Remember the child of whom you are💀

You think I don’t have money, oh my opponent, you see you’re deceived!!

What’s up guy? Did you know?

“Studies show that people who feel the need to flaunt their wealth are often compensating for insecurity or a lack of fulfillment.”

Walk with me?

Now, imagine this playing out in the chaotic world of a Nigerian university. That’s the gist today. Let me break it down for you.

The Scene

It’s a Monday morning. The lecture hall is packed, students sweating through their shirts because of NEPA’s usual antics. Suddenly, a car horn blares outside, enter the campus rich kid. Gucci shoes, Louis Vuitton bag, and shades that cost more than the entire semester’s school fees. Late, as usual. But who cares? It’s not like they came to learn anyway. 😏

Okay okay, maybe these scenes only play out in old Nollywood movies but here’s the thing: money talks, but on campus, it screams. From flashy gadgets to popping bottles at weekend parties, the rich kids make sure everyone knows they’re different. It’s giving main character energy, but sometimes it’s just too much.

Why So Loud?

Let’s pause and ask: why the noise?

Validation Cravings:

The louder the flex, the deeper the need to be seen. Maybe it’s insecurity or just wanting to prove something.

Campus Politics:
In an environment where status matters, being the rich kid automatically gives you clout.

The Social Media Effect:

Let’s not pretend, a lot of the noise is for Instagram. From “soft life” captions to some tough guy or fake deep motivational quotes, it’s all curated for the likes and comments.

Class Divide:

On campus, being wealthy automatically places you in a different league. Flexing isn’t just about fun; it’s about drawing the line between "us" and "them."

But here’s the twist: not every loud spender is actually rich. Sometimes, it’s all borrowed, living for the killer aesthetics while barely scraping by.

The Invisible Rich Kids

Let’s not forget the quiet ones who are genuinely loaded but choose not to make noise. They’re in class on time, dressed casually. No designer fits, no flashy moves, just vibes. Their wealth whispers, and honestly, it’s really good to watch.

You know that friend that pretends to be poor and lowly and when you visit their house one day or when you eventually find out that they’re not as ‘middle-class’ as they’ve always claimed to be, you’re left in shock? Yes, you can find them in this category too.

You think i don’t have money, oh my opponent, you see you’re deceived!!

Quick Reality Check

We love soft life, but let’s not get distracted. The real flex isn’t how much you spend, but how well you spend it? or it’s how much you’re building for the future. While the rich kids are making noise, some are quietly stacking wins, no labels required.

All this to say that:

• True wealth doesn’t need validation. Focus on building something that speaks for itself.

• Stay in Your Lane: Slow and steady and if it comes fast, handling it should be done wisely. It’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with the noise, just remember that the only competition you should be in, is with yourself. Run it at your pace.

  “Remember the child of whom you are”💀

• I really think the loudest flex is your success, not your spending. But i meannn, why should you care about what people think of your success and spending? All we’re saying is: Let your results make the noise for you. Show workingssss!!!

  

Anyway, next time you see a loud flex, remember that money makes noise, but real wealth whispers. So, what’s your move? Loud spender or quiet builder? Hit reply and let’s gist!
