Kim Kardashian’s N80m Could Have Been
Spend For…
$500,000 KIM
It’s a Nigerian thing. As soon as you hear a
figure in foreign currency, you quickly go for your calculator-imaginary or
otherwise-and convert it into dwindling-in-value-naira.
It doesn’t matter whether the money is yours
or someone else’s but as soon as a $ 100 is mentioned, visions of about N16,
000 float around your head.
That’s easy. But when it comes to the amount
of money R&B musician Darey Art Alade allegedly paid
famous-for-being-famous, reality star Kim Kardashian to come to Nigeria and
help host his show two weeks ago, you’ll need a calculator, pen and paper…as
well as a healthy heart! Rumours are that Kim K was paid about $500,000,
roughly N80 mn.
Nothing to worry about, it’s just enough to
buy about 40 plots of land, 10,000 bags of rice or sink about 160 boreholes.
Not so much, except that it can sponsor about 157 students through the
university for four years, build a 10 blocks of four classrooms each, and buy
228 Keke Maruwa vehicles. Well, it’s not like it’s our money, so no need to
mention that with an additional $25,000, Kim’s pay could sponsor two
individuals in need of kidney transplants.
It’s not like Nigeria is facing a water crisis
or has thousands of homeless people. Isn’t our education sector in top shape
and our transport system spotless? Surely unemployment is not an issue for us
and everyone is healthy here. All we needed was a 45 minute dose of Kim
Kardashian!
