Original video: “Can I Get Rich in Lagos Life Without Begging?” by Katherine Psych
What it covers
The creator gives away her starting ₦1 million to a stranger so she can start from scratch, then grinds back up the honest way: laptop gigs, the Instagram shop, Amala Shitta, a product management shift, the WhatsApp hustle, reporting crime, comedy and finally a startup pitch that pays ₦1M. She ends with ₦1,170,400, more than she gave away.
