Don’t envy anyone, you will lose the battle - BBNaija star, Uriel

Uriel Oputa, Nigerian reality show star, recently took to social media to share her thoughts on people who try to impress others with expensive things they cannot truly afford.

The desire to flash a luxurious lifestyle is quite real on social media especially for celebrities who have a reputation to live up to.

Uriel took to her page to react to popular boxer, Anthony Joshua’s post on people who go broke to look rich and impress others.

According to the reality star she wants a Chanel bag more than anything but she knows she would be unable to afford it since she still pays rent.

Uriel said that she had to train herself since 18 to always plan ahead. She spoke further and advised fans not to envy others and to work hard.

The reality star then recounted how she almost puked twice after she bought her first designer shoe last year. She advised fans to invest in their lives well because a dog can later chew the shoe.

Uriel said that not everything that glitters is gold and that the goal is to be wealthy and not just to look it.

Parts of her post reads: “Don’t envy anyone work hard. I bought my first designer shoe last year I almost threw up twice in mouth before I paid, On the train home I was numb, when I got home I wanted to fight my cat.

"(Uk) Don’t ask me about the shoe … Invest in your life well. A dog will chew your shoe. I remember I was judged by a Lagos socialite because I had on bathroom slippers few days bk … I saw the looks very cold looks, Not everything that glitters is gold.

"The Goal is to be wealthy not look it … ok look it small sha. Mind you I get real gucci slippers (London one o) but I like my bathroom slippers. Do not envy anyone. Never! You will lose the battle because it was never your fight. Let me tell you, you have the power to be who the heck you want man!!!! No celebrity/ pop star or anyone is better than you. Heck No.”
