We all have that one thing that we think about whenever money enters our account. For some, it’s ice cream, cake, or suya. For others, it’s books with fancy covers or a perfume collection that screams big money spender.
In this article, we spoke to a few Nigerian workers residing in Lagos State about their guilty pleasures, and they all have something that they love but their bank account hates.
Let’s get right into it.
The Foodies
The foodies have their guilty pleasure built on the foundation of enjoyment.
For Yetunde, it’s an immense amount of love for party jollof, small chops, and occasional ice cream. And for Seyi, it’s a never-failing urge to buy Nutella every time she goes shopping. For Vivian, that urge is for McVities Shortbread and Chupa Chups Belts.
Jumoke spoils herself with suya and wine every now and then. And guess what? She also can’t stop herself from buying gifts for her friends. For MaryAnn and James, it is soft drinks and junk food. Their Chowdeck app hates to see them coming.😭
God abeg! Enjoyment is not supposed to come with guilt o. Me, I won’t lie, I fall into this category, and I know you do too 😏. How? Because who doesn’t like enjoyment?
If you fall into this category, here’s a way of making your enjoyment a little less guilty: anytime you buy that food, snack, or ice cream, put N1,000 or more into your investment on Fusion via Bamboo and watch your money grow like grass.

The Fashionistas
Never to be caught unfresh is the motto here. Their guilty pleasure is fashion. Buying clothes and shoes regularly is their forte. According to Amaka, looking good is too important; that’s why shoes and clothes are her guilty pleasures.
Well, I can’t help but agree. Fashion stays physically longer than the other guilty pleasures on the list, and your packaging gets better one cloth at a time. Not to mention you’re one of the few people making the world a better-dressed place.
If this is your group, sit down and add up all the money you’ve spent on clothes that you wore only once or haven’t worn at all, and then you’ll see you’re heading into a financial crisis. Take a step back, look at your wardrobe or box, put your hand on your chest, and say “E Don Do!”
The Bookworms
Well, books are also cravings. But unlike snacks, it doesn’t go to your stomach but to your mind. And for bookworms like Ebiware, buying books is that guilty pleasure that eats up his money.
A book here, a book there, and the next thing you know, your monthly spend on books is higher than what you budgeted for feeding. Don’t worry, at the end of the month, E go shock you.
If you’re a book lover like Ebiware, a helpful tip to keep your passion alive without going broke is to consider joining a book reading community on Fusion, where you can exchange or borrow books from fellow members, or just start reading digital copies of the books you love.

The Perfume Collectors/ Frag Heads
Omo! Smelling good is never a bad thing. I’ll give this one a thumbs up as far as it isn’t costing you too much. Before Eau de Perfume turns into Eau de Sapa.
Mathias and Tola’s guilty pleasure comes from buying fragrances and scents. But one reason they’re beginning to feel guilty about this pleasure is because of their bank account. Their finances cry out for mercy every time they add a new perfume to their collection.
If you find yourself in this group, you can consider buying your scents when there’s a seasonal discount, and also remember to learn to say no to your Nose.
The No Guilty Pleasure Geng
These are the rugged and dogged budgeters. As one of the “No Guilty Pleasure” members, Timi said, “I need to make more money to confirm if such habits exist”. Hard guy, he still hasn’t found his guilty pleasure yet, but let’s give him some time 😏.
According to Tega, he doesn’t have any guilty pleasures, but data subscriptions these days have started looking like a guilty pleasure. Deep sigh! We all can relate to that. MTN, Glo, and Airtel, please pity us.
At the end of the day, guilty pleasures make life a bit sweeter. And that’s why food is the top ranking on this list. All work and no chop makes you a dull person.
