Coronavirus: Nigerian police officer narrates how he gave money to a woman who told him about the challenges she’s been facing since the lockdown by sweethoney12(f) : 6:01 pm |
A Nigerian police officer has narrated how he helped out a woman who narrated the challenges she’s been facing since the lockdown order issued by the federal government in Lagos, Ogun and the FCT to check the spread of Coronavirus. Edward Onoriode disclosed he met the woman and her daughter who were walking towards Ikeja while on his way to work this morning. The policeman said the woman who complained about drinking garri throughout yesterday during their discussion after he gave her a lift, revealed she was going to Maryland to see if her elder sister can lend her N5,000. The woman also disclosed that she sold drinks in traffic before the lockdown, but can’t anymore since she feeds from the interest she makes from her daily sales. Onoriode said he gave the woman money he withdrew from a nearby ATM before dropping her off at Maryland He wrote; On my way to the office this morning, I saw this middle age woman & her daughter walking towards Ikeja. So, I slowed down & gave them a lift since I’m heading towards their direction. On our way, I asked the woman where she’s heading to in this Lockdown, she said Maryland. She said she and her daughter sells Drinks and Water in Traffic. But due to the Lockdown, she can’t sell and if she doesn’t sell, she can’t feed. Meaning, she feed from the interest she gets daily. I asked her if she has a bank account. She said; †I never open account. Na my Neighbour account I dey use if dem wan send me money and i no sabi her account number.†I had to drive to the nearest ATM spot at Ikeja, withdraw some money, hand over to her & drop her at Maryland. Truth is, people are really suffering. For the few of us who have what to eat at anytime even if the Lockdown is extended to another two months should do the little we can to assist those who doesn’t have. I can’t count the number of people who call me daily asking for money just to feed. Things are really hard. At this point, the govt need to do something ASAP to relieve the suffering of the people else, things will get out of hand in days to come if this Lockdown continues.
