In a TikTok video by @barrykay120, the lady said she started the savings because she saw that it was trending on TikTok in 2024.
She said she and her friend decided to save for 2025 but her friend already opened her bus.
Her words:
“Guys, it's officially a year I began this kolo challenge. I saw a lot of videos going on TikTok last year so I decided to give ot a try. Actually I started this thing with my friend but it seems she has broken hers. So let’s see how much I was able to save in here for the past one year.”
She captioned the video:
"Break my kolo with me. I was struggling with the screw driver so I decided to break it instead. Really tired of those Hausa bike me. Me thinking that my money will buy me benz. Being delulu right? Let's find out. I didn't want to add old note cause during the new naira note scarcity then I suffered. To be on the safer side, I saved new notes only."
She brought out the money and after counting, revealed that she saved N180,400, stating that she was going to spend it all alone.

In a chat with Legit.ng, a woman identified as Pookie shared her experience with saving in piggy bank, also known as 'kolo'.
She said:
"Before 2025, I have not saved in kolo before. I didn't expect anything, so I can't say if what I got was higher or lesser, it was just there. And yes, I'll be doing it again because I want to learn this saving culture and I also want to imbibe my older daughter.
"I was even regretting why I opened it. It's not like I needed the money for anything. I didn't really need to do anything; I just wasted that money, you get. So, maybe next year I'll just save, even if it's December and if the pressure of everybody unboxing their kolo, I'll still leave my own, except I have an emergency or I really need the money."
