Aside from that, @kunmigbenga stated that the gateman does laundry for five people every weekend at N1,500 each and makes around N30k from that alone.
@kunmigbenga added that the gateman has a small farm at the back where he grows yam and pepper, which he sells to the tenants in the estate.
He further claimed that the gateman has two bike riders who deliver returns to him daily. From his calculation, the farmer believes the gateman would be making over N500k monthly, which left him in shock. The farmer's tweet read:
"The gateman in our section of the estate earns a N70k monthly salary.
"We have 16 flats and about 15 cars in the compound. He washes our cars every day for N1k each because it’s cheaper than taking them to a car wash.
"He also does laundry for 5 people every weekend at N1,500 each. That’s another N30k monthly. Then I sat down to calculate everything… Omo, this guy is making close to N550k every month.
"As if that’s not enough, he has a small farm at the back where he grows yam and pepper. He sells to us in the compound, and even has 2 Okada that comes to deliver from him daily.
"Omo, I just realized say na this guy fat pass all of us wey dey compound. . If he no buy pepper soup for me this weekend make I bend."
