Ms Cassandra Orakpo has had enough. Too much, in fact. Shopping on her phone had become so easy it had turned into a bad habit. She bought a cake-decorating kit, thinking she would make her own birthday cake, and never even took it out of the box. She has at least 80 bottles of perfume stored in her closet. And despite all the clothes she has purchased, she feels she has nothing to wear.
“Clearly my buying has gotten to a place where it’s bordering on hoarding,” Ms Orakpo said.
