A Nigerian man has taken to social media to celebrate after saving a sizable sum of money in his kolo box (savings box).

The man identified on Twitter as @JustKingss, showed off N2.6 million, and said he had been saving money in the piggy bank for the past 10 months.

Sharing photo of different naira denominations scattered, the man expressed excitement at the feat.

He wrote;

 ”I broke my saving box (Kolo) yesterday… guess how much I saved for 10 months!!

N2.6m yessssssss… I’m so happy guysss”

However, many people doubted that it was indeed N2.6 million he was able to save as the money laid out looked like it amounted to less than that figure.
