At first glimpse, the look might be decieving but with spatial understading and the adage that says"Empty barrels make the loudest noise" the very endowed african personalities are not so flashy, it should however be well understood as well that the african culture of familyhood (African socialism). when believes that your family wealth is the wealth of your family members, even those who gave no attention to your upbringing, it is believed that they have a defined share in the wealth accured by nay member of the family.

in the larger context, living a flashy life is not rated at a few bucks above 150naira which is the actula amount an individual can spend in a day and he/she is said to live above the poverty line. Extremist flashy african men, can go as far as intimidating thier fellow men, spending more than a six-digit amount in a day. majorly all Africans have this tendency to live flashy, but due to uneven distribution of state rescourse and iirespective of who gets fund or how it is managed, an African man  to be recognised.. unlike Europe and Asia, where the "Big Dogs" prefer a low profile, the reverse is the case in Africa.. For instances; a burial ceremony covered by a well  reknown African-oriented magazine called Ovation.. 

A ghanian burial ceremony was budgeted 200million USD!!! now  that is  flashy... a Nigerian wedding ceremony @ caracas in venezuela with over 230million  POUNDS lavished.. now that day could be rued later on. the compendium of the African believe in a corpus form, states the ever wanting phenomena of am average African man .. FLASHY MEN !!! they are all over africa, the average African lady falls in love with them though.
