I recently saw this on a
hair facebook group page. The lady who posted it is a Ghanaian and she was
challenging her readers to save 1378 GHC. Unfortunately I don’t think 1378
naira would be quite substantial so I think it is best to say that modifying it
is important for us Nigerians if we want to benefit from the challenge.
I think depending on your
capability, instead of 1 naira you can equate 1 dollar to either 10 naira,
20 naira, 50 naira, 100 naira and higher even 10000 naira if you have so much
money. It means if you equate 1 dollar to 10 naira, at the end of the 52 weeks
if you are consistent you would have 13780 naira. If you equate it to 100
naira, you would have 137800 naira. And if you equate 1 dollar to 10000naira
and stick with the program you should have 13,780,000 naira.
So the more you put the
more money you would have at the end of the challenge. However you need to be consistent and fix a certain
amount at the beginning of the challenge. No need starting with 5000 naira for
week 1-5 then reducing to 3000 naira afterwards. If it is 50 naira you decide
to start with, you have to stick with it.
I am hoping that I can
embark on this challenge because I really need to work on my saving habit. I am
still trying to decide what amount I would eventually stick to and where I would
keep the money. I need a bank account that i won’t have access to. And because I
can’t go to the bank every week I would tweak my challenge to a monthly one. I
would save the money monthly.
Maybe if I had a konlo (clay piggy bank) I might
have done the weekly challenge (reasons why I miss home, they don’t have konlo
here). And before I am yabbed I like Konlo, there is technically no way to get
the money out after putting it inside except you want to break the pot so it
used to help me save a lot when I was younger….Yep!! I have so many quirks.
I do hope some of you do
take up the challenge. Since this week is technically the first week in this year (or half a week) i think that there would be no better time to start
than now.
Hope I have motivated
someone today. Thanks for stopping by…

Yeah! *dusting my kolo* I actually saved with mu kolo to buy a new phone oh! My friends thought it was gunny but hey! I'll start with 100bucks daily and increase it as I get cash but I wnt reduce it
ReplyDeleteYay! someone who knows what i am talking about..#Konlo things. As for the challenge, it is a weekly thing not daily and if you would increase it later it means that for the weeks that you kept a less amount you would have to increase those too so that you can get the desired end amount.
DeleteMy dear, dt kolo idea is cool ooo. Kolo mode acrtivated, inspired already.
ReplyDeleteSuper Yay! I am so glad it has inspired you. We must make it to the end of the challenge.
DeleteAm on board......I can do this, no more Ejekuje..lol
ReplyDeleteYes, i believe you can do it. In fact i believe we can all do it. I would try to put up a reminder every week but the week i forget you or someone else can remind me. It would be nice if we all do it together and are successful together...
DeleteIf you can't get the konlo, use a plastic water bottle or even a wine bottle, put the money inside and help yourself to save o...I used to do it...thanks for reminding..I have to resume again...it sure helps
