I luv d 3idiots! Its a shame u're using 'his' name, yet thinking like Chatur!

Ranchhoddas:
Larry Page and Sergey Brin(Not brothers though), Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have an appearance of simplicity that stem from from their NATURE- they are techies/nerds. They will always appear 'simple' no matter how rich or poor they are. You should do a search of these people and see the kind of inanities' that these 'simple dressers' spend their money on. People derive their pleasures differently. My overall point is that we should not attack people who derive their own pleasures from 'dressing extravagantly' because a microscopic number of billionaires have decided to do otherwise; it has been the trend for the past few days and Nigerian celebrities are taking the most flak. I don't know much about Kate Middleton and I know that the Windsor family are not a billionaire family; they are millionaires at best. Dangote is always either on suit or that Hausa kind of dressing and there is nothing simple about any of that. You want make him wear chain?

vislabraye:



That's what I like to point out. People saying Mark Zuckerberg is humble because he dresses simple is sounding like a broken record. Bill Gates for instance has art works worth 100s millions of dollars. Yet dem go curse our Nigerian big men because them buy range rover sport say dem dey show off.

We should learn not to treat people the way they dress. A poor man might dress rich to impress while a rich man might dress modest.

An incident at an airport really put me off.

This one time I was traveling by a certain airline - lets call it Amirates. My flight was going to be more than 24 hours, so lets just say I was very comfortably dressed. Now I enter the airport and started walking towards the business class queue to check in my luggage. One of the staff members approaches me and tells me please join another line - the one for Economy Class passengers. I wouldn’t have had an issue but I had paid for this ticket and I did not find that reasonable. I let him know that I was heading to the correct queue. He asked me to show my ticket. I did. He says he’s sorry, puts on those happy faces, says a thing or two and tells me to have a pleasant flight.

While this might not be a big deal, I really felt bad that how people have this biased perspective on how rich and successful people are supposed to look and behave and would not accept that looks do not define a person.

Mines a bit similar.
A very hot guy asked me out. After a couple of date, i was meant to meet him up at 7pm at his yard. I got there at 7:30pm and he started talking down on me and said you know what? Why dont you leave I have my time planned out , you were meant to be here at 7pm.
Immediately he turned me away, i bursted into tears because I feel very insecure about my look at that time i was a bit chubby although i was considered attractive by some.
Everybody knows US weather is drastic and within 20 minutes it already turned dark and I was scared .
As i wept he sat me down and i caught him smiling at my predicament
I got up and left feeling deflated .
This guy dint know that I ride a nice car and my pad is hot.
Oneday, I threw a birthday party and he came as a mogbo moya guest, apparently his friend also told him who my "father" was bla bla bla.
He was acting proud at first but then he talked to me and took advantage of the vibe. We slept on same bed that night and Today he lives with me.
We fell in love naturally and the respect is there but whenever i remember his behaviour when we met, i feel some type of way :/

Askmewhy:
A lady came to my bank one day to pick up a western union after filling a transfer form decided to jump the queue and I was in the cubicle counting money because of crowd Immediately I saw her doing that I politely told her to please join the queue but she ignored me and moved ahead to the Teller, she looked at me and stretched her form to the Teller and I warned the Teller not to attend to any body who is not on the line, she started raising her voice and shouted and said all kind of un pleasant words and looking behind me thinking my back up is my supervisor and also demanded to see the manager. After wasting much time insisting on the conner I went to pick something I guess my Teller told her am his oga and the manager and he will not be able to attend to her, still stayed in conner until the last person was left probably cos if shame. Since then whenever she comes she will even greet me across the counter and follow the queue. So some people look at your size and think u are a small boy and will run their mouth.

SlowlybtSurely:
Mine is the complete opposite. The first impression people have of being from a wealthy background. Dem no know say shishi no gum me.

Even when I try to point out my #1,000 darling yaki hair and fairly used shoes/clothes, they go "yea right, you're just trying to be humble".

So here I am, enjoying my virtual wealth.

abeg abeg abeg. That line is so Africanish.Mark zukerburg that came to Lagos who is worth billions of dollars came from one continent wearing shirt and jeans. If an African was worth that much we no go hear word.agbada flowing everywhere, sycophantic dancers hailing and all sort of craps that will inflate his ego

On several occasions which I later realised I have unknown walked by millionaires in just jeans shirt and palm slippers meanwhile the bank workers that earn 60k a month will wear designer suits looking like they own the world

If you judge people by how they look outwardly you will miss a lot of opportunities

My mom and I were jisting some time ago and she said millionaires, billionaires and rich guys love to dress like they're broke meanwhile you will see cleaners and low income earners in an organisation dressing like they have a lot.you will see a cleaner that earns 15k a month borrowing 40k TO buy clothes for owanmbe. Difference IS that the rich save give invest and look ordinary but the lower ones will be looking so expensive on borrowed everything

I've experienced this alot. Well, I look way younger than my age and I don't dress extravagantly, not that I'm old anyway. Let me make reference to the most recent that happened to me.

I just rented an apartment in Surulere, went to get vegetables from a lady closeby, I told her I needed small...the next thing she asked was, how much did they send me to buy...arrrrrhg!!! I politely told her that no one sent me.

Probably because I was dressed casually, (Jean and polo)

byvan03:




She was no sales girl ooo, probably she is used to seeing thick madams or pregnant women buying baby things . Also consider that it was 7years ago.
