The point is that Nigerians are noise makers and have a culture of oppression, any small advantage a person have against others, he wants them to notice the difference. Then we value materialism so much that we forget the definition of wealth, we think it is by what we can show people that we have. Looking at Zucherberg, you will know Wealth is about the value that you add, how much can you add to other people's lives? how much impact can you make?

I don't think anything is wrong with someone putting on suite or native, dressing impeccably is great, but what's the mindset behind it? Is it to look good or dressing extravagantly to show - When GSM first came, some people where putting it on their waist or belt - we don't know how to add value to our world, na so so to they consume and showoff with what some other kids are doing somewhere else we sabi. And then a Millionaire in naira never goes to anywhere without some announcements - Bogus cars, Siren, Security, plenty wives, Money spraying machine etc etc.

so....after all the money, you still wear tshirts. Then you die, without enjoying your dough. On the other hand, you lavish all, die poor. The thing is, be balanced. Eat and save in balanced 'diets'.
That's all

Or maybe guys like Mark Zuckerberg just value different things and don't put the same value on the same things that you do.
