Anytime I transfer money to this woman after buying something, she doesn’t even bother to confirm. She’ll just smile and say, “Thank you, Ebun, you can go.” But yesterday… something changed. I bought things worth ₦18,500 and said, as usual, Mummy, I’ve sent the money, ma. She looked at me and said, “Wait. Let me confirm.” That alone surprised me. In a few seconds, the alert came in. Then she sighed and said, “Ebun, no vex o…” She told me how her most trusted customer, someone who had been buying from her for over a year scammed her just the day before. ₦158,000… gone. The man even collected ₦40,000 cash and told her to keep ₦2,000 change like everything was normal. She waited for hours. No alert. Later that evening, she went to his house… only to find out he had moved out two weeks earlier. Nobody knew where he went. This was someone who had always paid. Never failed. Never gave her a reason to doubt him. That’s why she didn’t check. Now she checks everything.

If you want to go far in life, master being bored, silent, and alone.
