Lady clears late mum's N55 million debt
The emotional video, posted by @mercytheinfluencer on TikTok, confirmed the extent of love and respect she has for her late mother.
Her mother had taken on the debt unaware she would pass away just six to months later, leaving her daughter to inherit the responsibility.
With her mother's passing, her role shifted from child to debtor, and efforts to seek external help proved fruitless.
Lawyers and insurance companies offered no solution, leaving her to shoulder the burden alone.
For three years, she worked tirelessly, channelling every earnings into repaying the debt, sacrificing her own enjoyment and well-being.
Her motivation was majorly the desire to honour her mother's memory and safeguard her reputation.
She shielded her mother's name from shame, silently bearing the weight of the debt for years.
Finally, the day arrived when the entire sum was cleared, freeing her from financial turmoil and causing her to dance with abandon.

While expressing her joy on social media, she vowed to focus on her own prosperity in 2026.
In her words:
"55 million naira. Cleared. I’m entering 2026 completely debt-free. For the past 3 years, I’ve worked harder than I ever have in my life, quietly, relentlessly, intentionally, clearing a debt my late mother left behind. A debt I took for her. A debt I never spent. A debt I never benefited from. I didn’t know she would pass away six months later. I only knew she was my mother and I would do anything for her. When she died, I became the debtor, not the daughter. Lawyers couldn’t help. Insurance couldn’t cover it.
"The system didn’t care about grief. So I carried it. Alone. I covered every track so no one would ever put my mother’s name to shame. I paid it silently. Year after year. Million after million. And now… it’s cleared. The debt is gone, but the woman it built? She’s just getting started. So when I say 2026 is my money-making year, I mean it with every brain cell in my body. I’ve made money, I couldn’t enjoy it. Everything went into responsibility. Into survival. Into honour. Now? I’m free. Watch what happens when an ambitious woman finally gets to live fully."
