The story goes:
“A friend of mine was earning N700k per month at a 9 to 5 job in Lagos. So he had a very decent apartment, drove a nice car, had a girlfriend who love soft life. He wasn’t really rich, but he was very very comfortable. Then one day, his boss called him and said to him, he told him ‘you have really been an asset to this company, but we are making some changes so we have to let you go. Just like that, his entire life flipped upside down. Within three months, he could barely afford rent, his girlfriend needed space. He went from hanging out at expensive spots to avoiding calls from friends. It hit him that his comfort had been an illusion.”
Soyeye said it is always good for one to prepare for such events in life before they would even happen.
