The first Naira Life story was published in February 2019 and since then, we’ve been putting out the most honest stories about Nigerians and their money.
Today, I’m happy to be sharing the 200th Naira Life story.
This Naira Life isn’t just special because of its number. It’s such an interesting read. At one point, I had to put both my hands on my head because of what I was reading.
Share the story and please join our Twitter space later this week, we want to talk about the impact of these stories, and I’m sure you’d want to be there.

#NairaLife: She’s Tired of Being Her Family’s Financial Backup Plan
Today’s story is a masterclass in the non-linear nature of life. One day you have a job offer. You reply too late, and now it’s gone.
This 27-year-old lawyer is the last of six children in a family that grew up very poor. Now that she’s making money, her family looks to her for their daily bread, and she’s tired.
An excerpt: “In addition to taking care of her children, my mum also takes care of all her siblings and my dad’s siblings too. So when her mum died, everyone looked to her to sponsor the funeral. She told them the money was for my law school, and they said they didn’t care.“
