I’d argue that our poverty is why classism exists. Everyone knows we’re poor, so people spend too much time trying to prove they aren’t as poor as the next person.
There's this thing that happens at Nigerian parties that amuses me.
They treat high table guests like mini-gods and regulars as if they came to beg.
As someone who used to work in events, I’ve seen guests target vendors as if it’s their fault, but they don’t know what goes down in vendors’ meetings.
The client will tell you:
Small chops is only for the high table,
Suya is only for the high table,
Milkshake is only for the high table, Barbecue is only for the high table.
Then why don’t you just invite only high table guests to the party?

Sholape, I promise you, if you can put out 15k every week, in a few months you can save up to a reasonable amount to buy an iPhone, even if it’s UK used.
It’s okay to want one. Don’t use contentment and “I know what a lot of girls have done……” to console yourself.
Girls are hustling, my dear.
