Popular content creator Ola of Lagos has opened up about a tough life lesson, revealing how an act of kindness once landed him in a staggering ₦18 million debt.
Ola of Lagos shares painful experience
Speaking during an online chat, the influencer admitted that he went into a business not entirely out of pity, but simply because he wanted to be “too nice,” a decision that eventually backfired.
“I once did a business, not really out of pity but out of being too nice, and it left me with an ₦18 million debt. Imagine having to pull ₦18 million from your pocket to settle a debt you shouldn’t have incurred in the first place. It makes no sense,” he said.
A lesson on kindness and boundaries
The content creator explained that the experience taught him an unforgettable lesson about setting boundaries while helping others.
He emphasised that although he still shows love to the streets, he now does it with wisdom and caution.
