Thought it a small hotel. Quintessentially Nigerian. Gorgeous gaff. White elephant nonetheless, but, what big tusks you have...all the better to...joust with other, swollen templed bulls equally in muste.

More success Odion.

And what happens at night?
15KVA? You can't be serious. Won't even be enough for the lights.
Mechanicals also need power. Lots of power for HVAC systems for cooling at the minimum.
$5-$6k is not correct. At least $50k, without energy storage. Without the ability to store energy, these systems can't run at night.

We call these shiny objects. Something Africans and Blacks (and many athletes/celebrities) are in love with.
Because he makes lots of money (which is even very relative ) doesn't mean the house was built without debt.
Before making an intelligent comment, it is important to understand if any debt was taken, how much, which terms.
Can he continue to repay the debt, after his football days are over.
Yes, many celebrities use debt to acquire mansions.
I would really be interested to know how he plans to fund his retirement, which is less than 10 years away.

You get time! The bobo make some ridiculous statements that you start to wonder where he gets his facts from

$6k for a 15-20KVA solar system? How much will the battery bank cost?

Then 20KVA? How many AC's will be in the house???

BTW, I expect the house to be in an estate that provides 24hour service so no need for individual generators!

The interior is really nice but looks like a hotel lobby than a home, this man should move back to Europe to relanch his career

Just seen the interior. The architect should have done better and too many wasted spaces.

Not really, she says it like Odion completely mortgaged his childhood on football at the expense of all else like the expectations of a kid in a typical naija household.
