Imagine Paying 25,000 Naira All In The Name Of……

Its funny that people no longer think before they spend.
Sometimes I think its because they have too much of it and sometimes I think they just want to flaunt it to the whole world and show they have it and they can do what they wish when ever they want to not waiting to think if there was something much better they could do with that same money they have decieded to waste.

Ok, let me get everyone out of the dark now.
Foreign artists like Jay Z, Missy Elliot, Ciara, Beyonce, Snoop Dog, Busta Rhymes, Mary J Blige and En Vogue including some Nigerian artists are coming to perform and the gate fee is a whooping sum of 25,000 Naira for a day show and 30,000 Naira for 2 days show and 100,000 for VIP seats.

This left me thinking, if all these people that purchased tickets for this show were asked to use half of that amount used to purchase tickets to feed a hungry child on the streets or put that money in the Church as an offering or tithe they will blindly say no yet they can spend that much to watch some humans sing to their pleasure even if they dont get satisfied.

What is the world turning into?

Rather than feed a hungry child, donate to charity or less priviledged or putting offering in the church or paying tithe, someone would prefer paying such an amount for mere hours of pleasure that will profit him nothing.

Though I know people have a right to do what they wish to do with their hard earned money but I think sometimes they need to have a re-think on how its being spent.

Thats my 2-cents.
