It all started innocently — just one hot afternoon, one tired body, and one Coke staring at me from the fridge like it was calling my name.
I knew I shouldn’t. I had a budget. A tight one. I was supposed to be living on student mode: vibes, garri, and God’s grace. But that Coke? That Coke looked like chilled happiness.
So I bought it.
₦450 gone.
No wahala, I told myself. “It’s just one Coke.”
But that one Coke became a catalyst for financial destruction.
That evening, I was like, “Shebi I’ve already broken the budget, let me just buy one meat pie too.”
₦700.
Then I opened TikTok. Saw one guy making shawarma. I suddenly realized I deserved shawarma too.
₦1,200 vanished like a politician’s promise.
By Day 3, I was on YouTube watching “How to Survive on ₦100 for 5 Days.”
My bank account said, “This boy is on his own.”
At one point, I legit considered becoming a POS agent. Or maybe selling my school notes (since I wasn’t using them anyway).
Moral lesson? Don’t let Coke deceive you. That thing is a slippery slope. One sip and your whole week’s budget will pack up and leave.
So next time you’re thirsty, drink water. Or better yet, chew gum and pretend it’s food.
