Sister u dnt understand marriage.. in marriage, women cook all the time.. NEPA comes in 40k monthly, 12.5 kG gas finishes by 1 ND half month..

Remember gotv sub oo, data for the home etc.. expenses is too much..

Yes we use washing machine ND mini oven plus yam pounder which is scarcely used..

It's too much, income is not increasing.. I can't save for children future .. upon we use family health insurance oo

That is the issue majority of families are facing now.

Just try to make her reason with you, it is not easy for a woman who have been used to gas cooker or hot plate to start using charcoal. Besides, Charcoal is also expensive and risky, it doesn't worth the stress.

All you need to do is to cut down some expenses from other aspect. Why are you still using Gotv when you can simply watch latest movies and cartons for the kids through a flash drive or simply connect to YouTube. Stop buying data for the home, buy data only for your self, let your wife buy hers too. You can share with them when it absolutely necessary and remove them immediately. Also, is your wife stay at home mum who have time to cook all the time. Cooking should done twice daily, and the evening one should be very light and short.

By now, every man should understand that this is not the time to over pampering anyone.

Running away wil make the situation complex and indicting for you, people wil think u r responsible for her death, you should have reported the matter at the police station even if u wil be detained

It is a very tough situation any man can be, if he stay, with no witnesses from the girl side at last moment, he would be taking as a murderer, and police will make him spend his last card before moving him to the prison. He may spend nothing less than 5 years there and may eventually sentence if no strong evidences are presented in court.

He might initially had an intention to stay but got advise from people to run away.

True, corruption and mismanagement are a huge part of the problem, and yes, the money stolen could transform our schools, hospitals, and social security overnight. But let’s be honest — the issue isn’t only with the leaders. We, as citizens, also play a role.

Even in countries where citizens enjoy better services, corruption exists among politicians. The difference is how citizens respond. They demand accountability, protest when leaders steal or fail, monitor budgets, vote wisely, and refuse to accept excuses. Accountability becomes a lifestyle, not just a complaint on social media.

So my question to us as Nigerians is: Are we ready to do the hard work to hold power accountable? Are we ready to refuse bribes, demand transparency, and stay persistent even when the system resists? Until we match our leaders’ audacity for self-interest with our own audacity for civic responsibility, the cycle of suffering will continue.

The leaders may steal, but if we never rise to demand better, nothing changes. It’s not hopeless — it’s a challenge, and it starts with us.

Let me just sum up everything, you can't give what you don't have. The masses are equally corrupt the different between our leaders and rest of us is opportunities. It is what I have see all over the place I have been to. Every single Nigerian only care about opportunity and not accountability.

As for developed countries you mentioned there were corruption too, I can categorically tell you it is not the same like ours. They can be currupt to manipulate the system but not outrightly stealing of commonwealth that will halt development of their countries. If they were that corrupt as you said, they won't be called developed world today.

To free Nigeria from corruption is not a decade job, it is what must be start now from lowest and middle class who are the majority. Once reason to steal are remove from them, we will begin to have leaders whose minds have been configured not to have interest in stealing.

Benefit is what is killing U.K. Ask your friends and family in U.K. The citizens there refuse to work because government keeps giving them free money. Even the Bible says that a Lazy man should not eat

The UK issue is like a rich man who hire a domestic staffs and not allow his children to do anything. If there is work for them, and there is no one to do it except them, I don't think they will reduce to do it since government can only pay them if they were unable to secure a job.

So, the blame still go to the government and not their lazy citizens.

I get the frustration—throwing more money at the government won’t magically solve Nigeria’s problems if institutions are weak and corruption is rampant. But the real issue isn’t the amount of taxes; it’s whether we have systems that actually work. Countries that provide reliable services don’t just collect money—they build accountability, transparency, and trust over time.

The harder question is for us as citizens: are we ready to act like taxpayers who demand services and accountability, or will we continue to defend our tribesmen, political godfathers, and ‘big men’ even when they fail us? Real progress won’t come until we choose institutions over personalities and the public good over ethnic or personal loyalty.

You still don't get the points, institutions don't create itself, it is the people that decide to make the institutions works. If those in position of authority are not ready to make the institutions work, you can only rant from now till eternity and nothing would change.

Nigeria and other developing black Africans has only one hindrance to be free from corruption and underdevelopment.

Until Africans focus entirely on the physiological needs of their citizens, we will remain at the bottom of the ladder in the world till the rest of time. This is the fundamental causes of corruption, and until we are able to remove reasons to steal, all of us including me and you will steal if giving opportunity, because I will first think about my future and that of my generation in a society where no one will care about you.

1. Food should be the cheapest thing a man should worry about. It should be made in such a way that even those in abject poverty can comfortably eat all round nutritious foods.

2. Children under the age of 18 must be 100% taking care of by the government.

3. Elderly persons who are over 65yrs should be the responsibility of the government 100%.

4. Social security must be a must by paying stipend to unemployed people until they find jobs.

5. The lowest entry onto business world should be "limited liability" arrangements. Sole business apart from petty or mid range trading should be abolish. Nigerians must be made to do big business by partnership or buying of companies shares.

6. Erection of structure or purchasing of land by individual should be totally forbidden. Government in collaboration with private investors should be in charge of housing. You can only buy or take a mortgage.

The reality is that, if I know that government will take care of me when i get old, if I know that if I have approve number of children, government will take care of them or if I know that whenever I lost my job or source of income, I will still get assistance from government, likewise if I know that I can't be allow to buy properties with stole money, I will think twice before I steal public fund.

Ok, tell me what Malami and others used their stole money to do, is it not properties?

Ihaveleftnaija:
The problem is not that Nigeria does not have money, but how the money is managed. Corruption and weak institutions have made it hard for citizens to feel any real benefits.

Another question we should ask is whether Nigerians are ready to pay higher taxes if we truly want government benefits. These things are not free anywhere.

Protests should not be about tribe or religion, but about accountability and strong institutions. Are we ready to be selfless and stop putting big men and powerful groups ahead of the poor and middle class? These things matter too.

We should also not just envy or copy what works in other countries, but also copy how those systems are built and sustained over time.

Don't be deceive by the insinuation that we need to pay more tax to get benefits from the government, I can bet it with anything that even if you pay 80% of your income to these set of leaders/politicians, you can never see its impact in the society. More money or tax means more money to waste by the government.

Evilthoughts:
Abeg I dey ask because I no understand. Nigeria get oil and resources, but citizens no dey see any real benefit. Other African countries dey support their people, but for Naija na suffer we dey see everywhere.
Why e be like this?

The sole reason is corruption and lack of patriotism from Nigerians and their leaders.

In a society where each politician stole billions in Naira and Dollar, you should not expect any meaningful development. The money stole and spent irrationally by politicians and government is more than enough for free education upto university level and free medical care for all citizens.

Trillions of naira being embezzled at NNPC alone each year can foot a bill for social security for all unemployed citizens during the same year. Nigeria is hopelessly need help, and the unfortunate part of the mess is the fact that we masses are not different to them when giving the chance to rule.

QuinQQ:
No mind am. If voodoo attracted wealthy men all these billionaires will be married to Babalawo daughters!

How could their voodoo attract billionaires when they are not in the same circle? To be at the spot light or near a place billionaires roams to get attention, you have to be a rich girl or billionaire daughter yourself.

Voodoo to attract rich men works when they have encounter with them. If Dangote has encounter with those diabolic girls, he might be their biggest cash out ever.

SmartPolician:
Politically, Wike is technically finished. That's why he abandons governance in Abuja to get involved in Rivers politics - unlike his Rivers State, there's no guarantee he can rig elections in Abuja

I will partially agree with you, he really cross the red line as mentioned by Bwala.

1. He should not have publicly warn APC central cacus to stay clear of APC matter in his state when he is not their registered member.

2. He should not have told the lawmakers to initiate impeachment process on governor.

Wike want to kill two birds with a stone, he made a bigger mistake by not defecting to the APC before Fubara. He also made a big mistake by signing an agreement that Fubara should not go the second term, who in his right sense does that. Is he the people of River state. Did he expect Funara to just accept that stupid agreement when he has clear channel in APC to achieve that. Presidency and APC are not stupid, they know if they reject Fubara to join them, he will definitely join ADC and use incumbent power to gain more votes for opposition especially if Peter Obi is on the ballot. They also understand that Fubara can equally do what Wike did for them in the last election more effectively now with full federal support.

The only hope for Wike now if he is wise is to concentrate at the central and be friend with them. He will do himself a big favour by leaving River politic entirely and establish his influence in Abuja. He can rebuild PDP and put forward his candidate to contest against Fubara, or defect to APC before 2031 and use his mighty influence to back another loyal candidate in Rivers state.

Putindbutt:
Nigeria is going to the World Cup, shame on haters. We saw how DR Congo were exposed at the AFCON, Nigeria is far superior in every area. We are going to be a better representative for the African continent. Forget about a sick DR that can't cure himself. God bless Nigeria.

Let assume Dr. Congo is disqualified, how sure are you that Supre eagle will beat Jamaica or New Caledonia?

Democracy in reality is not a good system of government. It is an hindrance to continuous development especially in developing societies. It is an avenue for selected few to dominate and manage the resources by their own selfish interests. It is an expensive system that easily allow mediocrity, oppression and unapologetic sentiments.

It is no surprise that only the third world countries, particularly in Africa that are still practicing full form of democracy as highlighted in the textbook..

ChybuzzDD:
Give me a verifiable example of anyone whose parents cursed and he became useless as a result of that, and never succeeded even where his mates succeeded.

All these are just fvcking hearsay and superstitious beliefs being passed around from generations to generations, even when there's no evidence to support them.

It is not a hearsay or superstitions, you made a covenant with your mother the day she pour that blood on you during birth. I don't know about father but mother curse is so brutal especially if she say it from the deepest part of her pains.

Agozskey:
This is long...
My father died in 2017, I was 17years old and from that point, my life changed completely. I became the one carrying the responsibility of this family far earlier than I should have.
When it was time for me to go to school, my late father’s family agreed to sponsor my education. Instead of supporting it, my mother blocked it completely. Because of the hatred she had for my father and his family, she rejected their help and continued to paint my father in a bad light even after his death. That decision alone altered the course of my life.
Instead of school, she pushed me into serving an oga and learning sales against my will. I stayed there for about two years, and it did not work out. When I came back, I was 20 years old, already behind my mates.
From there, I started working in factories, struggling to earn money and bring it home. I denied myself basic things I didn’t buy clothes, didn’t enjoy my youth everything went into the house. At some point, she even wanted to be holding my salary, controlling it completely.
Eventually, I found a place where I started making a reasonable amount of money. At the time, where we were living was terrible, so with the little progress I made, I paid rent for a room-and-parlour apartment, bought furniture, bought her a big bed, bought a TV, and tried to give the family a better standard of living.
I was 22 years old, doing all of this.
I told my mother I wanted to save money and set myself up properly so I wouldn’t depend on one source of income forever. Instead of support, she insisted that I must “settle her” first before thinking about my future.
When I told her I wanted to leave the house to seek greener pastures, she refused unless I gave her money. Eventually, I counted ₦300,000 and gave it to her to start a business.
Mind you, at this point:
I was handling feeding
rent
clothing
and most household expenses
My brother was contributing nothing, and I never complained or pressured anyone. I carried everything alone.
Later, I lost my job and entered a broke phase again. I was still managing to make money online without structure, and we survived partly on the business I opened for her. That business eventually crashed, and as usual, she took no accountability for it.
After that, she went fully into farming. I clearly told her I hate farming and begged her not to involve me in it. Despite that, she kept forcing me, threatening that if I didn’t help, I would not eat from the farm produce.
This hurt me deeply, because when I was the one providing, I never once threatened my family with hunger.
THE INCIDENT THAT LED TO EVERYTHING
Today, she was pounding fufu. I was not in the mood and clearly told her I didn’t want to pound. I said she should find another means and I would help in other ways but pounding was a firm no.
Her response was that I would not eat from the food.
I stepped out to hustle for money as usual and came back later to eat. When I got to the kitchen, my mother stopped me from eating. At that point, everything inside me snapped. I told her that if I would not eat, then nobody would eat.
In anger and frustration built over years, I carried the pot of soup and threw it away.
She immediately started laying curses on me calling me a cursed child, saying I would never make it in life despite the fact that I have carried her and this family since my father died.
After struggling over the pot, she ran outside, called neighbors, and threatened to have me arrested. She told everyone I was wicked and cursed. As usual, it was me against her and the world. The neighbors only saw an angry son, not the years of sacrifice behind it.
She openly said she no longer wants anything to do with me.
The painful irony is this:
I am broke today largely because she has always made decisions for my life, blocked opportunities, and drained what little progress I made. My brother, who obeys everything she says, is also suffering silently but cannot speak.
HOW I FEEL NOW
I am exhausted.
I feel used, manipulated, and painted as a villain.
I feel like the more I sacrifice, the more control is taken from me.
I am fed up.
I don’t feel like I have a mother in this situation I feel like I have an opponent.

I wont judge or take side until I hear her side of the story.

From your narratives, she might hate some things about your late father and his family but trust me, she has your interest at heart. A mother that could take up farming just for you to eat is not lazy but disciplinary woman. A woman who doesn't leave you guys and follow another man is not wicked but probably frustrated by the current situation you guys were in.

Under no circumstances or provocations you should've thrown away a soup your mum laboured so much to cook. This says alot about your antecedents, regards and behaviour at home or to your mother. That you use to feed her at some point doesn't mean anything, do you know much she has spent on you before you became an adult capable to work. Do you know how much of sleepless night she had gone through because of you? You even acknowledged you were managing with the business you set for her when you got broke, that means you also benefited from it before it folded up.

Go to the market, buy all the soup ingredients and kneel down to beg that woman for forgiveness. Her forgiveness matter a lot for your future because you has done what God frown at to your mother. A woman suffer in pain to find money to cook her soup, only for you to angrily poured it away? That is the most heartless thing a son can ever do to his parents.

OverCalculating:
Obasa was impeached by Lagos House of Assembly, he showed himself as the new Jagaban of Lagos by coming back with force to possess his lost possession. Also, strategically he enforced his son as the Chairman of a local government in Agege. In all these GAC, APC leadership or Oga Tinubu couldn't do anything...so why will anyone do anything if Tinubu wants Seyi to become the governor of Lagos state. Una go just make noise and clamour, it won't hold any water. You go explain tire

A push for Ambode who only have one term to spend is a strategy by Tinubu to bring the young man in 2031. It will be a premature attempt to nominate him in 2027 as such step could cause a serious set back for his father at the polls.

Kaczynski:
Yes for crypto like doge etc not bitcoin


Thats like saying eth pumps anytime vitalik tweet something about it.

Go and acquire more knowledge son, seem you still have a long way to go. Google FUD in crypto to start with.

Have a nice weekend.

Kaczynski:
that a series of 280 character brain farts from elon musk bitcoin is to fundamentally misunderstand what bitcoin is. it’s like saying a toddler throwing a tantrum in the backseat affects the orbital velocity of the earth.

you’re confusing price a metric used by panicked low IQ traders to measure their own greed and fear with value. to attribute the rise/fall of a decentralized asset to one man’s feed is a form of digital paganism. you’re looking at a lightning strike and inventing a god to explain it because you’re too lazy to study the meteorology of the global economy.

when tesla bought lots of bitcoin, that was a transaction. transactions affect liquidity. the tweets about the transactions are just marketing for the illiterate.

He is telling you the truth, Bitcoin and other crypto assets can be influenced by proclamations by big players or individuals. Infact, crypto dynamism are mostly depends on happenings around the world particularly in USA.

I could remember the day CZ said he had added ASTER to his portfolio, the coin started pumping hard almost immediately.

SmartPolician:
You raised a cogent point, but you don't seem to understand how cultural disparities alter the very foundation of this country.

Let's look at growth and development, for instance. The Muslim north focuses on building a religious society as their definition of growth and development. That's why they expend millions of dollars of state funds on religious visits to Mecca, building new mosques and refurbishing mosques.

In Christian south, people focus on western education, sports and personal enterprises as ways of lifting themselves out of poverty and attaining growth and development.

The implication of this divergent views towards growth and development is that people who refused to embrace education as a way of lifting themselves out of poverty now take to institutionalised alms begging and have become a national burden. This glaringly obvious difference will continue to hurt Nigeria for a long time.

Already addressed that in No. 8 of my 10 points.

North too can take good care of their people and flourish as well if true federalism is instituted. The reasons North become lazy or undeveloped is because of cheap allocations they receive from oil from the South. With true federalism, there won't be anyone to blame for their woes, and that will ginger them to think out of box and empower their people. The competitions would be so glaring that no region or zone would want to be left behind.

The reality is that, you cant talk about development withiout first addressing the social aspect of the society. The largest share of our problems are embedded in our cultures and traditions, which promote greed, unapologetic corruption and individual tendency to dominate others.

People forget that their leaders are reflections of their society, they were once private citizens like the messes. Whatever they are doing there, you can actually do the same or even worse because that is how society molded us. In a society where the future is not certain, people will steal enough at any giving opportunity to secure their future and their generations to come. Until we remove the reason to steal or tendency to accumulate wealth, Nigeria may never progress in centuries to come.

1. Take care of children between 0-18 years of age, including their education and montky stipend.

2. Take care of elders over 65 years including their medications, monthly allowance and burials.

3. Pay unemployment allowance until people find jobs.

4. Having more than 2 children should be a crime that attract jail term.

5. Individual ownership of properties should be restricted to a larger extent.

6. Every citizen earning income must pay a certain percentage according to their incomes as tax.

7. Food should the least worries of an average citizen. Civil organisations, religions, foreign aids, philanthropists, etc should be encouraged to donate solely to Foods bank where people who needed it can get it free.

8. The country must embrace a true federalism along with ethnic nationalities.

9. Leaders should emerge through ranking from civil service and not through democracy.

10. Leadership should be seen as nothing other than service to humanity, and there must be transparency in carrying out these duties.

If we can manage do the above, everything will change for good within a decade.

ReekyMass:
Hi, Guys!

Sincerely, I'm a bit confused here. My younger brother, the last born of the family wants to come over to the city to live with me.

My kid bro just graduated from secondary sch last year July. He is actually my step brother, as my mum had to remarry a year later after the passing of my dad many years ago. This brother is the only child my mum has for the Man.

The man is a retired state govt teacher, my mum is his second wife. He's not being responsible over the years and this has caused lots of issues between himself and my mum. Sometimes, if not most times, I'll always have to step in to broker peace between them.

My mum abandoned us to marry this man. At some point she even had to send my blood sister away from the man's house. My kid sister was just four years and needed the presence of a mother in her life, but since my mum so much cherished her new husband at the time, she said that my kid sister wouldn't live with her. So she had to send my sister to stay with our grandma(maternal). I felt so sad about this. Today same sister is married with two kids.

My mum never supported any of us through sch. We are four, plus this step brother of mine, five in total. As a matter of fact, while I was leaving for the city after the completion of my university education, she was nowhere to be found because I was in some financial mess at the time and I needed her to support me financially so I can go to city to hussle. I also wanted her to give me that motherly blessings and pray for my success as I embark on the journey for success. But she was nowhere to be found.

I managed to source for funds and left the village for the city. I'm not four years here. I send her money almost every week. I also send her mother(my grandma) money and ensure I take good care of her since she's the only grandparent I have now.

There's almost no time I speak with my mum that she doesn't come up with one financial complaint or the other. Sometimes I avoid her calls for weeks. It's not like I'm doing well here in the city, but I keep meeting her needs. I don't complain to her even when I'm down. I already know she can't help me, so what's the point complaining?. She can have money Hidden somewhere while you're in dire need of it, but she won't tell or give u. She can be doing business and making money secretly without telling you. Sometimes I only get to hear about such businesses from outsiders. She does this so we wouldn't ask her for any help. She never bought us even a notebook or Pen while we were in sch.

Now she wants my kid Bro to come live with me. Living with me isn't a problem. But my mum already spoilt my step brother. He was so pampered as a child and he often disrespects my mum. They asked him to learn Barbing. After sch, he would go there and return in the evenings. But this boy wasn't consistent. At some point, he even stopped. Our mum instructed him to go back and continue, but he refused. His father is so weak and can't discipline him. Four years back, same brother went to live with my immediate younger brother in Lagos and after two weeks he said he wants to go back to the village just like that.

I want him to further his studies but I don't have the resources yet. I want his father to take up that responsibility first, while I also support.
He knows I'm very strict and he can't be disrespectful to me. But my mum already corrupted him. If he comes and I start to discipline and disciple him, it would look like I'm antagonizing him because he's my step brother.

Again, and most importantly, I'm not working now, I'm just managing myself, hustling here and there just to survive. Sometimes I don't even get what to eat. I mange myself. Due to this, I wouldn't want to add another burden to myself. He eats a lot and if he comes here, it will now look like I'm starving him. My mum knows I'm just managing my life. I asked him to be a bit more patient and stay back in the village till I get something tangible to do, so I can take care of him when he comes to town, but he's insisting that he's already tired of staying in the village.

Considering what he did when he visited my immediate younger brother the other time, he wouldn't be able to go back there again.

I don't think you are serious person in this life, you are broke and struggling to even feed yourself, yet you are contemplating on bringing a grown up boy to join you in this condition?

You should only bring him if you have a job for him or you are capable of feeding and providing his needs.

Orlandoo:
I agree with you. It wasn't much like this before 2015 when the majority can still afford basic things of life. Nowadays, hunger has made people sell their birthright because of pot of porridge.

Exactly, even if you are poor, everyone, including your rich family members and friends will respect you if you don't have any reason to ask them for help. Once you start asking people for help, you becomes element of ridiculous in their eyes.

Developed countries had forseen this disparity centuries ago, reason they make sure that vulnerable people ( children, elders, unemployed people, people with disabilities, etc) in their societies must be taking care of. The dumb Africans, especially Nigerians will rather embezzled the allocation meant for the poor, so that the same poor will crawl at their feets to beg for crumbs.

Orlandoo:
I see this happening a lot in Igbo families. Your family members don't care how you made the money so far you are 'representing'.

Not only Igbos, it happens everywhere. Money is the back bone of everything in life. With Money, you don't necessarily have to be nice to your family members, even if you treat them like trash, they will still relate well with you and pick you over the poor ones.

Our society should be build in such a way that even the poor people will have privilege of taking care of their basic needs withiout needing to beg anyone for crumbs. People should also be educated to have fewers children they can easily carter for.

Putindbutt:
If giving such funds to victims who lost lives and properties was reckless, then pray that such incident happens to you and your family.

And if Govt didn't do, it's same unfortunate people that would still pick on Govt for not intervening.

If the Governor pocketed the money and was later exposed, it has only discredited his reputation. His Presidential ambition has already taken a hit.

Having seen the effect of the blast, 5Bn is more than enough to settle the victims.

30Bn they gave him looks like political settlement or reckless spending on the part of federal government.

Putindbutt:
If you're envious of the 30billion for Oyo victims, then I advice you to go and blast your legs off or pray that such an unfortunate incident happens to you, so that Govt can give such money to your family to take care of you. Geddifok out of my face.

Lolz, you are beyond redemption if you don't see anything wrong with that reckless spending of tax payer money.

30Bn for how many houses and properties? Anyway the guy man already carried them handicap by keeping it for personal use.

With this kind of leaders and the masses, I fear Nigeria may remain underdeveloped till thy kingdom come.

Putindbutt:
But ignorant wailers and Bitter Obidients are crying about the tax reforms that will further strengthen the Education sector. The problem with these wailers is that they hardly read, do their own findings or read policy documents. They simply log onto social media, pick up whatever narratives that suit them and start repeating it WITHOUT THINKING AND VERIFYING.

Have you seen ASUU come out to condemn the tax laws?. Sensible people are only laughing at the ignorant mobs crying about the tax laws they know absolutely nothing about. Poor people crying over a policy that will benefit the poor.

That was how they were also misleading the public that TETFUND will be eliminated under the new tax law. All manner of lies and misinformation against the tax law. Indeed, politics has exposed the level of HighQ of an average Nigerian.

Are you indeed rejoicing over this shameful of a thing?

The same government that gave Gov. Makinde a hooping 30Bn as intervention fund for the victims of bomb plast in Oyo state? The same country that ordinary governor budgeted over 60Bn to renovate government House?

Politicians has finished this country patapata.

43Ronin:
Why naija dey defend like b**ch? These morocco guys are not so good, mali played them hands down na

After seeing what they did in last edition final against the host Ivory Coast, I wonder what anyone expect from them. Eagles are always psychologically poor against the host nations. They lack confidence and wills to face the host.

Watch this match with free mind, desist from watching it if you have HBP or related heart diseases.

Eagles are known to be coward against host nations, don't be surprise to see them defending all though tonight. If they place well and beat Morocco, they can win the cup.

Senegal coach is very smart, once his player get a yellow card, he remove them straight away.

Arkmanbuddy:
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.

If that is the case, then how do you define a poor man, and how do you define a rich man.

How do you define the spending capacity of a man?

How do you know or feel that it is only a wealthy men that buy asset?

Arkmanbuddy:
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!

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?

Arkmanbuddy:
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?
