Tunde Obe's advice to Nigerian celebs who live above their means

In a recent interview with Encomium magazine, music artist Tunde Obe said any artist who owns a car that the quarter of its cost price isn't in their account, is a failure. He made the statement when he was asked what his advise is to artists who pay millions to live in rented apartments.
"When Wunmi and I started, we could have afforded to rent an apartment on the Island considering the kind of money we were making that time but we were living in Gowon Estate, Ipaja, Lagos where we paid minimal rent so we can save for our basic needs. It wasn't a day's journey. Many artiste don't get it right. You are driving a car you don't have quarter of its total cost in your account, you are a failure. My advise is that they should not live above their means or income. And those who are doing very well now should invest wisely because no condition is permanent" he said

    1. Yes you dimwit. Maybe even have more, more above the cost of the car. Small children like you will just refuse to receive advice

    2. You should have more. I even thought I read that he said the total cost of your car should be quarter of what u have in your account. I.E if you drive a car worth 1m , you should have like 4m in your account. Its not that easy for alot of us but its the wisest way to live.

    It pays to save for the rainy day,to avoid counting those that contributed to you and those that didn't.

  20. Na Sickness the open their yash! D will. Start begging for help!
    Am not surprise @ DR Sid,I watched his interview with Toke where he bragged abt his house!!



    Abeg,people like tuface,Don J, davido,wizpikin (abi na kid),psquare,flavor ,Iyanya are loaded cash wise!

    D rest are just managing!
    KCee of Limpopo as far as am concern make his bulk money from drugs!! Not music!
    Far back as 2010 when Mike Ezuronye Got married ,Kcee and E money (his elder bro) spread dollars bills,and then he wasn't still in d defunct Kcee Presh!



    Another fake ass musician is Zakky! Damn! O boy,that guy no hold kobo!
    In 2010,I watching zakky"s interview on soundcity with a friend...my friend was screaming "GeeeZ,is a lie" Geeeez,na lie"



    He kept screaming ehh,he said Zakky who used to beg him for money all d time!
    Yet zakky claimed he had fleet of cars,a mansion etc!


    I never believed my friend until I read Zakky"s Ex wife(hadiza_s) tell all interview,where she stated that Zakky never owned a car!


    He even lied about his S/A concert!

    Truth is,if u are in showbiz,look good,living in a posh house and driving posh cars is part of the business!



    Now who is talking o tunde and wunmi???

    As them fat like Cow,come d dress like liberia Refugees wey d run from Ebola disease!!

    AbeG,tunde sounds jealous,he isn't relevant anymore!!

    He and wumi should just embark on an eating competiton...2 fat cows!
