and nothing else!
ReplyDeleteGranted, the car is beautiful but in a country ridden with crime and insecurity, is this a wise gift????
ReplyDeleteLucky sorted out his Dad sha.
ReplyDeleteMtcccchhhheeeeewwww......imagine oooo
ReplyDeleteAre they aware that Enebeli Elebuwa is still in the hospital just because he can't afford his bills.If only..........
ReplyDeletePoint of correction Esama of Benin kingdom was never stripped of his title . It is till his death . You people can hate . This is the epitomey of a lady a real woman . You have not walked one second in her shoes . Give respect where it is due . The woman done try and is still trying .
ReplyDeleteWhat does "pass the mic" mean biko? I wan follow among.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people are in awe and praising this crook whose son stole his state blind when governor. We really deserve our corrupt leaders.
ReplyDeleteThunder fire all these useles leaders stealing our money. That car better be able to fly u to the moon.
ReplyDeletePlease how many times will Igbinedion be 60?! He is nearing his 80s now or did his wife forget †o give him a 60th birthday gift? He now has 3 rolls-royce phantoms by my count (2 black, 1 cream) ignoring his endless line øf̲̣̣̣̥ 7series BMW and Lexuses. Isn't that enough?! Na wa o!
ReplyDeleteAs for all those that envy him or his wife, be careful øf̲̣̣̣̥ what you wish for 'cos you may just get it.
PS. G. O. Igbinedion was born in september
ReplyDeleteNanya says...which road d car go pas?mmssccchhhheeewwwwwww
ReplyDeleteYes his son stole the state money and what did any of you (edos) do about it or what can you do. You edo people have too much big mouth with no action. Yes you all really deserve corrupt leaders.
ReplyDeleteWhere will this car be driven?
ReplyDeleteBe quick to support and slow to envy. Applaud those doing better than you. Learn from them instead of hoping they fall.May God helps us all amen.
ReplyDeletewow...2012 model? i wonder which part of Nigeria the car will be driven, abi na air car be this
ReplyDeleteThe Esama was NEVER stripped of his coveted title inspite of his perceived perfidy and intransigence.
ReplyDeleteThis is why nigeria is still where it is. nstead of spreadng wealth some ppl wna hug it. You better live for ever to enjoy ur accumulated wealth. Fools!! BTW, LINDA I MADE A COMMENT AND IT WAS LONGER THAN THE OTHER ONE I WROTE YESTERDAY. WHAT DID U DO WITH IT? SHOULD I NOT BOTHER COMMENTING THEN, IF YOU'RE GONNA JUST NOT APPROVE IT?? MCHHEWWWWWWWWW
ReplyDeletepschew!!!!!!
ReplyDeletena waoooo
ReplyDeleteLet dem enjoy d dough ...make urs anyhow and spend it how you like too
ReplyDeleteWell Dilly of "dilly motors" got one for my sister(his wife) as a valentine present this year.. oh, and he's nt a thieving politician :p
ReplyDeleteThose of you guys criticizing Esama's Rolls Royce for his wife are funny people. What is your business with what some one did with his money,go and work for yours. I respect Esama a lot. He got to that level in life through business, not politics.
ReplyDeleteThis is because he was smart. As you all know it is not easy to be smart, good or bad. So you should respect him.
A man who controlled fleet of Boeing 767 aircraft for years, what is a Rolls Royce car form. Though, it is normal to be jealous.
