The subject is a better person than I am. Because how come she was still willing to give everything when romantic partners showed her shege?] One partner ran with her money… twice “The first time was a ₦300k loan — basically an investment. He was into movie production and said he needed it for a movie. I borrowed the money through an ajo contribution with my friends. When he defaulted, my friends started disturbing me about it, and I had to involve my mum. She was the one who helped me settle the money. So, I couldn’t even tell her when he did the same thing again a year later with goods worth ₦150k.” She hasn’t had much luck with businesses either “I stretched my agri-business till 2022 by collecting grains on credit, but the economy became too unfavourable. By then, the investors had gotten back their capital, but I was still owing about ₦13m in profit and ROI. But some of them grew tired of waiting and arrested me. I slept in the cell for a day before my family came to release me.” [Read her NairaLife here](=.EzRZlAfvGpKSPZIB6auuEksO-ijzPjJpbKolMbu2A64) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 2 She has a ghosting problem, and it’s due to emotional abuse One day, Ola woke up and blocked everyone she knew on and offline.
