From the United States, the chorus “make it rain” reverberated across the globe. From Nigeria came “chop my money” (spend my money) while in Kenya we have “pesa otas”(whose literal meaning in Dholuo is “money is just a piece of paper”).

South Sudanese “young tycoon” Lawrence Lual Malong Yor Jr, who is currently living in Nairobi, is just the latest to hit the headlines.
However Popular gospel singer Willy Paul has taken to social media on the same course showcasing his wealth.

In a video he posted in his saldido studio , willy paul says he thanks God for everything .
The gospel singer stunned his fans on wednesday, when he decided to parade bundles of cash on his social media account.

Behavioural experts say flaunting to such an extent reveals an underlying problem in the individual.
