So i was driving to FRS office yesterday morning along oshodi isale, close to lastma office, and i saw a woman under the rain 🌧 shivering 🥶, at first sight i thought she wasn’t ok psychologically and i drove past her, at a second glance via the side mirror!!!

A thread!!!
I noticed there was a sack close to her, i slowed down and i kept wondering why was she was under the rain, so i parked, and trekked back to her, i saw it was a sack full of oranges, and she had sold only one, the #50 naira was right on top of the oranges
I moved close and asked her, “madam are you selling this? “ She said yes, i asked how much is the whole sack? She said #1200 naira, i was lost for words 😞 i said to myself “1200?” I had no cash on me so i promised i was going to come back to her
I went back to my car, and i couldn’t just hold back the tears, it kept rolling down my cheeks, as i looked up to thank GOD for all the blessings i over looked and forgot to appreciate, for all the goodness and mercies i get despite my sporadic sins
I was in no way better than this woman, afterall she’s outspoken, all through my conversations with her, she never replied with broken English, however, i went back to her and gave her my token, i was more concerned with her leaving the rain as she was really shivering
This should have been a low key thing, but i feel this woman needs help, she’s definitely educated, she said she’s got twins, and she used to be a fashion designer, I’m sure the pandemic affected alot, as there are no occasions as it used to be!!!
I wish people could see this and help this woman, she is a fighter, she’s not willing to give up either, if you have anything to spare, she stays directly in front of aquadana company beside lastma office at oshodi!!! I forgot to add she said she collected the oranges on credit.
Now let’s ask ourselves, who needs GOFUND ME ACCOUNT? Who needs WAD-ROPE ALLOWANCE? Who needs HEALTHCARE ALLOWANCE? Who needs travel allowance? The little things we do today counts tomorrow GOD bless you all as you help her 🙇🏻
So i revisited her after work today, and she said she doesn’t have an account, i offered taking her to bank just so we could open an account in her name, i asked if she has any means of identity card, she said no, no bvn too, This is probing difficult tho, Pls any banker here?
