Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, famously known as Rudeboy of PSquare, recently shared some life advice that got people buzzing online.

Taking to his Instagram stories, the artist emphasized the importance of working hard to own a house, stressing that it’s a crucial step toward achieving financial freedom.

Paul, who recently welcomed a baby with his wife, Ivy Ifeoma, encouraged Nigerians to prioritize building their own homes to escape the endless cycle of paying rent.

According to him, avoiding rent isn’t just about saving money—it’s about gaining lifelong freedom from the stress and disrespect that often come with dealing with landlords.

“See ehh… No matter what you do in life, make sure you work soo hard to avoid RENT!!” Paul wrote. “Because that’s a lifetime of freedom. Get yours—it doesn’t matter where or the location.

The fear of landlords is the beginning of disrespect and see-finish. Get yours!! That will be the beginning of your FINANCIAL FREEDOM.”

Interestingly, Paul didn’t suggest building a luxurious mansion in a prime location. Instead, he stressed that any home, regardless of size or location, can provide the relief and dignity of owning a personal space.

The post sparked mixed reactions, with many agreeing that rent can be a huge financial burden. Some commenters shared their own experiences.

One user, official__teewealth, noted, “House rent takes the larger percentage of your income. Hustle hard so your kids don’t face the same struggles.”

Another, 3darchitectdesigner, warned against rushing into construction projects without proper planning, saying, “Build only if you can afford it without jeopardizing your financial stability.

Evaluate the location before starting—it should have good value for future returns.”

Meanwhile, gee4gifty____ shared a practical tip: “FACT. If your 3 months’ income can’t pay your annual rent, then you’re living above your means. Move to a more affordable place.”

Paul’s advice resonates with the struggles of many Nigerians, where housing costs are a major drain on incomes. His words serve as a reminder to plan ahead, save wisely, and prioritize financial independence.

Owning a home may not solve all life’s problems, but it’s certainly a step toward peace of mind.
