raumdeuter:
Which is why I wrote the below yesterday but that is not godmode though



Unless godmode means upperclass

Olowunl01:
Chairman, all dependant on lifestyle. $2M is alot in every part of Nigeria, nah this undefined god mode be wahala, but if going by the items he listed, cars & having staffs, being able to eat at top places, easily you will get that with way less than $2M, you go even fit follow MC chook mouth for yoruba nollywood ladies sef

MonsieurCoder:
Ok o. $2M usd upper middle class in Nigeria? Ok. I hear you chairman. Salute.

raumdeuter:
What you listed above puts you in upper class mode not in god mode that the original poster wrote in his post quoted below. A single G-Wagon or Cybertruck will almost consume the 500m
For example Cubana chief priest bought 1 Range rover for his wife and the cost was about $250K according to Naija blogs. So the cost of delivery to Nigeria you can imagine how that will end up being. Now to live in godmode, you wont have just 1 luxury vehicle, you probably need 2 or 3 of similar cars to be in godmode. Now how much will that be
before we go to the regular Hilux for escort cars

That business class ticket abroad will it be for only him or he wont have a family that are also travelling business class with him plus the hotel and how many times this godmode big boy make such trips in a year. Do you know how much eat at best places when you travel will cost and do you think the expense you described will get you VIP treatment everywhere in Nigeria even before talking of abroad?

Now when you spend that $2m, how much of it will be left

BlueRayDick:
I know he's deliberately avoiding putting a budget to all of the luxuries he's been talking about.

I know he was talking about luxurious lifestyle he was referring to the kind of lifestyle being portrayed by people lik Jowizaza, Obi Cubana and co. The L he is not willing to swallow is that those people are actually worth over $2m he benchmarked in his post and that's the reason why they can afford those lifestyle.

He is trying to co-opt people who didn't follow the discussion from inception to help him turn amala and change goalpost but e no dey turn well. Can u please borrow him ur turning stick?

Olowunl01:
This is the crux of the matter, and the focus on Lagos, Abuja. It is very doable outside your Highbrow Lagos & Abuja environment. Apart from first class kings and a handful of Kings, Majority of these Naija King's aint rolling in billions.

Putting N2B on TBills means you collecting over $200k to spend yearly which should cover 1st/Biz class foreign travels and expenses. You can live like a king

BlueRayDick:
Lmao. He say I dey shift goal post, I only repeated what u said and tried to paint a vivid picture of some of the things u referred to as "king's lifestyle in ur previous post. I wanted him to be sure he knows the value of those things in monetary terms and not just assuming "e no no supposed pass xxxxx million naira"

As for u, I have no time to waste trying to show u how impossible ur fantasy is.

One thing u should know if u dey see money like u claim is that most of the people u see "Living like kings" are actually worth more than the $2m u are referring to.

U may know this and refuse to accept in order to save face, but it is what it is.

BlueRayDick:
He simply said "With $2m in Nigeria you can live the sort of life people worth $200m in the US are living.". To me this means the person is worth $2m in assets, cash at hand and in goodwill.

So u are saying a person worth $2m will live in a mansion(The value of which is inclusive in the $2m), he will own at least one luxury vehicle , have at least two security pickup trucks, have at least 8 security officers in his security details, will be able to fly anywhere anytime , buy VIP treatment for himself anywhere he finds himself ,etc all inside his networth of $2m?

Pray tell, which commercial city in Nigeria will he be able to achieve all of these?

Godx:
Some posters on nairaland are really detached from reality and are so obsessed with Lagos this and Lagos that. Folks are actually here arguing that 3.5billion wont make one live like Elon musk in a country where the minimum wage is 75k. Some of you need to actually visit other parts of the country.

donjazzet:
You guys are not getting his point. Maybe it's because he's using the dollar figure.
$2m is approximately 3.5 billion naira. That is indeed enough to guarantee you the life of a king in Nigeria. You can build a correct mansion with like 400 million naira in the lesser high brow and enough to maintain your wealth while being able to afford premium healthcare in Nigeria.

Yeah his comparison with that of $200m is far fetched. But the main point stands that the lifestyle of 3.5 billion naira is better in our own dysfunctional society to it's equivalent in the USA where you're still very much in check by the society.

Melvyn11:
Just few months back the argument was 95% of Nigerians won't see up to 160million in their lifetime now we are seeing 2million dollars won't make you live a lavish lifestyles in this same country.

raumdeuter:
You think if you have $200m cash in America you are a small boy by any definition? where the average annual salary is $50k
With $200m cash you can do most things the elites can do

raumdeuter:
You are the one changing the premise now. The chart you showed initially was talking about networth not spending money

If you already have all the major asset and just $2m is for blowing surely you have no problem. The purpose of money is to buy comfort in the first place now you are saying if you have all the comfort

Let me also ask you suppose I am in US and I already have a property like Mar a lago, more in Manhattan and LA, then a private jet, yatch, boats, private jets, vacations and luxury now boom with 200m extra

An elite does not have to live in Ikoyi Lekki etc out of personal preference but his networth will show he can afford to live there comfortably, IBB, Dantata etc dont live in Ikoyi or Lekki but have enough money to buy entire streets in those highbrow areas

You argument is that $2m puts you among the elites in Nigeria and I say it doesnt because the assets that make you an elite cant be bought with $2m

raumdeuter:
This person you are talking about probably has enough money to buy multiple properties in prime areas of Lagos, he probably owns properties in those prime areas but choose to live in his home state. Are you saying this person that can dash out 100m, 200m to people is only operating on $2m

This your $2m elite, how much is the worth of his house he lives, How much do u think they spent on their numerous vehicles? How much do you think he spends on his gadgets, vacations and travels, his staff and running his house

I await answers to these questions first for us to proceed with how far the $2m will go

TemporaryHansel:
Btw, Raumdeuter, are you seriously saying living in Lagos is what makes someone "elite"? So if I’ve got $10m but decide to stay in PH or Enugu, I’m suddenly not elite? Does Arthur Eze live in Ikoyi? Let’ not be ridiculous.

raumdeuter:
What part of Lagos will this $2m big boy be living since he cannot live in Ikoyi, Banana Island, Asokoro and Lekki phase 1?
Are you actually called a Nigerian elite if you cant afford to live in these areas

You will be able to oppress people more surely but when the elites of Lagos dey do roll call, you will have to hide your face sha

BlueRayDick:
Don't be deceived $200m in the US gives u everything u want to get in terms of comfort, power, Prestige and class. It offers much more than $2m will ever do for u in Nigeria...

The only mistake u are making is thinking sycophants waiting on you because u have $2m is. Flex in Nigeria ; no it's not. You have an illusion about the show off culture of we Africans, so it makes u think the person with $2m is actually getting to live his best life in Nigeria. He's certainly not.

Do u even know much they sell lands/properties in places like Ikoyi and banana Island?

Attached is a property for sale in Banana Island ; remove Ur almighty $2m inside the price and tell me how much remain to live that royalty lifestyle u are craving

BlueRayDick:
None of what you've written here has proven that having $2m in Nigeria means u will be able to live the life people with $200m in the US are living.

Firstly I think u have a numbers problem and u don't seem to know the actual worth of the $198m difference in real life (whether in the US or Nigeria)


A whole lot of top elite retired and current footballers are not even worth up to $200m and they live far far better than anybody who has $2m in Nigeria. Before u do half of what you mentioned up there sef in this naija, that Ur $2m go Don vanish.

Do u know how much they sell private jet? Do you know much u will be paying for parking Ur private jet at the hanger in the airport? All those VIp treatment u are dreaming of sef, before u know it Ur $2m go Don vanish and the person with $200m go still dey ball even with the heavy taxes.

BlueRayDick:
How?

airmark:
You no see Dollar sign for the 2k? Why will I wait for a year because of his #2k?

Theflint1:
He's a full-blown cornvict, playing neutral just happens to be his self-appointed role in the cult. We have quite a few of them like that.

Roland17:
@A40,
Your boy paid like we predicted. Hopefully, this experience has sharpened (pun intended) his brain.

Chop am, no be poison!

airmark:
You didn't raise any point that's worthy of a response that I ignored.

airmark:
You saw when I posted that I wasn't impressed with the Insecurity but the other positives must never be pointed out, to be in your good books, right?
