“You know that money can make someone faint” was Thomas’s reply when he was asked, “If you got 1 million naira now, what would you do with it?”
In Streetwise episode 2 we had Thomas, a fashion designer at heart who took up a job as a security officer to enable him to raise money for his fashion business which he had to close down due to lack of funds.
He chronicled his one-time experience with an online scam to which he was referred and ended up losing money, but he seemed not to have learned his lesson with the security of his money which is ironic considering his job as a security officer.
On a serious note though, this episode was quite something.
During this hilarious conversation, he answered the two golden questions:
- What does money mean to you?
- If you received 1 million naira right now, what would you do with it?
In addition, we threw in another question to test his financial security index, and I think you need to watch that part to see for yourself.
His answers weren’t all that we hoped, but let’s face it – isn’t that the reality of many? That’s the entire reason we’re doing this series in the first place, to understand how the streets think about money.
This entire Streetwise episode 2 is one you should watch – especially if you’re a fan of raw unfiltered human stories. Tap on the video below and get to watching!

Great initiative to address this important issue.
Thanks for addressing this issue. I have always wondered how you it works.
It makes sense also request for death proof from d next of kin before any transaction
I have a case just like this but my brother is the next of kin and he was told to visit the ministry of Justice for a letter of approval which he did,, they told him the letter will be ready within 2month after spending some amount of money to my surprise it was more than 6month and just this Monday letter was taken to bank.
Bank also are saying we should come back later for a review that we should keep checking
I like this ideas

I would have loved to used my mom as the next of kin but she doesn’t like using Android phone thus she didn’t have any email address,, I don’t really trust my immediate younger sister that much so I used my second younger sister I just hope it wouldn’t cause any hatred towards each other
Thanks for taking the time to explain this . Great ?
