Sasha P, the renowned Nigerian rapper and lawyer, recently took to X to express her thoughts on the value society places on wealth. According to Sasha P, people have lost sight of what truly matters, instead determining a person’s worth by their bank account.
“We’ve lost the plot when people began to determine your value by how much money you have,” Sasha P tweeted. “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.”
Sasha P’s statement highlights the societal pressure to prioritize material wealth over personal growth and wisdom. Her words serve as a reminder that true value lies within an individual’s character, skills, and contributions to society, rather than their financial status.
