"He bought his first house in 3 years. That shouldn't be less than $300k. If he was a nurse in Nigeria he can't even afford that kind of house after working for 35 years with 90k salary. And someone will call me and say it's not greener out there. Agbaya everywhere."PAY ATTENTION: Install our latest app for Android, read the best news on Nigeria’s #1 news app
