Olu Maintain sang his way to the top of A-list acts in Nigeria when he released his celebratory track Yahoozee, but this season seems to be short of celebratory reasons for the crooner. News reaching BASELINE is that Mr. Olu has sold his Anthony Village three bed room flat that served as his residence.

A copy of the transfer of ownership made available to BASELINE shows that Mr. Olu had secured a loan from a new generation bank to finance the purchase of the house with the agreement to service the loan periodically. After servicing the loan for a period of time, we gathered the singer couldn’t sustain payments for the house any longer, hence his decision to allow the bank to take over the sale of the house.

As you read this, the house has been sold and Olu has been settled with the deposit he paid for the house. As for his new residence, BASELINE will surely keep you posted.

I read this story yesterday and noticed the fake headline immediately.

Selling your home means you foreclosed and lost it?

May be you need to learn how to read :

A copy of the transfer of ownership made available to BASELINE shows that Mr. Olu had secured a loan from a new generation bank to finance the purchase of the house with the agreement to service the loan periodically. After servicing the loan for a period of time, we gathered the singer couldn’t sustain payments for the house any longer, hence his decision to allow the bank to take over the sale of the house.

As you read this, the house has been sold and Olu has been settled with the deposit he paid for the house. As for his new residence, BASELINE will surely keep you posted.

Aloy.Emeka:

May be you need to learn how to read :

tell your sources to get their facts right.

Whoever actually sold the house makes all the difference.



Did Olu maintain sell his house:

Mr. Olu has sold his Anthony Village three bed room flat that served as his residence

or did the bank sell it:

After servicing the loan for a period of time, we gathered the singer couldn’t sustain payments for the house any longer, hence his decision to allow the bank to take over the sale of the house.

[size=14pt]As you read this, the house has been sold and Olu has been settled with the deposit he paid for the house[/size]

Olu's house was foreclosed you slowpoke. Olu's decision was based on the terms of the loan so he can recoup his deposit. If he didn't allow them to sell it, he stands to lose everything. At least he got the N200k he deposited back.

Who is that?

This reminds me of craig davids Rise and Fall.

Too much yahoozee
