“When you post your fleet of cars and your mansions on social media, who exactly are you trying to impress?
The rich, who probably have way better? Or the póor who can only admire from a distance, if they have data.
You spend billions on supercars you can barely drive in Lagos. Is your garage a race track?
Meanwhile, the potholes are getting bigger, and the floods are getting deeper.
True wealth doesn’t need an audience. It moves in silence”.

He had sent a message to patriotic Nigerians, telling them not to die for the country as being alive is more important than being a trending hashtag.

Basketmouth shared a message on the importance of showing gratitude to God. He noted that waking up healthy and alive in the morning is a blessing that many people don’t have. He stressed that we shouldn’t take anything for granted, as the ability to use every part of our bodies without pain or difficulty is a gift.

In other news, the father of three tooted his horn over his love for minding his business. According to him, he is the CEO of minding his business.

Last year, during 2baba’s marital issues, the comedian said he wasn’t in a position or qualified to speak on it, especially given his divorce from his wife. He added that he didn’t want any dragging for himself, which is why he was staying silent.
