I agree with Onegai and Sambarry. Dressing simple is almost a crime in Nigeria; people would judge and address you based on what you wear (clothing, jewellery, footwear, perfume on you, hair down to make up) and type of car you drive. Meanwhile, old serious money makes no noise. And funny enough, it's actually the broke but highly vain souls who are opportuned to see a few coins in their bank account that are the major culprits. 12 Likes |

Onegai:I appreciate your humour but there are few untruths in your comments. Every private jet owner is required by law to register their jets so there is no way anyone can have a jet in Nigeria and ''not announce'' it. With a simple google search anyone can get the names of all the jet owners in Nigeria.This is the law. Not everyone buys jets for business, some people buy jets for pleasure. Any last name you think you have must show up something tangible on forbes.com or fortune magazine else it won't count. So cross-check very well. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Ranchhoddas: Wrong. I googled 2 right now, that I know. Nothing showed up. And they are the owners. Registration is different from telling people "I've got a jet", try and keep up. Pull up the website that the list of private jet owners you are using to check. You are still blindly arguing. Like I said, NL is a clear example of what's wrong with us. Anyhoo, I am not going to continue this. I've said you're right, now I'm off and will not reply anything. 1 Like |

Mindfulness and co, please come and take your partner off my mentions. Thanks. Respect everyone that comes to you. Even when you know they don't have. One of my brothers (a truly great guy) takes the time to thank service people. He made me realise that in Nigeria, we feel saying thank you to the driver or gateman reduces our level. Like we think why should I notice this person?". He said it was because once he met a silly girl, who talked down a lot to him (stuff like "oh you speak so well" blah blah) and he dressed constantly in t-shirts. So he told her he was the janitor at his company. She kept condescending to him until she found out what his position was. Very awkward. Sambarry, a plain tee shirt is the uniform of most white (American) guys and techie or engineers abroad. I sent a few friends a picture of a.group of female bankers here and they assumed these babes were all investment bankers (just our regular customer service babes o). Even when I went to a friend's wedding I felt overdressed (I did Naija style dressing) because everyone there was in light summer-y dresses. My sibling came to Nigeria and comfortably rode LAGBUS and was surprised that people were sneering at them. Meanwhile how many of us won't act like taking a yellow cab is an insult yet will land in London and look for the Tube map? 13 Likes |

Poise and the way you speak also speaks volumes about you You can dress simple and still be respected From experience I find that Old money tends to be quiet about things because they have lived in it for so long that they don't see the big deal about it any more. Personally I find unnecessary celebration and attention very embarrassing. and I cant stand loud mouthed, rude people regardless of how rich you are I always say thank you to everyone who serves me We tell our children to greet and say please and thank you, but some parents feel too big to do it.

Onegai:Yimu. All the private jet owners in this are famous to a certain degree. Acquisitions of private aircrafts are usually announced as they are used to make ''statements''. I find it very hard to believe that there are unknown owners of private jets in this country( private is the operative word). One should not confuse corporate with private...Feel free to not reply. 1 Like |

I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." I wouldn't actually be surprised if he succeeded doing it his way.
