They are not the only ones that hate it. Fulanis, Hausa, Zarma, etc. etc. don't like it when people flaunt your wealth. These cultures teach people humility, flaunting is a sign of boasting which shows a bad character. If you have something, don't show it off. A Fulani man never tells another Fulani man how much cattle he has, or how much money he may have. A Hausa man doesn't talk about the kind of house or cars he has, etc. etc. I am guessing Yorubas are the same. These cultures teach one the act of humility. Being humble is a good thing.

Above poster summed it up.

There is something called tact which we observe but at the same time we give you a medium to display your opulence when we throw owambe. But displaying avarice on a daily basis is frowned upon.
