Investigations by Breaking Times on Monday revealed that Aisha Buhari, wife of the President of Nigeria wore a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold Diamond Ladies Watch that cost £34,500 to President Buhari’s inauguration on Friday, May 29. The equivalent of this at the current CBN foreign exchange rate of N303 to £1 is N10, 453, 000.The Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold Diamond Ladies Watch 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.
President Muhammadu Buhari was elected riding on the wave of strong anti-corruption, integrity and pro-masses sentiment. This shocking extravagance by Mrs. Buhari runs contrary to earlier indications that the Buharis are modest and the President, a pastoral farmer with 150 cows, barely raised the money to pay for his presidential nomination form.

Hmmm..it is well but Godwin,i guess she worth it but going to investigate on this myself
Hmmmmmmmm! Oh!
That is the type of change Nigerians voted for, Change! Sai Buhari
Hehehe...they've started attacking.... Good one...but am all for Buhari.
Just curious, is there a possibility that that was a gift? Cos you don't expect there won't be goodwill towards them as the inauguration drawed closer...
People brought this out are very stupid and daft,if Buhari is poor,does that make his wife Poor too ?? Habba...Let's use some brain here !!!
If she wear N10Billion watch nko? Who says it's not a gift or she worked for it? Thank God dem just dey enter o, una for dey sure say she thief am. World people!
Hahaa....me no believe dis one,Linda Investigate wella
Hehehehe APC come n counter dis oh party of thieves
Bia linda leave buharis govt alone,don't u know wen to stop????
IT MIGHT BE A REPLICA WATCH. FOR ALL YOU KNOW IT MAY COST $223 ONLY. http://www.timesaleon.com/replica-cartier-libre-baignoire-folle-watch-wb520034-watch-p-1070.html
It was a gift from me. I gave them all I owned to prepare for the inauguration. All these aprokos make una leave our presido and his wife o.
Firstly she is from a rich fam, somone mit giv her as gift neva can tell thirdly dis is least of our probs
Is her Money not Our(Nigeria) Money...So How is that a problem? Ok bcos APC made u guys believe Buhari has a Million in his Acct? If u believed that then u can believe ur mum is still a Virgin...lolzzz
It was a gift, I know because I gave it to her.
On my 25th birthday,my dad spent a whole lot of money to get me a limited edition encrusted omega wrist watch.that was 16 years ago.The first time I wore it after almost 9 years of owning it,the head of the panel interviewing me for a position became aggressive ,insinuating that I was dating someone to be considered for the position and finally spat it out that my watch speaks for itself.
Long story short,it is probably a gift Linda.you carry million naira bags like a lot of us.at her level,its not a big deal
Some people collect bags,others collect something more worthwhile like watches,jewelry etc
But I see you are the secret voice of the pdp.goodluck with that.please remember to also report the good
Wrist watch wey dem davido and dbanj dey buy anyhow pls cut dis people some slack
It was a gift, I know because I gave it to her.
Can this Breaking Times people just have several seats already? GUSH!Their style of ridiculous and appalling criticism bores me to the bone. Awon oniranu buruku.
Is this the change???!!!…YEA RIGHT!!! *snaring*
So??? Ur point being???
Wristwatch wey dem davido and dbanj dey buy anyhow abeg cut her some slack it might even be a gift one thing I know about hausa is dey invest alot of money on wristwatches
Ok o. Change has indeed come. Linda observe
Hmmmm. Dis one na WA.
We don enter one chance o!!! Chai
This woman is another big thief just watch her. They are all the same .
Hmmm. Who owns who? how e take concern una? Amebo...
These people are morons they forget the woman is a business woman with crazy connections and friends... any1 of them could have given her that. The Buhari's seem strategic so I doubt they would have willingly without a clapbook allowed her show off.
I bought it for her...it's fake. Now you and your AyeDee can carry your Amebo somewhere else Linda.
Ok now, let the race begin!!!
Well, atleast it was b4 dey assumed offiice so wats d matter?
At least presido buhari has not received his 1st salary..whc means she is loaded #moneyBag
It could easily av been a gift na. Doubt she even knew it's worth
What if it was a gift? Kai people and their bad belle.
Abegi..... what if it was a gift? Who doesn't know the perks that comes with being a president elect? If they didn't have the money before now, I can assure y'all that they have it in the form of gifts and kinds now. NEXT!!!!!!
What if it's a gift,at least dem neva gain access to govt pocket,d watch doesn't look that expensive
Why do u think she can't wear an imitation and pple will think its the real thing cos of her personality? Wealthy pple get away with so many things. There are some expensive fakes mind you. My pple, leave matter o. To God's glory, we belong to the class of HAVES but sometimes when my mum wears the same piece of jewelry with pple society calls low class,pple think hers is superior simply because of whom she is. Sometimes, things are not what they seem to be u knw.....pls don't get me wrong....all chances are it could be a genuine Cartier but WHAT IF SURPRISINGLY, it wasn't? Food for thought
Make wuna leave our first lady alone oooo
Enof of all dis trash, dis is purely coming 4rm d pdp camp. Its a pure lie
Enof of all dis trash, dis is purely coming 4rm d pdp camp. Its a pure lie
Hmm goodnight. I need to sleep for this one
Since when did she become "the new "first lady?
The first lady simple.
Ok,shoki shoki madam one chance.
That's d change we talking about now
#ITwillONLYgetBETTER
#itMUSTendINpraise
AND THE HUSBAND SAID HE HAS ONLY ONE MILLION NAIRA.
Kiikkii
Could this be true?
Personally I would not spend that amount of money on a watch, but as I understand she previously owned a very lucrative Beauty Parlour, so why not reap the rewards. Or someone could have given her the watch as a gift or god forbid it could be a replica! I believe its very unfair that we are so quick to link purchasing expensive items with corruption.
21st June. Treat your Dad to something special this Fathers Day :)
This is what we call political distraction. She must have owned the watch before swearing in. Its either she bought it or got a gift after her husband won the election and became president elect. This has nothing to do with our 3 major problems Electricity, Insecurity and Corruption. So please let this woman be. Check out Patience Jonathan Estate in Abuja
what an insult............Imagine...then who is fooling who.
Imagine...................fighting corruption.
the watch costs $129
I was expecting the wife and the children to show him up but not so soon
tut tut tut
What if it is fake? Like erm erm........ Tonto
Abeg it's 2 early for bad belle to take over as far as we are concern,bad belles can. Kiss d wind.
Linda your blog is becoming absolute garbage.you take forever to post comments. Comments are what make your blog entertaining.i have said this to you time and time again. You never post my comment. If you like dont post this one either. You are losing readers slowly but surely.
Just few days in office it is well
And so? thank God she wore it now b4 them say it's nigeria money she used to buy it.
Na wah oOoo
Na rubber watch you want make she wear?
Are they also aware that this woman had a thriving beauty clinic and spa before she became 1st lady? She could have easily bought that for herself. But anyway, haters gon' hate. Sai baba Still. Hahahahahaha!
Scary lil Linda @my hand is not in this one o.
Looks like the First Lady is a Baller too.
Hmm.
Could this be true?
Hmmm diarist God o... y'all looking for change right??? dey haven't even started yet.
Hmmm diarist God o... y'all looking for change right??? dey haven't even started yet.
Hmmmm!!!! R u seriooooouuuuussss????? No b change Una say Una want....d nxt ll b 10b..... watch... shokimama
Hmmm diaris God o... y'all looking for change right??? dey haven't even started yet.
How won't you post this one? Has it occurred to your stupid skull that it was probably a gift? Continue looking for ways to bring shame to the man and his family, even tho you try to disguise it. The pit you're digging for them will sink you first.
Dem don start!!!
Don't believe it @all
You guys are just funny.Let's stop all these unnecessary propaganda and let the nation progress.
Vanity!...will the watch tell her the date and time she'll die??...well, its her money to spend. #No Hating.
This is ridiculous nau!! Northerners are too humble to be this extravagant. And who says this is even the real deal?? Trust me, this woman cannot afford to spend this much on a watch, thank you!!!
But u can judge like that, what of if it was a gift
Ain't seen nothing
Freeze of coolfm see what u have started. Freeze is a bad influence on Nigerians. Imagine even the president elects wife. It's a shame. Freeze should be called to order smh
Why? Is she now a brand ambassador or a radio presenter
I learnt she has a fashion company.... so it ain't a crime if she spends her money cos that's the reason we work
Aisha should respect herself and stop disgracing Buhari she isn't compose, a disgrace to Buharism
Hmmmm,d enemies at work...una don fail..lies dat blind.
they washed u but u dont care because osibanji is #2 man abi. #mumus
Sitting down sipping my zobo. What goes around comes around this is just the beginning
So make she wear N1000 wrist watch? Is she not working before now? Mind you her husband is once and now a president. If a man is rich you know through his wife okay? The musicians we have in this country don do the once when pass this one so Linda go hide yourself and say something else abi how much dem dey sell range 2015 when una dey drive around? Jealousy go kill una. Baggas.
The General is not a poor man. You could be wealthy have humility and integrity. He has worked in many executive positions in Nigeria.
Buhari has always been known as a scam. Nigerians are grossly sentimental and it's with the same sentiment they lured their conscience to voting Buhari beside stampeding Jonathan out of the office. Time will unveil and it won't be long!
Change has come
She is a disgrace to Buhari, very materialistic. And she is very restless when she sees men I wonder why she is not compose to compliment her husband
Wow!!!
May be a gift dats can be d only explanation
Time will soon unveild the man behind Buhari. I also knew he is not a saint afterall.sorry for Nigerians who belived so much in him.
Just the beginning. Gullible Nigerians believed all that prudent and anti corrupt nonsense.
God is watching. It might be a gift... who knows... lips sealed.
Now we are talking change....lol
At least no need to declare this asset linda has done it already... next!
Naija una never see anything....onwebedi ife ifu.....(in phyno's voice)
The woman has a spa o. She's a business woman and she doesn't attend to just anyhow persons.
Take note.
Na tinubu dash am
Linda is a card carrying member of the former largest party in Africa
LMAOOOOOOO! DID YOU NOT SEE ALL THE CHANEL AND RAY BANS HIS KIDS WERE ROCKING?
MODEST FARMER MY BUMBUM.
ONLY THOSE WHO DON;T KNOW, WONT NOTICE IT
Stupid write up so Aisha no dey run business b4 abi, thank God they said she wore it to the inauguration and then she wasn't 1st lady yet, nonsense ppl.
linda it's obvious you are very biased about the Buhari administration.
She should have known who her husband is by now,obviously is a gift but a normal 15000 dollar Rolex is not too much.
Y'all should let this man work and quit finding faults! Give him breathing space so he can give Nigeria his best!
Thief
Mr and mrs change.... But how can the likes of Tinubu, Rotimi Amechi and the rest of them bring about good change when we all know they are established criminals... Yes criminals. Linda if u like no post my comment i don yan my mind
Ok ooo. Truth is gradually coming out. No money indeed (eyes rolling)
Hmmmmmmmm game changers mtchewww why re u afraid we need to condemn this if it was d former president everybody will raise hell from d ground
Shez independent and can fend for herself. Make they free am jor so far no be naija money. Till then we go cast.
10 million naira watch on the writs of the First Lady of a nation that has been rated a one of the poorest in the world.....interesting!
I doubt it!....this can't b true...people jst wanna bring dwn these pple so quickly,,,,Haters calm dwn and let baba work!
Nigerians are in for a shock! Buhari is as crafty as a fox! About his asset being declared privately then All of a sudden he has houses in Abuja ,which he claimed he borrowed money to buy it . How then did he ever expect to pay back this borrowed money. Why is his wife closing up her beauty school when she wouldn't remain the First Lady forever??? My gullible Nigerians you have voted, now lets watch.
Cant she wear a golden wristwatch again.Did she use nigeria's money to buy it? All these are trivial issues.
No wonder they refused to declare their assets publicly, instead they are asking us to wait for 100 days, but I can't remember waiting for 100 days in the case of late Yaradua . Na God go help us for this country !!!

The scrutiny begins...
Its so sad that Nigerians sometimes like to feast on senseless and worthless issues, Buhari is just a 3-day-old president and you're already castigating his wife over her wristwatch which wasn't bought with Government's money... Is this Nigeria's problem?... What if the wristwatch is a gift? What if this woman herself doesn't even know the value or price of the wristwatch?... Its good to checkmate our public office holders but while we're doing that, it's necessary we apply common sense.... How sure are you that Linda Ikeji doesn't have a N10m wristwatch? If She does, will you call her a corrupt woman too?
Tinubu paid the media to present Buhari to us as a saint but I never bought into that hoax because this First Lady doesn't look like the wife of a cattle rearer and how come his daughters all schooled abroad abi we no get good schools for Naija??? Abeg make we hear word jare, the corruption continues... Next please!!!
Asaba si na ife onye cho ko fu.Nigerian's has gotten what they want(One chance). Chai Buhari!!!
*Linda's best friend*
This is exactly the kind of change we need right? Sit down look na dog name......
So long as she wore this wristwatch b4 them swear for Buhari on the 29th, Linda, The Breaking Times and other bad belle people can go to hell
Pls allow me to laugh in Latin, kikikihaaaha
At least she bought it before assuming power. Haters go to hell!
so fucking what? the man hasnt been in govt in 25 yrs. She came with it to govt.She's a businesswoman. Cant she treat herself. They did not use public funds to buy it. What if it was a gift. Bloody hypocrites in this country.
Linda u really need to be careful how u put up all these fake and irritating lies,this wristwatch costs just 129$ and there's a link to the store in case u'll like to get the same stuff...be careful lady and stop feeding people with ur bs
It could have been a gift. .
That's the change we're talking about.
True that
She had this before the price of dollars skyrocketed and it was a gift to her from her own family member.
How do you now d cost of the watch, is too early to start condeming, time will tell.
Maybe it was a gift...is it not too early to start passing dis kind of message dat cud send d wrong signal 2 people...
Ok naa... Let's go there!; no be change una want?..mind you, a president's wife cannot wear fake.
Change, here we come!
Hmmm. Really??? Speechless!
this is fraud how can buhari told nigerians that he doesnt have money but can aford to buy
N10m watch who is fooling who buhari can be the most corrupt president nigeria will have
All are see are Hausa Fulani thieves. O God please give us Biafra so everyone can go there separate ways
Baseless criticism, PDP foolish propaganda as usual. They can never form formidable opposition.
PDP don start with their foolish baseless criticism
I love you sis Linda
Haters!
What should a presidents wife wear? Could even be a gift!!
Don't worry we will soon see our actors and actresses wearing it. It could be a gift from the company or her old business.
You never see anything.
The first change.. hahaha hahah
It could be a gift. Dis one na moimoi for favour and position seekers . D likes of Andy Uba, Emeka Offor. Aurthur Eze or even Dangote go drop dis one naa. Anything for the first lady. Na 10naira position?
Please remind me again wia is EFCC..they most investigate her beauty shop that she just closed down...this ppl are hypocrates
WTF !!!!!!!
Honestly i do not see why people should be surprised. The theme of Buhari's government is CHANGE and this is change from Patience Jonathan's cheap artifices to Aisha's exotic ensemble. Sai Buhari!!
Hmmn word but let's see how everything goes.. Who can we trust self
Chai! Linda Amebo is ur choice
Might just be used for a photo shoot. All these frustrated GEJ supporters will capitalize on it having in mind his administration failed by creating a wide margin between the high class and low class allowing middle class scraped.
*scoffs* naijas ain't seen nothing yet! Pfft saint buhari...we'll def see that Gej was a better choice than this aboki.. No offense mr president :|
Mtcheww!!
Beefers just looking for a way to bring PMB down using anything they can. For God's sake the replica of this watch is in a number of places in US talkless of China where the replica experts are. As in good replicas that you need to see the original placed close to the replica before you know which is which
For instance that watch Aisha wore is 223 dollars in the link below
http://www.timesaleon.com/replica-cartier-libre-baignoire-folle-watch-wb520034-watch-p-1070.html
Haters be warned
fraud pple fools
Lool...the Jonsing has just begun...the more u look the more you see oo...#amout
people forgot that this woman schooled abroad,had a beauty parlour in kaduna.made her own money pls what is wrong with her spending her money the way she likes
And my husband is a cattle rearer.God is 'washing'
Change I see,smeewt*
it's sad that people mistake humility for kindness.. Buhari is humble, but who can say he's kind enough to move Nigeria forward?? his wife is wearing a 10 million naira watch, wonder if Dame Patience ever one as expensive as this..
What if its the person that stylied her that brought the watch Nigerians and the way they think chai
It probably could be a gift from any politician trying to be loyal I guess. She may not even know the real worth of the watch.
He who is without sin should throw the first stone. It is too early in day to be hearing and seeing this.
It probably could be a gift from any politician trying to be loyal I guess. She may not even know the real worth of the watch.
A beg make I hear words haters...person no fit buy the watch as gift give her abi the one David mark buy GEJ nkor...and before month make Ashai comot come tell us where she save money buy the watch if no be gift for I wanna find favour political-business men....
I'm a jeweler myself, that watch sure is that expensive but it ain't no crime if she own that. I own a Cartier ballon bleu and dat cost £30,000. Prolly she own it long time ago.
#Kennyjonezjewelry

These news amebo pple sef. What's ur own with her watch? This man has not even signed a cheque to his name since he entered presidency and u r already talking about the wife's watch. This is a woman that has beauty institutes. Do u know how much northern women spend on jewellery? Do u even know if it was a gift? Pls allow d man work abeg. Wait and talk about their properties a year after.
When Tai Solar in was alive he wore khaki like gov Oshiomhole throughout, yet his wife never wore khaki.
Who saw mrs Buhari's watch receipt, maybe na made in Taiwan self?!
May God bless mama peace. Na cut and sow mama peace dey wear o. Chai I see no CHANGES.
Still Playing: Changes by Tupac.
Madam Linda biko we all know she just closed her beauty parlour n she must have had it long before now either as a gift or something n besides she's a thousand times better dan "d Kardashian"
Let wait and see what will be the outcome of this allegation. I believe this is the change they are talking about hmm I keep my finger cross.
o she she bere
For those who believe he could not raise money for his form... are you babies? Besides from the first few interview this lady granted... she told the public she was from a royal family... Please for those who are oblivious to Northern royalty... she is not from a poor background. Plus she wore the wrist watch before her husband was sworn into office that day so it couldn't have been tax payers' money. Please Nigerians take a chill pill.
Shut up sir.!
Abeg I have a "GL" earrings worth 200K abeg who go buy I don broke like mad.
No playing: When A Woman Love
This is baseless. If u Linda can afford the things and stuffs u pay for why can't someone else????
Not playing: When A Woman Love
It's possible,i also own a cartier worth £1,250,so Linda convert dat 2 naira.Dats a small me oo.And I heard she's really a big time biz woman.Linda dis is no news joor.
You are such a big fool , you lack reasoning
Patience Jonathan did worse. Acquired properties all over d country. See her massive house in okrika and ph. See her estate in Abuja and her hotels in bagels. All within her husband being in govt. mrs Buhari has always had money and worked hard. Not greedy patience. The dffrence is clear pls. Look at all patience pics n d jewellery she wore . Mrs Buhari is from a wealthy Fulani family. Her father was the first defence minister in Nigeria.
Bad belle
Pls no comparison with patience. She is not greedy patience pls
Why are u talking like a fool? Where u not here when they deceived Nigerians telling us that he had to borrow money to buy his form and that he doesn't have a house in Abuja and all the lies they said? Meanwhile this man chopped a lot of money from ptf and even has a house in London where his kids stay Abi na beans dem take dey train children for London? Who is deceiving who? Na corner eye I take dey look them.
Can't you read? Is it Linda dat brought out the news
Thank you bro...
They are just a sore looser must expecially my fellow Nigeria from south, keep calm Buhari Muhammadu is your president.
Your father there.
Patience Jonathan no be multi millionaire before be a first lady? Why bad belle dey talk about her estate?
In other news, stupid buhari said he had less than 1m in his account before election o
Naija, so you dere wen she was given the wrist watch
Made her own money? Really? So why did they have to borrow money to buy his presidential election form.
This is the actual picture with the price.. lovely ,timeless, timepiece
http://www.thewatchgallery.com/shop/cartier-baignoire-folle-18-carat-white-gold-diamond-watch-wb520034.html
I am not one to make comments on blogs but I feel a need to speak to this. I think it is unfair to criticize Buhari over his wife's extravagance. You Linda, in a past blog said Mrs Buhari had a beauty institute, one of a kind in Kaduna. Why would you suppose she did not buy the watch herself? What does that have to do with her husband's modesty! Surely, she can afford it if she had a thriving business, just as you can afford your expensive bags, which run in to thousands of dollars. Let's be cautious of mindless criticism. Thankfully she wore this watch before she stepped into her role as First Lady, when everyone would have sworn the money for it is from government coffers.
That is for the replica the real deal is more expensive.
