🧠 How My Village People Almost Collected My First Salary (Part 1)

After one full year of job hunting, prayer points, fasting, and one late-night Zoom vigil where my pastor told me to “sow a dangerous seed” (with money I didn’t even have), I finally got a job.

It wasn’t anything serious — ₦65,000 per month — but at least I could stop calculating my life with sachet indomie and “urgent 2k.”

Two weeks later, they sent us half salary “to test the system.” No wahala.

That afternoon, I saw the alert:
₦32,500 CREDITED.

I nearly screamed, “God no go shame us!” in the middle of my compound.

I dressed up, powdered my face a little, and walked to the ATM like someone whose enemies just got evicted from her destiny.

After withdrawing ₦5,000, I stepped aside to count the money. I already planned my celebration: one cold malt and that big meat pie from the supermarket — the one that smells like wealth.

Then one old man walked up to me gently.

> “My daughter, please… I need ₦500 to go home. My son sent money, but it's not reflecting.”

Normally, I don’t like giving money near ATM. But this man looked so tired… and for some reason, the way he spoke reminded me of my late grandfather. I just couldn’t ignore him.

So I gave him ₦1,000 — no change, no stress.

He smiled and said:

“God bless you. Your pocket will never dry.”
I smiled back. “Amen, sir.”

He sat under a mango tree near the ATM and started sipping pure water like someone that just won a case in court.

I walked home, feeling like the kindest woman alive. I even posted on WhatsApp:

> “No matter how small you have, try help person today. It won’t kill you.”

But when I got home and opened my banking app to check something…

I paused.

I blinked.

I refreshed the page.

Something wasn’t adding up.

To be continued…

"5 Signs You’re Getting Better With Money (Even If You Don’t Feel Like It)"

It’s not always about having millions—sometimes progress looks like this:

1. You check your bank balance before spending.

2. You’ve started saving something—no matter how small.

3. You say “no” to unnecessary spending.

4. You’re learning about investing, not just spending.

5. You feel guilty buying things you don’t need.

Progress is quiet—but powerful.
If any of these sound like you, you’re on the right path.
