A lady has shared the story of her friend who reportedly bought a used Toyota Corolla for ₦7 million shortly after his father died, using part of the money the deceased had been saving towards his son’s master’s degree in the United Kingdom.
According to the lady, her friend’s father died last month following a brief illness and left ₦15.2 million in his bank account.
Before his son completed his national service the previous year, the father had reportedly disclosed that he was already putting money aside for his postgraduate education abroad.
He also encouraged his son to work and save during the year so that his earnings could be added to the money already being kept for the master’s programme.
Family reportedly spends ₦6.2m on father’s burial
Following the man’s death, the family reportedly spent ₦6.2 million from the ₦15.2 million on his burial, leaving about ₦9 million.
However, only days after the burial, the son spent ₦7 million on a used Toyota Corolla.
He was also said to have used another ₦500,000 to establish a shop for his girlfriend, bringing the two reported expenses to ₦7.5 million.
Late father never owned a car
Adding an emotional dimension to the story, the narrator revealed that the deceased worked as a secondary school teacher during his lifetime.
Despite reportedly saving millions towards his son’s education, she claimed that he never owned a car himself.
The account has raised questions about financial priorities, inheritance and how children choose to use money left behind by their parents, particularly when such funds had reportedly been intended for a specific purpose.
