“I recall mum telling me about a man in my Neighborhood who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80’s edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldn’t buy that car for 50k today.

I remember as a kid, my whole street converged to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbor’s house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student hostel room.

What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V booth, 505, all overtaken by Honda,Camry,Range Rover,and Infinity? …. Vanity.

A friend declared drinks for the boys because he just launched the Nokia Communicator for over a hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone. What about the MTN sim card that many people went extra miles before? they bought it for over 30k, today u will not buy it at N200.

People are still making the most amazing sacrifices over the ‘vainest’ of things, make enemies over worthless material things. What can I Say? Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what becomes of it tomorrow.

Slow down with the sense of attachment and blind pursuit of things, for today’s ‘gold’ is tomorrow’s ‘copper’
Yes Its Good To Have Money…..But please lets take it easy because even me i don tire sef.”….
