She posted the story on X, where it is getting a lot of reactions, as many people noted that she took a lot of risks with the money.

She wrote:

"I didn’t touch my NYSC allowance at all. At the time, I was working with a company, and I would take out ₦200 from my salary, then add it to the allowance to make it ₦20,000.
"I used that money to start processing my U.S. master’s application, paying for the application fee, sending transcripts, and other related costs. In the end, my visa was denied. Every single dime wasted. I cried ehn. I even added money because it was not enough tbh."
