In regards to this particular topic, yes its true money is the most valuable commodity in life after life itself.
But I think money is over-rated in some societies of the world more than it is in others and justifiably so.
Take for instance in some countries of Africa where making money is a do or die affair, which however is motivated by lack of good governance. Everybody either want to make money to at least survive or make money to prove a point.  Compare this scenario to the western society where  there are many channels of survival giving room for little or no do-or-die...Money Most times becomes a hundred percent factor for recognitions.

In reference to your point concerning Wizkid at Etihad, I've also seen a case where a poor fan of a particular club is suffering with or dies with an llness, and during a match the club recognizes such individual with a stattement or gesture which scarsely happens in our own local football events.

My point is that in some good societies attention is also given to a voice of reasoning without the influence of money more than it is given in other unfortunate poorly governed soieties

Meanwhile, money is worth the chase because it answers all things but respect to the point that one shouldn't kill or steal to get it
