World's Poorest President's Pictures And His Beautiful Car by lizzyanjorin(f): 12:38pm On Jul 24, 2013 |
Jose "Pepe" Mujica, president of Uruguay, is known for his frugal ways. Last year, he earned the nickname of the "world's poorest president" when he revealed that he donates 90 percent of his salary to charitable causes (Mujica earns $12,500 a month, and only keeps $1,250 for himself.) Declining to move into the presidential house, Mujica and wife Lucia Topolansky, currently live in a farm in capital city of Montevideo. When it comes to vacationing, Mujica and his wife are not big spenders either. Caught mid-lunch at a restaurant in the coastal city of Carmelo, Uruguay, this image shows Mujica and Topolansky enjoying the outing with no security and wearing casual clothing http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/News/uruguay-president-jose-pepe-mujicas-frugal-vacation-viral/story?id=18239957 check my signature and add me on facebook 3 Likes

Meanwhile in Nigeria,the president moves with a motorcade of several vehicles, flies in several presidential jets, eat foods that run in billions of naira, has a wife who runs her mouth like grinding machine and enjoys their extravagant lifestyle in the presidential villa and Otuoke mansion while the ordinary masses suffer in abject poverty. That is what I called being presidential in an Animal farm . God bless Jose Mujica for being the real president of the people !

Such a man has nothing to fear. He freely moves amidst his people. Obasanjo cannot till tomorrow move freely amidst his people in Abeokuta. His house on Hilltop Estate is highly guarded. Jonathan cannot be free amongst his Otuoke villagers. What shall it profit a leader to steal money and lose your peace and respect amongst your own people....... Bastardddsss In Power (BIP) 3 Likes |

power means 2 things to different people. in uruguay, it means to serve. in nigeria, it means to be served. this man donates 90% of his salary to charity causes to help make the lives of his people easier. jonathan goodluck spends N1 billion on food alone. dear lord, what type of clay did you make nigerian leaders from? |

Sorry to go off course but this analogy is a good example for marriage. As a husband(to be) think of the kind of hubby you want to be: The Uruguay type or the Nigerian type 1 Like |

There comes a point in a man's life where wealth, fame and power have little or no significance. Impressive. Too bad we have leaders that wouldn't mind being buried in a box filled with Naira notes. Misplaced priorities. Silly Bill-Gates wannabes. I'm impressed. 90% to charity? Like seriously? Can i even do that? Oh...i'm not a President yet. I'll get there 3 Likes |

There are no such men in Nigeria specifically among the ruling class. |

It is very easy to tell our leaders to learn from this Uruguayan president, but is there any Nairalander or government critic that can emulate this man if he or she becomes the president of Nigeria? 4 Likes |

coogar: Really? I am not comparing by country, I am comparing by personality... Is the president a good president to his wife or his country? What has Nigerian wives got to do with it? |

~Bluetooth: I think Governor Okorocha came close to that before he became a governor. I don't really know much about him though...but i think he is quite generous. |

bukatyne: to be a good husband, one needs a good wife. the president's wife must be very good to have allowed her husband move into her farmhouse. besides, the husband spent 14 years in a military prison, he was shot 6 times by the police, the woman remained with him in those difficult years - the average nigerian wife would have fled. 1 Like |

BekeeBuAgbara: It is very easy to tell our leaders to learn from this Uruguayan president, but is there any Nairalander or government critic that can emulate this man if he becomes the president of Nigeria? I think i should be able to do that...but first i need to know the man's primary and secondary sources of income, family background, past savings, investments, assets (tangible and intangible) and all that. |

coogar: You do not still get my analogy Trust a typical Nigerian; everything must lie on everyone else The article talked about the president's leadership style and not marriage, I just related the two concepts. You said coogar: power means 2 things to different people. in uruguay, it means to serve. in nigeria, it means to be served. this man donates 90% of his salary to charity causes to help make the lives of his people easier. jonathan goodluck spends N1 billion on food alone. And I commented that bukatyne: Sorry to go off course but this analogy is a good example for marriage. Going by your logic, What did the country do to deserve a good president? |
