Nedu Wazobia, a prominent media figure, has asserted that one cannot attain the status of a role model in Nigeria while being poor.

Nedu made this known during a recent podcast with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

While discussing the detrimental effects of money on society, Nedu observed that people no longer respect or pick poor people as role models.

Speaking in the snippet of the interview shared on his Instagram page, Nedu also claimed that many ladies residing in the Lekki area of Lagos state can’t afford their rent.

“You can’t be a role model when you don’t have money in Nigeria. Most women wey dey live for Lekki, na men dey pay their rent.”
