Despite having several properties to his name, Nigerian influencer and businessman Waris Olayinka Akinwande, popularly called Ola of Lagos, has revealed that he deliberately chooses to live in rented accommodation.
During a recent appearance on the KK Show, Ola explained that he avoids moving into any of the houses he has purchased because he believes doing so could make him too comfortable and weaken his motivation to keep working.
The luxury lifestyle influencer said the burden of paying rent gives him an extra reason to stay focused on his career and continue pursuing bigger goals.
He revealed that his annual rent is as high as N50 million, describing the expense as a form of motivation to work harder.
Ola said he has never spent a night in a house bought with his own money because he does not want to lose the hunger that drives him to succeed.
