One of My Facebook Friend Shared These on Her Timeline.

I Just Interviewed 3 Pure Water
Sellers In Central Area Abuja, And According To
Them: Sometimes, It Takes About 6 Hours To Sell 20
Sachets Of Water Which Amounts To A Total Of N200 (1Dollar).

From The N200, The Profit Is Only About N40 As The
Pure Water Sellers Have To Pay The Wholesalers
Their Money Back As Well As Cover The Price For Ice
Block Which Was Used To Cool The Water.
The Long And Short Of It Is That Some Of Them Make Only N40 In 6 Hours Of Hustling Under The Hot Sun, Risking Their Lives On Major Express Roads And Always At The Mercy Of The Environmental
Protection Board Who Whip Them With Cane When
Caught; Burst Their Water Sachets To The Ground
And Fine Them N5,000.

As If That Isn't Bad Enough, When Passengers And
Drivers Reach The Traffic Stops, They Prefer To Dash
N100, N200 Or Even N500 To Beggars And Fake
Sufferers Who Sometimes Make About N1,500 A Day
Doing Nothing But Begging, Leaving Them Richer,
Luckier And Safer Than The Pure Water Sellers Who
Are Young Entrepreneurs ServingThe Larger
Community With Their Trade, And Trying To Make
Ends Meet.

So When Next You Are At A Traffic Stop, Please:
1. Dash The Pure Water Seller Instead
2. Buy Pure Water To Patronise Them And If The
Change Is (N10, Or Even N20, You Can Leave It With
Them)
3. Say Something Nice To Them. Greet Them,
Encourage Them.
4. Slow Down, Don't Knock Them Down.
5. Even If You Wont Buy The Pure Water, If They Ask
You To Buy, Rather Than Ignoring Them And Facing
Front As If They Are Not Humans, You Can Look At
Them, Smile And Say "Thank You"

#MODS please and Please move this to FP Share it to the world

Azsalami:
