Naira Scarcity: Lady Blames Emefiele As Okada Rider She Transferred Money To Called Her For A Date

A Nigerian lady identified as Olasumbo has taken to social media to share the cunny way an okada rider employed to get her number.

Sharing on the microblogging platform, Twitter, Olasumbo claimed that she hired a bike to transport her to her destination but because of the scarcity of naira in circulation, she decided to pay him with a transfer.

However, according to her, while the okada rider could not get the credit alert immediately, he asked for her number in order not to make her wait till he received the payment.

The okada rider said he would call her later for a follow-up in case the money fails to go through.

Olasumbo said she was shocked when the man messaged her in Yoruba language inquiring if he could take her out on a date.

She attributed the currency shortage to the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, and his naira redesign strategy.

She wrote; “I took bike today and did transfer, bikeman did not get alert so he asked for my number so he does not keep me waiting.

Bike man called me this evening and said: mo fe gbe e jade( i want to take you out) Emefiele you do this one.”

Not someone entering my dm after i made this post telling me he checked my profile and i should be grateful a man is even looking at me when i am single mother.

Being a single mom is a shame or disgrace??
