ROLEX WATCHES HANDED OUT AS SOUVENIRS AT ALIKO DANGOTE’S DAUGHTER’S WEDDING? (PHOTO)
‘Fatima weds Jamil’ is gradually turning out to be the stuff fairytale nuptials are made of.
Everything about the different ceremonies reminds one that the two families are most definitely financial powerhouses, with awesome means, resources and wherewithal.
A legal practitioner, Sebastine Hon (SAN), has berated the low wages being paid to Nigerian justices, saying the situation presents a dangerous trend in the fight against corruption in Nigeria. Drawing comparism between Nigerian justices and justices of United States of America, Hon said justices of Supreme Court in Nigeria earn lower than magistrates in the United States of America.
According to him, the recent interview granted by respected Justice Emeritus of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Olufunmilola Adekeye, on the squalid conditions of service of judicial officers in Nigeria, both during and after service, was most embarrassing, to say the least. Justice Adekeye was quoted as saying that a justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria earns less than N1 million monthly, while justices of the Supreme Court retire into squalor, so much so that she was personally retiring to a very un befitting accommodation, as does her other colleagues.
Hon therefore recommended that the least ranked judicial officer in Nigeria should take home not less than N1 million as basic salary, while Supreme Court Justices should take home not less than N5 million basic monthly salary, with justices of the Court of Appeal and judges of the High Court and other courts in that grade taking home not less than N4 million basic monthly salaries, respectively.
His words: “my investigations reveal that even a magistrate in the U.S.A earns more than a justice of the Nigerian Supreme Court and that a justice of the U.S Supreme Court earns four times more than a justice of the Nigerian Supreme Court… The chief justice of the U.S.A earns $223,500 basic annual salary. If converted to naira, that will stand at N33.5 million… almost four times more than what the chief justice of Nigeria takes as his basic annual salary, going by the provisions of the salaries and allowances of certain Political, Public and Judicial Office Holders Act, 2008.
Also, whereas an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the U.S.A earns an annual basic salary of $213,900, which translates to N32.08 million, his Nigerian counterpart earns an annual basic salary of N10.8 million…. From 1987, the salary of a magistrate in the U.S.A has been pegged at 92 per cent of the basic salary of a district court judge. And a district court judge’s basic annual salary is $174,000, which translates to N26,100,000. This is N16 million more than what a justice of the Supreme Court takes home annually in Nigeria! Also, 92 per cent of $174,000 is $160,000. If we convert this to naira, we will have N24 million… This is the annual salary of a magistrate in the U.S.A, which is more than the annual basic salary of a Supreme Court justice by N14 million!
He then added: “If we can hire a foreign coach and pay him up to N10 million monthly, I wonder why we should decidedly agree to pay peanuts to our judicial officers, thereby encouraging corruption.”

While Fatima’s dad is the richest African alive and one of the world’s richest men, Jamil’s dad was the former Inspector General of Police of Nigeria, the very pinnacle of a policeman’s career.
According to association of online guests, some guests at the wedding reportedly received Rolex wristwatches as sourvenirs. Choi!

There is a popular saying that goes thus: he who gathers insect infested firewood should be prepared to receive lizards in his home. When Nigeria was still a reckoning force in world football, Cote d’ Ivoire were still cutting their teeth in the round leather game but like everything that is subject to change, the Super Eagles fell from their Olympian heights and are now a b*tt of jokes from the likes of Emmanuel Eboue.
The Galatasaray of Turkey and Elephant of Cote d’ Ivoire defender, through his twitter handle @TheRealEboue, congratulated Nigeria shortly after progressing to reach the knock-out stages but was quick to caution Nigeria not to celebrate too much as the Elephants are coming for them.
The Super Eagles will trade tackles with the Elephants who also parade a host of stars in what is billed to be a keenly contested quarter final match on Sunday.
His first tweet read: “Congrat to Nigeria. Don’t celebrate too much cuz we are coming for you. We are going to eat you like fufu”.
Minutes later, the Ivorian defender tweeted again: “Sorry guys, point of correction. We are going to eat Nigeria like [HASHTAG]#SuperFriedChickens[/HASHTAG].”
From then on, a series of rants on Twitter targetting not only the Super Eagles but Nigeria as a country – a situation that has seen some twitter users arguing that Eboue was being impersonated.
Some of the tweets read:
“@TheRealEboueI see ppl saying I hv pride by saying we wud eat Nigeria like fried chickens, it’s not pride guys, it’s hardwork & passion 4 my country”
“@TheRealEboue: In Nigeria team, some of your best strikers like martins, yakubu & odewinge are not in the team. Why? No peace, passion, & humility”
“@TheRealEboue: Ivory has some of the top players in d world, and when our country calls. We go. We go back home and play. Nobody is a big boy. So shut it”
“@TheRealEboue: A country where mikel obi is your best player & captain . Out of 150million people. You sure have a problem super chickens”
“@TheRealEboue: With all due respect 2 mikel, he is a good player but not Okocha, Samson,yekini,Oliseh, adepoju. Your football association is a joke”
“@TheRealEboue: When keshi was in Togo, he dropped adebayor. He is in Nigeria and drops the best player. He is a manger he should be able to work on their ego”
@TheRealEboue: I have said enough on this matter. I was so angry. Speak to me when your national television can broadcast the game. Have a good day
@TheRealEboue:Keep fooling yourself and calling yourselfs the giant of africa. You are nothing but the soil of Africa we all work on now.
@TheRealEboue: You guys are jokers. Your institutions are comedy clubs. You have so many resources & man power yet you are always falling short.
@TheRealEboue:Oh sorry Nigeria, I even heard your country owns the first African television and you cannot even televise the game to the masses
@TheRealEboue: Drogba, Yaya,kolo, Zakora, gervinho,KaLou, and myself and all other players. We are all the same. One unity and family. Country comes 1st
@TheRealEboue: I have said enough on this matter. I was so angry. Speak to me when your national television can broadcast the game. Have a good day
@TheRealEboue: If we don’t beat you in the game, it means you are lucky. But trust me, we are going to deal with you so much , you would be eating grass
@TheRealEboue: Why don’t you speak to your NFA that cant grow a good soccer academy & produce players to last for a decade instead of new faces every week
@TheRealEboue: Blame me, i don’t care. I would say my mind. You can even blame me Ghana can show the game to the masses and NTA cannot . Cover your face
TheRealEboue: My last word for Nigerians . Do not cry for me , cry for yourselves. In the true spirit of sport , I love you all . Don’t get too emotional.”
