If ₦2k disappears from my account like this, someone would need to revive me.] Her finances are much better now, thanks to a pay raise in May. “When I saw the alert of ₦910k, I checked the payroll. The person whose name was next to mine had the same salary, so I thought it was a sorting mistake and I was paid another person’s salary. I sent a quick WhatsApp text to my boss explaining the error, and she just said, “It’s not an error. You’ll be briefed tomorrow. Goodnight”. Ah. How was I supposed to sleep that night?” But she isn’t exactly satisfied with the new income. “I still have a lot of heavy black taxes. I’ll only be really happy when my siblings have jobs and are less dependent on me. If I lose my job today, I’m not the only one who’ll go hungry. So I’m never fully settled or have peace of mind.” [Read her NairaLife here](=.xVWIVeAndz86UMpArSufZ72Ab55SXpoUcDwne4FURME) *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 Does your pastor own a Ferrari or Lamborghini?
