At some point, things changed. Income dropped. He had saved money. Asked his wife for some. There was none to spare she said. He thought liquidity. Actually none!

How could that be? An average of 2m a month for 48 months? How? Where are the investments? There was none. He did not run mad. He took it slow.

He relocated the family. Placed them in Lagos. He moved to a smaller place to get his life back. Then the stories started.

His carpenter told him he could not do repairs in the house. The driver resigned abruptly. Why?

His wife was sleeping around. With anyone and all men. She did not hide it. Carpenter walked in on her. As did others. Shame for him did not wish them to go back there again.
