So, if she calls a piece of orange for #2000 I shld just pay? Cmon!

amokeme:

God bless you! Uv said it all.. Most people commenting here are just sentimental. I mean, I believe in charity alot (I even have my own charity outreach) what I dont like is people mandating or expecting you to because you are "rich" for goodness sakes, why can't individuals satisfy their conscience, mind their business and move on?! But no, the next thing you will hear is the "rich this poor this" if I decide to go to a super market, it's my money... and if I decide to help someone, it's also my money. All the people commenting the rich is this and that here are the ones that don't even help anybody! Or you don't know your 50 naira can go a long way Be waiting for a rich man to come and dash her 500k Mtcheeew.. We are just hypocrites!
The annoying thing and at the same time funny is, if someone decides to locate this woman to help her, the same category of people calling on the "rich" will say it's "publicity stunt" mehn! The mentality of an average Nigerian youth is pathetic
An ignorant person is already saying this is another olajumoke is the making. You can imagine such comment. Is just sad

permanentgrace:


And what is wrong with such news headline? Must a fruit seller remains a fruit seller till he/she dies? What is wrong with God using whatever mysterious way to change the story of a fruit seller?

Well there is no one to argue with at a supermarket

supermarket prices aren't always high. things are actually cheaper at some big supermarket than at other places

AdaNri1:
you wonder why Aldi is is cheaper than Tesco, but we know which is bigger and it doesn't start with T

laurel03:
80% rich peep are wicked they always see poor people like they offend God or not serious.. "Eleda mi ma lo mu codiene oo"

Or you could ensure that every woman learns about contraceptives so they don't end up in this position.

(I'm talking to all you religious people who are so against birth control, family planning and safe abortions).

BlackOnassis:


First: You don't know how many kids she has.

Second: No sane woman would go childless and not pass on her genes just because she is poor.

persius555:
Everybody is pretending to be related to mother theresa. Bargaining is what everyone does. Even the woman bargained her price from the banana farmer. Lets not pretend to be saints here.
It is called survival #ihatehypocracy

Raph01:
and did I tell U anythang's wrong with it?? I tried 2 create an impression that Social Networks now make peepz 'blow' dese days.. Sum'n lyk de dapper windscreen cleaner and others.... Bro abeg swerve make I see road abeg

Tallesty1:
The annoying thing is that rich folks will pay thousands of Naira for a small item in supper markets but will offer N50 for a bunch of banana from these women.

contactmorak:
Musician Jazzman Olofin shared this photo of a woman and her child who fell asleep by the roadside while selling fruits. He wrote: "Struggling mothers like this... Don't bargain with them, instead pay more. Show a little love, share a little hope. Survival is a tearful battle for most, especially with children. In God we trust... Happy Sunday!". Well said...

BlackOnassis:


I get your point. She bargained her price from the banana farmer in order to make a profit and SURVIVE. She did it for survival, but what is the rich banana buyer doing it for? Certainly not for survival.

mmsen:


Having a child is not a right, nor is passing on poverty which is what this woman is doing.

Being sane, entails being cognizant of your circumstances - which means making informed decisions. Have children if you can afford to take care of them well.

Raising a child is a privilege and until people in Nigeria come to realize that fact we will keep listening to people groan about the poverty that they have brought upon themselves and their unfortunate children.

Icecomrade:

Let's stop complaining about rich people after all the number of poor and average people out numbers the rich.

Take responsibility, act more responsibly when you meet them and satisfy your own conscience with better works.

These women will be better off.

Ligxy:

You go stingy o. How much is 2k? Looking at her like that, can't you dash her 2k without buying anything from her? And of cos you know you just exaggerated.

Ruq:


You dey mind all these sympathy seeking peeps, na those whey whey price pass go full here.

sabama007:


Madam, I can give her 10k out of sympathy and empathy but whn it comes to trading, it's a different ball game. Go to Ikeja Mall, Palms, Leisure mall and co, there are women that beg and we give token to as little as we could. Even those windscreen cleaners are not left out.

When you try to be economical, you'll be called STINGY.
When you give cash out, you'll either be called an extravagant or a show-off!

#lol

Ligxy:
Oga, you're saying a different thing entirely.

feran15:


lol what? i dont even know those places

mikolo80:
yeah he should just go about dashing his money to all poor women. then he too now broke. will they give him free mango or banana then. it's a hard knock life and she's still kicking so there is hope

BlackOnassis:


That is a straw man argument. All i'm saying is that it wouldn't kill a comfortable/rich person to not haggle over price in certain situations. But we definitely do not want wealthy people to go broke; that doesn't help anybody.

BlackOnassis:


Actually, it is. Unless you want to argue that our continued survival as a species is not a right.

Talking about making informed decisions; poverty is transient and millions of folks rise out of it in Africa and Asia. On the other hand, ending your genetic lineage is irreversible, at least for now. So you make a decision.
