Amazing! Man get’s 33% off house rent after claiming “Fela Durotoye is my father”
How old are the children Tara has so far born for Fela Durotoye, her husband? How old?
It’s now obvious Mr. Durotoye has other children elsewhere. Yes, well outside the holy matrimony that binds him to Tara for life.
A man who was probably as old (or even older) than Durotoye introduced himself as the public speaker’s son and was not doubted.
The man was trying to negotiate his house rent from N180,000 to N150,000.
After the landlady realised the man was Durotoye’s “son,” she slashed the rent by 33%.
“Don’t worry, I believe you,” she told the man after he claimed Durotoye “is my father.”
Fela Durotoye shared the story at the pre-induction training for members of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) in Lagos on Wednesday.
“He said while he was negotiating, he noticed one of my books on her bookshelf,” Durotoye related what his “son” said.
“The landlady said it is a great book that changed the lives of her children. The woman said to him ‘God bless Fela Durotoye’. Then he told the woman ‘Madam, do you know that I am his son’?
“’How do you mean?’ she asked. He said Fela Durotoye is my spiritual father and mentor. The lady asked if he was serious and he offered to call me.
“Don’t worry,” the landlady said. “You can pay N120,000.”
Apparently, the woman believed anyone Durotoye mentored would have a positive impact on those around them. A wise mother would want that around her children.
Negotiation completed.
The hall erupted in applause and laughter after Durotoye shared the story.
Did you know?
The woman who gave birth to Fela Durotoye calls him “father.” You would have known if you’ve heard him speak.
Meanwhile…
