I recall my uncle telling me about a man in my Neighborhood who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldn't buy that car for N50,000 today.
I remember as a kid, my whole street converged to watch a truck deliverd a very large satellite dish to my neighbor's 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, Infinity...
Vanity!!!
A friend declared drinks for the boys because he just launched the Nokia Communicator for over a hundred grand in 2002. Today, that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone.
What about d MTN sim card that many people went extra miles before they bought it for over 30k, today you will not buy it at N150.
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.
