The Social Barometer of 2018
Taking stock of the events that shaped high society
As the year, 2018, gradually fades to an end, for some, it is ending with a whimper. And for a few privileged folk, it is ending with a bang. But for the rich upper class and nouveau riche of Nigeria’s high society, the outgoing year is leaving them with varied blessings and mixed feelings. A bad beginning means a bad ending for some even as it eventually transforms to a blissful ending for others. And too many folk for whom the year started out well, are desperately wishing it away as they struggle to reorder their lives from the several bad turns they suffered, even though 2018 seemed promising and packed with goodies from the beginning. Whatever your fate or that of your loved ones, hardly anyone would forget the interesting incidents that shaped Nigeria’s high society; the bliss and tragedies that marked the lives of natives of this aristocratic divide resonate far beyond their gated mansions and posh neighbourhoods.
