Mygermanfriend: What is wailing?

Me: What do you mean? Leave me alone, i'm trying to sleep.

Mygermanfriend: Seriously, what is wailing? I just saw the term being used on that Nairaland site.

Me: Oh God, I told you not to take anything you see there seriously.

Mygermanfriend: But what is it?

Me: "sigh". . . .To a Nairalander it is a term used to ridicule an opposing view.

Mygermanfriend: I don't understand. An opposing view, good or bad, is a good thing. It is the bedrock of any democracy.

Me: You think i don't know that? You try telling them that?

Mygermanfriend: Strange.

Me: What they don't understand is the real damage of using terms like that. Their ability to debate issues logically and with common sense becomes limited because they can't, and because they can't they term any view other than theirs as "wailing".

Mygermanfriend: Daammmnnn, these people really have issue.

Me: I told you their brains were wired differently from everyone else on the planet.

Mygermanfriend: Hmmmmm.

and Rochas was there

Jewelry hold more sentimental. I could buy a kilo of gold cheaper than a 10gram designer necklace.

At the end of the day, jewelry appeals to vanity only.

If it isnt part of the crown jewels held by the Queen or the Hapsburg diamond collection then it isn't going to mean sh1t.

What price will I put for a an original custom designed Wu-tang gold pendent worn by GZA? Nadda! I will simply melt it and recast the gold.

Mayweather jewelry no matter how much he foolishly paid for them aren't going to hold any sentimental value in future - maybe his title belts will do well in an auction but that depends on if a nerdy billionaire tech executive likes boxing and mayweather paraphernalia

PappyMason:
You get a $250,000 pendent from Tiffany's when you rich and when you take it back when you broke they offer you less than 10% at the back of the counter because they will tell you that pinky rings are in and gold is old. They will also let you know that you won't be paying any Tax on your liquidated Jewelry and so you end up taking 15 grand.

Such is life.

PappyMason:
So he spends it on hookers and shiny jewelry.

I know for a fact that if you reinvest whatever income you make into a venture you get exempted from paying tax.

PappyMason:
I can't wait to hear in the near future that he is broke
