I love Linda Ikeji's hustle and me self Na hustler but I read this on BN. A foreigner'<center></center> observation about Nigerians. It's so true. We have become so materialistic that other values are no longer regarded apart from money. If you don't have money then you are nothing. If you have money and even have the worst character, people will still praise you.

Same thing I thought! A house in Toronto that goes for 2.5million looks a lot better than this. Maybe it just needs a little touch up. To be sincere and frank I never knew houses in Nigeria could even cost that much. I really do
want to ask an honest question though, why does this Linda inspire people? Is it because she’s a great blogger or because she has made money from blogging or because she has a nice personality or admirable character? It’s just a question. I truly intend no offence. I’m Tanzanian, visited Nigeria a few times and schooled with a lot of Nigerians back in the GTA both high school and UofT. I love their vibe and they are the best people to be around BUT I notice they place so much emphasis on money
and materialism. Back in the days when we were in grade 11 and 12, and we wrote essays and articles on inspiration, success and role models, Almost, infact every Nigerians’ role
model was on Forbes list or some type of rich list. Their articles always had this tone of underscoring wealth and equating it to success.This character is still very much prevalent. Very different from how I was raised from preschool.Is money the only motivating factor for Nigerians? Is one only successful in your country when they have or make money no matter how legitimate or not? This was supposed to be a question but it has turned into an observation. I hope nobody gets offended, that is not my intent. I have heard of this lady a few times on some platform and the emphasis of any news concerning her is always how much she’s worth, everytime, either subtly
or conspicuously, that is always apparent theme. I’m sure she does other things like volunteering and charity or some other nice civic duty that does not relate to her wealth,
but that never makes for traffic in the Nigerian news sphere I guess. The get rich syndrome is what has driven so many Africans not just Nigerians to step on the faces of other Africans
just to be at the top and be praised or admired for having made it. A conclusion reached when new bank accounts are opened. A wish her more fulfilling years as a blogger. I hope she
uses her platform to get to people if she hasn’t and more people if she has. That is what I was brought up to admire as success and you really don’t need the minty coloured notes to do that. Same for we all. Wanting more is no the problem. On the contrary we all need money one way or another to survive. The problem comes in when that’s an individual’s strive in life. My comment is just what it is, my opinion.
It shouldn’t be taken personally as an affront of any sort.

Aptly said,
Addendum- Oh well, iMust add, that the sole reason why things are so made so costly is because of the strong propensity for money sharp mostly by the 'Igbos'. It's so Strong.
However, I am just saying cos if you go to most other part of the country as in.,
In Yoruba, things are relatively cheap
In the North, things are also cheap

In the south-south where iBelong-because of the influx of "few igbos" which makes us affected, hence, things are made expensive in this Niger Delta

What you just posted can start an e-fight. A foreigner identified a problem with that cuts across all parts Nigeria and the first thing to do is to attribute it to one tribe.

I could point out flaws in your argument but I will not so that peace can reign. You know that Nairaland has a tribal issue. We, that are in neither faction by choice should try to make a bridge for tolerance, not to start another e-fight.

Money

Yes we abt the money

d country is a poor country so wat do u expect, nigerians will always be motivated by money. case study: nigerians guys n girls in their youthful ages n our politicians. the govt isnt helping matters also. theres no inspiration to emulate the character of an important figure in the society because the society is full of deceitful persons, fraudsters, liars etc. its only money people depend on.

money stops bullshit man

Bullshit! make money or die beefing :/

I must confess that write up got to me and I think my point of view about success has changed tonight... GOD BLESS THE WRITER

Shoro niyen. We all know Tanzania is a poor country and I heard Diamond Platinumz' worth is more than that of his country so WTF is she saying. Na because say dem no get money for the country. If she was invited to sleep for just 2days in that house she'll forget all their values. Here in Naija, owo ni koko; Money supercedes all our values. Even our kings sold their kinsmen to the whites for money and other valuables. It's only in Naija you'll see someone that's not in the royal lineage becoming king all because he's stinkingly rich. So what are we saying 'Na money sure pass', that's the reason we are hustling, we ain't hustling cos of values.

Ask them oo

our future scares D shit outta me...we only talk about money and oil without having anything to show for it.Nigeria has absolutely nothing to contribute to the growth of the world...No scientific discoveries,No sophisticated manufacturing et....we have been parasite for over 70 years now.

Common Sense is what this Tanzanian has given our celebrities in Nigeria...

Linda Linda everywhere!

What the writer of the article wrote is so true. we are becoming materialistic and superficial in this part of the world.
People will go as far as committing crimes just to acquire wealth and this has nothing to with ethnic group. it's the present way of thinking.
We need total reorientation in this country,. There's more to life than silver and gold.
