The Nigerian first lady, Aisha Buhari has shown that when it comes to her dressing she spares no expense. The first sign of this was about a year ago when, she wore a very expensive watch to the presidential inauguration ceremony.
Investigations by Breaking Times said that the wife of the Nigerian President appeared on the official portrait with a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat white gold and diamond ladies watch that cost £34,500.
According to the CBN foreign exchange rate as at that time the wristwatch costs N10, 453, 000 (Ten Million, Four Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand Naira).
Below are some of the times, she showed that she could clearly afford the best of the best, recession or not:
1. Presidential Inauguration, May 29, 2015

Cartier Watch
As stated above, this was the first time Nigerians understood, that she loved the wealthy life, as she flaunted a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat white gold and diamond ladies.
Nigerians cried out with many claiming the watch cost more than N10 million. The outrage that ensued was mainly because their were earlier indications that the Buharis were a modest family. Especially after the President said he was a pastoral farmer with 150 cows, and that he had barely raised the money to pay for his presidential nomination form.
So a £34,500 Cartier watch was the last thing Nigerians were expecting, even at the exchange rate of N303 to £1 in 2015.
2. Visiting the US, Thursday August 4, 2016
Aisha Buhari’s Hermes bag made front page news
When the first lady visited the US, the Nigerian social media was agog with news, first about her way of dressing which many Muslims decried as disgraceful.
Then, when Mrs. Buhari was spotted carrying a Hermes Birkin 35cm Porosus Crocodile Gold Hardware Bag worth $105, 000 (N40, 950,000) at the then, $1 to N390 current conversion rate, the outcry was much louder.
According to Signal, the exact pink version of Aisha Buhari’s Hermes handbag was auctioned in 2015 for $222,912 (N86, 935, 680) at a Christie’s auction in Hong Kong.

Today, September 19, 2016 the first lady is billed to attend the United Nations General Assembly with the President and his delegation.
And once again she has a very expensive timepiece on her wrist. She was spotted rocking a 36mm Happy Sport watch. The Chopard diamond wristwatch reportedly costs about £15,000 (N8, 250,000).
And once again Nigerians have cried out. The first lady however seems unperturbed, time and again she has shown that she is not one to shrink back at the sight of luxuries.
