Aminalib drop it already. I thought you and missyb were on the same page before you diverted?

Tolutara's anger comes from the fact that women her age and even younger are busy wearing gucci bags whilst she is settling for 100naira alaba market made jungle of a bag. She has said it on here that she isnt here to criticise but obviously she is, I mean lets go back to her O.Post, she practically judged and criticized women that are "materialistic" and then twisted her words again by saying she is only giving her opinion and not judging , I mean does she understand the word "criticize" at all?

If a woman can afford 5000USD hand bag so be it. Life is too short, I do not believe in been stingy. Some women have suffered , worked hard to get to where they are today. So what on earth is wrong with them spending their money


Tolutara whether u gave your opinion or not the fact still remains "IT IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS,GO AND COOK FOR YOUR FAMILY AND STOP WORRYING OVER SOME FORTUNATE MILLIONAIRES" you no get work sef?

no i will not drop it, and that is exactly what i stated to her that i agreed with her on some points, however she is taking it to heart and to another level and im just waiting to start crying, so no i wont drop it

And you are not doing same? The fact still remains that she voiced her opinion, she did not direct it to you but the poster n her supporters. She did not start all these you did.

Yes I do not believe in taking things to seriously but remember the time you took things seriously with queeneve as well on the romance section?

All in all, I am not supporting any one of you but the fact still remains that she was only giving her opinion. You are turning it to something else, I went through the posts and saw that at first she ignored you when you made some snide remarks , but u kept pushing it

Give it a break, e'jo

aminalib:

lol yea sure i'll be slow, really? please do not be nice, be who u are, tell me how u can make me go to bed crying, lmao, lol why am i bothering with this little girl who just made a topic about about some celebrity thinking they are sexy,, ,i see now what u consider important in your life, lol, oh wow u are schooling me, thank you, i am waiting for more, your a loser seriously, go play in traffic or better yet kick rocks,

When you put up something interesting that has to do with the topic, wake me up. I can't stay up all night reading these comments that seem to be written by a year 4 old kid. . . . My tomorrow starts early.

As for the thread about a celebrity, you're invited to increase the number of the posts on it. [See her frothing at the mouth. Ran outta words? What the heck has that gotta do with this issue?] Whether I spend the entire day creating threads on NL or not, I get paid and I still live fashionably with N20 in my purse. Don't envy me, even though I understand why you do.  

you consider queeneve serious, i was bored and at work as i am now, i gave my opinion and she is giving her and if she wants to continue this nonsense we sure can, this is online, it means nothing to me,

aww she used thats nice, she is learning

you ladies are so petty.

^^^^^^

Bawomolo you could not have said it any better, PETTY is just the word I was looking for, God bless you,

While Tolutara is busy shaggging her husband some of us are fighting on this thread

Most do it so they can belong. Don't even get me started about the ones I've met in me young life

^^Good day mate who told you, you are young? ol'papa like u

Lol@ Topic, wasn't it on NLD one dude was complaining his wife has 145 pairs of shoes. All these poor men sef

145 pairs of shoes is insanity.

How much does she have in her bank account?

^^ Whats insanity in having 145 pairs of shoes? If it works for her fine.

Morning JK
The ones i know that live like that do so cos they simply wanna belong.
It's hasn't got anything to do with gender though cos us men go overboard sometimes as well.
No justification for buying a 30K car when ones salary is barely 25K or wanting to live in a 500K house when salary is barely 40K (subprime mortgage fiasco).

Nothing wrong with looking good but please do it ONLY if you can afford it.

@Topic I come at this issue from another angle.

For me I find it PROFITABLE to buy SOME high end goods. I buy and sell and buy and resell these goods.

I don't buy them because they are so called  luxury goods I buy them because I find  some to be better made and longer lasting.

I would rather buy 2 well made boots for the year than 6  that I cant  wear again after 2 months.

That's my humble opinion.

So what's the justification for having 20 exotic cars parked in the garage when the law of common sense tells us you can only drive just the one car at a time.
We Nigerians are where we are because of greed and the need to always have more which then drives us to committ despicable atrocities.
Something tells me most people that are used to having 'em sorta luxuries who then suddenly can't afford such naturally turns to life of crime or simply commit suicide.

Again, nothing wrong with having or wanting the best world has to offer. We have moral responsibilities to only do so if we can afford it.

Quick questions:
Can you afford them?
Do you buy them using your credit card?
The OP is simply talking about people that have these luxuries but yet wallop in CC debts.

145 pairs of shoes?

Where would she keep the shoes.

I make myself afford them, it works out more cost effective for me in the long run

NO I don't stick them on cc cards, I would end paying more for them in the long run.

Yes I understand what the OP said, that's why I said I come at this issue from another angle.

OK here is a true story
An ex of mine literally called me up months back cos she was at harrods and saw this gucci bag that she had to have at all cost. The problem was the bag cost about 1.5K and her bf only gave her 500 which she then plan to add an extra 500 making 1K. As we are kool peeps she asked me to complete the payment as she had to have dis bag.

My problem then wasn't necessarily about the money but more of the reason why she had to have a bag she couldn't afford. Offcourse i didn't give her, would have though if it was for a more reasonable cause.
What did she do in the end, she put the remaining on her CC and only carries this same bag once in every blue moon.

That's the kind of peeps the OP is talking about.

^^
Your explanation of that incident does show that some people do go  to the extreme to possess some things.

I see buying good quality things like an INVESTMENT.

Like I said before I would rather have a FEW good quality items than wardrobes full of things that I cannot use after a few months.

People have different reasons for buying the things they buy.

erm - shoes and clothing are for the most part consumer items - not investments

its not like they generate income

and they have a short shelf life in the west - what with fashions and fads

^^^

Yes your right but I do resell certain items.

Not boots that was just an example, accessories and bags make a good profit.

I go more for quality than the LATEST TRENDS so I find certain high end garments are almost always in fashion.

tolutara:

I say the below at the risk of being told the reason why I am voicing my opinions is because i can't afford it. Let put that aside for now.

I feel a lot of women should stop being so darn materialistic. Gosh!

Weave $450, Gucci bag $375 ,Prada shoes $485, Vera Wang shades $180 , Fendi wallet $120, House of Dereon Bangles $85, Movado Wristwatch $165, the list is endless, Amount of cash in the Fendi wallet $45, credit card debt over $5000. SMH.

I Can understand women wanting to look good, but at what expense?. Some women have no savings for a rainy day especially when they have kids depending on them but will spend all of the above reckless in one day. Scourging through endless magazines trying to stay fly ,when u have real women making real dough.

I actually feel the most sorry for the men. I can understand the conflict of wanting your woman to look really good but at what expense? I feel that the average woman as a consumer Mentality, always consuming but hardly producing,

My humble opinion BTW I am a woman.

Like eldee said "is it your money?" Why u dey take panadol for someone else's headache bikonu?

Also don't forget that just because you can't afford to comfortably spend excessively on luxury goods doesn't mean the next woman can't or just because she owns several expensive items means she has no savings.

Bottom line, focus on yourself and stop worrying about the next person. Today its what she spends, tomorrow it will be how she kpanshes her man, e no consain you

I dont understand if its reading problem that is doing some women here,

^^^^^
so in your opinion having just $45 in the wallet and credit card debt os $5000 equates to "affording to comfortably spend excessively on luxury goods"

If they can afford it fine (which in most cases they cant) but if u go broke acquiring all those things then something must be wrong with the woman/man

At the risk of being repetitive, Like i said to you earlier , this is the kind of narrow mindedness i see all over NL in your posts.
You are still concerned about what i have or don't have abi?,Since u don't know how to use your brains, and have any real contribution to the world, Do the world a favor, Open your mouth, Pull your lips over your head and Swallow,

poor guy, i wonder what his closet looks like.

if i was the bobo, those shoes would be dumped at the nearest goodwill or salvation army depot.

dagnabit! pls alot of women work verrrry hard and therefore deserve whatever they choose to spend their money on!

dagnabit! pls alot of women work verrrry hard and therefore deserve whatever they choose to spend their money on!

I think the topic is about those who spend money they dont have.

The first post referred to $5000 Credit card debt to maintain that lifestyle

@dayo,ok then.most women i know spend within their limits and earnings.
