I think the clout chasing attitude of these rich kids are the reason for the back lash.

Many of them actually leveraged on the wealth of their parents and rather than keep a decent and humble profile, they usually show off in their actions and speech.

As they say, a boy who drives his father's car should not brag in the midst of bicycle owners.

I love Davido so much but I think he should brag less...but then he is still a small boy so I believe he will outgrow the clout chasing.

In as much as I wholeheartedly agree with your beautiful write up let's not forget that the children of the oppressors of this country also fall within group called rich even though their parents are not known to have neither a functional business nor did they invent something that propelled them to amass wealth, but they got rich at detriment of their constituents whom they have have kept impoverished due to their insatiable greed, as far as I am concerned anyone whose parent falls within the category of a political oppressor should be hated.
In the past once you are thief and you caught, everything that has to do with you will be named and shamed including your kids, this in turn will deter other from committing such crime.
If your parent are hard working people, you deserve no hate but if your parent are known looters of the common wealth of the people, people that deprive their constituents of hospital, schools and social amenities then you should enjoy and partake from the hatred that befalls them.
I love Davido and Burna.. they should resolve their issues amicably.

We live in dangerous times and there is a modesty that is most prudent. While I was at the university the daughter of a serving governor ate in the same wooden shack buka with us despite deluxe eateries around. I can tell you she was the most respected person we knew in the faculty, well loved. (We also knew her DSS guard who also attended classes with her, she obviously read him orders never to harass peops). She donated towards parties and picnics. The girl humble die. Rich kids don't help themselves with the need to brashly show off. Yes, the money is yours but why paint a bullseye on yourself for other frustrated peops to execute target practice. We live in dangerous times!

Nigerians generally have hatred for rich kids. They aren't the cause of your misfortune also no be them say make your papa no hustle or find his onions to make life better for you. Here in Nigeria we generally believe someone have to suffer before he makes it in life , that's a fvcked up mentality. Even Nigerian parents carry same mentality, they are always against seeing their kids wallowing in enjoyment because they believe he has to suffer first before he enjoys. Sometimes last year I wanted to send a kid in uni about 50k just for him to use hold body. The mom practically told me the money was too much and that it would get him spoilt that I should reduce it to 5k. I was like is it you joy to see your kids suffer? Why do Nigerians generally have this mentality that someone must suffer before he enjoys or that suffering is better than enjoyment.

Anyways this topic made me remember back then in boarding school, there was one rich dude in my class his dad was a top naval officer , (oil bunkering deals , bribery all). Everyone hated him because of his background but as usual of rich kids, Dem no dey stingy at all. They are free and cheerful with giving. As a sharp boy , I made friends with him , helped him arranged his cloths, wash , sweep , we read together and I never regretted it coz that boy spoil me no be small. Even during holidays he always invited me to his house chai see life. Their dog lasan na milk e dey drink every morning. Toys everywhere I could only dream of and I will look up to God, no be human being be this. Na chicken and juice I dey always use clean mouth every morning. Ordinary to chop beans, they will grate chicken inside, add all sorts of orisirisi, sweet corn, corn beef , con top am with one big turkey and freshly baked bread. After food we retire to play games and watch TV all day, play sports . chai oboy life sweet o. Money is good , very good.. Bola dey America now.

If we all want to be truthful the so called rich kids with wealthy parents know their parents have a hand in Nigeria’s poor state one way or another, nothing happens by mistake if they hate them it’s cause nature is passing the resentment that should have gone to their parents to them.



Another Thing No Rich person in this country of ours got rich without some form of Compromise prove me wrong I’ll wait.

DesChyko:
I have a concern with the number of likes this article has had.

Does it mean we're dealing with an unspoken yet firm belief?

Karleb:


You are creating a problem that doesn't exist.

Freemasonry:
Really? Perhaps you could enlighten the rest of us who believe it does.

olisaEze:
Guyman, people are not pissed at rich kids, they’re frustrated at the system!

Take a walk around and see 1st class graduates hawking to survive or working at mundane jobs while 3rd class children of the rich are well on their way to heading lucrative agencies and parastatals through a quiet word from one of daddy’s lackeys.

Why do you think the easiest way to dent a politician's image in Nigeria today is through his/her certificate?

The anger is not against any of those names up there but against a system that exalts mediocrity and treats merit to social distancing.

Nigeria is not India, we will not allow these politicians and their cohorts bring the caste system up North down South!

Jennycoolz:
No hates no insults , but OP I have a simple question which needs a simple answer

Q: what can davido buy for himself that burnaboy can't also buy for himself now what jealousy are you talking about sir ?

SamuelAnyawu:
I can't hate any Rich kid or Dudes.

Infact I usually go online to see Jowizaza, Obi Cubana, Quincy Nippon, Man like Chico, Instigator PH, Vintage Luxury Munne, doing things.

Them dey motivate me to hustle wella

fkj950ax:


The fact that you chose to use this classification speaks volume

Incognito403:
First paragraph, why not hate your father...

I don't like the line. There's no need to hate anyone, whether your father or anyone else's.

Still reading.

Freemasonry:

Be calming down brother. It’s just a word I felt fitted the narrative. No offense intended, if it’s any consolation I’m not a rich kid, so it’s safe to say I’m a full member of the hoi polloi community

Freemasonry:

Sorry brother. It wasn’t meant to be taken literally. I seriously doubt anyone here will hate their beloved fathers just because this article hinted at it. All the same I apologize.

I no get haters now am struggling,if oluwa pick my call and everywhere stew,haters go arise.Thunder fire dem in advance

Please don’t stop this one. If you go out of shape, you won’t see my brake-light again.

Asadujames202:
The way this country is

The hate is justifiable




Na the so called rich men ran the country down


And their kids are enjoying the proceeds

Omihanifa:
The hate and jealousy is simply because of the high poverty rate in the country coupled with the fact that most of these rich kids parent are part of the people that destroyed the country.

They are part of the people that contributed to the rot in the system

So Nigerians are automatically transferring that hate to their children.

How do you expect people not to hate somebody like kiddwaya that was busy bragging on bbnaija that he spent 3.1 million naira to charter a private jet that took him to Lagos for the show.

In a country where people are dying of hunger and there's extreme poverty you sef think am.

And for somebody like Davido, his own hatred is even self inflicted ( I feel he talks and displays to much information on social media)

Only a Davido will buy a car and be videoing how they are offloading the car inside his compound and still tell you that he paid 120million for it.

In other for these hatred to reduce some of these Rick kids should learn how to be conservative, it not everything they should be saying on social media. this is Nigeria where hunger and poverty is endemic and a lot of people live for the day

Gmajor:


Even though there are people who unjustly hate/envy rich kids, some of tthe examples you mentioned are not so on point.

For instance, you have some of them claiming that they achieved this and that and if they can do it, so can you.
This kind of statement shows an incredible lack of self awareness, considering that their background gave them a boost that most people don't have.

pocohantas:
Not just rich people, but happy people or anyone that looks like he or she is not struggling.



This is not about Davido, but a trend I have observed- online and offline.

Chii59:
The truth is that the poverty and hunger in Nigeria in the 5 years has never been seen before, except probably during the civil war.
And it is no lie that many of the parents of these so called "rich kids" celebrities helped to destroy this country. I see kiddawaya's picture in the illustration.. Well anyone with half a brain knows who Terry Waya was during pdp administration.
It's annoying and extremely painful for someone like kidd whose dad helped loot our common wealth to say "the only difference between you and me is hard work". Very painful.
And the ostentatious display of wealth? Nauseating.

Abuse! That's what any uncultured person gets

Hey rich kid, do you know the bolded is derogatory? Las Las, when we all die, the ground will not discriminate between the rich or poor.
