@ Topic:

most of us here r just being hypocritical and i appreciate dat it's due 2 d socio-economic environment we find ourselves in. I @ d same time commend those who've tried 2 be sincere about their own hopes and aspirations cos the gospel truth is that if some of us in 9ja had half of wat Diddy has, our kids will even obstruct traffic on our roads with too much effizy n hype and that's a fact. let's not condemn someone when u ain't in that person's shoes. which one of us after having gone thru all d hell 9ja has sentenced us 2 and one day makes it big time will want his offspring 2 lack anything. i for one won't do that. let's not be blinded by hate cos poverty is not just a thing of the pocket but also a thing of the mind.

talking of success, it has been proven that 80% of hip-hop artists have IQ's dat top the chart. we all say dey didn't go 2 skool and all dat but have u ever tried 2 pay attention 2 their lyrics? u'ld be surprised @ how much they know abt their government, politics, religion, social and even economic matters. do u know dat d average hip-hop artist is in command of their vocabs and more syllables than our english profs hence d ability 2 rhyme. if u think rhyming is easy then try it. and when d money starts rolling in, they try 2 take demselves away 4rm wat they grew wit viz drugs n thugging and set up bizness empires consisting of clothing labels, colognes, tv shows, hotel chains and so on and so forth. if dey were as we perceived them as in "good for nuttin thugs" how come they culd have such dreams and work 2wards actualizing it? here in 9ja most Yboys r in skool and graduating with degrees but whenever dey make lil dime it goes in sleepin in hotels while their folks remain in face-me-i-face-u, they buy cars and start living from the trunk of their vehicles. some go as far as gettin their own cribs n turning it in2 a way-station 4 d ladies. all these culd seem cool but which one has actually invested and started something dat he will one day point @ and say "yeah, dats all me." but we say we are better of cos we went 2 school. now am not gonna go on dat issue cos d list of names dat r holding up d economy of the U.S. of A witout a B.SC 2 their names is quite endless.

so my dears let's not hate d player nor the game in this instance but the playing field in which we find ourselves and dat's 9ja. lotsa peeps have likened the lavishing 2 d case of Muttalab, well i wan't u guys 2 knw dat cos Farouk went bonkers doesn't indicate dat all rich kids will definitely go bonkers. farouk happens 2 be dat 1 in a million we all talk abt and people will keep spending dough on their kids even after farouk.

i can't wait 2 see wat 50 cent, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne will do for their own kids when d time is right. but more especially i can't begin 2 fathom what i'll do for my own kids if i happened 2 be in their shoes. don't worry am working towards getting there and first step is meeting d peeps who makes d shoes 4 these dudes cos i really gotta be in their shoes asap.

WORD!!! The best reply I have got on Nairaland.

I hope Yahoo boys could read this, and may be can wake them up from their foolishness.

@ Contributors: So , if someone does not bag a degree, that person is a dimwith,ain't it? E pass the lectures and the exams wey u dey do while you were in College/University? As far as I am concerned P.Diddy can employ thousands of Graduates. If the guy is in Nigeria, do you know what he will be controlling? This guy has got over 700 million Dollars,so what is 350,000 to him? C'mon you can do better than that for your kids! Don't be hating!!

san26dy:

That's just waste of money. that's what illiteracy does to you. I don't see the reason why he should spend such an amount of money on a little boy just for a birthday gift!!! so what does he want us to do- Clap for him or jump for joy?? Whatever!!

George_D:

are we even sure the boy belongs to him? someone better tell him to go and do a dna test
before all this showboating. who knows? he might just be lavishing money on another man's son!

SEFAGO:

The problem is not with him spending that type of money on his child. Its about what impact would have on his son's psyche. How do you expect his son to view money and hardwork if the son is getting $360k maybacj? Do you think his son will try and be an engineer vs. a hiphop mogul? Agreed engineers are poor, but what i am trying to say is that his son's respect for hardwork would be diminishing by the minute since he can depend on his father for money.
