Guyman, people are not pissed at rich kids, they’re frustrated at the system!

Take a walk around and see 1st class graduates hawking to survive or working at mundane jobs while 3rd class children of the rich are well on their way to heading lucrative agencies and parastatals through a quiet word from one of daddy’s lackeys.

Why do you think the easiest way to dent a politician's image in Nigeria today is through his/her certificate?

The anger is not against any of those names up there but against a system that exalts mediocrity and treats merit to social distancing.

Nigeria is not India, we will not allow these politicians and their cohorts bring the caste system up North down South!

You are very correct. It’s a failed system that has left our youths disillusioned and angry. But that’s a conversation for another day.
Stay safe.

Chii59:
Hey rich kid, do you know the bolded is derogatory? Las Las, when we all die, the ground will not discriminate between the rich or poor.

No vex my sister. In fact, I’m going to rephrase that part ASAP. And I am not a rich kid at all, I’m even the state chairman of the hoi polloi in my state.

SimplyFacts:
What do you expect when you try to make others feel inferior

Are Aliko Dangote's children not humans?

Abuse! That's what any uncultured person gets

You know it’s different for the ones constantly under public scrutiny due to this celebrity ish.

Chii59:
The truth is that the poverty and hunger in Nigeria in the 5 years has never been seen before, except probably during the civil war.
And it is no lie that many of the parents of these so called "rich kids" celebrities helped to destroy this country. I see kiddawaya's picture in the illustration.. Well anyone with half a brain knows who Terry Waya was during pdp administration.
It's annoying and extremely painful for someone like kidd whose dad helped loot our common wealth to say "the only difference between you and me is hard work". Very painful.
And the ostentatious display of wealth? Nauseating.

I can relate bro...truly life no balance but that one no mean say make we dey hate on anyone.

Gmajor:
Even though there are people who unjustly hate/envy rich kids, some of tthe examples you mentioned are not so on point.

For instance, you have some of them claiming that they achieved this and that and if they can do it, so can you.
This kind of statement shows an incredible lack of self awareness, considering that their background gave them a boost that most people don't have.

Don’t forget that they also put in a considerable amount of effort to make the endeavor work out, so it’s only fair that they claim credit for their success.

Thanks for your observation tho.

Asadujames202:
The way this country is

The hate is justifiable




Na the so called rich men ran the country down


And their kids are enjoying the proceeds

You’re going to be quite wealthy very soon...that’s if you aren’t already.
Would you want people to hate your innocent children?

Incognito403:
First paragraph, why not hate your father...

I don't like the line. There's no need to hate anyone, whether your father or anyone else's.

Still reading.

Sorry brother. It wasn’t meant to be taken literally. I seriously doubt anyone here will hate their beloved fathers just because this article hinted at it. All the same I apologize.

fkj950ax:
The fact that you chose to use this classification speaks volume

Easy bro. As I already said in an earlier quote I’m a full member of the hoi polloi so to speak, I am not an OBO and no offense was intended or taken.


But if you’d like me to rephrase that part, I will be happy to do so. My intention was never to ruffle the sensibilities of others with this. In any case, I apologize.

SamuelAnyawu:
I can't hate any Rich kid or Dudes.

Infact I usually go online to see Jowizaza, Obi Cubana, Quincy Nippon, Man like Chico, Instigator PH, Vintage Luxury Munne, doing things.

Them dey motivate me to hustle wella

You nah guyman. See roll call of your guys.
In 2021 you and these guys you mentioned will be chilling.

Jennycoolz:
No hates no insults , but OP I have a simple question which needs a simple answer

Q: what can davido buy for himself that burnaboy can't also buy for himself now what jealousy are you talking about sir ?

Thank you for asking bro.
Burna has been a commercial success and there’s no doubt that he can afford a lot of things money can buy.
But here’s the deal, he feels that he deserves to be where he is, and that David doesn’t. So he begrudges him for his background which he erroneously believes enabled him to be his equal.
So from resentment came hate, and with that jealousy.
You get the point now?

Karleb:
You are creating a problem that doesn't exist.

Really?
Perhaps you could enlighten the rest of us who believe it does.

DesChyko:
I have a concern with the number of likes this article has had.

Does it mean we're dealing with an unspoken yet firm belief?

I’m sure that a deeply introspective diagnosis of your mind will suffice to answer your question.
Happy new year in advance.

AlphaAlex:
If we all want to be truthful the so called rich kids with wealthy parents know their parents have a hand in Nigeria’s poor state one way or another, nothing happens by mistake if they hate them it’s cause nature is passing the resentment that should have gone to their parents to them.



Another Thing No Rich person in this country of ours got rich without some form of Compromise prove me wrong I’ll wait.

Brother why you wan give me this kind PhD assignment nah?
Abeg make we pass the assignment to EFCC or ICPC

illicit:
Who is ur hoi polloi

Be calming down brother. It’s just a word I felt fitted the narrative. No offense intended, if it’s any consolation I’m not a rich kid, so it’s safe to say I’m a full member of the hoi polloi community

HitlerGaddafi:
Nigerians generally have hatred for rich kids. They aren't the cause of your misfortune also no be them say make your papa no hustle or find his onions to make life better for you. Here in Nigeria we generally believe someone have to suffer before he makes it in life , that's a fvcked up mentality. Even Nigerian parents carry same mentality, they are always against seeing their kids wallowing in enjoyment because they believe he has to suffer first before he enjoys. Sometimes last year I wanted to send a kid in uni about 50k just for him to use hold body. The mom practically told me the money was too much and that it would get him spoilt that I should reduce it to 5k. I was like is it you joy to see your kids suffer? Why do Nigerians generally have this mentality that someone must suffer before he enjoys or that suffering is better than enjoyment.

Anyways this topic made me remember back then in boarding school, there was one rich dude in my class his dad was a top naval officer , (oil bunkering deals , bribery all). Everyone hated him because of his background but as usual of rich kids, Dem no dey stingy at all. They are free and cheerful with giving. As a sharp boy , I made friends with him , helped him arranged his cloths, wash , sweep , we read together and I never regretted it coz that boy spoil me no be small. Even during holidays he always invited me to his house chai see life. Their dog lasan na milk e dey drink every morning. Toys everywhere I could only dream of and I will look up to God, no be human being be this. Na chicken and juice I dey always use clean mouth every morning. Ordinary to chop beans, they will grate chicken inside, add all sorts of orisirisi, sweet corn, corn beef , con top am with one big turkey and freshly baked bread. After food we retire to play games and watch TV all day, play sports . chai oboy life sweet o. Money is good , very good.. Bola dey America now.

You thoroughly enjoyed yourself...correct guy!

Mitsurugi:
We live in dangerous times and there is a modesty that is most prudent. While I was at the university the daughter of a serving governor ate in the same wooden shack buka with us despite deluxe eateries around. I can tell you she was the most respected person we knew in the faculty, well loved. (We also knew her DSS guard who also attended classes with her, she obviously read him orders never to harass peops). She donated towards parties and picnics. The girl humble die. Rich kids don't help themselves with the need to brashly show off. Yes, the money is yours but why paint a bullseye on yourself for other frustrated peops to execute target practice. We live in dangerous times!

You’ve spoken well bro... all the same we can do away with the needless hate.

jornwhite:
You can't munchup everything, hate for the rich kids is not same as hate for happy people or made hustlers. oyato sii ra'won.
Maybe the thread is not about davido, buh its certainly about the ObOs only, when people start downsizing timaya, olamide, wizkid achievement to background then we can address it as a general thing. adding to the narrative was the only way to feel among miumiu
aunty linda is fvcking rich, is there any similarity between how people hate on her compared to dj cuppy. @freemasonry i am not surprise you agreed with her, buh it only shows you don't have an indepth knowledge about your own topic.

Did it cross your mind that you could have actually made your point without being impertinent?

Anonymous forums like this doesn't mean you can't be graceful and subtle when you have a difference of opinion.

You better lose this attitude of yours in 2020, coz if you carry on like you know everything in 2021 you're going to grow into a very hateful person.

And for the record, hate is hate. Unless you know something we don’t.

Pulsenaija:
I for insult you but you no reach

The truth is you really can’t, cos his points hit home.

pocohantas:
Not just rich people, but happy people or anyone that looks like he or she is not struggling.

I couldn’t agree more pocohontas.
It’s just as you said, they don’t want to see anyone doing better than them.

Btw, thank you for your Christmas largesse to nairalanders a few days ago.

I've come to understand that it's almost normal for the hoi polloi to hate privileged people. I don't really understand the psychology behind that but I know it's unhealthy and silly. Instead of misdirecting such misguided hate on people whose fathers made money why not hate your father who couldn't make it.

Take for instance, a few years ago Paddy Adenuga had published an inspiring article where he shared his struggles in business and how he succeeded, but in a bizarre twist of narrative the haters attacked him and alluded to the fact that his father's money did this and did that.

Shortly after, Dj Cuppy was also bullied online by people who believes she has no business being a dj, let alone a popular one at that. To them it's her affluent background that's doing the trick not her talent.

The same with Davido. No matter what he does, how many awards he wins, or cool tunes he drops, he'll never be good enough for these people who believe he didn't earn his place at the table.

Instead, they revere and respect those they think are from the streets even when these people are nothing short of mediocre. A case in point is the current frosty relationship between Davido and Burna boy, how did it all start? Both of them were chummy until Burna boy made a disparaging remark about Davido's father buying fame for him. This was not only in bad taste but smacks of obvious jealousy. That you struggled to climb up the ladder due to lack does not make you better, or mean that those who have the resources to advance their dreams or careers must suffer like you before their talents can be validated.

And if the eyewitness account in the media is anything to go by, then it’s obvious that this unfortunate incident was all Burna boys doing. He showed up at the club with 6 hired goons and went straight to the VIP section where Davido was sitting to confront him. Although this is yet to be verified but judging from Burna boy’s propensity for violence it is highly probable that is what happened.

It’s time people do away with this wrong notion that privileged kids don’t deserve what they have. No matter how hard they work there’s always someone who thinks that without their money they’d probably not make it that far, but nothing could be farther from the truth. These kids work just as hard as the poor kids, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using what you have to advance yourself. I mean you can’t hate on these kids just for being rich as if they’re the ones that stopped your father from making money. It’s wrong and it’s in bad taste.

Instead of hating divert that energy into making money so your kids won’t be just like you. Shout out to David. Keep keeping it a 100.

It’s Christmas Eve and since I’m home alone and low on cash, I decided to treat myself to some entertainment - music and movies.

Fortunately my playlist is insane, and to top it off the cable tv guys are spoiling me with great Christmas-themed classic movies.

What’s your favorite Christmas-themed movie?

My all-time favorite is “Home alone2”. Damn! That kid really showed those crooks. And to think that after 30 years this movie still rocks is totally awesome.
If you haven’t seen “home alone” my friend, then your childhood is missing something.


Btw
Compliments of the season folks.������������������

Mods please push to FP so that those of us who couldn’t travel can have a bit of fun.��

Quality Italian shoes

Please do you have this?

One of the reasons I love Don jazzy is because he has a healthy sense of humour.

This Rihanna thing is one of his oldest cruise-catching gimmicks.

I suppose they are operating under the idea of ”to whom much is given, much is expected”.
However, you can reset their brains to the prevailing situation.

This is soooo annoying. If it were innocent, law abiding civilians now, these idiots will display unwarranted force and might. See ordinary boko boys they’re seeking external help.

Nonsense and ingredients!

There are 3 sides to every story. Who knows Seun might not be the thug this narrative is trying to paint.

The box is just a promotional strategy for Papa Benji’s new album’Yabasi’.

Yabasi is the Igbo nomenclature for onions, and Basket Mouth is cleverly leveraging the scarcity of the commodity to promote his new body of work... and I think it’s really clever.
Go check out Papa Benji’s “Yabasi” and feel the dope vocals of Basket mouth and other featured artistes like phyno, Zoro, WC, illBliss, etc...
