It was one of my biggest achievements. Buying a brand new laptop and a brand new USB Modem to access the internet in 2010 was a dream come true. This is more than just wanting to belong to a class of the big boys that own a laptop, I've always loved handling anything tech, its like a toy and yes I am still addicted to them. I loved and still love to browse the internet even when back then I have nothing really reasonable to do online, I'd go to the cyber café and burn out my pockets returning home broke yet feeling fulfilled doing nothing online.
I did my price hunt and knew what the price was before going to the market that beautiful Saturday. I went with my sister (against my wish but she insisted to be my escort) to buy my brand new Compaq Presario CQ56 at N80,000 but I never told her what the worth was until I was to pay because I knew she would discourage me believing I could do some other useful things with that much money. We were both right, she asked me not to try buying it as I presumed and she said "Tayo, you have about N35,000 outstanding school fees"
