When I was giving the architect the briefing on my masion, I told him to make sure he adds a balcony to the side of the middle floor, he objected and said that already there are too many balconies.
I just said add one more, where I would be relaxing with Guinness and newspapers every evening when I retire.
Na that one go pepper my village people pass.

we're humans. Ego is part of what makes us human. Learn from the bosses here who have gone ahead in life and make better choices for yourself. Another thing is that just because here is a public place doesn't mean you can disrespect people here.

Good morning everyone and remember that I'm a welder and I will deliver your job

I was reading the whole exchange as a guest, I was enjoying the argument on whether to build a big house or a small house but ego got into it and the exchange took a sad turn.

.............................

How did we start comparing ivy league schools on an housing section is just unfortunate. Can we get back to the original debate as my dad wants to choose a house type foe the villa.

...........................

Humble request.

very cheap. All the bragging on Facebook by ESN of soldiers killed in Abia were Buhari?

All the threats of death by Kanu against Igbos who don't support IPOB are Buhari?

Burning of police station, INEC is Buhari too.

I have seen IPOB march in Enugu even before Kalu was arrested. They are all jobless street skanks with no hope for tomorrow.

They are the criminals in Igbo land.

There is a reason why MNK calls you Monkeys and Baboons living in Zoogeria.

Weathered:
Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB have brought more disaster and disruptions in South East than Buhari and APC combined


Tell your children the truth.

I want to believe the point here is the craze to show that I have arrived thereby leading to all manner of crime and whatnot.

Why do people want to make money?

The "popular" purpose is telling on our environment and society at large.

13 years old buying a benz
30 years old killing his younger brother of 21 years with advise from his mother for money rituals.

The craze to show that I have arrived.....

michlins:
has it occurred to you that some people have done everything you listed here and still have insane amount of money left and they legitimately made it too. So they can afford to splurge it on mansions,cars or very expensive vacations.


We're all different people. We derive pleasure in different things. Your source of pleasure might sound stupid to me but it's your money and your choice. Same goes here too

I learnt the lesson from my uncle. Massive 8 bedroom duplex with two bedroom boys quarter. Today, all the kids are in UK, Canada, Copenhagen, Denmark and Ibadan. The house was a beehive of activities in the 90s through the mid 2000 as family members visited in their numbers from the East.
Today, when one talks in the house, it echoes. His two gigantic Listers are packed in the generator's house, unserviceable. The house continue to dilapidate, except when the one that lives in Ibadan comes around, he tries to do some patchy work.
Those abroad don't stay when they come to Nigeria with family. The stay in hotel and visit. The house is no more conducive. The small Gen cannot carry AC .

Hajj, you can still repurpose it at the appropriate time if you want. Nothing spoil. It is still an asset.

Why do people think that spending big on luxuries is a waste of money? I really don't understand some arguments here seriously.


It's possible to be legitimately rich and still want to have the good things of life.

During 2020, the world richest people added over $5trn to their collective wealth. Rolls-Royce made their biggest sales same year. Do you know why, the rich realized how quickly and vain this life is. There's so much you can invest. You as the person making the money deserves to enjoy part of it. You can't boil the money or cook it. You will rather spend it on what your neighbors and folks alike will call "showoff"
