People dey suffer sha,” and TBH, it’s a valid summary of this subject’s story. She’s been through a lot.] She was her family’s breadwinner. “I left the clothing store after working for a year in 2021. I was tired and needed space to think about my life. I decided I wouldn’t look for another job. I’d use the time to find a handiwork to earn so I could make something of myself. But that decision only lasted like three months. Things were so hard at home. My dad would go out and come back without money, and my siblings had to eat. Even if I wanted to close my mind to my own needs, I couldn’t just watch them starve. I was getting a little pocket money here and there from my boyfriend, but it wasn’t enough for us all.” Now, she regrets it. “The pressure to provide for everyone was too much and was part of what pushed me to my baby’s father — he was giving me small small money at the time. Now, see where that’s gotten me. I’m okay where I am, please. At least if money enters my hand now, I can focus on school, not what someone will eat.” [Read her NairaLife here](=.4fsDlMr3iza6YHGiDg87Aau8-A5xsvobNhILo4PLwZ4) *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](#) --> One Story to Read Today We ranked BBNaija bedrooms There’s no privacy on BBNaija, but when has that ever stopped housemates from organising genital meet-and-greets?
