According to him, his troubles started when he was trying to relocate abroad and borrowed a lot of money from several sources to fund the process.
He stated that when the relocation plan failed, it left him with more than N10 million in debt. Sadly, at that time, he was earning a monthly salary of N85,000.
Man in debt over failed Japa plan
The man explained that most of the loans came from digital lending platforms with high interest rates, as well as from a few individuals he owed money.
He then revealed that he was arrested and spent two nights in custody. This, he said, was the breaking point for him.
When the parents later found out about this, the mother, instead of condemning him, stepped in to support him.

He said his mother used over N2 million, which she had saved for two building projects, and also sold some of her old gold jewellery to help reduce the debt pressure.
According to him, the sacrifice gave him the breathing space he needed to begin rebuilding his life.
In the X post, he said:
"When my parents found out, the shame almost finished me. I felt like God should kpai me instead of facing them. But my mum, hmm, she stepped in like an angel. She took every kobo she had saved, and a few of her old gold jewelry, over N2 million meant for completing her two building projects, and paid to reduce the heat. That single act broke something inside me, but in a good way. It gave me breathing space.
After that, my salary increased to N150,000. I committed to paying back N100,000 every month without fail, and I kept at it until early 2025. The road was brutal! discipline, sacrifice, many “no” to things I wanted, I sold my TV and 🏍️, but I refused to let my mum’s sacrifice go to waste.
My mother became my biggest reason to keep pushing."
