“The actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in Ikoyi are living fake lives,” he stated.

“No actor in Nigeria would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone.”

Manuel revealed that he prefers to live a modest, grounded life, and doesn’t see the need for extravagant displays.

He suggested that many of his colleagues who show off luxury cars and lavish homes are often putting on a “fake” front.

For Manuel, simplicity speaks louder, and he finds satisfaction in keeping his lifestyle real.
