"Price : 1million naira only. Size : 44/45
"Money needed to support my personal business.
"I run a business. I took a 300k loan from a relative to start this business. The value of the business has grown to 900k within 4months.
"I have repaid the loan and I wish to maximize the business by taking a bigger loan. Please where can I access a bigger loan of up to 10m?"

"Victor won't be happy you sold a gift he gave you and this will make him not to give out his belongings because people will end up selling it. If you don't want it give it to someone else."
