You will see women like this, walking from phase 1 to Phase 2, tens or hundreds of kilometers, hawking groundnut, banana, fish, oranges, tomatoes, pepper even mango.
Remember, they choose to earn legitimately. Olosho dey ooh, but dem no do.
You then call them, and start to display your price negotiating skills.
"Aunty, you no gree five yam for five hundred?" She looks up at you, anger in her soul but desperation in her eyes.
"Bros, please help me buy it. Five tubers of yam, ₦500? It's ₦1800 Sir, please"
Then, you asked her to either sell it ₦800 or she leaves with it. She left, thinking a lot in her head. She has to feed, nobody had bought yam from her in two days.
Then, she came back to you. "Uncle, take it ₦1000".
You still shook your head, mbah. "₦800 las las!!" She sold it. Her life depended on it.
But the same YOU will walk into a supermarket to form Obi Cubana, and buy a loaf of bread labelled ₦3000 and even 'dash' the girls on the counter a ₦500 note!
The same loaf of bread you will get at ₦1200 at joebest bakery shop.
And you're asking God to bless you?
Chief, between that lady who hawks under the sun, trying to sell goods not worth ₦5000 and the babe on the counter using iPhone X... who deserves your pity?
Let heavens know your answer so God can choose who to pity lets spread love.
