A young son has caused a stir in his community after reportedly selling his late father‘s land for 50 million naira, which he subsequently invested in the music industry. The decision has sparked widespread controversy and condemnation from various quarters, with many questioning the wisdom of his investment choice, given the significance of the land and the sentimental value attached to it by the family and community.
The incident was captured in a viral video posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which shows the young man sitting alone, looking visibly distressed and deep in thought, while two older women, believed to be family members, berate him for his actions. The women were seen angrily shouting at the young man, accusing him of making a reckless decision by selling his father’s land, which had been part of the family for many years. They could be heard hurling insults and expressing their disbelief at his choice to sell the property.
In the background of the video, a man’s voice could be heard narrating the situation. He confirmed that the young man had indeed sold his father’s land for 50 million naira and had revealed his plans to use the money to invest in the music industry, with hopes of making a substantial profit. According to the narrator, the young man was convinced that the investment would yield a high return, enabling him to build a better future for himself and his family. However, the decision has clearly not sat well with his family members, who feel that selling the land was an ill-advised move that could have long-lasting consequences for the family’s legacy.
As the video continues to circulate online, it has drawn a significant amount of attention and sparked a heated debate on social media. Many users have taken to the comments section to express their opinions, with some defending the young man’s right to make decisions about his inheritance, while others criticize him for what they view as a reckless and short-sighted choice.
One of the comments, from @Ftee95, read: “He just wan double d money n buy better land 😝. Guess his father late already so he’s d father of d house now as he can do whatever.” This user seemed to suggest that the young man’s decision was motivated by a desire to increase the family’s wealth and that, as the new head of the household, he has the authority to make such choices.
Another user, @NURUDEENOLUSESI, jokingly commented: “Na last week game spoil him ticket 🎟️🤦🏿♂️😂 he go carry arsenal straight win against Bournemouth,” suggesting that the young man may have made the decision in frustration after suffering a recent financial loss, possibly related to sports betting.
On the other hand, @updatednaxzy offered some words of encouragement, writing: “The investment no yield. Some days are bad. Try again bro.” This comment appeared to sympathize with the young man’s situation, acknowledging that sometimes investments do not go as planned, but that he should not give up on his aspirations.
A more critical response came from @lumos1606, who said: “Make them sell am too use am buy the land back,” implying that the young man should be held accountable for his decision, perhaps by selling his own personal belongings to restore the family’s lost property.
The video and the comments it has generated have brought to light the complex issues surrounding inheritance, family obligations, and the risks associated with investing in uncertain ventures. While some see the young man’s actions as an attempt to take control of his future, others view them as a reckless gamble that could ultimately harm his family’s long-term stability.
