Okese1: Ghanaian rapper builds an 8-bedroom house in 6 months with a swimming pool worth GH¢70K

  • The dream of owning a house or a landed property one day causes many Ghanaians to save and prepare for the building
  • This is because many assume it will take long to complete their dream houses and furnish it to their taste
  • However, it has taken less than a year for some others to put up their dream houses and furnish it

A Ghanaian rapper called Okese 1 has disclosed that it took him half a year to build an eight-bedroom house at Kumasi in the Ashanti region.

Okese 1 said that he had built two other houses before starting the one that took him six months to complete and furnish.

The other two have been rented out. However, he will live in the third one, which he has constructed.

"This is my fourth house. I have an uncompleted one close by and three finished houses. It is an eight-bedroom house. Each floor has four bedrooms. It took me six months to build. Those who watch my Snap can testify."
"The first is around Tech. It is a four-bedroom house. The second one is also a four-bedroom house. I have rented them out," he added.

On the cost of his building, Okese 1 told Zionfelix that he is not ready to state the price. He, however, said that the swimming pool in the house cost him GH¢70,000.

"People have been asking me what is the price but I don't want to disclose it. But it was really costly because I put in a lot of money. The pool alone cost me GHC70,000"

He added that the fourth house, when completed, will also be rented out to people.
