Popular Nigerian social media personality Ola of Lagos has explained why he continues to pay rent despite owning properties of his own.
The influencer, whose real name is Ola Olukoyede, revealed that owning houses does not necessarily mean he has stopped renting accommodation.
According to him, his decision is influenced by convenience and the nature of his lifestyle, rather than an inability to afford his own property.
Ola explained that there are times when renting a home makes more sense for him, even though he has invested in real estate.
He noted that owning property and choosing where to live are two different decisions, particularly for someone whose work requires flexibility and frequent movement.
The social media personality has built a reputation around luxury cars, lifestyle content and his involvement in the automobile business, attracting a large following online.
His revelation about continuing to pay rent despite owning houses has generated reactions, with many people debating whether property ownership should automatically mean abandoning rented accommodation.
For Ola, however, the decision appears to come down to practicality and personal preference rather than simply owning a house.
