A Nigerian lady with small savings box called piggy bank (Kolo) saved
N500,000 from February 2016. She reportedly started saving every extra change
she had at the end of every day. Sometimes, the amount was N200, sometimes
N1000. When the vault was opened at the end of 2016, she was amazed to realise
she had saved for herself N489, 500 (Approximately $1,100).
Every regular Nigerian has had to use at some point when growing
up, back then it was a norm – and still is – for Parents to insist that
their kids make use of this boxes and save every penny they have, in an attempt
to inculcate a saving attitude in them. But somewhere along the way while
growing up, I’m sure you’ve probably had an opportunity to scoff and rebel
at the idea. Well, this Nigerian lady is exemplary and one whom some strict
parents will definitely be happy to sing her heroics to their kids.
Story was shared online by a social media user who says you too
