His wife and kids, who have since been abandoned by the former president's friends and business associates, now live in a small flat at the state housing estate along Murtala Mohammed highway in Calabar. No aides, no cruising of luxury cars, no partying, no money to spend lavishly. That's their new life now.
Charles Taylor was forced to resign as president and take up political asylum in Nigeria. He arrived Nigeria with his family on August 12, 2003 but was extradited in 2006 to stand trial for war crimes.
In 2012, he was found guilty of all 11 counts of "aiding and abetting" war crimes and crimes against humanity.

So where is all the money they got from the sale of the famed Bloos Diamonds?
Dem no save for rainy days such as this or were they expection Mr. Taylor (Obioma) to stay with them forever ???
What goes around comes around. Change is the only constant. Let the CR State Government give them land to farm, so they can eek out a living like millions of Nigerians do.

Lol..I had to calculate too, exactly wat I am paying for my one bedroom in london na wa
The evil that men do live after them.
every nigerian should learn a lesson from them,mostly politician.
VERY SAD, GOD REWARDS EVERYONE http://mytestimonys.blogspot.com/2013/05/bishop-feb-idahosa-testifies_20.html
Too bad, no investments? No personal properties?? Nothing 2 fall back on???
They should have moderated his actions.
Wow! I'm surprised! I tot he bought that house.. Oh well it's a piry. At least the wife still has a roof over her head. Mansion or not!!!
2.5 million per annum for this big mansion? when people pay as much as 3million for a 3bedroom flat per annum in Abuja. Landlords for Abuja don determine say dem go kill us one way or the other. *rme*
You said Ikoyi that's like the Beverly Hills of Lagos. It's only going to go up.
Ewo! Na wa ooo! Bible talked am. I hope they have money to pay the rent for the flat too. They should search well for hidden treasures or ask their Papa where he stocked away his property.
THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME.
The evil that men do. Though u can't really chose ur father so i feel sorry for his kids
many days for the thief one day for the owner
dem go soon hawk roasted boli and pure water.this is just the beginning.they enjoyed with their evil father so they have to suffer with him.
Its good riddance to bad rubbish,serves them right.now those kids can quit being a nuisance to the peaceful people of calabar.I've waited for this for too long...Horrible Family!
This will only make Nigerian politicians steal n hoard more money n treasures.The dude didn't even steal much!not being able to pay mere 2.5million per annum consistently for 10 yrs- He is definitely a learner.Ex local govt chairmen in Nigeria can afford 10million naira worth apartment yearly for 50 yrs.So so sad that Nigerian politicians are pacesetters for money laundering and corruption.Abacha's stolen wealth alone can sustain a whole nation for a CENTURY.Don't want to mention d. Likes of OBJ,Shonekan,Babangida........Oh my.
Lesson to some govns who refuse to pay their workers' salaries.
Why is it that Nigeria is now a refuse dump for all the unwanted human beings from other African countries?
Moral of the story is that power is transient.
Then I wonder what you would say about abuja cause you would pay more than that in asokoro or maitama believe me
You haven't lived in Abuja my dear, that's why. You'll freak
Liberian Mafian....wat goes around comes around..God pls don't let me suffer for wat I did not do oooo...Amen!!
Its a standard. Generations suffer d sin of one man. That's why if we decide to be wicked, we should Atlst remember those we'd leave behind
--Teeteelahyo--
I just pity d family.
Relocate.....
Its a pity dat they are suffering for a crime they didn't commit hmmm i rest my case here
trust no man,he trusted in obasanjo.....right now,he is dead..obasanjo is in his hill top mantion at ota........sadly his family left behind cant even pay rent..
[dont be in a hurry in life but dont let any one leave you behind]--"o.h the wise"
What about the one that 2baba is seriously knacking in NY, she join the ones wen them throway abi she no come nigeria again *lipsealed* Linda post my comment o.
Blossom go and help your family na
Just N2.5millon a year and they can't pay up? That's what we pay for a 2bedroom flat here in abuja.
I hope all you people claiming your father's money are taking notes....omo baba olowos..personally, i work n thrive for mine, my fathers money is his own-it sure helps tho-wink
2.5mill for a mansion in calabar?Lagos but y???this town's crazy!!! #Bishie just capped
See prayer!
Lmao @stalking efforts..
Ogah mr abuja I presently live in abuja
From prada to nada
I mean if they Taylor had prepared 4 the rainy day by investing wisely while he was on top, his family wouldn't have been suffering by now
Way r talking about self, his money is stashed safely somewhere. Probably he doesn't want his wife 2 know about it.
People, there are two sides to a coin. He's had the rosy part but now is time for the not so rosy side. All na for him pocket. You reap what you sow. While all was well with him, the family enjoyed, now things have gone sow they have to take it the way it has come. Abi no be so?
