I said someone that uses 100k form his meagre 150k salary to buy a fone .. Truth be told most Nigerians clearly live above their means..

This story is funny for all kinds of reasons. Why is it anyone's wahala how a grown man chooses to spend his own money? To think that his colleagues took the matter personal and even forced him to sell the car. And it had to be reported in the news that a man used his own money to buy a jeep? Lol!!! We all have different philosophies. Some people would rather live for the moment and enjoy themselves for a limited time, than to scrape and scrounge and live a frugal life devoid of fulfilment. Shebi na death go still end everything? Jeep don dey hungry the man for a long time. He was probably silently oppressed by the countless 'nonentities' that drive past him in flashy jeeps everyday. As soon as e get im first (and probably last) major payday, him run buy jeep to end him psychological suffering, even if it means dying in poverty soon afterwards. Na im money, na im life. 10 Likes |

I really don't think the intervention of his coleague was neccessary because the man found happiness in driving a jeep! That might have been his dream and people will not allow him live his dream by minding his bussiness! Or are they saying the grown/mature man doesn't know what he wants?...well, his colleagues just wasted their time because the man is still going to find pleasure by other means...nothing like investing the money! Investment ko! Sacrament ni! 1 Like |

dridowu: We always seek "well paid jobs" without learning Financial Intelligence, that 5 million cash would still disappear within months, everyone has their capacity in money they can handle, Give a Poor person a Billion Naira they would find a way to squander it (look at the history of lottery winners). As far as you've not made money and built it, or given time to study how to do this, E go Hard o!!! Like the New Testament said, a Pig with a Gold ring in its snout is no less a Pig |

gbanikiti: I see nothing wrong in buying a phone worth 100k from a monthly pay of 150k How can you not see anything wrong in that? It is totally wrong. You cannot use over 60% of your salary to buy a phone. That is madness and stupidity put together. It is poverty mentality. Who is such a person trying to impress? You should never live above your means 7 Likes |
