A kindhearted Twitter user has shared a sad story reflecting the current suffering of the poor masses The lady called a shoemaker to repair her shoes, and he lamented about not eating anything after trekking for three hours The kind lady was touched by his sad story, and offered him a plate of rice to eat and garri to takeaway
The new cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria was implemented with bright promises, but so far, it has somewhat contributed to the hardship of the masses. A recent video has exposed the hardship experienced by people at the grassroot agrassrootst of the new cashless policy.
A Twitter user with the handle @HelenTemitope shared the experience she encountered.
She was trying to mend one of her spoilt shoes and the shoe mender asked her to bring any money she had, whether new or old currency.
He told her that he had been trekking for over three hours with no customers and he hasn't eaten. The kind lady decided to give him food, and also went ahead to give him raw garri, after he was done rendering service to her. She also took the time to remind everyone that a lot of people are suffering under this new policy.
"Until today, i haven't felt this bad about this new note scarcity. I called a shoemaker to amend my slippers. He said I should bring any money I have because he hasn't got any money to eat today, that he has been trekking for more than 3hrs. I felt so bad for him", she said.
