Uchenna Onungwa said:
"I'm an Architect. It is not feasible for a waiter even on 50k salary to build this in less than 3 years. Unless there are other avenues of income. This not viable. Quite impressive though."
Odemero Onome said:
"At 25 she built a house for her parents and also taking care of her siblings. How long has she been in this business? That was how Regina Daniel built a house for her parents and we taught it was only hard work not knowing that a man was behind it. I can only believe her if she says she assisted her parents to complete their building."
Clara Ojiego Nnadiri said:
"Small girl with Big God believe them at your own peril nde Ara mba ona aru na oil company Ana akogheri."
Ifeanyi Cosmas James said:
"Congrats to her.
"If she say she build am from her salary then she did, why una dey look for problem where there's none."
