Jobeleagu, I really love you. You are the sugar in my tea, the butter in my bread. This is pure love and not because of money. I cannot live without you. I cannot breathe without you. You are my everything. You make my heart beat. I love you more than life itself. Oh Jobele, jobele, jobele, you are killing me softly. So how much did you say you have again?  |

gbengaijot: @ Bidemi12. thank you for your post. I normally don't post on Nairaland due to the abusive nature of some individuals, but i have decied to comment on this.
For some reason, this thread displays how the rich and the poor thinks. When an individual spends 1 million dollars on something, an average poor man whose total asset is only worth 1 Million naira will think he is wicked.
Have you guys thought about how your tailor marvel at your small car? How your shoe maker think you are wicked for spending money on fast food restaurants? How your house cook thinks you are wasteful for spending loads of cash on uncessary cuisines? How your staff at work/surbodinates consider you to be financially reckless for changing your car every year. It might seem like a "no big deal" to you, its same way you see your small financial success as a no big deal is the same way that Adenuga sees spending 2 million dollars for music on his daughters wedding as a no big deal.
Does anybody know the calibre of individuals attending the wedding , lol. Its not the common man on the street. Its the high and mighty of Nigeria and abroad. Most people don't think the way rich people think, thats why they are poor. The $2m is an investment. Lets think about it, if Mr A of James Investment is attending, and sees beyonce perform at Mike Adenuga's wedding, and the few months after, Adenuga's proposal for a business deal lands on Mr A's desk, do you think he'll not award the contract to Mr Mike , he will. The Beyonce connection would have warmed his heart. I know you might see this as a crude understanding of the financial gains, but its true. Does anybody wonder why most rich men join clubs ?, has anyone asked, what do they do at clubs ??, its the way rich people think. Poor people don't think that way, that's why they are poor.
<sarcasm>You all don't expect him to invite "gbogbo elere" to his party do you? Neither do you guys expect him to invite a one man band who sequences beat using a casio keyboard, </sarcasm>
How many of you, will have a daughter who wants to get married, and you'll not spend as much as you can to make it eventful , i know so many individuals who will spend 3-5 million naira on their daughters wedding ranting on this forum, wont the common man on the street who does not have access to 3 square meals a day think you are financially reckless for spending that much ?, Wont you think its better for you to spend that 3-5 Million naira by donating it to the poor as well ?, Do you seee the relativity ?
I am not defending Adenuga, Not in anyway, however, think of it, apart from Dangote, he is another single largest employer of Labour in this country. I am sure eveyrone here has a family or friend or extended friend working at Glo. This same Adenuga broke the monopoly of MTN and EConet on call Tarrifs in Nigeria.
For those of you ranting that the UK has a better tarrif plan than Nigeria, does anyone realise that Glo and other network spends 40% of their overall cost on fueling generators , so also does every other business in Nigeria. If you want tarrif to go down, don't be jealous of Adenuga, protest against Nigeria's yey government to deliver on power, and see if the price of calls and other power related products will not go down.
Lastly, i think those ranting here are simply jealous. If you want to build your wealth to give to distribute to the poor, then work hard and smart, to get there. Stop complaining about a man who worked hard to be where he wants to be. Even if he did by greasing the palms of some people, at least he stood up to do something. Stop complaining, and go and do yours,
WHen you now work hard to earn 300 million dollars, then divide it by 150 Million and start distributing it to every Nigerians, wish you best of luck!
I know some people will still rant after my post. Do not abuse, put up constructive critiscm, thank you Best post so far. Whichever way we look at it, Gbengaijot has silenced all the foul-mouthed critics. @FL_GATORS, Wild guess: could it be because you live on Nairaland? LOL |

H2O2: it's not ladylike to gulp alcohol like it's water. I agree. Even the oyinbos that we are trying to copy copy by force, the men do dump their wives/girlfriends because she is a chronic drinker (I've seen cases like that). I don't drink in public because of men like adosjun, Tee_Jay, etc. who might take me for a LovePeddler.  But when my boyfriend brings a bottle of wine and pours a glass, I could pour a glass too and enjoy.  |

Fashion › Re: Would You Ever Go Back To Natural Hair? by lizzybabe1(f): 7:15pm On Feb 12, 2010 |
Tatase: I'm not natural although I transitioned for a year about 2-3 years ago (but didn't go through with the BC) because I felt pressured by a lot of natural hair nazis around.
Maybe for some its a political statement, but for me, it's just hair. I have oyinbo friends who wake up two hours early to curl their hair because they think its too straight and flat, some have even gotten curly perms for body and others who also wake up early to flat iron their hair. It doesn't matter because it's an accessory, so personal preference is the main thing.
I know a lot of people who attach a lot of meaning to what's going on on peoples' heads but really, it's pointless. Are people who dye their hair funky colors like blue and purple and green, trying to be aliens? Are people who get mohawks trying to look reptilian? Are people who get braids trying to be rasta? Are girls who shave their heads or wear low cut styles trying to be like boys and denying their femininity?
To me, we attach so much meaning to hair and stigmatize others and make them feel like they're not "enough" in some way just because they choose to wear their hair differently, when ultimately it doesn't matter. Everyone should wear their hair the way they feel suits them or the way they're happy with. Whether that's in a curly afro puff or a relaxed and set style, it shouldn't matter.
Some of these debates on natural hair vs. relaxed hair are pointless and are just ways, we as black women try to further divide ourselves and we need to stop. ***Standing Ovation*** WORD! |
