For years, I was the person everybody called when they needed help.
School fees? I contributed.
Hospital bills? I sent something.
Rent issue? I borrowed people money I couldn't even afford to lose.
So there was a time I became critically ill and was rushed to the hospital one Friday night and I needed ₦200,000 urgently, I wasn't worried.
I opened my contacts.
The first person didn't pick.
The second promised to call back.
The third said, "Things are tight right now."
Within two hours, I had exhausted every person I had helped over the years.
