Just to kick a round leather object for 90 minutes, just for doing this and nothing else, PSG’s new signing, Lionel Messi would earn an amount that is beyond even the reach of super-ritualists. He is on a weekly wage of 480K pounds. And this is after-tax.
So we decided to break it down in naira. On the streets, today 12th August 2021, one pound is 705 naira.
Every second, Messi would earn 50 naira which means by the time it takes him to stretch his arms, he has earned your breakfast plus two pieces of meat. If he then decides to jog from one post to the other and back, we would be talking about feeding an average family of seven.
In one minute, he earns 3,017 naira.
In one hour, he earns 181 thousand which is something many earn in one month and begin to look for a wife because they have a good job.
In a day, Messi is paid the equivalence of 4.3 million naira.

In one week, Messi would be earning what it would take to fully electrify a small town, nearly 339 million naira.
In a month, Messi would earn some states’ monthly allocation after debt deductions of 1.468 billion naira.
In one year, Messi would earn 17.62 billion naira. In Nigeria, for a bank to be cleared for service, it needs to have a minimum of 25 billion naira. So, based on his basic take-home per year, Messi would be in the same rank with Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia.
Of course, the money falls short but then no one owns 100% of a bank. His 17 billion would easly attract other investors. Not forgetting the fact that depositors’ funds could come in handy. And his match bonuses and allowances, if we must count them, should take him across the line.
I don’t know if money ritual can give anyone a basic 17 billion naira every year. If you go looking for this kind of money, you may have to sacrifice a whole village and you may still fall short.
Someone easily makes that per year. For chasing and kicking a round object.
