Nigerians have dug up pictures of the ultra luxury Ricard Mille wristwatch worn by Seyi Tinubu, the son of the president.
This comes after he took to his social media platforms to appeal to everyone to be patient with his dad in the face of the excruciating economic hardship in the land.
Seyi shared a photo of himself appearing to be in deep 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.
He posted: #Repost @seyitinubu

However, shortly after his appeal, many began criticising him over a photo of him rocking an expensive Richard Mille wristwatch.
An online search shows that the designer accessory is worth $210,000 to $2,578,000, which is equivalent to N346,500,000, and many Nigerians frowned at how hypocritical it was for the son of the president to calm their feelings while walking around with such an expensive watch.
The reactions:
OjiUgo_nwa: “By the time Tinubu and his family are done with Nigeria, lessons must be learnt.”
@delurxe: “What is his handiwork?”
@AlexOla2407: “No mind this individual and he is saying that people should calm down and trust his father…I no blame am”
@ltope43: “Before his father c became president the dude get money.
@achieverwealth: “The guy is wearing infrastructural projects on his hand. You go explain Taya no evidence.”
@Okey_Bernie: “Them see person wey resemble “the weapon fashioned against us” decide say na who dem want support. Day never break, na from clapping of hand dem dey get dancing.”
@akalonu_tonn: “Why should he wear such an expensive watch. Is he a footballer or a musician”
@Famouz_Fm: “This amount alone can buy a small village in Benue State”
