In a post he made on X, Baba said as at the time, he would have been able to buy a Toyota car for N1 million.
However, he recently realised that the same 2008 Toyota Corolla Sport car he would have bought for N1 million is now being sold at N9 million.
He saw a post on X advertising the car for the cost of N9 million.
Baba said the parcel of land he bought in 2020 was still in the bush and he has not been able to develop it.
His words:
“Car whey I suppose don buy 2020 for 1m toks. I carry money go buy land base on say nah my first 1m and I thought I don’t need car yet… fast forward to today. The land self still dey bush ooh.”
His post sparked a debate on X between those who are in favour of buying a car and those who favoured a parcel of land.
Others simply said he was telling lies, noting that the car in question would have cost more than a million naira in 2020.
