The real reason your landlord's son drives a Range Rover

My landlord's son just bought a brand new Range Rover. The boy is 24, no job, no business, nothing. I checked his Instagram once, the boy dey post motivational quotes about 'grinding' and 'hustle'. The only thing he grinds is his father's last nerve.

Meanwhile I'm here with a remote job, paying rent in dollars, and my own father still asks me if I've 'started looking for work'. The data suggests a strong correlation between being born into money and being called 'enterprising'. Correlation is not causation, but it's very funny.

I ran the calculation. My landlord's son's entire net worth is 'my father's property'. My net worth is 'my skills and my laptop'. Worst case scenario, he inherits the building and I keep renting. Best case scenario, I buy my own place and he's still posting quotes. Lagos is a special kind of chaos.
