Someone asked how to sell Vanity

Let me tell you about Eko Hotel. Eko Hotel has 4 hotels located in the same premises. Eko Main, Eko Signature, Eko Garden and Eko Suites. Same hotel. Same furnishings. Same TV channels and same food prices largely. Same kitchen supporting guests.

But the prices are vastly different. From 210k to 800k depending. Big men like governors and CEO will stay in the Signature. Yes some suites have a living room and guest rooms, some rooms same as you get in Garden and Suites.

Airlines also understand the concept of vanity. You fly business class for a few hours, you will experience the same turbulence, but you will get a glass of champagne, a better menu that you might not be interested in eating and come out faster than the poor ones in economy. But you will pay 6 to 8 times for it.

Certainly if you can afford it, why not. It is the same with perfumes. Shoes and such. A designer label and strong mixes for you to pay 6 times the price for it.

That’s why companies spend vast amounts on branding. Branding is selling an illusion in most cases and many times the brand delivery is not the same as the brand promise. But we keep buying them.. because it makes us feel good.

And we all mostly want to feel good. You see the shoe brand with the red sole… yeah.

You will not be poor if you figure out how to sell vanity

Good evening house. I made the below rough estimate on what I'll need to run a 32inch TV, a sound bar, a ps4, 1 fan and 3 energy bulbs(not all in use at the same time). I don't know if it is viable. Your advice would be highly appreciated. Please the budget can't go beyond 650k.

Please go for lithium... The discharge rate of lead acid battery is too fast. Tubular is just bulky for nothing

Beremx:
so for reasons beyond his control he should marry another woman? So his father married a second wife for what reason exactly? Because he hàd too much money and didn't remember he had to invest in his kids?

Una dey ment

So you never date and break up before?

Whether dating or marriage, it's same thing. Irreconcilable difference can come in any one.

To make money, one may have to sacrifice something.. not being part of children upbringing, marriage, are some tough part of it

Sold

Beremx:
c You can't buy car for your father and another woman will be enjoying it. God forbid!! If your father needs a car desperately, he should sell his properties to buy one.
Nonsense

amazinghands

Don't listen to this. No one knows tomorrow.

You could in your father's shoes later.. you got married and for reasons beyond your control, divorced and remarried.

Now the children you sent to school are saying they will only buy car for their mother.

So far your father's wife is taking care of him well appreciate her little ways. When your father pass on, you don't have any biz with her again. Abi do you wish for your father to be suffering and die because he's with another woman other than your mother?

Appreciate your father when he is still alive. Many of his mates are already dying

amazinghands:
I appreciate everyone’s comments and suggestions. Just to provide more context: I have only one sibling, and I am of the opinion that he should be able to do more, given how flamboyant he has been with his spending.

You don't know how he came about the money he is spending before. If things were rough and then suddenly, money started flowing in, he might have taken a very difficult, hard decision back then to earn that money, so that his family will not suffer and his children can have have good education. ... That objective has been achieved and you are a beneficiary, even though the hard decision he took may have cost him his marriage.

Money from certain sources don't flow forever and there are conditions attached. There is certain type of money you earn that you cannot spend on your children even if you are building castles up and down. It may have been reason why your dad may seemingly have money but could not give you.

What if your travel plans didn't work out? My Dad did what you wanted him to do, sold a property to send my sibling out, but it didn't work, millions wasted. You have Goodluck, thank you stars first.

If you were to choose one:

1. your father didn't become rich, you didn't have the education you had, or he didn't even have 400k to give you because he didn't have.. he was just plain broke .. your Mom had no land no jewelry to sell, ... Your parents are still together... You are still here in Nigeria

2. Your father had money, he sent you to school you graduate, you manage go abroad and you are now doing well for yourself ... At the cost of your parents marriage

Choose one between the two.

If you choose option 1, you will marry and become a father one day, times will come when you have to face what your dad faced with respect to your children education,, if you don't have money then, you'll feel very bad.. in fact, it'll be ingratitude for you to choose option 1

If you choose option 2, give your Dad what he want, let him enjoy his old age. He won't be there forever. Many of his mates are already dying off. The little moments you still have with him now that he's still alive, make it memorable. Don't let it be after he has died, that is when you will now be regretting you didn't take care of your father well when you have the means

Klass99:
I find it interesting that most of the commenters above me are men with similar daddy issues. As in, sons and fathers not getting along well, sons treating their mothers better and not wanting to help their fathers.

The O.P will likely get married and become a father one day. It is from there that he will understand life better.

To be a man is hard enough, talk more if to be a father paying school fees termly up to university. What about those whose fathers passed on when they were just kids?

amazinghands whatever happens between your parents that caused their separation stays between them. Don't get involved in it. If you get married tomorrow, have kids and for reasons beyond your control, you have to separate from your wife, and your kids grow up and begin to lavish on your ex wife, how will you feel?

I'm in the same shoes with you at per daddy mommy things. There was chance to send someone out, he opted for my younger sister instead of me but it didn't work out sha. Am I angry? Not at all. The only difference between us that I never blow now, but God knows if I have, my father will enjoy his son well well before he pass on

Let me try, but make sure you keep an open mind. Don't come asking this question with a predetermined resolve to discredit any postulation/hypothesis/theory/experiential knowledge, etc.

.

What would you say about so called mercy soap?

sonofsteven:
Now the consequences

Everything that has advantages equally have disadvantages too

Anything that means altering nature,the way things were created always have negative side effects, always have

Does what they call mercy soap fall within the category too?

RTX laptops are meant to deliver realistic graphics for video calling, AI Video rendering and fast performance for gaming.

RTX laptops are best suited for professional applications like animation, computer-aided design (CAD), simulation, and rendering.

VRAM: The RTX 4070 typically comes with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, which is beneficial for handling high-resolution footage and complex projects. This is especially important for tasks involving 4K video editing or working with large design files in UX design.
