Obafemi Martins shows off his diamond watches & shoe collection
The footballer shared the photos on instagram. Everyone's showing off these days..lol. Well, if you work hard and make money, you're allowed to. It could inspire others to want to work hard too, abi?
Me, I'm not even going to comment on the shallowness or stupidity of this act. But dayum! There are some thing I want to say but if I say it now people will show no mercy. If not for the fact that I'm a kind hearted person, I would have said he looks like an ape that excaped from the wild and I won't blame white people for looking down on africans cos of the likes of him, but nah, its better I don't.
So he had the time to arrange his shoes on his dining table to show the world. If only most of this so called celebs take time to honor God like this. It's well
He's actually a very humble guy if u get to meet him,met him in a club n he was d sweetest most charming little man i ever met plus he spoke very good italian which was uber romantic,sadly he thought i was out of his league(loads of pun intended) ;)))
Personally I think it's real insecurity that drives a person to post on social media 'evidence' of their 'wealth', real or imagined. Those who REALLY HAVE, don't do this. What's the point of it? Especially with most of the world locked in a double if not triple dip recession,with little or nothing going around. What are these people trying to say or prove and to who?
I totally disagree with you on this one, it's utter rubbish, they might as well show us their bank balance. if you need to show your followers inspiring stuff, there are Nigerian at home and abroad doing amazing stuff which can inspire the youth, please do your research properly and am sure there are tons in academics, business, entrepreneurial, from nothing to something, showbiz etc definitely NOT shopping bags, shoes, cars or wads of cash. How in the world can a so called celeb show off their 'shoe' be inspiring..other people are laughing at us as this trend eats into us..rather sad.
I know you can do better.
This is an open letter to you, and am hoping my suggestion hits home. I know its your blog and its your prerogative but please do the right thing, your blog has inspired other, including my humble self, and has given rise to the blog business in Nigeria. You and I have talked this on the phone in the past.
Foolish boy..na ur type go buy new car put am for bbm,twitter and instagram say 'my new toy'..leave Obagoal o..let him show off..if e dey pain u,u can choose not to see anymore..be happy with the happy and sympathise with the sad.
i just hope they are all investing. I am tired of stars and celebrities wasting their money on frivolities and years down the line when they fall ill syart bombarding us with appeals for donations on medical treatment abroad. They should be educated on putting money aside for raining days. Shikena!!
They also show off but the ways they do it is just different..have you seen Dangotes boat where he docks it or his private jet(s)?you never groove reach that level that's why you never see these men show offs.
Drogba is building a hospital in his country and these insecure idiots we refer to as celebrities are busy flaunting their money. By the way Linda, if this is inspiring I might as well look up to Rick Ross as a role model.
How do dey do this sef. Dey just wake up one morning and decide to take pictures of inrelevant things and post on instagram. So people shld what. Most of this things are just annoying. Take pictures of on going projects that your children and the nation can benefit from then we wld be proud of u. Not pictures of canvass and wrist watches and necklaces and suits and dollars. What wld remain yours in the next 10-20 years dat u wld beat your chest hard and say yes I worked hard for it
I'm not saying u don't have a right upload personal stuff. But don't let it be a trending thing and then a competition.
I seriously don't feel ds is d right way to inspire youth ds act can lead into high rate of robbery and money rituals and human blood is involed in ds dirty game..one step at a tym we will all get to higher ground IJN
This what happens when people with no dream suddenly find themselves in world that seems a mirage..a grown man showing off 'shoes' on his dinning table..what will he tell his kid if he was doing this...
yes o, I agree- showing off is rather tacky in my view but Obafemi has worked hard for his money and it is his right to show off if that's what he wants! BTW, i hope the guy has remembered to save some of that money for the life after football o!
those that stays in martins house that ar his personal assitant. Leave in poverty, they beg to eat. So wats d essence of d rubish, can drobga, or samuel eto do dis,me that I stay with him for about 12yrs. I never achive anytin. Linda if I tel u more about dis boy u wil close yur account.
Is a wicked soul, if u kno him I swear. U go stone, am, he dey show off watch, person wey go stil suffer al d bad wey hin don do. Lebron james,nba player has shares in liverpool fc, samuel eto has a telecomunication company, dis one na to carry olosho 4 elegushi. Show watch 4 us
The scourge of the black man...make a lot of money and throw it away on material possessions that more or less have no resale value without a though for tomorrow and generations unborn!
I haven't even go thru the comments,Already know what's there...grow up,only kids show off bla bla bla...Broke ass ppl! Wagabyi jare obafemi! That second watch is CLASSIC! I dey see like 3 zanotti for there...
I know a lot of people will say it is beef or woteva, black man suffers from deprivation and constantly battling low self esteem, na we first start to work hard? How many Caucasian peeps do u see showing off how much gold they have than brains? It is the mind of the black man to show off at all cost while oyinbo laffs bcos there's so much suffering around the same guy showing off.......show off ok, him change pass bill gates own? You know what car bill drives? Mtcheeew,
You guys are ignorant..he has is life to leave....among u here u buy thing dat u can't even afford if nt dat u save for it..bt dis guy got money and he is enjoyn is money..is dat anybdy problem..if he is ur family u wnt say I like,u will b proud wth ur stupid mouth to call him ur broda...leave d guy alone he spend money on people more dan body accessories...he is a footballer not a banker or a lower and all dis is jst like toy to him...
Or steal hard too! i think it is irrelevant what these guys are doing!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you! Steal hard is the word..or you think it's easy to make the kinda money these guys have? Buttu mhen, this boy's head is diaaaa!
