Nigerian celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji, has taken to social media to share an interesting story how she splashed $2.5m (N907.5m) on her first home, having realized she was rich and could afford to own a house in Banana Island.
At an event, Linda who is one of the highest-paid blogger in Nigeria was asked when she realized she was rich.
Answering the question, Linda is famous for her expensive designer bags and outfits, recounted how she used to live in a rented apartment in Surulere which had rats running around in her sitting room.
She explained that on a particular day while blogging from home, the rats kept disturbing her until she became fed up with the disturbance. She called up her friend and immediately went house hunting the next day.
In her post on Instagram, she wrote
“How rats made me realize I was rich and inspired me to go buy my own house.
After they chased me out of my sitting room one day, I said to myself, ‘I’m too rich to be sharing space with rats, goddammit!’ 😂😂😂. Two months later, I was living in a fresh, brand new home in Banana Island, Ikoyi. What do rats look like again? 🤣🤣🤣”
