I get angry wen I see idiot like you speak, who is talking about living like Jay z, is asking for our basic amenities now sense of entitlement?
Is it now a crime to ask govt for constant light, good road, good health care. No one is saying govt should give us everything but what we deserve.

The question is what did their parents actually do to afford that lifestyle for them back in the day? 3.5 mil per term school is definitely not for the middle class, even less 20 years ago. So why don't people like him just do what the parents did, continue running the family business and just keep getting richer?

My guess is that there was never any business to begin with. Maybe their parents were the jobbers who brought Nigeria to its knees in the first place, now they are either retired or dead, so no more access to free money. Of course the kids of today's political class and their proxies are the ones attending 3.5 million per term schools now. And guess what? Themselves and their parents are eating the future of Nigeria, today. Those kids will surely come back here too, to lament when their parents are dead.

GavelSlam:
They are the elite based on the 'hustle' of their parents.

Question now is, what is their hustle?

What are their expectations?

If they have a car and home already, I'm assuming they want more.

All well and good, but is that a realistic expectation?

If you have all these, then your only rightful complaint should be issues relating to insecurity.

Wherever else you find yourself you would hardly have more than a car and home.

GavelSlam:


I take it this is what this thread is about?

How when they were in Atlantic Hall, they enjoyed 24 hour electricity or perhaps it is about the pipeborne water that they enjoyed at their various locations.

You aren't the sharpest tool.

ClearFlair:
They never see anything good in Nigeria. We know them. They obviously did not learn how to fend for theI'mmselves in the absence of their folks.

He also made sense with the write up.we don't produce,and he was saying you want to live like jaz z,which every normal thinking knows he was driving a point inform of exaggeration.

GavelSlam:


Where ?
UK?
USA?
Canada?
Scandinavia?

You don't produce anything but want to live like Jay-Z.

Nigerians and their sense of entitlement.

It means the describing of something and making it more than it really is. ... A hyperbole (IPA:[haı'pɝ.bə.li]) is a type of exaggeration that is used in literature. It is a figure of speech

Its good that people are speaking up but this one’s sense of entitlement because his parents made it in the 60s, went to 3.5 million secondary school and built house in VI is somehow.

charliboy654:

And who's fault is it that we don't produce, is under this condition with no light or good road that we want to produce. Govt should provide the basic for us, and we will live like Jay z.

And I know English, no need to school me.

SAVEDBABA:
You are making no sense,dont try to defend the guys nonsense.

CodeTemplar:


I like the bold part. Intelligent use of words for a claim you know is probably true but hard to prove conclusively.
I hope gavelslam and others like him learns.

Had to bring me into the mix.


Read my original post and compare .

What inferiority complex?

You see the problem with you and your kind? You assume that once people don't agree with you, they are poor. In my early grade school, my school fees were paid in thousands of US$ per month. I did not grow up in Nigeria and I'm not Nigerian. Do not jump to insult everyone you meet online.

I am not Nigerian to begin with, so some of your rants above, I do not even get them.

You sound disgusting and bitter. You think you are better than everyone else, but you don't know everyone else. There is no thread that you do not use to belittle your fellow countrymen with your wack pride about attending a school the people in public universities believe you only entered because you are not intelligent and your entry results were so poor.

That you went to one of your mediocre private universities in Nigeria is not enough to make you speak of inferiority. You are inferior to me already. Go.

Maybe you think you are a rich kid. You aren't. You're poor to me. Your hatred of your superiors will one day get you into sticky trouble. May baseless ego help you fall hard.

Selfish set of individuals. All I see here is complaint about their own wealth.
Not one of them is helping any Nigerian.
We will be sitting here looking and suffering, while the Western world will be sending NGOs and United nations into our villages to help suffering and sick people.
Theses ones only know how to finish their parent's money and run to london.
Useless set of complainers.

The man said "3.5 million per annum" but lazy blogger made it out to be "3.5 million per term."

This is simple Karma.
They were the ones forming big boy in the days, spraying money and flauting wealth.
That time is over now. Now they are facing hardship.

GavelSlam:
Nigerians really make me laugh.

You bribe to pass UME and to gain university education.

When you are forewarned of the consequence of a society driven by corruption, you shout down the lone voice.

Here on Nairaland, someone would display a garage full of exotic cars, when someone asks what his trade is, you descend on the questioner with the anger of a crusader.

Many of you, not all, have parents who are civil servants with homes spread across all the posh estates including Malibu.

You say it is Hard work.

Let's continue the pretence.

anungangampu:
my goodness can u just shut up...this is mediocrity flowing from one mouth.... I have never cheated anyone in my life or got my means through dubious affairs but the state of the country does not discern against any social class or integrity class...if u are able to make it a day without hoping on someone to help u out then u should be thankful to God and just Shutup when matters like this come up cos ur type is not in the perspective.,

adonainana:
Pls let me repeat what i said on LIB again cos this is the story of my life. My dad built a filling station in 1998. At the time we did a certificate of value and it was valued at 8 million Naira in 1998. 8 Million Naira was 400,000 Dollars ( 1 naira to 20 dollars). I wanted to cry when we done another certificate of value this year, It was valued at 15 million naira ( 40,000 dollars) so before i started crying i asked my dad, why did he believe in the Nigerian dream, assuming he sold the property for 8 million 20 years ago and went and jejely bought a property in the uk or in the US with his 400,000 dollars,

He would have been a millionaire in dollars now cos 400,000 dollars 20 years ago is probably something else now in the SAME CURRENCY.

Nigeria why ??

So even me now i wonder how would i be able to meet up with my dad achievements just right about the same age he done it too i am approaching now.
