She stated that her mum paid her rent for her and she didn't so much of skincare. In the comments, she added how she sorted out her medical bills.

She said:

"Technically, NHIS is supposed to cover medical expenses for corpers but I haven't been sick so it's not an expense that has come up. It's very little money and I don't save even 100 naira from it."
