Meet Abena-she’s a cheery, bright, passionate, dedicated enthusiast with a bubbly personality that could light up the room but she’s poor at making financial decisions and she is the main focus of this guide book. Experience how she navigates life as a broke female in a big and unforgiving city- Port Harcourt. Abena is a graduate of the department of English and literary studies, from the University of Nigeria Nsukka. She loves cooking, reading and designing clothes. She recently started working as a personal secretary to an insufferable boss in a tech startup company – the light bug. The C.E.O. (chief executive officer) of the company is a 29 year old man with the arrogance of a fifty year old oil company managing director. Abena graduated and moved to Port Harcourt from Enugu and lives with her three best friends; Somtochukwu, Deborah and Ifeoma in a two bed room apartment in the Elekahia area of Port Harcourt. She finds herself surrounded by a variety of ‘crazy’ neighbors from all works of life. She struggles to juggle her mundane life while dreaming of the day her fashion design dreams would finally take-off. But one thing that remains a constant is how broke she is. This is Abena’s guide to trying to escape being broke. The main question is does she succeed? Let’s get on this journey to find out.
