the average salary of Chicago lecturer is about 100K and civil rights attorney is about 120K 158, congress salary is about 158K

And your point is? The man gets paid $400,000 for speaking since he left office

dannybrasky:

As a president of United states of America,you can never,it is impossible to steal money from the government the way African leaders do.

Africans suffer from low self esteem and inferiority complex so bad

Are you not aware they signed a $64m book deal. Their money is legit, if it wasn't they wouldn't have done this

Gratefulll:
Where did they get such amount of money from?

That useless couple. Their forever president in that dog's sick dream. Thank God for the best president in the world ever Sir Donald Trump.

God bless you. Only those with deep reasoning ability can understand

Not at all.

If his public speeches in the past four years are enough to raise that sum even after removing personal expenses, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. But whatever money he's spent for this purchase, he didn't have it before assuming the highest office.

There is no doubt that becoming the president of the United creates the opportunity to get rich AFTER leaving office this is usually from things like public speaking,book writing and consultancy
In this case we are talking about OBAMA and HIS WIFE who has recently had a VERY SUCCESSFUL book sale

According to CNN Bill Clinton and his wife made over $150 million just from public speeches

So this is not so strange.

I understand that Tony Blair's wife got a "job" with Dangote . So this is the sort of thing ex politicians do if they have the charisma and connections

While encouraging blacks to depend on welfare

After nearly ruining America's economy. God rightly sent Trump to undo Obama's wrongs

For all those trying to equate Obama's purchase to that of an African president, please be wise.

US Presidents make most of their money once they are out of their offices. Obama charges as much as $250,000 to make a speech. They become highly paid as political consultants and as board of top companies.

Besides, he is unlikley to be spending $12 million cash for this house. At most, he would pay $2m and pay the rest $10 million plus interest as a mortgage over 30 years.

There are ex-governors in Nigeria who have 30 houses worth more than $1 million each and they stole the money. Obama didn't.

Jaqenhghar:
While encouraging blacks to depend on welfare

Democrats don't care about the black community

tsinzu:
Foolish man, the worst president ever in the history of America

Highly incompetent

chewwie:

The black community dont know nah. They have been falling for the same tricks for over 400 years. Anyone that smiles with them is a friend. Theu can learn a lot from the Asian community

Where is Efcc, Obama is a Yahoo boy wey Sars sef

how did this woman managed to keep her belle flat at this age?? most Nigerian girls of 20-25 are already having pot belle

Very impressive. So I quite found it strange when a media trial was launched against Patience Jonathan for having 2 billion naira in her .

Look at Democrat run states like Chicago and cities like Detroit, Baltimore, no good schools, black kids can't even read, no positive father figure in the home to mentor young boys because Democrat initiated welfare programs incentives single motherhood then most boys go into crime. They should open their eyes and start voting Republican

Africans suffer from low self esteem and inferiority complex so bad

Oga shut up, have u ever seen any America politician leave the shores of America to seek medicals outside?
how many dilapidated high institutions have u seen in America or UK? not to talk of their children schooling abroad or even in ur mighty Africa.....

if u have nothing to say I'd say shut up again....

0monnak0da:
Foolish talk,
If the source of the wealth is known then there is no problem.
Obama and his wife's financial affairs and tax returns are in the public domain.
Not all that talk of Tinubu was rich or Orji Kalu was rich before being elected with no evidence
It is for the same reason Trump is getting stick for non disclosure

If YOU have esteem problems do not project that unto ALL Africans

As in ehn! Help me tell am abeg..

Maintaining this HUGE property will be something else.

ednut1:
may God punish him for trying to force gay wedding on us and for destroying libya . How much be obama salary as president to be able to afford this ehn

But why did you quote me to say that? Why not comment Ur comment in peace hediot?

U seriously need to read a few books! U need to learn the habit of learning a little about a vast array of subjects .

Nigerians Una be hypocrite sha, If it was Goodluck or OBJ that did this, Una go scream Corruption Country wey people hate themselves especially here on nairaland

In dat case, It is not inferiority complex sir. When an ex american president buy a mansion, we can trace the source of the money and wealth. Can u do the same thing in Africa?

0monnak0da:

You need to buy a brain

Typical of your lot

nuelsam:
Had it been it was GEJ that bought this mansion....oh Lord!!
We blacks are just to hypocritic

Didn't we see how much mama piece alone stole? Are not we seeing her five star hotel and other properties through EFCC relentless efforts? Was GEJ a Saint? A Saint who ordered the sharing of 2.1 billion dollars among PDP chieftains

Are the majority of ex presidents in Africa not thieves? Look at each African country and her both natural and human resources, did you see any progress or development may be with the exception of South Africa?
This is not about hate or inferiority complex, this is about what it is. Corruption has killed African nations courtesy of their presidents. Whatever Obama and his wife bought, be rest assured that it is legitimate. Can Obama hide proceed of corruption like our presidents could? Take OBJ presidential library for instance.
