 Thank God for autobiographies o.... If not how we for know. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar recently wrote a book titled "My Life" where he detailed his life experiences and all. He also gave us an insight into how he built his first house at 15......Wow, Can we please give him a round of applause... Read an excerpt from the book below:
“I was granted a plot of land by the Gongola State Government at Yola Government Reserved Area. I hired a foreman and began building my first house. With close personal supervision, the bungalow was completed on time and to my taste. I rented it out immediately. The rent I collected in advance on the house was substantial enough for me to purchase a second plot.  I built my second house and rented it out. I continued to plow back the rent into the building of new houses and within a few years, I had built eight houses in choice areas of Yola. I also built a new house for my mother and rebuilt the old mud house I bought for her in Ganye when I was a 15-year-old student.”
