His current appearance bears no resemblance to his background. Haggard and unkempt, Michael, a son of a billionaire, looks what he is: a tramp. How did he come to his current state?
In time past, he belonged to the caucus of children born with silver spoons in their mouth. But now, he dwells in the dirty part of a neighbourhood, where his grandparents has once held sway. That is where he now strives hard to eke out a living.
Today, a reversal of fortune seems to have set in for Michael, son of a one-time popular billionaire car dealer on Allen Avenue in Ikeja. Unlike some of his peers whose fortune has turned better, Michael’s has become worse.
findings have revealed that Michael, who used to live in one of his father’s mansions in the heart of Ikeja, has now turned into a full time street urchin.
According to sources, Michael, who is now a school drop-out, spends his daily income which he makes from washing cars, on hard drugs he has allegedly been addicted to from those days when the going was good for him and his dad.
His travails, according to sources, started two years ago when his father allegedly became bankrupt and had to sell all his property, including his houses and his fleet of cars, thus rendering his children homeless, including Michael.
“Michael has been a drug addict from the time his dad was in money. The man did not have time for him because he had many wives. The boy himself was not serious. He would abandon school and start spending the money given to him on drugs. When the man sold all his property, he did not look back because he had given up on him.
“Now the boy begs to wash cars for the people to survive. But instead of saving part of what he makes from that, he spends everything on drugs every day. If you come here every night, you ‘ll see him among the touts taking hard drugs,” said one of his friends who preferred anonymity.
Although he admitted being the son of the said billionaire car dealer, Michael declined comments on what actually pushed him to his current condition.got this from saturday mirror....well wish him all the best.
