She explained that the decision had been planned for a long time and was not related to comments about her appearance or health.

Nigerian actor Timini Egbuson has revealed a shocking part of his past. He admitted that he once borrowed money to maintain a flashy lifestyle.

During a recent podcast, he shared how he began investing and spending more wisely.

He said “There will always be a newer watch, a newer car. I used to be a perfume collector. I had about 150. But I realised that I could have invested the money I spent acquiring perfumes in purchasing land…”

“I’m not trying to talk down on having a nice car or watch. But are you doing it for yourself or because of peer pressure? Are you genuinely happy with it? And without it, would you still be happy?”

“I used to be that guy who lived a fake life and borrowed to impress people. But not anymore.”
