FOOD FOR THOUGHT I Recall as a kid that a man in my Neighborhood became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80s edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldnt buy that car for N40,000 today. I Remember as a kid, my whole street converged to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbors house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student hostel room. What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V booth, 505 cocaine, all overtaken by Camry,Honda discussions and Infinity? .... Vanity. A friend declared drinks for the boys because he just launched the Nokia Communicator for over a N100,000 in 2002. Today that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone. What about the MTN sim card that many people went extra miles before dey bought it for over N30,000? Today, you will not buy it at N200. People are still making the most amazing sacrifices over the vainest of things, make enemies over worthless material things. 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.... LIKE AND SHARE :::If you arent a fan yet,click & like Africans WE Proudly ARE
