Not the epistle o. That one na hasty generalization

But you right about say I be poor man sha

It's like that in many parts of the globe but more pronounced in this part of the world due to the level of inequality/disparity between the rich and poor.

People date and make friends with those they grew up with. It is difficult for someone who went to Lekki British International School to meet someone who went to Oshodi Grammar School. Not possible.

Also, differences in lifestyles means that such relationships cannot work. A poor individual will feel intimidated by the lifestyle of their rich partner. The rich individual would feel irritated by the mentality of the poor spouse.

In this part of the world, when you marry someone, you marry their family. This is usually a recipe for disaster simply due to the lifestyle differences between the parties.

In this very forum, many people complain that rich people, especially rich girls, are pompous, not submissive and do rely heavily on their parents. Why then do you want to marry them? Marry your level while they marry guys who know where they are coming from.

XXXXTENTACION:
Forget Nollywood
the rich usually marry from rich homes while the poor are more likely to marry their fellow poor.




with this if you come from a poor background you are more likely to marry from that same background unless you are lucky enough to meet people from other backgrounds.



p.s Dangote's daughter never married a poor man

I will tell you the reason why most times it is hard for the rich and the poor to ever gel to the extent of getting married. Agreed they may meet in a public university and date or have a fling but it will not just work out 9 time out of 10. The reason is not because of the unavailability of cash or excess cash in the account of the poor man - It is the mindset of the poor that irritates the rich

1. The poor are not daring, they love to be in their comfort zones and will easily withdraw to their shell when faced with adversity, while the rich always see adversity as an opportunity to solve problems and profit from it


2. The poor are mostly ingrates. Forget all that smiles and endless thank you and the deceptive saying of “My God will bless you for me” bla bla bla _ underneath is deep anger and resentment laced with jealousy. And if you as a rich person is patient enough you will see sparks of that resentment and unwarranted resistance due to jealousy in the relationship.


3. The rich value trust and that is how they network amongst themselves and you can not build that good network and trust if you are an ingrate. This attitude of being ungrateful is an attribute the poor have in abundance


4. The poor have trust issues. They always believe someone is out to get them, superstitious beliefs rule their minds and they are weirdly antagonistic to concepts and practices they don’t understand. They believe every failure is due some witches or wizards coming after them, while the rich - mostly business men believe bad breaks do happen and they look for solutions and learn from their mistakes. Once your mind is blocked and made up that some powers beyond your control is responsible for your failure, you can never succeed in anything you do, because you will keep looking for solutions where they don’t exist.


These and many more are the reasons why the rich avoid the poor either consciously or unconsciously and no one should fault the rich for that because “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”

You are very brilliant!
It is hard to find young minds these days who can so clearly state meaningful points the way you did with this post.
