Man said building his in the village is a waste
In a related story, Fox Nigeria reported that a medical doctor who lives and works in Canada said to build a house in the village is a total waste of time and resources.
Dr Arinze Onwumelu, popularly known as Dr Zo, said he built a house in his village, but he hardly stays there for more than a few days.
He said if he had built the house in places like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt or Enugu, he would have made up to N100 million by now.
