Nigeria’s rich kids flaunt extreme wealth on Instagram

-

THE RICH kids of Instagram never disappoint when it comes to flaunting their extreme wealth on social media.

But it’s generally young people who hail from the UK, the US and Russia that are known for showing off their private jets, designer clothes and luxury holidays.

Now, however, they’ve got some stiff competitio­n from the wealthiest young people in Nigeria, whose exploits are documented by the Richkidsna­ija Instagram account.

Emeka Okonkwo, known as E-money, is the country’s youngest billionair­e through interests such as property, oil and gas and his own record label.

He owns multiple properties in Lagos and has kitted them out in lavish style with elaborate gold furnishing­s.

His party trick is to spray cash on the guests from a money gun at weddings.

Earlier this year, he sprayed 1 million naira (R43 616) on guests at the marriage of actor Mike Ezuruonye’s sister.

Rapper and designer Bayo Adewale, also known as Bnaira, is also fond of throwing cash around at parties.

He became known for his love of red cars while studying geography at the University of Lagos and worked his way up from a Honda Accord to supercars with personalis­ed plates in his signature colour. – Daily Mail
