brokoto: don't mind them. Most of them are hypocrites. If given such sum 99% of the people here would buy a house, car and secure the future of THEIR FAMILY before sparing any THOUGHT for others.

On a separate note... What if they give out $1million to charity and still buy a $80000 doll for their child won't you guys still complain? Mcheeeew.

They made their money legally and you shouldn't tell them how to spend it.

[size=13pt]What you fail to see is that 99% would buy a home or car, which can easily be argued as basic necessities. 99% of Nigerians will not buy an $80,000 Barbie doll. What is necessary about an $80,000 doll?[/size]

tatiana009: Actually a 2nd or 3rd car does not qualify as a basic necessity neither does a box full of clothes ,a basic necessity is something you need to have a quality of life.Plenty people do not own a car and get around from point a to b. They are luxury items same as the doll. Even when you are talking about getting a home, you can as well get the cheapest one as far as you have a roof over your head , T.Vs and such are all luxuries and one can as well forgo all that and give the money to people who do not even have food. Let everyone just remember to remove the logs in their own eyes 1st.

CFCfan: If the couple donates millions to charity, there may be justification for them to splurge on their child.
But still an $80,000 doll is still mind-boggling. Not only that, spending $200,000 on a birthday party is absolute bonkers!

[size=13pt]Depending on one's location, a car is a necessity. I live in the middle of nowhere and suffer when there isn't a car around for my use. The same goes for housing. Not everyone lives in the city. Sometimes it's a house that one has to buy.[/size]

tatiana009:

is it everyone that lives where you live that has a car? are they dead because of that? even if you buy one just buy the cheapest type and give the rest to charity

brokoto: $80k is about N12mil. My point is 99% of the people here won't give a penny out of such sum to charity. Considering the amount of wealth they have, 80k is like change to them. Moreover they also give massively to charity. Its their money. Its necessary for them. Maybe not needful but at their level do they actually NEED anything?
Don't tell people how to spend their money. In fact sef, charity is not compulsory. Or is it?

~PreciousBro~:
And you still don't get the point to the whole thing as regards spending.

What is necessary to you can be unnecessary to another,why do you get to call the standard ?? Ok I get your point,its in line with such extravagant amount..... But you forget you compare your self to these people as regards spending,for God sake they are Rich and you ain't . Are you tryna tell me you don't buy unnecessary but fancy things for your self that highlights the impersonality of you for the needy and less privileged ?? Take for instance,you buy a spec(shades) worth like 500dolls when you can always get a cheaper one for even $20.....just to stand out amongst peeps that ain't or are your peers ??

My dear,its just luxurious imperative in this modern day media and life....our pockets are different in sizes and depth" after all,we all know all fingers are not equal......

These rich folks work like grim death to keep up the luxury flow(they have bastard money)....to say the least,plus they also donate hugely to charity bodies"" cut them some slack.....

Even if we go all biblical,God already said my peeps die for lack of knowledge..you lot saying otherwise to jigga n bey are in that category... cuz it takes sage to understand this tad thing called "difference" between the rich and poor and let's say the average too.....Rich spend big like Rich,you don't expect them to buy petty like poor nau ..lol" Rich have always been there in the early times of before christ sef"" the only ungodly thing would be not giving back to the society(poor and needy) which we all know these superstars do even bigger than they spend on themselves so what the hell !?

Jiigga came to the timid and remote areas in the east and south africa some years back,saw they lacked in some basic necessity" as water and projected the bore-hole supply,check MTV its there....now you don't think that requires a whole lot of dough ?? Haba!!

Enough said!!!! ~~

[size=13pt]Well, I did say that what's necessary could be argued and vary from person to person... [/size]

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]I didn't say anything about charity though. That was all you lol. I'm not telling anyone how to spend their money. I don't know where all that's coming from. I just don't see the need to buy a 1-year-old a diamond Barbie and never will. That's my opinion.[/size]

anitank:
Did u really? The only time I saw her "pregnant" was when her supossed baby bump collapsed on a tv show when she tried sitting down. I don't think she actually carried Ivy in her own belle
