Sasha P shares concern over the obsession with wealth

• Sasha P lamented that Nigerians now use wealth to determine people’s value and treat rich folks like deities.
• She explained that money does not determine a person’s character; rather, it amplifies it.

Veteran Nigerian rapper Sasha P has expressed concerns about the cultural emphasis on wealth in Nigeria.

In a recent post, she lamented that people’s value is often determined by their financial status, with wealthy individuals being treated with undue reverence.

Sasha P argued that a person’s character is not defined by their wealth, but rather amplified by it.

She emphasized that wealth does not guarantee wisdom, emotional intelligence, or accountability.

The rapper also criticized the tendency to respond to disagreements or criticisms by questioning someone’s net worth.

She advocated for a shift in values, encouraging people to tie their self-worth to their character rather than their possessions.

On her X handle, Sasha P wrote:

“I think we lost the plot when people began to determine your value by how much money you have. People worship money in Nigeria, and any apparent show of wealth, you get treated like some deity when, in actual fact, you can have so much money and still be far from wisdom!

“Money doesn’t automatically make you cool or good company to keep. It doesn’t excuse you from accountability or bestow you with emotional intelligence. It is an amplifier….your character will still be your destiny!

“So unbecoming when the first retort to an affront is “how much do you even have?’ Your self-worth should not be tied to your possessions.”

In response to this public call-out, a video has surfaced on the internet depicting Uche Maduagwu in handcuffs, being arrested and forced into a vehicle.
