Laughable calling the move of a Frobe Billionaire a waste of Money. One thing Is certain about those class of people, they don't put their hands in where Money won't come out...

Until it is completed, they should not describe it as the tallest building. Let's wait. We saw how the Burj Khalifa was built, they said "will be the tallest". Complete the building first. Even First Bank is choosing the words carefully (upon completion, will be the) but media has confused us.

Anything can happen so don't confuse the general public with exaggerated reporting.

My money is there.
The amount of money this people have stolen from me is enormous.

Tinubu vision.
