You may be asking yourself how one of the most important men in the world can have to pay for his own families food when almost every desire he could ever want is at the snap of his fingers. It works in a simple manner: Whatever food the first family or friends consumes is written down on a bill and presented to them at the end of the month.

But it’s not just food. Toothpaste, toilet paper, and nearly every commodity they personally use must be paid for by Mr. Obama! Pay for food? That could get pricy with all of the world famous guests and five star kitchen staff that are present at the White House, but luckily for the president the bill is only for times that are not official state functions.

However, almost every president is shocked to learn this upon their arrival at the White House. Nancy Reagan said, “Nobody ever told us the president and his wife are charged for every meal, as well as incidentals like dry cleaning, toothpaste, and other toiletries,” after being presented with her first bill, and Rosalynn Carter commonly complained about the expensive costs her and her husband were forced to pay.

If the information from the source above is true, then why should the Nigerian President not emulate the American President since we practice the same type of governmental system especially during this time we are currently experiencing economic distress?

. . . . When someone without a shoe in the past budgeted 1 Billion Naira for food for just two familes in our dear nation and millions of familes cant afford one square meal in a day ??!! God save Nigeria!!!
