In less than three months, his friends left his apartment to their own rented flats. Dapo decided to bring two of his sisters who were staying at Ijebu with their parents to Lagos. In no time, he brought them to stay with him.

Dapo’s sisters became hot cakes on the street. Men whisper to one another when they pass by. Dapo became a Lagos superstar because of his sisters.

What added another feather to his cap, was the fact that his sisters were highly educated, so unlike Dapo who managed to bag a secondary school certificate and could not further his education, his sisters are university graduates.
