Lady shares amount she saved in piggy box

As she opened her box, she spoke about the myth she had heard about money disappearing from piggy banks.

She said such might have happened to her because the amount she realised was less than she thought she’d get.

After counting and arranging her money, the lady revealed that she had received N229,700, but she was expecting N500,000.

She said:

“What do you do with the money saved in kolo? Do you put it back as baseline for the next year or spend it ? “
