[b]I recall as a kid, that a man in my neighbourhood then became popular for engaging in money-rituals, just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude; You wouldn't even buy that car for N50K today. I remember as a kid, my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbours' house. Today, a dish one tenth that size, delivers 5 times d value and can be found in almost every student's hostel rooms. What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V-Booth, 505 Cocaine; all over taken by the Toyota Camry, Honda discussions, Infinity, and d rest(  )....... VANITY !!A friend once declared drinks for the boys, just because he had just launched the Nokia Communicator for over a hundred grand in 2002. Today, that phone wud embarass the owner, and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone. What about the MTN sim-card that many people had to go extra miles, before they could purchase it for over N30K, today you will not even buy it @ N200. People are still making the most amazing sacrifices over the VAINEST of things.... Selling their bodies (runs), money-rituals, cyber-crimes, e.t.c; making enemies over worthless material things,But, 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 todays' "gold" is tomorrows' "copper"....look up 2 God 4 He changeth not, Even if all eternity comes to an end.[/b] 3 Likes 2 Shares |

But... Your profile pic. Have your iPhone and gold watch become tomorrow's copper yet?  In truth, we are all a little vain, even where we have few belongings but pride ourselves on that fact. But money rituals are ridiculous period. |
