Abroad returnee squanders N35 million
The story was shared by @nikkisolomon0 on TikTok, who reiterated the pitfalls of reckless spending and the misguided notion that a lavish lifestyle is a guarantee for attracting a life partner.
According to the narrator, the lady had envisioned a life of luxury and ease, complete with a husband and all the trappings of success.
However, her failure to invest her savings wisely or establish a business led to a precipitous decline in her fortunes.
Within two years, the lady's N35 million had exhausted, leaving her in a precarious financial situation.
While sharing the story, the narrator sent out a warning to others who might be tempted to follow a similar path.
Rather than attracting a life partner, the lady's extravagant lifestyle only drew individuals and men who were intent on taking advantage of her.
She narrated:
"She saved N35 million and decided to move back to Nigeria from the UK. Before you make any decision, check it o. She went back to Nigeria saying she doesn't want to hustle again. She just wanted to live the life and get a husband and live a good life thinking that those expensive life she's living with the N35 million will get her a husband.
"Some of you ladies think that living an extravagant life will get you a husband. No. You will only attract boys who want to take advantage of you. This girl did not even set up a business with the N35 million she had in mind to set up. The money finished and she started begging money. Not even up to two years of moving back."
Commenting on the story, a UK-based lady, Cynthia Egeonu, said she won't return to Nigeria because of the working system abroad.
"I feel sad for her because she took a very wrong decision. Personally I am not relocating back to Nigeria unless I'm only visiting my family. I always choose a working system here than anything else."
