He was paying N9,000,000 yearly for 3 bedroom flat in Maitama, Abuja. It was later increased to 10M and he was paying. No savings. No investment. He's working. He believed and depended on his salary. It will surely be coming.
His argument:
"When you live in the neighborhood of big men, you will behave like big men. You roll with big men. Packaging. You network".
His junior colleagues went to the developing areas like Lugbe, FO1 Kubwa, Ushafa and bought lands in the selling estates there.
They used their salary and built to their satisfaction, the kind of house they needed. They also rented the boys quarters and build other commercial houses they rented out.
This man in Maitama was making mockery of those friends of his for living in the outskirts of the city.
He said they live in the village and shouldn't claim they are in Abuja. He always argued that living in the neighborhood of the rich makes you have respect, you network.
Fast forward to the second tenure of Bubu, something happened. The man was sacked.
Remember, for the past 10 years, he has been paying rent between 9M to 10M in Maitama when all his mates became landlords.
His rent is expiring next month, no money to renew it or even get another one.
He told one of his friends — those he laughed at for staying in the village to give him a flat from his house. He sent him the number of the property lawyer.
"Excuse me. You are my friend. You should give me this for free. You know what I am passing through".
His friend replied him:
"Building materials didn't come to me for free. The land I bought wasn't for free. Please, my house has been handed over to a lawyer.
If you need it, call him, he will tell you the price. There are others who need it. I can only convince my lawyer to give it to you because we are friends. So, if you are serious about it, you let me know".
He paused, they paused; both of them paused.
This is not fiction. I know those involved.
Over 10 years of living in the neighborhood of the rich, ọga is still poor.
Think and plan your life. Where you live doesn't matter. What matters is you and the value you create.

Why Kizz Daniel refused to perform at Tanzanian concert, by promoter
"Kizz Daniel had a gold chain on his neck, yet he refused to perform because the airline had failed to deliver his luggage that contained his other gold chains; insisting he must wear all of it for the show"
The singer had arrived in the country earlier but refused to perform because of unavailability of his clothes.
But in an Instagram Live session with Daddy Freeze after the news of the singer’s arrest by the Tanzanian police went viral, the show promoter, identified Steve claimed Vado refused to perform because the luggage containing his other gold chain was delivered.
According to Uwah, although Kizz had a gold chain on his neck, yet he refused to perform because the airline had failed to deliver his luggage that contained his other gold chains; insisting he must wear all of it for the show.
He noted his manager, Paulo called the singer from America, crying while begging him all night to honour the show but he refused to bulge.
Explaining reason for Kizz Daniel’s refusal to perform at the concert to Daddy Freeze, Uwah stated: “He only said the airline did not bring his bag, that is why he cannot perform because his gold chain is not there and he had a good chain on his neck, one but he wanted everything.”
“And I brought him harmonised skin. I brought in different clothes. So, he said just because the airline didn’t bring one of his bags, he cannot perform without his gold on his neck.
“That show, I spent nothing less than $300,000 because the show was a premium show. I’ll send you a video of that show. That show wasn’t a joke. A table for that show was sold for $5,000 and the highest table was sold for $10,000.
“I have all the contract with Paulo. Paulo is the one who I booked Kizz Daniel directly from.
“Paulo cried all night calling from America trying to beg this guy saying, ‘please go for the show’s, but he refused.”

BITTER SWEET STORY!
When Tobi Amusan climbed the stage of the 2022 World Athletics Championships to pick up the Gold medal.. she had no tears streaming down her eyes..
Then the national anthem of Nigeria was played.. Tears rolled down her eyes!
Tobi Amusan remembered how a country that refused to sponsor its athletes were enjoying stolen heroism.. How criminal politicians will steal her personal efforts for their own social media publicity but none even came to her aid on the road to Oregon, USA.
Tobi remembered the Ministry of Youth and Sports that dropped them in the middle of no where, no allowances, no proper care was going to take an applause they didn't deserve.
Tobi Amusan cried as the anthem of shame is played.. How the country made them look like thieves, bandits and Unknown Gun Athletes as they were humiliated from one drug check to another..
She remembered the particular incident of how they slept at the airport lounge on arrival and had to move straight to the open fields without care until some richer athletes dipped hands into their pockets and did an "akawo" to help out because Nigeria and the embassy never had a proper arrangement in place for them!
She was worried that instead of going back to the hotel to rest and celebrate her Light Chinaka medal, she is going back to wash the one track suit and jerseys that a country as rich as Nigeria offered them..
At a point, she looked round the whole stadium to at least wave to her fans.. but realised that there was no "Green and White fan" anywhere in the stadium. Nigeria has sent no soul but the budgets at home is filled with monies for fans.. which the Ministers and their girlfriends have collected and travelled with them..
As the anthem got to the "one Nation bound in Freedom.. bla bla bla".. she saw herself like a liar. Lying to the whole world about a Freedom and a one nation that doesn't exist. How the youths are being incarcerated, either in the hands of government or in the hands of bandits.
Tobi tried to hold back tears.. but how possible? When Nigerian youths are talking about voting in a next president who said they should not worry about exchange rate. That their salaries will be paid in Naira while here she is receiving $100,000..
Tobi Amusan knows that her neck can hang more medals and more youths in Nigeria can do more.. but they don't want to come to the track and fields.. they just want to eat agbado and cassava! Create demand and consumption and then enjoy sexually transmitted Unity from any Unifier..
Tobi didn't cry because of PDP VS APC.. she cried for Senseless Nigerian youths who would and are still campaigning for the same people who put them in perpetual bo***ge

Nigerian doctor charged in the UK with plotting with Senator Ekweremadu and wife for alleged kidney h@rvesting
A Nigerian doctor named Obinna Obeta, 50, residing in the UK has been accused of plotting with former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, to traffic a hom€less man into the UK to h@rvest a kidney for their daughter.
Obinna from Southwark, South London, appeared before the Bexley Magistrate court on Thursday, July 13, and was charged under the Modern Slavery Act with arranging the travel of a 21-year-old man with a view to him being exploited between August last year and this May.
A second charge alleges he conspired with the former Senate President to arrange or facilitate the travel of the man with a view to him being exploited, namely organ h@rvesting.
It would be recalled that the Ekweremadus are being tried in the UK on charges of organ h@rvesting after a 21-year-old man, David Ukpo, they brought to the UK approached the police with claims of being treated as a sl@ve and also claiming that he was ''15'' years old. The Nigerian politician and his wife were arrested in the UK on June 21 after flying into Heathrow from Turkey. It was later discovered that David lied about his age.
Prosecutor Tim Probert-Wood had previously told the court that the case involved 'exploitation and the h@rvesting of an organ.' The Prosecuting counsel told the court that the Ekweremadus had planned to have David's kidney removed so it could be given to their daughter.
However, counsel to Mr. Ekweremadu, Martin Hicks, QC, insisted that the former Senate President and his wife did no wrong. All three defendants, who are in custody, are due to appear at the Old Bailey on August 4.
Last night.
Lekki, Lagos
11:25pm
Picked two girls from a hotel.
Driving out of the gate
Two hotel staffs ran towards my car to stop us.
I stopped.
Politely one of them asked to check their bags.
Simply because the towel in the bathroom was missing.
Embarrassing situation.
Towel was found in the box.
She kept on apologizing it was a mistake.
There was no fuss or drama by the staffs as they handled the situation better than I even imagined.
I follow share in the embarrassment.
The ride to Ikeja was silent and cold as expected.
Abeg!
Make una nor dey carry wetin nor be souvenir for hotels and service apartments.
It's not yours!!!
If na another hotel or staffs, the situation could have escalated more than that.
