Hardship: Seyi Tinubu’s N346.5m wristwatch causes stir after begging Nigerians to be patient

Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigeria’s president, has caused a stir on social media over his expensive Richard Mille wristwatch.

This was after Seyi, in a post via his social media page, begged Nigerians to be patient amidst the current hardship being faced in the country.

Seyi had shared a photo of himself appearing to be deep in thought and accompanied it with a caption where he echoed a quote from his father, President Bola Tinubu, who preached endurance and patience to Nigerians.

Shortly after Seyi’s message, some netizens started criticising him over a photo of him wearing an expensive Richard Mille wristwatch.

An online search shows that Richard Mille wristwatch(the designer accessory) is worth $210,000 to $2,578,000, which is equivalent to about N346.5 million.

However, scores of Nigerians frowned at how hypocritical it was for Seyi to calm their feelings while walking around with such an expensive watch.
