I don't totally agree with Neo - Femi Fabunmi
Sports analyst Femi Fabunmi, currently enjoying the crowded city of Abidjan for the 2023 AFCON, had a different observation from the BBNaija star.
"I agree with Neo to an extent, but not totally. There are similarities and differences between Lagos and Abidjan. From what I have seen, there are highbrow and rural areas in the city.
"In the Urban area, there are skyscrapers, but you wouldn't find any in the rural areas. Yes, Suzuki and Ford are their most used cars here, and they cost a fortune. Their taxis use Suzuki as transport, and it's very common here.
"There are public transports too, with at least a conductor attached to it. The difference between the rich and the poor is so small in Abidjan.There are jobs, and the people don't lack money. In Abidjan, as long as you are not lazy, you will always find something to do."
Neo shows off father’s palatial mansion
BBNaija star Neo Akpofure caused a buzz on social media after he shared a video of his father's house.
