There’s a thing I’ve noticed about Nigerians, it’s more important to look and act wealthy than to actually be wealthy. A culture that destroys things.

Businesses would rather do things that make them look rich than actually do things that make them earn real money. Same goes for people.

Such is the case of Nigerian clubs. You travel and enjoy yourself across the world and in Africa. Clubs just focus on ID to be sure people are above 18. Open access, spend your money and go home. Nigerian clubs would lock their gates on boys with 10k, 20k, 50k; The REAL customers

This has to be the only place where people want to make money so they can oppress the next person and not because being wealthy is a good thing and you can enjoy your money. I may be wrong though.

When you go to a club outside Nigeria, it’s not that difficult to recognize a Nigerians and their tables. Spending money we have to impress people who don’t see us.

We named an ordinary generator “I pass my neighbour”, a bag “Ghana must go”. Like having a generator is not about you enjoying electricity, it’s about oppressing the neighbour. That’s a pointer.

I feel Nigeria is where it is today because of the same culture. Act wealthy rather than work hard to be wealthy.

Hello..... Your country is VERY poor. Your country is not a rich country with bad leaders, it is a poor country with bad leaders. Let’s swallow that.
