Nigerian celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji has shared an interesting story of how rats made her realise that she was rich and inspired her to splash $2.5m (N907.5m) on her first house in banana island.
At an event, the mother of one was asked the moment she realized she was rich. In response to the question, she recounted how she used to live in a rent apartment in Surulere which had rats running around in her sitting room.
She stated 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.
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? “
