Phew! It was a close thing. With the world walking on a tight rope and relationships between several nations deteriorating daily, the last thing we needed was for France and Qatar to come to blows with Spain over a footballer (Let us take a moment to thank God it was not the US involved, Trump would have redirected several dozen aircraft carriers to the Spanish coast long ago, Covfefe 2.0)

The transfer could yet have some consequences, Barcelona’s statement confirming the receipt of the fee for Neymar was the equivalent of a primary school girl squealing “I’ll tell aunty for you”.

But let’s leave that and consider the fee for a minute. £198m, or €222m, or $264m, or a number in Naira that has too many zeros for me to ponder right now, you get the drift.

Wondering what exactly this eye-watering fee can do in Nigeria? Here’s a couple of totally over the top things;

1. Pay for 8,000 university degrees at Nigeria’s most expensive University

The most expensive course at Babcock University costs N3m, with Neymar’s fee you could offer a one-year scholarship to 32,000 students a year. Or put this way, you could pay for 8,000 undergraduate degrees.
Davido graduated from Babcock in 2015. The Neymar fee could have paid school fees for him and everyone in his class, from 100l to graduation. In fact everyone in his school.

2. Buy 165 BMWs for Stella Oduah

A couple of years ago a scandal broke out over the then Minister of Aviation purchasing two bullet-proof BMW cars for around $1.6m. She eventually lost her job over it. With the Neymar money, she could have bought one hundred and sixty-five of those babies
Riding in Style. The Neymar money can buy twenty of these tanks for Oduah. This one will stop any type of bullet, even witchcraft arrow sef


3. Keep Nigeria’s Air Force One in a London hangar For 198,000 nights

Another scandal that broke —this one a bit more recent—is the cost of parking the presidential jet in London to Nigerian taxpayers.
Nigerians were whipped into a frenzy by the alleged £4,000-a-day fee but Aso Rock quickly clarified issues apparently it’s costing just £1,000. The Neymar fee would pay parking for Air Force One for 54 years and still have small change.

4. Pay 5.3 million Civil Servants

Labour has been complaining about Nigeria’s appalling minimum wage for a while now. Nigerians in government employ are amongst to worst paid in Africa. They propose a raise from the measly N18,000 a month to N56,000.To put it in the Neymar context, if you use $264m to pay minimum wage, you could pay 5.3 million Civil Servants. You could afford to employ over 440,000 Nigerians for a year.

5 months? No Problem!

According to the Director General, Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Dr. Joe Abah there are 89, 511 civil servants are in the Federal Government’s employ. So you could pay their wages for five years. Shocking!

5. Buy a share of Nigeria’s sovereign wealth

In another unrelated scandal, it was revealed earlier this year that Shell paid $1.1 billion for one of Nigeria’s richest oil blocks, OPL 245.
Again in the Neymar context, you could have bought a twenty-five percent stake in one of the richest oil fields in Nigeria.
Bear in mind that Nigeria is the world’s eighth largest producer of oil, just think about it.
A few other things; 5 million bags of rice, 400,000 Samsung Galaxy S8 phones, 1,820 of the World’s most expensive weave-on (as sported by Beyonce for her ‘Mrs Carter’ world tour) for the girls, 71 of the most expensive car in the world (McLaren P1 LM) for both girls and guys, 52 plots of land on Banana Island, etc.


According to MediaTakeout, this weave Beyonce sported during her Mrs. Carter World Tour cost $145K.
You get the drift, its mad money and no one saw it coming.
