I love calmness. I don’t want to argue with anyone these days. i have learned to avoid difficult people, nothing is more precious than to live in peace.
Nothing against you or the estate, but this is something that genuinely bothers me about Nigeria. We have normalized marketing basic human necessities as luxury.
A concrete road shouldn’t be a luxury. Electricity shouldn’t be a luxury. Clean water shouldn’t be a luxury. Proper drainage and access to healthcare shouldn’t be luxury.
These should be the bare minimum standard of a decent community, not the reason someone has to convince you to buy a house there.
This so much shows how people have no sense of propriety and opinion becomes fluid when money and a stupendous amount of it are involved. Material success creates this halo effect where people infer wisdom or moral approval from financial outcomes.
The values you hold and second-order effect of your actions mean nothing to Nigerians provided you can demonstrate a lavish lifestyle. And what’s crazy is that we call it grace.
Our idea of grace is whoever ends up having money or fame or both and everything questionable be overlooked. Nigerians associating Grace with money is very problematic for me because I know the church is complicit.
