After expressing his dissatisfaction with what he called the startling lifestyle disparity he consistently saw in Abuja, a social media user ignited a contentious discussion.
He claims that too many people in the city pay their gatemen only 30,000 naira a month despite living in homes valued at 100–200 million naira, owning powerful V8 engines, and sending their kids to schools that cost more than a million naira per term.
He didn’t hold back and called it wickedness, especially considering that these same gatemen take care of everything: car washes, compound cleaning, flower trimming, running errands for the whole family, maintaining the generator house, and even spending the night on the property to deal with invaders.
