To add salt to injury, the houses would be sold off to them at the end of their tenure for a new one to be built for the next group. Case of democratic oppression or democratic waste. Corruption in Nigeria seems to defy all solutions.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - FW: 2 Billion Naira home for Nigeria's V-P? What do you think?
Brothers, Sisters and Esteemed Intellectuals of USA/Africa Dialogue:
My 17-year old son, who is doing a high school project on Nigeria's oil revenues, saw the information below about the 2 Billion Naira home being built for Vice-President Sambo of Nigeria. He was so surprised that he showed it to me. Brothers, Sisters and Esteemed Intellectuals, what does this mean to the Nigerian economy? is it true that Nigeria's Naira currency is so depreciated that 2 Billion Naira today is nothing? Please, help me to understand this situation in the context of Nigeria's prevailing economy.
