A Man's Shocking Experience With Nigerian Hawkers by Ishilove: 9:26pm On Aug 15
A netizen shared his experience with Nigeria hawkers in Abuja. He was in a generous mood and decided to give back to the society. However, what his eyes saw during the whole exercise left him feeling weak and restless.

Two days ago I went out intending to give 5 random hawkers 20k each.

The plan was to first buy their products and then pay them plus extra 20k cash.

The first woman I met was at Utako Market.

Immediately I stopped by the ever busy market, the hawkers besieged my car with their products. The lucky woman I picked was selling African Pear in tiny baskets and each basket cost N1,000.

I asked her to give me 5 baskets. Each baskets had less than 10 pieces arranged inside.

Immediately she brought down her tray, I couldn’t see what she was doing from inside the car, so I turned on the car's 360-degree camera.

I watched as she emptied 3 baskets into the nylon bag instead of 5 baskets. She quickly tied the nylon and even raised her head to tell me she added two pieces of pears as Jara and then quickly opened the back door and dropped it there
.

Instead of saying anything, I gave her 3k. She told me with an unbelievable audacity that her money was remaining 2k.

I looked at this woman, amazed by how such an old woman could tell such a petty lie with a straight face.

I pointed at the dashboard screen of my car and when she looked, she saw her tray on the ground and her legs. It was at that moment she knew she had f**ked up and she quickly left.

I drove up a little bit and called one of the boys hawking plantains. I pointed at the biggest one in his hand and we agreed 10k for it. I turned On my camera again and asked him to put it in the trunk of the car. Before he got to the trunk of the car he quickly switched the plantains and put the smaller one in the car.

When he came to collect his money, I asked him why he switched the plantains and he swore in the name of the God of his religion that he did not.

I went to the trunk of the car, brought out the plantain, handed it back to him, and drove off with my money back to the house. I have had enough of almost everyone wanting to rip everyone off.

When I got home, I sent the equivalent of the 100k to my mother’s bank account and had restlessness thinking about the dogs-eat-dogs mindset that has become a tradition in our society.

Crude as the method is, people are trying to survive. If you go round Nigeria looking for a Saint before you can help, I bet you, you won't find a single one. So just do what you must and let their conscientious judge them. That way, you would've taught them a lesson they won't quickly forget. None of us is truly righteous.

Just 2 out of million hawkers.
A larger sample size is more accurate because the study gets closer to the actual population size.

nothing i have not seen or experienced before. sympathy for the poor in nigeria is dangerous because they see you as an alakowe sucker to be fleeced. in the right circumstances, several of them will have no problem with murdering you for your money. whatever you think you have done for them in the past does not matter.

Poco has detailed some experiences she has had in the past when people she did business with regularly thought they had an upper hand and showed colour

So you think he should have given them extra 20k after they tried to dupe him?

Anything to farm likes and shares is welcome.

You wanted to give 20k to 5 hawkers. You had 2 bad experiences, and immediately ran to Facebook to cry.

Why not buy 200 naira bottled water and just give the seller 20k? Afterall he/she won't cheat you.

Tomorrow, it will be about Fuel attendants or something

This means his experiences are fake and I bet he is not as financially comfortable as he claims. Anyone who does business with him is in for big trouble.

Unfortunately he met hawkers from South. Probably South Easterners. If say na Northern hawkers he met, he wouldn't have been this disappointed. Northerners are upright and have integrity.

The emboldened statement right there is the problem of Nigerians.

I am reiterating this statement for the umpteenth time that there is a “Witchcraft Virus” in the DNA of EVERY Nigerian.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR ACTS OF “EYE-SERVICE” KINDNESS. That act of Kindness you see them do - is simply preparing the ground for your slaughter.

I know them like the back of my hand.

The Politicians (Leaders) are even SAINTS compared to the CITIZENS (Followers).

I say this with utmost conviction, unless Nuclear Missiles are deployed to wipe out at least 95% of Nigerians; trust me - Nigeria can never get better.

Evaluate the pattern. Our Parents have been praying for Nigeria since the early 70’s. And what is the result of those Prayers again ?

RETROGRESSION, FRY PAN TO FIRE, 5 STEPS FORWARD - 500 STEPS BACKWARDS.

Why?

The Foundation of EVERY HOUSEHOLD & FAMILY TREE in NIGERIA (including EVERY STATE & FEDERAL SEAT OF POWER) were laid on WITCHCRAFT & BLACK MAGIC; And no matter how you twist it; You can never use these DIABOLICAL VICES for any POSITIVE ADVANCEMENT. NEVER!

What is ridiculing in what I said. Who doesn't know that Northern business men have integrity while their Southern counterparts don't?

The ethnicity of the hawkers was not mentioned, so where did you draw your conclusion from?
