Now That The Samsung S8 Is Here

The Samsung S8 has now being unveiled and is subsequently being released into the general market at a starting price of $720 or N270,000... whew! Maybe chicken change to some people, but in a country whose minimum wage is $48 or N18,000, this is huge.
Why am I delving into all these figures this hot afternoon? It’s because I'm simply pissed at the greed and insatiable thirst of many Nigerians to spend money that most of them don’t even have, these ones give a demeanor of tech savviness, this has also being proven to be a fake majority of the time. The ills being perpetuated in our society today because of these ever-evolving craze for material things is now a cause for concern, from ladies sleeping around with their grandfather's agemates to young men joining armed robbery gangs to perpetrate mind-boggling crimes…… but all this craze for what please? So the clique will see them as the coolest or most fly dude/chic around? So the social status will be upgraded? I just laugh in Swahili…… who cares what phone the next person is even using, how does it change the price of a cup of gari, please?
The very annoying thing about all this fake lifestyle is that most of this folks won't even utilize 20% of the capacity of these phones. When I see some of these peeps trying to wade there way through all the new functions and upgrades it seems more like a chore than anything else, they eventually end up settling for the everyday functions that a phone of N30,000 can carry out… Just Sad.
But then I feel there are underlying factors to this sort of wasteful behavior, I feel some of them include but not limited to – 1. Low Self-esteem 2. Lack of focus 3. Access to cash not rightfully earned and 4. Misplacement of priorities among a host of others.

I believe there needs to be an attitudinal shift in the psyche of both young and old, to help rid this nation of excessive demand for imported products, help reduce the frequency and rampancy of social vices and finally to help steer our youth to spending their resources on career building and development.

This blog is created to change this mindset of people having just a passing interest in eating right and keeping fit... this journey will be a very interesting one. Ejiga
