See mixed reactions trailing the above message by singer Paul Okoye to Nigerians below;
official__teewealth: Normally, house rent takes the larger percentage of your income. That’s why you need to hustle so your children won’t face the same issue you are currently in.
3darchitectdesigner: As an architect, I advise building only if you can afford it without jeopardizing your financial stability. Avoid committing your entire resources to a construction project that could potentially lead to significant financial strain. Additionally, carefully evaluate the location before building, as some areas may not provide a viable return on investment, making it difficult to sell or recoup your expenses.
gee4gifty____: FACT Imagine working hard all day only to use 90% of annual income to pay rent. That’s an error. If your 3months income can’t pay ur annual rent then you’re living in the wrong house and above ur means..
srigeorgeom: Bad tenants are too many in Nigeria , and the frustration of being a landlord cannot be overstated. Many of us have been tenants before, and now, as landlords, we better understand why our landlords behaved the way they did. However, having experienced both sides, we’ve also been able to correct many of the mistakes they made. Balancing fairness with firmness is key, but it’s clear that being a landlord in Nigeria comes with its unique challenges. While I agree with him to some extent, I disagree on the aspect of location. Location matters, please. Otherwise, you will learn the hard way. If you’re thinking of living in the kind of environment you grew up in, in 2024, then you’ve lost touch with reality. The world has changed—privacy and security are now essential. The same God who blessed you and gave you the strength to get this far will also give you the strength to build in a better and more secure environment. Most importantly, don’t build a house if you haven’t established a personal brand, built a business, or diversified your investments. Cash flow is super important—it’s like a lifeline. You can achieve both, but let’s be realistic. Paul Okoye lives in Ikoyi, yet he’s telling us location doesn’t matter. He owns properties in the UK and the United States. Be intentional about where you want to live and raise your children. It’s better to be a rich tenant than a poor landlord. If our government were efficient, any environment could have been suitable, but not in today’s Nigeria. I am SG, and I’ll see you on the next one.
nma_hrh: Renting is still better than ‘owning’ a place for just 100 years, and still paying Landlord Tax to the govt.
