“In this life, ensure you put in the effort to build a home,” advises singer Paul Okoye to Nigerians, eliciting numerous reactions.
Popular Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, professionally known as Rudeboy from PSquare, recently sparked conversations with a post advising Nigerians to work diligently to build at least one house in their lifetime.
In his message, shared on the Insta Stories of his verified Instagram account, Paul Okoye, who recently welcomed a child with his wife Ivy Ifeoma, emphasized that working hard can help individuals avoid paying rent, which he described as a form of lifelong freedom.
3darchitectdesigner: As an architect, I recommend building only if you can afford it without compromising your financial stability. Avoid dedicating all your resources to a construction project that could lead to significant financial strain. It’s also crucial to assess the location before building, as some areas may not offer a good return on investment, making it difficult to sell or recover your costs.
gee4gifty____: FACT. Imagine working hard all year only to spend 90% of your income on rent. That’s a mistake. If three months of your income can’t cover your annual rent, you’re living in the wrong place and beyond your means.
srigeorgeom: There are many problematic tenants in Nigeria, and the frustrations of being a landlord are significant. Many of us have been tenants before; now, as landlords, we understand why our landlords acted the way they did. Having experienced both sides allows us to correct many past mistakes. Balancing fairness with firmness is essential, but being a landlord in Nigeria presents unique challenges. While I agree with him to some extent, I disagree about the importance of location. Location is crucial; otherwise, you’ll learn the hard way. If you think you can live in the same environment you grew up in, you’ve lost touch with reality. The world has changed—privacy and security are now paramount. The same God who has blessed you will also give you the strength to build a better, safer environment.
