You seem not to understand my point, or maybe I was a bit harsh with my diction. Gone are they days when the rich oppresses the poor, today it is the poor that oppresses the rich. I have had several experiences that lend credence to this, but I will give you just few instances. While driving on the road I have often encountered some motor cyclist popularly called ``Okadamen``cursing the hell out of a motorist who from all adjudication has not defaulted any traffic rule, when in the real sense it was the motor cyclist that broke the traffic rule- the motorist offence obviously been that he his riding an exotic car.Most poor folks are often aggressive and vent their aggression on the people around them as if they are their reason of being poor. They will conspicuously infringe on your right, and when you retaliate they will shout ``maltreatment ``. They will demand financial assistance from you and when it is not forthcoming they will tag you an occultist. When you render the financial help and something goes wrong, either in their business or home, they will still tag you an occultist. Disclaimer: I am neither Rich nor poor.Poverty is a thing of the mind. nobleblood: |

yelanst: Lol!I will love to see a day were the poor are oppressing the rich. More like a day Karl max would invision. Venting out frustration is no were similar to oppression in the real sense. However, I won't deny I have not had similar experience to this effect. I think such instance draws from a single narrative. the tone in the country is one that all the money is being looted by the rich and carte away. So any rich man is seen as a enemy of the poor without recourse to how he/she made his wealth. Now its we( poor) v. Them(rich). Its a old movie script being re-enacted. Still, from this stand point, I mentain the rich are still the biggest influencer of sin. No biase intended friend. You don't want to know what most rich have done to get to where they are. Some of their humanitarian ventures are simply to make up for their soul. 1 Like |

lonikit: In the bible, Jesus warned and I quote, " You cannot serve two masters "; " You cannot serve God and money "... It means money has power to take a man away from serving God. And that is sin. |

I quote from the funniest bible passage I know � to answer this, Jesus said, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mark:10:25 |
