The Wahala With Handling Money During Detty December 

Money is the key to making the most of your Detty December. You’ll need to pay for your concerts, house parties and food festivals. With so much to do in Lagos and so much money to spend on rocks, it’s safe to say that staying at home during this time is simply put, the ghetto. 

So if like me, you left your man/babe at home to turn up with the ballers in Lagos, you probably have gone deep into your bag this period. The worst part of this season is not just the huge dent it leaves in your account balance, but the ridiculous experience that is seamlessly paying for your rocks.

Lagos is annoying in different ways, so one small wahala can escalate to become the worst moment of your life in seconds. One of which is walking around with the plenty cash you’ll need to turn up this season. 

You see, the first thing you will encounter is the conductor who will make you literally fight for your change. If you think your boujie lifestyle will prevent this from happening, then you haven’t met the cab driver who will never have your change even if they got paid to give you your own money. 

The conductor, when you give him N1000 for a N100 bus fare.

Let’s not forget all the little ways cash trickles out of your account when you’re forced to buy the items you don’t need just to get change. Little drops of Naira makes 30 billion, dears. 

On top of this, you could even get robbed! Ever had to pay for something and realize that your wads of Naira notes have suddenly grown wings? Now, look at you sweating at the restaurant, thinking of washing plates, when you could’ve gone cashless. 

On the rare occasion that you get your complete change, you might just need a shower because of how dirty and gross the notes are. 


The good news is, you don’t have to worry about these struggles because Barter has a cashless product that helps you make payments without worrying about change problems. What’s more, they’ll also be at Eat.Drink.Festival 2019, so get ready to buy as much food as you can, by simply funding your wristband in easy steps that you will find in this article.
