A Nigerian woman is currently delighted because a piece of land she bought 15 years ago is now worth N90 million.
In a TikTok video, the elderly woman, who appeared to be speaking to her children, revealed that she bought the land N1.5 million years ago when it was just a farm and was not developed.
15 years later the land is now worth N90 million, giving her a handsome profit of N88.5 million.
In her words,
“I bought land for N1.5 million, if you want I’ll bring the receipt for you 15 years ago. It’s currently selling for N90 million. It was somebody’s farm that I bought. There was corn, there were all sorts of things. I saw ridges there. I was the one that took them out.”
The video was shared on social media by a TikTok user who responded to it with extreme shock.
