Have an open mind. Don’t view every discourse through the lens of ethnicity, tribe, or an 'us versus them' mindset. The elections are long over now is the time for governance. We're already almost two years into this stage.

I’m not saying people aren’t building houses of course they are but I’m specifically talking about civil servants.

As for my mates building houses, I have no mates in that regard. If you’ve made it, show me the way. I’m willing and humble enough to learn the ropes.

Let's ask Bola Tinubu and his directionless ers building mansions on weekly basis cheesy



But the saddest truth is, most civil servants under this Tinubu's regime are super corrupt, they now device so many means to make money through office corruption and kickbacks, and they call it window or side income. So with the illegitimate money they are getting from office corruption, yes they can build mansion like the politicians undecided

We can choose to keep fooling ourselves, but the reality is that the only way civil servants can build houses now is by looting money in their ministry. Dem plenti for Abuja. Some even have estates.

Going by this analysis and the true state of things in the country, a low to medium-level civil servant fully reliant on his civil service job cannot build a house, sadly, the reality of this is one of the reasons corruption will never end in Nigeria
