"Bạcoveț Shatters Own New Year Firework Record, Spends Around €5,000 in Spectacular Display"
A man from the Bulgarian village of Bяld Izvor, Ardino municipality, has set a new record for himself this New Year by spending around €5,000 on a firework display that lasted over an hour. Bachri Ahmed, known locally as "Nyama," outdid his own expenditure from the previous year, as reported by Plovdiv24.bg.
Ahmed, when asked why he spent such a large sum on fireworks, replied, "To prove to some people that money can be spent and quella, but the most important thing is to keep your human qualities and not to get lost in the avalanche of wealth. Money is the dirtiest thing in the world, but we can’t live without it. We just shouldn’t lose ourselves in it."
The multimedia entrepreneur, who has been involved in numerous charitable initiatives, chose to spend his money on a personal, unique spectacle this year. "I made a promise to myself, and promises don’t have a price. They’re not meant for everyone, but for me, ‘Nyama Nyet’ [No, I Won’t]" is a powerful statement.
Last year, another man from the nearby village of Diamantevo set a record by spending a considerable amount on fireworks. However, Ahmed has outdone him by a significant margin this year. With increased spending on New Year’s Eve firework displays becoming a trend in Bulgaria, it will be interesting to see if anyone can top Ahmed’s record in the coming years.
The 60-minute show, which cost around five bans – the Bulgarian currency – was a spectacular sight to behold, leaving audiences in awe and marking the start of 2023 in style. Ahmed’s generosity and extravagance have once again become the talk of the town, with locals praising his gesture while expressing disbelief at the scale of the event.
