“I Need to Invest It”: A Nigerian thrift trader has excitedly shown off the money she found in a bag she was going to sell to someone

• Nigerian Lady Flaunts Foreign Currencies She Found in Her Okrika Bag, Video Causes Stir
• In pockets of the bag, she found denominations of the Chinese currency Yuan which was over N60k
• Showcasing the money, she jocularly said she has began pricing houses and would invest the cash

A Nigerian lady has proudly flaunted the foreign currencies she found in an okrika (bale or thrift) bag she bought.

According to the thrift trader, the bag had already done two days with the dry cleaner and was to be sold.

It was at the point of doing a video to showcase it to a potential customer that she found the Chinese currencies in its pockets.

She counted three 100 yuan bills and a 50 bill which amounted to close to N70k. The excited lady flaunted the cash, joking that she has begun pricing house and may invest the money.

She said it is quite surprising that such an amount would be found in this economy. The lady noted that it is a throwback and not a recent discovery. She said the last time she found such, she gave it to a neighbour’s daughter. Her TikTok post reads:

“It’s throwback Thursday and I’m throwing it back to when I found money in my thrift find this is my third time finding cash and I remember the first time I found money I didn’t take it serious I dash my neighbor ms daughter not until someone called my attention that I just gave away 8k since that day anything I find in my thrift find I try to find our before discarding it sha I want to believe this is a way of Allah and my hustle paying back for the days I’ve run short and lost money in this business. Hopefully I’ll share a video of some of the things I thrifted but couldn’t even sell (my losses).”
