His tweet reads:
"I purchased & installed my first ATM machine today .. passive Income all 2021."
It is not common to find private individuals owning ATM machines and this raised eyebrows with many people questioning whether his action had legal backing.
Some others remarked that his was another form of wallet and wasn't in any way special.

"can someone explain how this is worth while like i would imagine it wouldn’t make more than 20 dollars a day in transaction fees but idk maybe i just never use atms."
@BundyFGoxx commented:
"Depending on location he can make bank off the fees over the weekend, in the mornings during rush hour, in bases of travel: airports, train stations..
"It’d be smart to place them around places that accept cash only."
@DeZhuoreVu wondered:
"At the risk of sounding dumb (but I’m being genuine I swear) after buying the machine, you put your own money in there to get going? Take out a loan? What."
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a Nigerian boy had displayed creativity as he built a piggybank that works just like an ATM.
In a video that was shared by Channels TV, the young boy could be seen operating the piggybanks he made for kids.
The boy named Afolayan, who said he wants to be an engineer, noted that his family and friends have been supportive morally and financially.
The young boy used cartons and switch to build the piggybank. Nigerians were impressed with the invention.
