UK jewellers refused to sell watch to Samuel Eto’o because of 'some Nigerians who came in the other day with fake credit cards'

Oh no! Nigerians, why? Why? Former African Footballer of the Year Samuel Eto'o claimed today March 12ththat he tried to buy an expensive watch in a west London Jewellers but was refused by the sales rep because some Nigerians had come into the store the other day with fake credit cards.

Eto’o, who is worth over $100million, said he'd gone into the store with his brother to buy a £10,000 watch, but said the shop assistant looked at them suspiciously and reluctantly allowed them to view the watches. Continue, it gets more interesting!

“I went to go buy a watch at a jewellers, not too far from my house. The watch I wanted to see was expensive. I asked the saleswoman - who was also black - ‘Could you show me that watch please?’ First, I saw her turn to her co-workers like, ‘Uh, what should I do?’ Eventually, she let me see the watch. I looked at it and said, ‘OK, I’ll buy it.’ I took out my credit card and when she went to go run it through the machine, she came back and said it was declined.”

Eto'o, who is the 7th-richest footballer currently playing, said he asked her:

“Was it declined or did you not want it to be accepted?”

He told CNN:

“My brother asked, ‘What’s going on?’ And she said, ‘Nothing, nothing.’ But he said, ‘No, because when I came in, I saw how all of you were looking at us ... My brother can afford this and the way you’re treating him shows that you think just because he’s black, he can’t afford this watch.'

“The woman then slipped up and said, ‘No, it’s just that we had some Nigerians in the store the other day who came in with fake credit cards. I don’t know if you can imagine the weight of what she said. If one of my own makes a mistake, they judge us all. I don’t think she’s a racist person, but she stereotyped all black people as ‘those people’.”

PDP Govs Have Accepted Buhari’s Victory- Oshiomhole

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state says the governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have accepted that General Muhammadu Buhari will win the 2015 presidential election.

In a statement issued by Peter Okhiria, Chief Press Secretary to the Edo governor, he noted that if the worry of the PDP Governors is simply that General Buhari will do only one term as President, it means they have already conceded victory to the APC and have agreed that the 2015 election is already won by the APC.

He said: “when you are playing a match and it is clear that you are winning and your opponent is going for your legs instead of the ball, while you hope and trust that the referee will enforce the rule, you must remain focused on the ball.

The PDP governors said many other things that do not make sense. I read one of their statements that General Buhari has signed an agreement that he is going to do only one term, and that the North would be short-charged, that is what they claim. That is fine. That means they accept that Buhari will win the election, but they are only worried about how long he will be there for and if that should be the burden of the PDP, it tells you that they have exhausted everything.

Basketball legend Michael Jordan now a billionaire, joins Forbes list

In the new Billionaires List Forbes magazine released today, 290 newcomers joined the list, including basketball great, Michael Jordan, 52. He's now the 513th-richest person in the US with a net worth of an even $1.0 billion. Forbes report below;

The most famous rookie on the billionaires list? Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time and indisputably the best-paid athlete of all time. Most of his cash comes from Nike payouts on his iconic brand. The Jordan brand grossed an estimated $2.25 billion in 2013, earning his Airness some $90m. But his most valuable asset is his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, worth more than $500m. When ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers for a stunning $2 billion, values of all NBA teams skyrocketed, creating three new billionaires. Jordan’s old boss Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago Bulls, joined the list with a fortune of $1.3 billion, and Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander boosted his net worth to $1.6 billion.
