You Have Not Failed As A Guy If You Are Broke At 24 – Akin Alabi

Popular businessman and sport betting company founder, Akin Alabi, has come to reveal a shocking information about himself.

The Twitter user simply shared that any guy who is not financially buoyant at the age of 24 has failed as a man, however, Akin Alabi disclosed that at 24, he still relied on his mother for as little as N100.

His words, quoting the tweet from the Nigerian, “What kind of nonsense is this, this early morning? At 24, I still relied on my mother to give me as little as N100.”
