The two-leg wedding of President Goodluck
Jonathan’s daughter, Faith and Godswill
Edward, son of Cross River State monarch
ended yesterday in Abuja, leaving on its
trail a dust of controversy.
At the first leg in Otuoke, Bayelsa state,there
were unconfirmed rumours that the couple
was given 80 cars as wedding gift.
Then yesterday at the reception in Abuja,
guests went away with the gift below.
The iphone pieces are replicas of the 53 Aso
Rock was accused to have ordered last year to
mark Nigeria’s independence anniversary at a
cost of N662 million. Each one then was said to
have cost bewteen 3,000 pounds and 50,000
pounds.
Many NigerianEYE readers however faulted the show of affluence in the land str!cken with hunger, s!ckness and insecurity and accused the president of using public funds for such luxurious wedding take home gifts.
Below are some of the comments randomly
p!cked.

This is absolutely rubbish when millions of
Nigerians are out there dying and suffering.
Of what sense does this contribute to what
people are going through in the country.
Hmmmmmmm. God judge them all. Yours
truly Mr. Fix it.
Straight Spoken
This nonsense MUST STOP!!! The greatest
tragedy is that this naked display is made by a
man who Nigerians voted for because he grew
up ‘having no shoes’. The millions that now have no shoes are slowly losing their feet, while those who have are being given the more they do not need. There is a madness creeping into this man and his family, and we watch how the gods will make them pay.

Show of affluence in the land str!cken with
hunger, s!ckness and insecurity. They can
never be peace in a land so rife with
inequality.
Uwa Omo says ‘wow, this is a total waste of money. for all we know he spent the national funds for such extravagance, and the problem here is that the people he is distributing these phones to dont even need it. imagine how many people N750,000 to 12.5 million (which was spent on one so called phone) can feed’
