I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all.
The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all.
At. All.
The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you.
So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable.
Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen.
That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing.
If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7.
Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist.
Them no really send any part of your papa at all.
@LockedIn4evr@YusufAsunmogejo This is not an insult to the creator. The creator was well aware of the capabilities of humans hence the reason why he placed us in charge of the earth.
We studied blood and knew how dangerous the SS genotype is, I’m sure the creator would give us kudos for that.
@_raesparkles Lucky you.
Next time, tell her to wash the plates and clean the house before you’re back from work. Its the least she can do since she’s not paying rent.
@Oluwapelumi_SMM I pray God perfects everything that concerns her.
I’m also happy that all your efforts didn’t go into waste. I pray God restores everything you’ve spent over this ordeal too.
@edomalo @ForeignTosin This shouldn’t be surprising.
People on here tweet “best mom in the world” and all along she’s the evil admin staff in a Nigerian state university.
@Matthew_kings0@OlanipekunTobiD 50 cent actually bought all the front 4 row seats in Ja rule’s concert to spite him.
You really don’t know these people.
@Prezain_LJ Basic human psychology.
Its because sex is somewhat restricted, if you have a red button in a room with a large sign that says DO NOT PRESS THE RED BUTTON, people will find creative ways of pressing it.
@savndaniel I was in JSS3 when I travelled without family for the first time. Zero worries, it was for my grandma’s burial and I was held back because of Junior WAEC.
Nowadays, parents of university graduates are in constant panic because they’re traveling for service.
@ChitoEsq@kenkenlewu Trivializing 1.5 million naira is an evidence that you’re a dolt.
1.5 million naira across 10 shops in two days is 15 million. How do you think money laundering works?
