Zainab_tinu said:

"Whether we believe it or not, this is one of the reasons that got us where we are today in this country. Cash stored at home or anywhere else has no benefit for anyone even for the saver. You are gradually removing money from circulation. If this money was in a bank for instance, the person will have gotten his money, gotten interest no matter how little and the money would have been turned around."

Yinkabid stated:

"The heart of man is desperately wicked. People have d1ed in Nigeria because of hunger and people have committed su1c1de because of debt."

Sweet_ramzy commented:

"I do this well but I pour white powder inside the safe through the hole to avoid stories like this I keep the money for months and it still comes out in good conditions."
