Have you been amongst nouveau riche? My dear, you will rather take dangerous gases. They are loud, obnoxious and by all means wanting to be seen and heard. They are more desperate to stay rich and most likely will do anything. They pretend like their families have been wealthy for 200 years, and will deny their poor relatives whom they started out with. Will most likely attach their history to a long dead moderately wealthy relative or a wealthy relative who doesnt know they exist. Some even change their names. They will even deny their grand parents or parents if they are not blending well. They look down on the poor and abuse them more. [b]The really rich guys have been rich for long, and money is nothing. Their kids can be comfortable and more compassionate. Nouveau rich however? Never. You are more likely to see their female kids even indulge in high level aristo. [/b]Of course this is all for fun. But if you had money, old money and your son said he fell in "love". You will want to be sure. Most of these rich kids cannot survive without their parents money. You would want to know who is spending your money and what she is all about. If the guy had his own stuff and did not depend on his family ever, i dont think it would even be an issue.

i think you can still find this pattern amongst the so called old money peeps in Naija. Who is even old money in Naija sef?. No family immediately comes to mind. Maybe Ojukwu sha.

A lot of the royal families are old money. Even old money shies away from nouveau riche because their money na new money and e just start. Average people are even better. Noveau riche might be living on loan.

baby_123:

Nouveau riche will never marry average. Lai lai. Their kids know better.

You have a point about their paranoia, general lack of decorum and common sense (like I said, sick in the head!). However, I don't think you can speak for every single child from such families as to whom they decide to marry.

jidegirl12:

Hear Hear * cling glasses*

Cheers Clink!

Cheers Clink!

Now lets get on that Yatch for fullest enjoinmeant

Kids oya disappear! Poof!!

I have been among many. They are the real social climbers. Their names have to last and endure, one way or the other. They would not even date seriously an average person not to talk of engage. My experience sha. Even the OP said the family is well known in Lagos and prominent. Not nouveau.

Back to work laughing hysterically jeez smdh

ileobatojo:

Lmao at that actually surprising you.

Lmao at your yacht! You sef want to gum yourself to these rich people by all means possible eh?! Anyway, man must feel among now..

All hail the rich, the faux rich and the wannabe rich!

But we are only hearing this lady's side of the story. Is it possible that she is taking things a bit too personally, and she is insecure? I dont think the man's family is nouveau. They have accepted her have they not? The guy even gave ring. My dear, i dont think a noveau riche's child will get to that point. I have friends who are noveau, and my God i cringe when they relate with anyone below them. If not for long time friendship, me sef.

not all of them.....
it depends...... daughters are more likely to be obedient and follow the footsteps of their parents. i have a friend - son of an ex-governor in nigeria from a muslim background. he married a commoner - an igbo christian chic against his dad's wishes. to put icing on the cake, he even converted from islam to full-blown christianity!

men have to grow a spinal chord!

Nouveau riche will never marry average. Lai lai. Their kids know better.

they do more often than not.....

Gat ur point bro,I can still remember how d odili affair hapned.no summonin or gross questioning for d poor lecturer mummy! Its all abt fear and pride!
One of d richest men in d east gave out his first daughter to a pauper who went to his house in search of employment! No summoning or questioning 2!
Kate middleton's parents weren't summoned but invited to hv dinner with d queen.
Its simply lookin down on one cause h/she isn't on d same level with u.
I was summoned and that gave me good opportunity to capitalise on my no.what a family! I hope they use wcd like everybody else!

Chef boyardee, I know am! One of the top italian chefs in these parts!

Is Davido new or old money? He has the razz look sha, how come?

i doubt we are speaking about the same person. this dude is here in the UK and he can't be bovvered about status or the class war in nigeria. he just wants to live his life and raise a family!

if the sons of such parents stand their grounds, there's nothing their parents can do about it. no parent would try such nonsense with me. rebellion is my middle name. an elder should better have a good explanation why certain things are a taboo otherwise.......i am going against the norm!

sisi has nailed it...
background checks are very necessary, it's the method some certain money miss road go about it that can be nauseating.....

Does she have a kid or not? I know who you are talking about. But dont play it like it was all smooth sailing. If he has his own money, then of course. But if he is depending on daddy. It is impossible.

she has a kid but the wedding was several years ago....
he has his own money. the parents sponsored him through some of the best british schools around. he's self-made now. he doesn't need his inheritance, he told me he would donate it to his church.

Girl got pregnant. And the guy is independent. . If you read my previous posts, you will know i am talking about those that rely on their parents money.

Sis, not all the royal families o abeg.You know say I be omo oko, those people from the Royal Families (wont name names )in the Lekki-Epe Axis are sure as lousy as hell.Gosh Worse than noveau riche sef.Come to think of it sef they are noveau riche cos most of those obas are glorified omo oniles .
Very razz buncha people.
And they fit into the picture OP painted perfectly.

Sis, that is why i didnt say all. Most old money are royals because of the land in their possesion = taxes. This money goes from generation to generation. Plus they have the power to mould governments. I am not talking about baale's who became oba's. I am talking about the real kings. . And of course industrialists, and business men who for generations have sustained wealth. Dangote is even from Old money, and he capitalized on that wealth. The OP should search within herself and ask herself if she does not deserve such response from his family. Why will you marry a man whose bread is buttered by the crumbs from his parents table. Are you not a thief Will his parents be able to interfere if he is making his own money I am baffled as to how people still fall for these jokers these days. What if the parent dies tomorrow. You are left with a useless, spoiled rotten and irresponsible man as husband. .

Abi o long and short of it is that said person must be able to call the family's bluff (like Coogar's example)if not you are OYO.I wonder how someone who has recieved the best education that money can buy will still not be able to stand on your own? I mean like a world class education is the best legacy ever.

What is a world class education with bad results or to a drop out? Daddy's and mummy's money is there. Education is just a formality. This is obviously a dependent child. If you are chopping my money, I call the shots. You become a baby to me, and I deserve to know everything even to the color of your pampers. If you don't like it, bounce o. As for those noveau riche royals, may God help us all. When they have finished selling their land. Their mind will come down. They kuku want to use their fees to kill as at the beach. They are well known to lagosians. Dami don't put me in trouble biko!
