A lady has tearfully taken to social media to share her disappointment after discovering only N6,500 in her piggybank despite saving N10K daily for an entire year. The emotional outburst was captured in a viral video that has since garnered widespread attention and sympathy from online users.
The TikTok user, @darkgirlyouknow1, uploaded the video to the video-sharing platform, explaining how she had spent the past year diligently saving her money with high hopes of amassing a significant amount of cash in her piggybank. Each day, she made it her task to deposit N10K into the savings box, expecting to break the bank after one year and find a large sum.
However, to her utter shock, upon breaking the piggybank at the end of the year, she discovered that it was almost empty, containing only N6,500 instead of the expected large sum. Her disappointment was evident in the video as she recounted her experience, expressing her disbelief at how her efforts to save had resulted in such a meager outcome.
In the caption of the video, she wrote, “I am healed now. I wonder how I saved N10K daily for one year and I open kolo to see N6,500. Omo please never save your life savings inside kolo.” Her post quickly went viral, with numerous users reacting and sharing their own similar experiences of lost or disappointing savings in their piggybanks.
