Few, if any, modern kings become destitute after being deposed. More often than not, they’d already acquired enough fortunes to last for several generations and thus continue to live like royalty after their ouster. Just ask Kayode Fayemi. The former governor of Ekiti State hasn’t missed a beat since he left office. He recently acquired a multimillion Naira mansion in Ikeja GRA

For the minister of mines and his ilk, loss of position has little to no effect on their pockets. If anything, the pension they receive sometimes cumulatively dwarf however much they were making as office holders. Thus, the party of lavish spending never stops. They paint the town red, spend humongous sums on the latest wonder of wheels in the market, and commission A-list architects to design the most opulent and masterfully-crafted palatial mansions imaginable.

Not willing to be left out of the spending spree, Fayemi has been doing his best to keep up with the Joneses. As one of the men currently serving as ministers in the current government, he is not ready to concede the battle of who can buy up the choicest properties just yet. The mansion he reportedly purchased in Ikeja is of such magnificence that would send even owners of Hollywood real estate into spasms of wonder.
