Two years ago, I dey Agege Market dey sell provisions. I get one friend, we call am Mama Ngozi. She dey sell cloth for next shop. We dey talk everyday, she dey help me arrange my goods when customer plenty.One day, she say make I open new bank account, say the bank dey give better interest. She say she get connection for the bank, say she go help me deposit my savings. I trust am. I give am my whole savings, 350,000 naira. Na money wey I dey save for years, money for my children school fees.She say she go deposit am the next morning. That night, she no come back to her shop. Her shop dey locked. Her phone no dey go through. I wait, I pray, I wait again. Three days later, I hear say she don pack her things and leave Agege for good.I was heartbroken. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. My husband say make I go police, but police no fit find am. I nearly lost my shop because I no get money to restock.But God no abandon me. My market people, dem rally round me. Dem contribute small small, dem help me start again. I learn my lesson: never mix friendship with business. No matter how close you be, money matter no be joke. Since that day, I dey keep my money for my own account, and I no dey tell anybody my business.I forgive Mama Ngozi, but I never forget. E dey pain me still, but I thank God say I survive am.
