My father, Apostle Safo, told me, 'do not buy any car again. Buy lands and build homes. So that when you are in a financial fix, the houses can sort you out.'

Ever since then, I have lost interest in cars because I'm growing old, and so I have made some properties so that when you grow old, it can sustain you.

Mr Brown stated that after turning his love for cars into a wealth-building mindset in real estate, he has seen that cars are not property.

I was going to use the money to buy a car, but when you see the houses I've put up, you will see that it's true, cars aren't property.

Following the advice and change of mindset, Osebo added that he had sold nine of his cars, leaving only five.
