Ti o ba gọ, iwọ lo mọ

 I met with a big sis who is very close to my parents last week and our conversations has never stopped reverberating in my head. She advised me to be very intentional with my financial investments and also plan very well for my retirement.

An advice from @olajideobe on X platform 

This auntie told me that she has a house in Lekki which she bought for about 150m when she got it and people are already offering her 400m for the house but she isn't interested in selling it for now. She said she deposited 70m for the off-plan deal and paid 80m balance in monthly installments. She spent almost another 40m for the finishing to her own taste and put the house out for rent. She has other properties in Ibadan and Akure. All the proceeds from all her rental properties in Nigeria goes into treasury bills and FGN bonds. She said that for every 10m of hers that goes into t-bills, she earns close to 2m as interest.

The aunty said to me "Jide, don't let people say o lọ ìlú òyìnbó, o mùú ǹkan bọ̀" to you o. She said I know you are aláàánú Samáríà like your mummy, but please be very ruthless with your money. People will never stop asking, you are the one who needs to know when to stop them from collecting from you. Her words just keep ringing in my head.oʻ
