Controversial Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington, has said that it is more preferable to rent than to buy a house in a location that is not one’s homeland.
According to the rapper, possessing a house in a different state or region would limit a person’s ability to relocate quickly in case of unexpected circumstances. Speed Darlington advised that renting a home as a non-native resident would be a more appropriate option than buying land.
In a video shared on his TikTok page, the rapper stated that owning a house in a foreign country will affect one’s freedom.
He said;
“It’s better to rent than to buy houses, especially in another man’s land.
“If you buy a house, over time it [the place] gets crowded. [And] maybe you decide, I don’t like here anymore, e don cast; everybody know where I live now, I want to move to other part of the state or other part of the country.
“You can’t just pack your things and go. First, you need to sell that house. Only God knows when you are going to sell because not everybody has money to buy a house.
“So, now you are stuck at this address, and you can’t leave. Freedom is an asset.
“Freedom, the ability to pack up and disappear anytime. But if you rent, you can pack up and leave anytime.”
