In a video post, he offered an inside look at the property, highlighting its exterior, interior, and celebrating the moment alongside his wife, Pashotah. Captioning the video, Egungun reflected on the journey to this achievement and offered words of inspiration: “Congratulations to me and my FAMILY @pashotah _princenala congratulations. It’s not the people who sit down and criticize that matter. It’s not those who point fingers and say, ‘You could have done it better.’ The real respect goes to the person who tries. The one who shows up, works hard, gets tired, makes mistakes, and sometimes fails. Because nobody can try without messing up sometimes. That person still keeps going. They believe in something. They give their energy to a good cause. If they succeed, great – they’ve achieved something big. If they fail, at least they failed while trying. They will never be like those people who do nothing, say nothing, and stand aside – people who never win and never lose because they never even tried.” The post celebrates not only Egungun’s new home but also his philosophy of persistence, hard work, and resilience in the face of challenges. This milestone comes in the wake of a viral interview with US streamer IShowSpeed in Lagos, which drew significant attention online. Fans have since flooded the post with messages of congratulations, celebrating both his achievement and his determination. View this post on Instagram
