The businessman also advised social media users not to build a house with their savings.

He said that without being financially stable, one could quickly go broke after investing in a building project.

Building to decking in 6 days

In conversation with Legit.ng, Genga Muritala, an expert builder, did not entirely agree such a project could be built in six days.

He said:

"The digging of the foundation itself takes time. Even if labourers worked nights; achieving that within six days is impossible from my experience."
