It is often wrong to judge people as stingy,they work hard for their money and do not owe anyone. One thing a a lot of people do not understand in Nigeria is some people like their munificence to be a private matter. They do not make a show of GIVING and also CHOOSE who to give to. The fact that a person does not give in your sight or to whom YOU think he should give does not make him stingy. I Know a guy who works in the UK and travels to his village every single year. He is not rich and does not even have a car although that is out of need.Anyway he has over the years given computers and books and furniture to the local school and I even found out he sponsors at least one school child. Yet all his family class him as "STINGY" because he does not give their lazy asses money. Only God can judge who is stingy. For me there is no class in making public display of "dashing" money or giving money to beer parloor/"Tuaale" crowds but that is the Naija mentality and so people like Tinubu and Fayose are considered generous. I will not like to be in a position where anyone is dashing me money there is no dignity in that. What is of value is helping people get education and or jobs. Let us stop this beggar mentality. Money is not a toy, personally I do not believe in gifting money to able bodied men for NO REASON not even my children. They must do something in return for it. A destitute or disabled person,orphaned children etc is another matter but giving money to such should be a very private thing in my view

Different days,they were keeping it traditional on his birthday,people were eating Ofada rice with aligator pepper on leaves instead of plates,but normal days,he can use glass

He's dead now,if he had thrown some money into charity,maybe that could be helpful now that he's in his grave,yes,he accumulated enough wealth,but the most he'll be buried in is a tuxedo that's probably rotten now,the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet ain't saying that and if they get involved in charity publicly,its to inspire not only the rich but also the comfy to do the same

On one hand, I was only catching fun; on the other, my words were inspired by people's perception...I don't understand why you're trying to make big something so simple!
And I even spoke about the effect of their exposure to Europeans which must have rubbed off on the giving 'style' (openly or secretly or none at all), based on the parameters you listed.
If you feel offended, I'm sorry. Please, do accept my apologies.
