Tweeps flooded the comment section to share their thoughts as some noted that there was no way his cousin could have bought a house within five months except with mortgage.

@Surplux commented:

"It's not possible to buy a duplex within 6months in Canada ....as if you don't pay tax and bills in Canada. Something fish is goin on."

@OluokunPaul reacted:

"Don’t be deceived the flat they bought is on mortgage and will probably take away 3/4 of the salary for the next 25-30 years before its paid up if its ever paid up due to regular remortgages. It is good to go abroad but it can become a final destination except for grace of God."

@OluokunPaul commented:

"There’s easy opportunity for loans to own a house and its the best but There’s always a catch somewhere in the deal except you get the support of very experienced people. If you plan to return within 10 years don’t get it and don’t have children young. Is that an option?"
