What can we find inside this amazing house?
Firstly, there are swimming pools inside and outside. Secondly, there is an impressive glass-fenced garage for luxurious vehicles. Thirdly, if you need to get to the 4th floor, you can take an elevator that goes through the glass-pipe which is transparent and gives you impressive views of the house.
At last but not the least, several TVs are built into the floor (they are covered with high-quality glass so no one will break the screens or damage themselves). You hardly will find something similar in other houses of the Nigerian celebrities and wealthy people.
