"God bless the guy for taking this path. However, this is wicked. How can a paltry #30 be paid for offloading a bag and taking it from the ground floor to the third storey of a building? If the story is true, then the people are wicked."

Man helped his former schoolmate

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Akerele Oluwasogo, took to LinkedIn to narrate how he met his old schoolmate in Lagos.

Akerele said that an old classmate happened to be the driver of the keke (tricycle) that hit his car. Just as he angrily came down to check how bad it was, the driver turned out to be a known face.

The two reunited and got talking. During their conversation, the driver said he is ashamed that he is driving keke to make ends meet and his friend is looking so fresh in his car.
