Man discovers friend works as delivery rider
The man, @omonna14 on X, shared the story of how his long-lost secondary school friend turned up at his doorstep, delivering the food he had ordered.
His friend, who had clearly taken a different path in life, arrived on a bicycle, sweating profusely.
The encounter left the man feeling ashamed and unsure of how to react, particularly when it came to collecting the food from his friend.
In his words:
“So I ordered food from chowdeck this morning and it was one of my very close (lost) secondary school pal that delivered it with his bicycle. I didn’t even know how to feel. Shame no gree me collect the food. See as my guy dey sweat ontop how much.”
Reactions trail man’s story about school friend
Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.
Amber said:
“Honestly this thing is really about Nigeria and not understanding the concept of dignity in labor. If the country as whole worked, one should be getting well paid (at least minimum wage) no matter the job. White boys do delivery abroad everywhere and it doesn’t give the aura of sufferhead at all?”
Daiso Dikee said:
“That’s sad, but at the same time, that’s life. Na to show am love; make his day.”
Cinthiar wrote:
“I made two airtime transactions an hour ago, I have been debited but I’m yet to get the airtime. Please check thank you.”
Sammy ID reacted:
“You can connect him to a better place to work if you got the connection. That’s what friends are for.”
Bruhda said:
“Na una dey make am big deal. If he was on WhatsApp billing you everyday you’d still not appreciate the efforts, he say na “on top how much”.
Papillon added:
“Just press something from your heart for him he will appreciate. That’s life! Fingers can’t be the same.”
