One day, I was bored and decided to explore around my house when I found some money on the floor.
It wasn’t anything that would have made me Elon Musk, but it was free money, and even though, it was less than a dollar, I imagined all the things I could get with it.
It might sound crazy when I say “all the things” but, if you are Nigerian, you would understand that a dollar is worth so much here and with the way our economy is going, I think very soon, we might be able to buy cars with a dollar.
Anyways, I began planning about what I would get with the money, however, I was scared to pick it up because, well, in Nigeria, when people pick up money that isn’t there’s, they either are said to turn into yams or a goat and while life would be easier as a goat, I didn’t want to take chances.
At that point, I contemplated walking away without the money, but, after taking a few steps, I began considering how delicious noodles would be, and trust my stomach to always win.
Going back to where I found the money, I decided to try a few things that people would say to do if you ever found money on the floor, hoping that I could escape spending my life as a yam.
Step one: Find someone to pee on the money, preferably a small child and this might sound disgusting but, I didn’t care.
I found my nephew and had to strike a deal that I would give him some of my noodles, and he did the needful.
Step two: Buy a cain and flog the money, just in case there is an evil spirit in it.
To do this, I had to send my nephew to my neighbors to get a cain on credit because I planned on using the money to pay.
Step three: dance around the money.
I don’t know what this did or didn’t do, but I danced like never before; I would have inserted a video of me dancing but I don't want y'all blind, well, after doing this, I picked up the money, rinsed it with water, and let it dry.
I was so excited while waiting for it to dry, and I decided that I would add another dollar to it which was my last money so that we could buy drinks also, but when I went to my pocket it was empty and there was a hole.
Immediately after realizing that, it hit me that I had been acting like a fool for money that belonged to me and I didn’t only act a fool but, I was now owing to my neighbor and my nephew.
I still got the noodles but, trust me when I say that it wasn’t as nice as I thought it would be in the end.

This is really funny.i laughed almost all through while reading the post. Things boredom make us do.
It's crazy the things we do indeed.
You should have poured sand also 😅😅😅
Even if the money is already on top sand, you need to pour a new sand 🤦♂️ that's the reason why there was hole there.
If you had told me earlier, I would have shown you some tactics 😅
😆 just imagine, so the menu disappeared from my pocket because I didn't pour sand
😒😒😒😒
You dunno that little things matter
🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
😆 no worries, next time.
I'll be waiting ooo 😅😏

I don't even know which sentence to quote😂😂😂
You say you acted like a fool but compared to me using my phone's flashlight... to look for the same phone,
You're a genius

Infact your post entertained so much that I have decided to send you 1000 dollars... 1000 ZIMBABWEAN dollars

I thought we were joking na
This wasn't part of our agreement 😂😂😂
Abi is that so, you are scamming me.
Gasp!
I would never scam you... on purpose
🌚🌚🌚
On purpose ni, you try.
This had me laughing as I was thinking haha it is her money, damn girl you did all that hocus-pocus stuff and it was yours all along
Where were the noodles for me though!
I did all that rubbish for money that is my own and crazy thing is my nephew told everyone at home about it and they all laughed at me.
lol well being able to laugh at ourselves is a great quality. It is an icebreaker too and makes you look human! I bet your nephew was laughing while telling everyone hehe
He was so excited especially since he ate free food from me.
hehe yea food for a kid is awesome, I know I would have been excited too!
Food for even me is always awesome so I can imagine and since we had been trying to cut down and eating noodles, it was a treat.
oh if you are cutting down and as we are talking about noodles, then I think I shall make a packet of instant noodles for lunch, that is quick and tasty"
This really cracked me up...lol
I am glad it did.
Your own money lol, at least you did all the rituals for the bad energies.
It was wasted ritual trough 😭
