Back in 2020 , I was scammed of $13000 which I was supposed to use to build a business with a friend. Well I was bored staying at home so I used my dads money he gave me to keep for the past 6 months to use which I was scammed of because I figured why not use this money for a something that will yield more profits than for it to just lie around .Hmm things didn’t go as planned because the person I trusted to do business with run away with the money .I lost the money , my parents trust . For reference I come from a typical African home so just imagine what I went through , I had to kneel and beg my parents every midnight after that incident for 3 months to ask for forgiveness even though my parents hadn’t told me I was forgiven but I figured I was because after all I’m still your child right ? but I paid for the consequences of my action ; my school fees was not paid for two years so i had to defer my course.
Well not to forget the African parents routine of all family members knowing hmm the embarrassment is still fresh in memory.
I was devastated so I needed to find a way to pay my fees that when I stumbled on making money online , did my research and came across Instagram theme pages because I wanted some thing low risk.

- Even though this may sound easy but it took me 15 months to make my first $10,000 from theme pages, i literally wanted to give up many times because after 8 month of starting i was stuck at 7000 followers for 3 months but after that my content blew and gained 500k followers.
