Market women turn down man’s N100k cash offering
A Nigerian skit maker identified as Teaser Prank on social media, conducted a social experiment at a popular market in Lagos, intending to give away N100k for free as a gesture of goodwill. However, the experiment took an unexpected turn when all the traders at the market refused to accept the generous offer. In a video shared on his social media page, the skit maker was seen approaching different women at the market, holding the N100,000 wrapped in a stack with a rubber band. Strikingly, he remained silent throughout the experiment, not uttering a word to the women, which immediately raised suspicion among the market traders. As he extended the money towards the women, they seemed hesitant and apprehensive. Instead of welcoming the unexpected windfall, the market women expressed fear and unease, rejecting the offer outright. Despite Teaser Prank’s insistence on giving away the cash for free, the traders rebuffed his attempts with a mix of concern and reluctance. @bayo_alabi_ said; “How come they are all older women tho? Try it with the young and lethal ladies please, I want to see something” @helit_rate said; “rest, respect our ladies pls” @_Merit16 said; “This is Nigeria they are just been careful nothing more But me I go collect am soft” @shogbadun said; “Is this how to give people money?” @Call_me_ugo said; “If na you, you go collect am?” @Ozikroh said; “Hmm, I can’t fault them, they probably have their reasons which no matter how we look at it, is totally fvcked up” @sosexyyetty said; “In their minds it’s blood money and one way or the other they’ll be used for rituals if they dare touch the money.” See below; why are we always scared of free money
