The comedian and singer took to social media to caution his fans against buying vehicles they cannot afford to maintain.
Efe shared that he took his Mercedes Benz to a mechanic after it broke down, only to be handed a repair bill that left him shocked.
He emphasised that while Benz vehicles are attractive, they come with heavy financial demands many do not anticipate.
“For those of Una wey dey feel say you wan buy motor, motor no be one thing wey dey dey buy oo,” he said in pidgin.
“No go buy Benz o. Benz are not for small boys. Only this morning alone my Benz don collect 3.4 million naira.”
