Top Nigerian influencer and businessman Waris Olayinka Akinwande, aka Ola of Lagos, has explained why he has always stayed in a rented apartment despite owning several homes.
Ola disclosed in a recent KK Show episode that he had never slept in a home he purchased with his own money because he was afraid he would get “too relaxed” if he resided there.
The luxury influencer clarified that renting an apartment encourages him to put in more effort.
He also stated that he spends 50 million Naira a year on rent.
I have never slept in any house I bought with my own money. If you do, you will become too relaxed. Despite being in a beautiful estate, I still live in rented apartments and pay rent. When I pay 50 million naira a year. I use that pain to keep grinding harder,” he said.
