I trusted my friend with my savings, she ran away with everything

Two years ago, I give my childhood friend Zainab all my savings to start a small farm supply business. We grow up together, she was like sister to me. She said she get connection for cheap seeds and fertilizer.

Three months later, I discover she don use the money to pay her husband debt. When I confront her, she just say sorry and disappear. I lost everything, almost 2 million naira. I was broken, wallahi. But that pain push me to start Northern AgroConnect from scratch.

Now I connect over 3,000 farmers to buyers. The lesson? Never mix friendship and money without paper. Trust God, but put everything in writing. You think you know person, but money can change anybody.
