For me, the difference between the rich and the poor exists only in the clumsiest figments of our imaginations. If I may ask, is there anything a rich man does that the so called poor man cannot do? For Example, if a rich shops at Shoprite, poor man will go to Afor Enyiogugu or Nkwo Lagwa, wetin dey for Sokoto also dey for Shokoto. If a rich man cruises in his Bentley or Stretch Limo, a poor man will also cruise in his Keke, no be the same fuel all of them de use? If after a hard days work, a rich man goes to his swimming pool to unwind, onye uwa will go to Onu ukwu Emeke or Imo River to cool off. If a rich man jets off in his private jet, a poor man only needs to get into his dreams and zoom of in any private jet of his choice, he can even fly in Air force One. If a rich man pops Champagne, poor man go pop palm wine and if na Hennessy rich man wan drink, poor man go enter kai kai levels. If rich man steps out in his expensive hand made Gucci, poor man will equally step out in his bend-dwon coat of many colours, after all, na the same thing all of them de cover. If a rich man builds a palatial castle of tiles and marble, a poor man will erect a modest mud house. Both get doors and windows. If a rich man eats cornflakes in the morning as breakfast, poor man go drink garri well garnished with palm kernel. Ask students about this garri thing. If a rich man becomes the president of Nigeria, a poor man will equally become the president of his town union or age grade. If Rich man gets sick and goes to the National Hospital at Abuja, poor man go enter bush for mgborogwu and mkpo akwukwo, the eziokwu bu ndu or Amah C Amah way. If a rich man sends his kids abroad on vacation, poor man will send his children to their maternal home, all of them na relocation. If a rich man gets a wife and calls his friends for a wedding, poor man will invite his friends for marriage. Wedding or marriage, you must eat rice whether agworoagwo or fried rice. If rich man mounts satellite dish to watch Real Madrid and Barcelona, poor man only needs to tune in to IBC or BCA, I de tells you, im go watch Heartland and Enyimba tire. If rich man eats at Jevinik, poor man will look for any available nwanyi be anyi and fill his stomach with akpu and ofe owgushi, even if na without. After all, if Jonathan who had no shoes can later become our president, only God knows the kind of food he ate then. If rich man send im children to UNILAG, at least poor man go send im pikin dem to LASU. If rich man pikin enter UNN, ALVAN dey there for poor man pikin and if na FUTO rich man pikin wan go, poor man pikin go rush to NEKEDE. Make I still continue? Do you still believe theres something a rich man can do that a poor man cannot do? Asi na onye luru nwanyi kporo nwuye ya baa, onye na alubeghii akporo anwuru (snuff) baa maka na ihe ana akpo akpo wu otu. The best part of it all is that finally, both rich man and poor man will collide on facebook as friends. There is this story of a very rich international business woman who stopped her state of the art SUV at a filling station to buy fuel. After filling her tank, a disheveled, tattered, unkempt and hungry looking beggar came to the woman begging for alms. The woman gave him some lose change and as she meant to drive off, she looked at the man closely and said, Looks like I know you from somewhere and the man replied, Yes maam. I recognized you immediately I saw you. We are friends on facebook. I de tells you, nothing in this world is worth dying for!
