Your post makes no sense, do you know how expensive those 'simple' dress by those you call big men wear?

You sound local

Allow the poor to breath lol

Last Sunday Service was an eye opener

I saw a former PDP chairman brother from a very wealthy political family.

He was very low key in dressing
Infact he was wearing sandal pams

And you have guys who dressed up like they are going to visit Trump in White house.

Some of them even came with walking sticks and their traditional atire looking like a million bucks.

When church ended,
Senior man entered his Lexus 2024
All those boys entered Keke and left

I keep wondering, why do poor people dress like a million bucks??

To hide their financial status

2. If you ll be in your car most of the time, you might want to dress down due to limited visibility

Simply to cover up. They do this because they have been told that, "you will be addressed the way you dressed".

It's not about being physically poor but it's about poverty of the mindset.

There are very wealthy guys who actually dress big.

So sometimes it could just be preference

Poor people wants to appear rich while rich people wants to appear poor.

It is the need to impress, the need to show that one is doing well. The rich don't have anything to prove to anybody, their assets speak for them.

Moreover, the rich would rather spend to buy more income-generating assets than liabilities. The reverse is the case for the poor and middle class.

That is not always true, the rich also spend in different way. That simple T. Shirt you saw on a rich man might be x5 price of the ones you think poor men wore to impress. Rich do their shopping in expensive shops or malls, while poor can easily go to local cheap outlet to shop for clothes.

It is highly delusional to think rich people always invest and don't spend. Poor people don't buy cars or build houses for their girlfriends, it is rich people that does. What is the point of being rich and not spend, do you want to it to heaven?

One is illusion while the other is reality, simple

Financial Illiteracy is the only reason.

Dress how you want to be addressed. Haba, is this a twelve year old?

Wealthy people shouldn’t and don’t care. No matter how they’re treated in public, they still have their money. Treat a poor man like dirt and he may commit suicide from inferiority complex. Besides, anyone actually making money has more important issues to worry about than which clothes look stylish. Compare a Nigerian millionaire style-wise with Mark Zuckerberg. The difference is night and day. Let their bank accounts speak first.

Na una say make poor man dey always dress well, now un dey complain

The rich/wealthy shop in expensive malls because they can afford it. It'd be stupid for someone with no financial backup to do the same. The poor try to do this to impress people. That's my point!

dressing is a personal thing it does not matter whether you are rich or poor it depend on the individual that is involve my sister child was telling her mother this morning when her mother was bathing her that her mother should wear her fine cloth ooo a girl that does not know meaning of rich or poor imagine when she become an adult she would definitely dress to kill whether she is rich or poor

My own first question to you is that how do you dress ?
And also there's a parable that says avoid see finish, even if you don't have money or neither you are rich, just pretend you r living fine so the world don't talk bullshit about you
The way you look is the way you will be attracted, why do the people going for an interview always dress to put on coat, suits etc
Guess so they can be address well and put them in fit for the job right?
And again if I may ask you, someone who dressed well and not have much in their pockets how are you able to tell me he or she's is broke when you don't know them or never come across them ?

..but when the poor man dress dirty and indecent you will still complain..so nothing bad in them dressing nicely and decent so far they can afford the dress and wears

rickpat:
Why do you think they have fake gucci, Nike etc is for the poor to buy and wear to feel relevant and feel their esteem has being built

.
Abi.
And there is 2nd hand Gucci wears and dresses

They can't afford to suffer on both sides.

Sometimes those flashy wears and dresses a poor guy wears is 2nd hand wears and low quality they bought in an ordinary market and the wears costs cheap..so when you see them wearing it you might think the dress is very expensive and of high quality

So because he is poor he must put on rag .

Because they're insecure !!

Mirasteel:
Poor people wants to appear rich while rich people wants to appear poor.

Delusional...look around you in Lagos, do rich people really want to appear poor?

Most of you just dey talk nonsense, people driving 100million naira cars, want to appear poor?

Why do wealthy people have very expensive houses.

Poor men catching stray for nothing.....

The basis of our argument is that, the rich wore a simple dress, while the poor wears expensive ones. And I made you understand that those clothes you thought is simple might be x5 expensive than the ones wore by the poor you assumed is flamboyance. There are some malls you can't get any shirt less than 50k, while ordinary 15k dress at local shop can make a poor man look expensive in most cases. It only becomes problem when a poor man is trying to compete with the rich.

The rich also spend, stop the misconceptions that every rich man invested every kobo that comes to their accounts. If you know the kind of philanthropy service some rich men render to the society, you won't be talking like this. I have seen many rich people that built houses and buys cars for their girlfriends, will you say they are not wise enough by not investing such money?

Exactly

They're rich men who dress too much
They're rich men who dress modestly

They're poor men who dress too much
They're poor men who dress modestly

So what's your point please?

It's simple. Dress the way you wish to be addressed

When you're made already, you don't need evil eyes to spot you for abduction.

Even in simplicity, cars or assets you have would give you the confidence and self worth so you don't really need to overdo dressing.

Okay, UBA BOSS ELumelu is poor, i forgot

smokinloud:
In Nigeria, there are lot of advantage in dressing okay.

no single advantage sir.no rich person is loud.dress clean smart and modest.Ur skin and ur confidence speaks more than any cloths.

It's the same reason ladies do make ups, to complement.

You clearly don't understand both of my earlier comments that you responded to.

Let me make it clear now, perhaps you need to read slowly:

THE RICH/WEALTHY CAN DO ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD IT.

ALSO, THEY'D RATHER BUY ASSETS MORE THAN LIABILITIES !!!!!

If a rich man buys 20 mansions for 20 girlfriends, it's because they can afford it.
