Na the same oil money we dey spend here fem.dey spend for Saudi abi na another one?

When you’re Karim Benzema, your daily earnings can buy you just about anything. But while most might imagine yachts, private jets, or diamond watches, the French football icon recently chose something a little more relatable—if you can call a 145,000 euros super sedan “relatable.” In a move that would make any car enthusiast jealous, Benzema quietly added a brand-new BMW M5 to his already jaw-dropping collection of exotic machinery. And here’s the part that’s hard to believe: after splurging on the high-performance sedan, he still had 110,000 euros left over from that same day’s earnings.

Since joining Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad in 2023, the former Real Madrid star has been earning an eye-watering $97 million a year, breaking down to roughly $265,000 per day. So while the M5 might be a dream purchase for most of us, for Benzema, it’s little more than a casual afternoon spend

Even if he was given FoC, the worth of the car is around half of his ≈$265k a day wage. The wages in Saudi league are obscene! Any footballer at the tail end their career should make the wise move to retire there. KDB wants to suffer himself with the EPL he wants to remain in following his man city exit. He should jejely arrange a move to Saudi and retire in millions!

My own daughter will play ball sha

In Timaya's voice

Saudi Arabia wan use oyel money wound footballers...!

The best part is, they pay so little in taxes compared to Europe.

By the time Ighalo leaves Al Wehda, he will be too rich for even his own good...! Talk about endless wealth.

No wonder him ex dey retrace her steps desperately.

He's a former World Footballer of the Year.

Muslim, Arab... of course he's a Star in Saudi.

Still remember his Olympique Lyon days. Hatem Ben Arfa and Taarabat were also skillful players from that generation that just were not as focused. Benzema worked hard for it.

Really?
Saudi makes about 350 Billion from oil annually, Nigeria. Makes about 50 Billion USD.

Saudi is about 35 million people, Nigeria is more than 200 million.
Nigerians are by nature greedy and corrupt.
Saudi by nature cares more about the general well being of their people, Nigerians cares.more about what they will get personally, and cares less about the general society.

These are the mian reasons for the disparity in standard of living.

Money Kudi Owo (MKO)

civil servant cant buy it with 5 to 10 years saving

Some are even tax free.

Can I still learn to play football professionally at 40?

agulion:
And somebody mining skull in the waste just to make money

And keep jumping from one country to another with D. Today India, tomorrow china 😂 I am referring to those with flatted heads 😂

Who cares?

It will take an average Nigerian civil servants 35years without food to buy one

There are millions of hardworking people that the total money they will make in their lifetime can never buy that car.

This life no balance.

APC agbadorians will say he should give the money to the poor as if Benzema na Tinubu?

goslowgoslow:

So true...!

When I heard of what footballers pay as taxes in England, I just shook my head.

Kante eyes clear in less than 6 months of playing in Saudi.

To imagine say na the same crude oil Naija get o.

This life no balance

The saudi have all this money to pay, they still do slavery, forced labour etc
