The Day I Collected ₦20K from My Ex Who’s Now a Yahoo Boy — My Legs Swelled Up Overnight

I didn’t believe in spiritual consequences — until my own body became the warning sign.

Last month, I ran into my ex-boyfriend, David. We dated in university, but things ended badly. Now, he drives a Benz, wears designer clothes, and is known in town for his “online business.” Everyone suspects he’s a Yahoo boy.

That day, I was broke. Rent was due. My younger sister was sick. I didn’t want to ask, but he offered.

“Take this ₦20,000. No strings attached,” he said, handing me cash in an envelope.

I hesitated, but hunger and shame will make you ignore your instincts.

That night, my legs started to itch. By morning, both legs were swollen. I couldn’t stand properly. I felt weak, cold, and my heartbeat was irregular. Doctors ran tests — nothing. They found no illness.

I went from hospital to prayer house. One prophet looked at me and said:

“You took money from someone doing blood money. Your spirit rejected it.”

I broke down.

I thought I was collecting help — but I was collecting affliction. Now I’m on medication, praying daily, and regretting ever crossing paths with David again.

Please, don’t collect money from just anyone. Some gifts come with spiritual receipts you can’t return.
