According to her, no one advised her to invest after winning the money, as they were only interested in what they could get from her.

She claimed she did a lot of boreholes for family members and supported them whenever they came to her.

“I thought I was helping my family sort out things. I thought I was normal. No money they call, na so I dey share am like mumu,” she confessed.

According to her, none of the adults around encouraged her to save or invest. Instead, she faced endless requests ranging from boreholes to roofing materials.

She admitted that her money began running low, forcing her to cut down on how much she gave out.

“Somebody will ask for 1 million, I’ll say, ‘Okay, wait, let me give you 500,000,’” she explained.
