mamfanny noted that: “There are rich people in Africa for sure! But on the contrary, in our country, the rich are discreet, wear barely visible brands and manage their heritage differently. It’s wrong for me to show so much opulence, I don’t find it pretty, that’s my opinion.”
carnet_secret_de_mj said: “Ah it’s her luck if she decides to flaunt and that makes her happy so much better because we criticize her but how many of us stay humble with the power we are given? Rare of us think of others first before thinking of ourselves. That you are given the same possibilities as her, I’m curious to see your behavior. That she takes advantage of it, it’s her turn.”
