Why It Is Better To Spend Money On ‘Ashawo’ Than Build In Lagos – Rapper Erigga

Nigerian rapper Erigga, whose real name is Erhiga Agarivbie, has shared his two kobos on why there was no gain in owning real estate property in Lagos state.

Erigga, who made headlines after revealing he began raising himself at age 8, advised his fans and followers against investing in real estate in Lagos, suggesting it was a waste of money.

According to the rapper, anyone who spent money on a sex worker, locally known as ‘ashawo’, would have more peace than someone building a house in Lagos state.

In a tweet via his X account, Erigga wrote:

“Person wey use money carry Ashawo get peace of mind than person wey build house for Lagos.” See his tweet below:

This comes amid the demolition of houses and properties in Lagos.
