Bet why??

DONT JST LOOK RICH.... BE RICH!!!!!!!!!!!

Me

I don't even have time to show off because my priority in life is having more than i have now not showing off. Rich people don't show off!

people still wear watch in 2017 when every device in the world now tells the time ?

I don't think they wear it for time anymore. Most luxury watch owners are collectors, some others make fashion statement with it. In fact there are more designer watch makers today than there is 30 years back and they are making tones of money.

was people really showing off before the intention of social media?

Its because of inferiority complex, nothing more. I need to add these things because without them, I dont think Im worth it. On my one, im inferior. Would Zukerburg Warren Buffet or Gates shout about their riches. I have met ppl ion my course of work that are billionaires ( USD) but you would NEVER know, why, they dont care for your or my acceptance. They already feel confident and not inferior.

Watches are a symbol affluence. Men prefer to be known by their watches than their names.

True and you need to be a watch enthousiast to buy them since the upkeep is exepensive. Breitling is EUR 199 per 1-2 years and full service ( every +-4 years) is EUR 599.

Exactly, but bro. I service mine with one guy in naija. He's good but all I need is to order parts for him. But I love watches, I can wear the cheapest shoe or shirt. But my watch must be complicated and also an investment that I can sell on eBay and get physical cash in no time.

When you make it and come out of poverty I won't lie it must be tempting to show off. I'm not talking bill gates or foreign people that have some sort of welfare program for citizens without work

when you truly understand that wealth is something you amass and not necessarily show then you adjust and stay silent

Think Of MJ , Mc Hammer people that didn't use their wealth wisely we should learn from that

I share quotes or just little side notes of my day or even Fashion

Even those who say it's offensive for some na celebration they may not see it that way you really don't know where people started from

Well if it was me probably not since I know there is hunger in the land but I will share inspiration

Some of us do upload on social media for future uses and reference since keeping pictures isn't that easy.

Wow nice to meet another watch aficionado. I WAS watch crazy till my wife was like buy the ONE you want, I didnt she did. Guess she got loney about my obsession. I have mine always done by Breitling themselves, via dealership. Main reason the give a full guarantee and if you ever want to sell, thats the first thing they want to see, the service book.

Same here bro, you are right, when they service it for you it's like the price will even edge up more. I just can't afford warranty servicing right now.

But I have seen a 65 year old watch sold and serviced by Patek phillipe, sold at $50k and guess who bought it from the auction. The company representatives themselves. I wanted badly to find out from the rep. Why they had to buy their own watch back, but I could not reach him. After much investigation I found that a watch that old and still in a very good condition is a perfect advertising model for the maker.

So if you ever want to sell your breitling you will get way way more than you paid for it.

They showoff becos they don't have.
The Real billionaires have no time to showoff.
Even Jay-Z the real money on music don't showoff cos he is too rich to showoff

Donald Trump is a billionaire and a show off
So what are you saying?
The Kardashian family as a unit is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and they show off
Even the Adelekes (Davido dem) are one of the richest Nigerian families and some of them are show offs.

And none of these people can be said to be empty barrels, or not have anything

Show off is a personality thing, and has nothing to do with how rich you are

Joavid:


and you believe he has 30 billion in his account?

Yeah,I believe he does. Even his father proved him wrong and told him dat it is 90 billion and not 30.

But I have never seen citizens of any country show off what they’ve got on social media more than Nigerians. They show off almost everything they do, what they buy, how they buy, their next move and actions. Some practically live their lives on social media. But trust me, most of the things they show off are fakes. They live fake lives.

Misleading and somewhat suspiciously jealous seeming.

Firstly, Nigerians tweet on stuff in the Nigeria sphere of existence. Our attitude is part of our ways. If some Ugandan, Kenyan or African want inclusion in predominantly Nigeria discussions then they can't expect to interfere or pass judgment on what Nigerians tweet about and get away with it. Especially if Nigerians are defending themselves from attacks by other African folks that want to get involved with us but go about it by first wanting to bring us down to their level. Incidentally, this attitude of judging Nigerians,which is an indirectly way of wanting to control them, smacks of influence from the perennial Western need to define black people in order to control them.

Secondly, one would have thought Nigerians have learned by now that we arent all that bad being so-called Arrogant Nigerians. Have you seen how arrogant the rest of Africa gets when they have one tiny thing. Ghana with her Electricity and one good university; tiny, tiny Rwanda with her recent good economic indicators; Kenyans with thire white benefactors! Oh my god, they will not stop boasting!!!

Nigerians are allright in my book, dont let the world controll you, please. We need to identify the best of our unique ways and guard them jealously against the pressure to conform to the expectations of outsiders. We don’t want browbeaten into one huge controlled pile of black/ African sameness. We are Nigerians with characters and ways of seeing the world informed by the ethnic groups’ within our borders.

So find a category to fit me in.
