During the interview, the popular skit maker was asked a question about money mistakes he made and now laughs about.
Zicsaloma disclosed that he bought a Range Rover Sport for over N30 million, hoping to enjoy the luxury of owning a high-end vehicle in Nigeria.
But the excitement didn’t last long as mechanical problems showed up, forcing him to spend a lot on repairs in no time.
According to the comedian, he spent about 10 million naira fixing the car within just three to four months, yet the problems refused to stop.

He explained that the situation became unbearable, leaving him with no option but to sell the vehicle for far less than its purchase value.
Zicsaloma revealed that he eventually sold the Range Rover for 11 million naira, making his total loss close to 29 million naira after factoring in the purchase and repair costs.
In his own words,
“I think it’s buying a Range Rover Sport. That was one of my worst financial mistakes.
“When I bought that car, I bought it for over 30 million. I sold it 11 million in 3 or 4 months time. And I spent about 10 million naira fixing the car in those three months.”
The content creator added that after all the stress, he practically made a huge loss from the entire transaction.
“So it’s just like I threw 30 million and got back 1 million, with a lot of stress,” he stated.
Zicsaloma also reflected on alternative uses for the money, suggesting it could have been invested in a business instead, which would have earned him a lot of profit.
