He's right

.In Most African countries like Nigeria, you see the poor masses worshipping the rich as if they are mini God.However,in most developed countries outside Africa hardly will u see such behavior.
Sure, it Levels my guy, entirely different continents

So speed Darlington or wtv counts himself amongs the wealthy? This guy... I don't even know any of his useless songs. The only advantage the rich have here in Nigeria is that u can completely evade most taxes and afford to by laws that subjects the activities of the common man. Any other thing is b.s. When you are truly rich u enjoy it anywhere in the globe. Ask the Dangote's or the Otedola's to mention a few.. silly joker cheesy

Reason why we have "developed and developing Nations."
That's not his point. He want Africa never to develop so that Musa and his generation will live attending to his gate for less than $50 a month and Wasiru will wash his clothes for year only to sleep in his sitting room and get free food for as long as possible.

It's sweet in Africa because they use such wealth to oppress the poor which they can't try in advance countries.

sadly, only a poor person would try their hardest to make people believe that they were rich.
btw you dont even need to buy a dryer in the US, just get the washing machine and be done with the misery of leaving your house all the time. in Europe we dont have the US type washer dryers (top/bottom) and instead we usually have a machine that does both and/or we just have a washer and hang our clothes.

Here in the US, there are washing machines that can dry and sanitize and there are dryers that can wash and sanitize as well. People do have both at the same time.

I don't know of anyone hanging their clothes here like it's done in Nigeria - may be heavy stuff like comforters etc, everyone is used to dryers.

I cant tell of other warmer states though - they have crazily hot weather in places like Cali, Florida and Texas around some times of the year. They may not need dryers there. But everyone has washers and dryers in every home I've been to where I live.

This is pure lie.
Rich people carry unequal influence everywhere in the world.
Speed darlington is an average man just trying to survive.
Gates or Zuckerberg will never be found in a laundromat. They own their own side of an island!


Are Gates and Zuckerberg the only wealthy people in America? Don't you understand the differnce between wealth and fame? Some people are wealthy and unknown. They can walk into a bar and you'll never know. Even actors that don't have money get treated like gods because of fame. WE're talking about money here not fame

For these two reasons I guess.

1. Taxes are not paid by most citizens of Africa. Both the rich and the poor. Only companies pay taxes.
You don't pay taxes on your wealth like in the developed countries.

2. The gap between the rich and the poor is so wide that the rich oppress the poor. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. (Anyone who calls this enjoyment needs mental evaluation)

The Google translation of what he meant is that he enjoys using his wealth to oppress people in Nigeria, but can't get the same satisfaction in developed countries

having a houseboy/girl to do your laundry in Nigeria is AVERAGE and certainly not "rich". you certainly dont need to be rich to have one.

I don’t totally agree with you. It is SWEETER in Africa

It's not sweeter in Africa, even as a black man. If it's that sweet wealthy people will relocate to Africa for flexing.
Travel to Dubai, Monaco, Luxembourg and some choice places in America, and see what it is to be wealthy. Millionaires from all over the world gravitate their to live.
Even your own millionaires don't live in in naija. They all reside in Dubai.
Naija is sweet if u get small change with no or little responsibility. That's what u should say.

You're right, I live in the South now and still do need a dryer. Speed Darlington lives in NY, winter there is crazily cold, so I'd expect him to do his laundry in his house. He's probably saving on energy bills, but the comfort comes first for me

By Nigeria standards he is not. Like I said before, if he says he is rich let him not go abroad for one year.

Somebody way come from abroad fit envision say him want spend #2million in 3 months or less does that mean he is a rich man.

U don ever hear say speed Darlington shutdown any club for anywhere or say him spray anybody money before?

Even when ohi Cubana do him mama burial based on the way them being dae spend money the guy dae shout say how dem dae use see this money

A poor man in Yankee is a poor man anywhere.

If you're rich in Yankee, in still would have your number personal laundry room and pay someone to do your laundry.

Just that it's easier to intimidate and oppress the poor in Africa than in western world.

You will still need to do your own laundry if you rent an apartment with washing machine, the only advantage there is that you will not be going to the public Laundromat.

I was not going to reply you but people like you are why I don't feel sorry for Nigeria's current state and it's part to fully becoming a zoo.

I'm sure your day job na border line ritualist or kidnapper.

Health is wealth... Being rich is how you see and take care of yourself.

MrBrownJay1:


every rich person in the US can afford a maid OR AT LEAST A DAMN WASHING MACHINE.



abeg dont mix apples with oranges....Speed Darlington is a broke Nigerian Immigrant in the US, who cant even afford a washing machine!



i can bet my left ball that NONE of the above you mentionned go do their own laundry in laundromat.



but A) this man is not even rich in Africa and B) you dont need to be rich in Africa to have a maid....so comapring his sorry life in the US with that of rich people is clueless!



the problem is not the complaint, the problem is him comparing his broke state in the US, as if he was rich in Nigeria. but the reality is that, in Nigeria, you dont need to be rich to get a housegirl/boy who would do your laundry.




what does traveling got to do with common sense?! so because we are all posting on NL, that automatically means that we are all in Nigeria (or even Africa)?!
the dude is a fukcing Uber driver in the US. only a very foolish person believes that you could be rich (in the US or even Nigeria) by being a Uber driver. as for his failed yeyebrity status, thats for another discussion!



what class of being rich is the one that cannot afford a washing machine?!

yes it is a thing in the US to have two machine (often stacked up) that is less prevalent in Europe... as for sanitizing machines, i think they became much more of a thing after Covid.

Lol, 2 minutes? To use washing machine and dryer will take you nothing less than 45 minutes and more.

the machine cycle is long YES, but it takes me 2 mins to load a machine at home, set it on washing/drying and leave for the day....even if i didnt have a dryer, i would still leave for the day, do my things and take the clothes out the machine when i return home, and use 2 mins to hang the clothes.

now compare that with someone who needs to gather all his dirty laundry in a bag and take it down the street to a laudromat then WAIT for the washing cycle to be over to then shift the clothes from washer to dryer then WAIT AGAIN for the cycle to be over (maybe put some more coins if everything is not all dried up) to then bring back his clean laundry home....before he can go on to do what he needs to do that day.
