Uche Edochie recalls selling his new car to start all over after his houses were demolished

Uche Edochie, one of the sons of actor Pete Edochie, has recounted his ordeal after building two mansions and buying a car only to lose it all.

He explained that he had a plan for how his life would go and he was on track.

He said he purchased a BMW Series Gran Tourismo for $100,000 in 2012.

Then in 2013, he started building a mansion and a duplex, unaware that it was on marshy land and others who had built in the area lost their homes.

After building, he said his house began dipping below the water level and he had no choice but to demolish both structures. 

He then had to sell his car to start all over.

He explained that attempting to rebuild took years because the economy had taken a nosedive and government officials were also attacking.

He said it was a tough period but he eventually came out of that ordeal.

Speaking of the lesson he learnt from his ordeal, he wrote, “Good times teach us nothing. We grow more in adversity. So pain is essential.”
