I stopped giving girls money for a month and I was able to buy car – Skit-maker, Shank

Nigerian content creator, Shank Comics has revealed that he was able to acquire a car and house after reducing the way he gives people money.

He explained that sometimes, one is not really broke as they think, just that in order for people to get rich they need to learn to say ‘No’ or else their hard work will not lead to wealth creation.

Shanks stated this in a social media post while recounting the decision he made to not provide financial support for any girl or family member in a month and it resulted in him acquiring two properties.

The online comedian, however, noted that he is not advising people to be stingy, rather he wants them to take a firm stance on monetary matters.

In his words; “Sometimes you are not really broke, no matter how you hustle, if you don’t learn to say No to certain people you’ll never be rich. You can’t be drowning and trying to save others, you’ll end up drowning too.

“I took a month and I said I’m not going to send anybody anything, even family I said no. Guess what? at that month I was able to buy a car and house. I’m not saying you should be stingy but just STAND STRONG FIRST”.
