This is exactly how Nigeria's elite want Nigerians to be - bedraggled and destitute to the point where a vehicle that would be sold for scrap in America costs 1,000x the monthly minimum wage in Nigeria, and is out of reach to educated, middle-class professionals.
Then whoever can afford a used 2016 Range Rover Evoque plus a poorly constructed "luxury" house in Lekki without drinkable water or street drainage, can swan through the flooded, stinky streets in their 2nd hand SUV with the AC on and windows up on the way to pick up some well-proportioned daughter of nobody who will be made to work very hard for the equivalent of $100 he will transfer to her GTB that night.
The Nigerian "elite" has no ambition for itself and does not see itself as global contemporaries with Chinese, Indian, European, or American elite. It sees itself as the house slave to those people, with its only mission and purpose in life being to ensure that the field slaves under it never rise above their impoverished station to take its place in the global servants' quarters.
And I would know because I come from that very elite.
