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.

Ooooo
The campaign rubbish was all a joke.. See them mtchew
Even the daughters gold jewelries on May 29th was valued as 1million naira each at wuse market, abuja exact type,
As long as it's not our money you all should fuck off. One more thing this woman had a business that she was running in my opinion she could have easily afforded that watch. Yeye people. Don't go and look for work. No b Ohimai people be this? Una never start. 4yrs is a long time o. Idiots
Doesn't she have life savings......? Who's business is it if she decides to spend it on a watch?
Baseless gist
Do you think she is lazy, she runs one of the best beauty make up outlet in Nigeria..she deserve the best not like your lazy first ladies, who have nothing to do than support their husbands squander Nigeria's hard earn wealth.
No Buhari took bank loan to buy his presidential nomination form. If anybody kicks against Buhari and his family, i will take my bath naked and sleep with my eyes closed. @amfestus
Thank you for the information, we will investigate and make the findings public.
Thank you once again!

The Breaking Times problem.
Hmmmm, dis is really getting interesating afterall they voted for change so d change start wit them.
So don't blame her if she put on such amounts of wrist watch. She has to display change. Case close.
Happy New Month!
I pray today marks total turn around in our lives, and point of contact to every household wit God meeting our needs even b4 they arise.
Change does not necessarily assure progress but progress implacably requires change. Change is inevitable. Change 4d better is a full-time job.
Change is here in Nigeria, and remember true change begins with a change in our attitude!
God bless Nigerians!
God bless our leaders!
God bless Linda Ikeji, and all LIB reader's!
Welcome 2d month of June!
Shalom!

Una dey craze. U guys should leave her alone. Na beautiful Lady,so anytin she wears is obviously seen unlike mama P. Lol
OK oh
Could b a gift from anyone who's very wealthy and lobbying for something from her end. Common Dele M can give her 5 of that, Amaechi, Tinubu just to mention a few!
Hmmmmm dis is just d beginning of change some of us wanted. Enjoy ma, nufin do u.
Lol Breaking times...the platform sponsored by Obanikoro and some articles written by nimwits like Ohimai (MrFixNIgeria) and the likes. Lol you people should chill and wait for actual scandal not all this rubbish of verified Twitter or not and wrist watch rubbish talks. You can't continue this petty for the next four years, PDP there is enough time...RELAX. It can't be a gift? She doesn't have rich kids and family? You should research about the professors that her family, She owned the best beautician company in K before she just closed it down. Na big man pikin and big man they patronise her...cars of life in front of the shop! Please let's be serious and look for actual critiquing.
I can authoritatively tell you that breaking times is sponsored by OBANIKORO!
Lmfao! Thumbs up to this shallow and narrow minded libers who think Buhari is not corrupt! Please let me sip and drink on my tea while watching what unfolds in Ngeria in the next four years
So?? is it ur money,and wat if it was a gift??? Abeg make una free our baba's wife joor.
The woman owns one of the biggest spas in Abuja and from a rich home and she worked hard to get her business going. Would you say the same if Bianca ojukwu wore a watch like that.
People self. Busy bodies. No mind them. Remi Lagos gave her one from her collections, after Asiwaju approved
Aisha is a hard working woman and a beauty spa owner, haba she is a woman and deserve the best for her self,
Wetin? do you think she should not look good ? abeg jarre make we here joor
Ok o sitdon look
She hadn't had access to the public funds by then so it shouldn't count
She hadn't had access to the public funds by then so it shouldn't count
Yawninnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May have been a gift?
And do whatever? She did not acquire it when they got to also rock a I?
We have been scammed. ..i thought the husband has only 1m in his account?
AND SO WHAT, SHE DID NOT BUY THE WATCH WITH GOVT MONEY SO WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM WITH THAT NOW EHN, NIGERIANS HAVE PROBLEM O.
mr. integrity my foot. this is just the beginning.
Linda calm down na abeg we don't need this now pls u have a good reputation
it may or may not be d same watch, but it was not'our' money. it cud hav been a gift
Hmm! We have no concrete proof yet if its up to 10m
where they expecting the wife of a president to wear a cheap wrist watch. Nigerians with there wahala. Thousands of people are ready to buy that for her without blinking
hmmmmmmmmm out of the "No money" wey d husband no get ok ooooooooo
Hahahahahahhahaaha Nigerians una neva see anytin person wey him daughter dey rock betta channel clothes, smmmmmhhhhhh
Please Do not forget that shes married to a poor man that couldnt afford his presidential nomination form. and some poeple donated their savings for him... i always knew the "buhari is a poor man" thing was a marketing strategy. kudos to APC... Lets sha support the new govt.
If its true then its part of the change people
want.
So much for modesty and simplicity,or should I say hypocrisy.
But linda you now has crystal ball o.
can you guys let this family breathe....this is stupid, for years this woman owned a spa that was doing amazingly well. She works so why exactly can't she spend her money. whatever her, her husband or her children may have purchased before now is nobody's business because it is their personal, hard-earned money. If he doesn't work as president, or he steals from nigeria then everyone has a right to speak. Please cut them some slack, he was once a military head of state, and once a minister and She also had her own business. I'd be worried if they couldn't afford certain things
Na now we start!
Nigerians only just begun realising they have been deceived
Haters should just go and sit down, they haven't even started earning money and just assumed the throne so people can't tell me they embezzled, they were never poor so haters should get that straight!
Beautiful woman.

So what? She's the first lady of Nigeria for christ sake,What do you expect her to wear? She probably got it as a gift! This is pathetic mhen!
Owk d change is hia... so mk una no complain
Lib freak
Linda how much is your most expensive watch? What if it was a gift? What if it was her hard earned sweat? Should Buhari have sold it to buy the nomination form? She can wear Gold if she wishes to. That doesn't maker either her or her hubby corrupt
Kindly shut up Linda and stop been biased. It is evident that you won't get any money from this present government so stop antagonising them. The fact that the husband is conservative should not make the wife dress like a wretch if she can afford the good things of life. What if it was a gift and she doesn't even know the value? Mechonnu Linda
This most likely going to be a gift. Do you think most of the expensive cloth bag, shoe and watches that madam patience put on then was bought by her. People that want one favour or the other get these people gifts. So pls u people should go and rest
na waaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!ooooooo oya now the dance don start. it is only going to be equal if they also follow our new first lady as they follow patience.
But they said Buhari is not rich... #eyesrolling#
Ah!ah!ah! These are the guys who said they are going to live by example. Hausa na Hausa very wasteful species meanwhile dey dont have anything. U guys has just started seeing fashionista in the making. Vote mallam vote slavery.
Nigerians as been deceived.... Dis is jst d beginning #leg crossed
She has a business she's managing, so she can buy anything she wants to buy.

I don't understand?? Dem wan begin yarn rubbish be that o... like she use Naija money buy am right?? Mtcheeew. Free the woman already
Did she look jobless......moreover,the likes of daddy freeze use watches of 20m not one,not two and he is not a managing director in NNPC,Chevron or CBN. Aisha is not buhari....everyone to his or life
Buhari is a figure. He gets lots of gifts It may be a gift to his wife. Dat does not mean he is corrupt. You know women na. They'll always find a way to taint your ideals. Check history
Una never see anything. Lol. Them just package these ppl give una. That's change for u
Story for the Gods. Leave her alone. This is a big lie. Go and ask Mama Piss what she acquired with her Jonadaft hubby. Oshisko.
Mmmmm lips sealed
PDP @work....jealousy....make we c road pass ooooo....abeg!
Who do dis ppl think dey r deceiving, since he has been contesting for election he has 150cows till after elections years later. Na wa o. Dave
Okay! They have already started changing overnight. Wind go soon blow and we will see fowl yansh. APC theives. Well, God bless nigeria. Bella
They should leave her alone, its really too early for this campaigns of calumny.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Well its Tinubu dt bought it 4 her as victory gift. What cn I say, am not a Buhari fan, but gv d family a break plp, they hvnt evn stayed 1 wk in office nd plp re already on their neck. So she should wear mallam bought wristwatch 4 official photo abi, nonsense.
APC supporters....u guys avnt seen nuffin yet...Shebi u guys believed deir cock nd bull story? Dis is jst a tip of an ice berg* am unperturbed tho....
She has her own money o, aproko Linda!!! Na wa o, you wrote that she has spa and other businesses, she doesn't need her husband to buy it for her now. Shout out to all the independent women out here!!!
Haaaaa allegations and stories nt mi bizness u guy's voted dem in
here is a version that cost 129 dollars http://www.kowatches.co/cartier-baignoire-folle-manual-watch-wb520034-watch-5403.html
A beg let's forget those talk jare. A former military head of state and later minister of petroleum tell me he has only one million naira left in his account after paying for his nomination form. LIE LIE
I'm sure it was a gift!
YOU GUYS DO REALISE THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN MONEY FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS.
UTTER QUATSCH, HOW THE HELL DO THESE FOOLS THINK THEY PAID THEIR KIDS SCHOOL FEES ABROAD AND STAYED HEALTHY AND FRESH. COWRIE SHELLS? COULD HAVE BEEN A GIFT TOO. ID DO NOT USUALLY SUPPORT EXTRAVAGANCE OR FLAMBOYANCE BUT I THINK NIT PICKING THE BUHARIS SERVES NO POSTIVE PURPOSE EXCEPT OF COURSE THERE IS A AN ELABORATE AGENDA TO PULL THEM DOWN.
LET THE MAN PERFORM BEFORE WE START CUTTING HIM DOWN. IT'S BEEN ONLY 3 DAYS.
ụtụtụ ọma ndi Nigeria! it is yet to be dawn!

So? Them get money, them splurge on themselves. Not my business. Fine watch though.
So? Them get money, them splurge on themselves. Not my business. Fine watch though.
This woman is big and well to do, from what we understand she has her own business so WTF is dis blab about?.don't artists acquire watches costing even more? Is her watch paid for with public funds? Abi no be 2 days ago dem enter power? do we not know that women acquire jewelleries as assets?
Probably a gift. Too early to judge.
Hmmmmmmm, Nigeria money go finish 4 fashion, God help us all this politicians are jst bunch of lairs
I'd be so disappointed if this allegation turns out to be true.
I just love this woman mennn.
This shows that this woman is a self made millionaire. She does not depend on public funds to maintain her level.
Hmmmm.....lets hope n pray all hoes according to plan.
She is not the type who come to deceive us by telling us that they went to school without shoes only to empty our treasure when they got the power.
It could be a gift. If she wore a watch of 10m, how much then is her dress worth.
Lol, una no get work ... Wah if she made a lot of profit over the years from all her beauty businesses. Atleast it isn't government money. Make una leave dis people mk dem see road work.
Errrrmmm what if it's a gift....
Whatever the case Shaka they r far far better than jona and his wife so pls leave them alone
Owu CHANGE nauuuu...
She owned one of the biggest spas in Nigeria. She could afford it. All the same, only gullible Nigerians would have believed that GMB didnt have money. I just pray he delivers on his promises.
Hian
Daddy Freeze has started this wristwatch madness
Do you know the amount of gifts she has received since she won the election? There is nothing wrong with a nice wrist watch...234politics.com
Una neva chi chumin, tot buhari had only 1million naira in his account?
Nigerians,shey una don vote change**hope u guys r ready for d 4yrs of change #change indeed#ntchewwww
Freeze of coolfm what's the real cost
That means she knows fashion and everybody want is different. Perhaps, she got it before she have access to any public funds. Thats even too small to be a gift to such a beautiful first lady!!!
Freeze will tel, us if it's original
Wonders shall nv end
God is watching all of them.
I'm walking away
Its a gift nau...lol
Hummm... I wonder where the "supposed change" is going from..
So I thought too..Lets watch and see..Better n bigger Nigeria is all I pray!
That watch is worth all her husband's cows. Did people actually buy all that mumbo jumbo spewed during the campaign? Well, she's owns her own business . It's possible that she earned the money she spent on it.
Buhari and his wife are scams. This woman closed her beauty shop to enable her loot Nigeria dry. Buhari came back to steal for his unborn generation. Nigerians were not reasonable enough to ask why Buhari has been desperate to take over power. The man is back to steal by every means necessary.
Change ndeed
Shut up Linda bitch! Can she live!???!!! Already!??? Leave them alone! She had her own business n money n can buy wateva she wants!
Whoever wrote this forgot she had a business of her own, so of course, she could afford it.
Do u know she has a very big beauty consultant???
Nija Una don enter one chance.hehehe
Haters, go and die. What's wrong with her having it, if shes' worked for it. Abeg make we hear word biko
Just 2 days
Chai cahai chai their is God oooooooo, Linda all ths money they are sharing by putting watch on their hands, their is God ooooooooooooo
#Lynda Observe

It has started, una never see sumthing yet!!

But the woman is a businesswoman.
Change you can believe!!! Oh sorry, that's Obama's campaign slogan. Lol. Thats a beautiful watch though.
@ least we are sure it wasn't bought with tax payers money. Just saying...
Gagam!!! Preview. Part one is on the way. Hahahaha. Very funny
Maybe is the fake1

Hmmm am watching
I love her for that..!!
It shows that she's got her own money and knows how to spend it too..
So nobody should ever say she's squandering the Country's money..
Cos she is MADE before da throne.
Ok na Linda observe #Genesis
She owns a VERY lucrative business. She has money in her own right!
Don't bury her alive. It could be a gift and she might not even know how much it costs, in the first place.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubbish! She owns a beauty palour and schools. So, if she makes her own money, she shouldn't spend it as she deems fit?! Puhlease!
Whose business?? She can afford it so she gets it...whose headache??
This woman is here to waste our money. It's in her eye I can see through it. B4 u knw it she go dey wear 100 million naira rolex watch
Bia Linda u know she also has businesses she runs nd it could b a gift
Let us not be fast to judge, it could be a gift,and remember that she is a big business woman.
Na wa for Nigerians o, jst cos d man is 'not that wealthy' doesnt mean his wife isnt too. No be for here Linda post say she get spa Abi na wetin wey she closed down? So she's got her own money plus It could have been a gift given to her by anyone.
Hmmmmm...clears throat....hmmmmmmmmmmm...ok oooo. No comment. Zooms off
Its good to know she wore it before her husband started ruling.........This lady has things she is into...she has a school she runs among other businessess.....So I do not see how this is affecting Nigerians
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB......
Whoop!!!! That's some cash!!! Hmm na wa ooh
Hmmmm
It's not everything you see you say. The wrist watch could be a gift from people who are seeking favor from the Presidency.
How dem sabi?
What did you expect. Did you actually believe the story of Buhari not having much?. I don't believe anything a Nigerian politician says. Didn't you see the gold jewelry his daughters were wearing on the inauguration day. That is why people are demanding he publishes the declaration of his assets. We have to keep them on their toes unless we are in for another long exhausting ride.
She is a successful business woman from a very privileged Northern family. Reports have always had it that she is richer than her husband, President Buhari. If she can afford it with her own money, can we stop her? She has never occupied any government position and has never stolen money from Government so why the fuss? Thank goodness she is wearing it before Buhari even took over power, if she had worn this a month later I am sure they would have accused her of buying it with corrupt proceeds. Or are they expecting Buhari to stop her from spending her hard earned money the way she likes? I think the Nigerian people don't care how much Buhari's wife's wrist watch or shoe costs as long as she doesn't buy it with our money. She is a private business woman.
Na wa o...Nigerians & gossip..
Mite hv been a gift na....shoo...i tire for una o
Hehe hehe! Linda,pls steer clear of the Buhari's for now..........bcos,they will surely misunderstand your position!
waiting to read comments.
Thief..thats d same watch..bt during election they acted broke..Billionaires in disguise..Diamond watch..2mao u say they ar humble.
Breaking News is Obanikoro's propaganda machine....Linda, please do your research before you publish news from that site....
Nigerians una never see anything. This is just the beginning.
Buhari cannot bring change if we don't allow God in.
This will only bother me if they can prove that she bought the wrist watch with Nigeria's money. She runs a successful business and doesn't depend on Buhari. If she can afford it with her hard earned money thats her own kettle of fish.
Na una sabi whether una like am or not, change has finally come and there's nothing anyone can do about it. between she has her own business she runs before becoming the first lady so it may be her money and maybe she has bought the watch a long time before now.
Ghen ghen.......all politicians are the same. All lairs. Many more truths to be exposed.
You do realise a stylist is assigned to the fist family. A store like polo could easily have sponsored this.
Oh yea u can't hide your true identity for long.. they have told us the story we wanted to hear. Like Gej he didn't own a pair of shoes, Buhari no money to get Presidential form. Lol change is here indeed.
So what if she did? At least they can't say she paid for it with the nation's money. The watch clearly was bought before they assumed office. PDP propaganda. Let them not face the work of fixing their screwed up party....
Make siddon read comments
Here we go again..they will soon put monetary value on the air she breathes
