What I Encounter by Dynamicbliss(op): 2:16pm On Mar 19, 2023
This is the situation I found myself some days back, it wasn't strange though, but helping only those that are close to us and ignoring the other even when we know the other person who you don't know is asking for help isn't too good, we can't be living on man know man alone.

so I trekked to where I went today because I couldn't get cash, but there was some cash where I went to, after the activities of the day, I told the person in charge that I needed cash of which he agreed and told me to wait, after about an hour plus, he said the cash is finished, someone then ask if I told him before and he said yes but other people (first class citizens) just came and collected it, and he apologized, I just smiled and left.
Then there was this lady that I knew that has some cash in her hand, so I asked her if I could get some cash, even little so I could atleast get home after the stress, she was then asking another person that's her friend if he wanted cash (not like he asked o), the person said no, but she didn't even respond to me again. I jejely mind my business and was about leaving to start my trekking back home.
Then a young mother (God bless her) that was sitting by called me that she has a spare #500 with her, she gave me and I thanked her and also made transfer to her.
Though I know the situation of things are hard now, but we can try and made it better for ourselves and those around us.

Many Nigerians are mean and terrible people, especially when 'some small powers enter their hands', and that's quite unfortunate

And yet majority blame others (most especially our leaders), as if they will do better when given the opportunity.

An average Nigerian is just something else. You only know who they truly are when you have a close dealings with them or when they are in position of power!

So sorry for your experience.

Maybe you should try filling stations in your area you can get cash from them. This have worked for me before. Cheers
