@Herneholar: “That is the situation of the country right now. At least, Thank God he did not eat it like we see online. A lot are hungry, working with no idea when their next meal will come.
If you have money to spare, you can give it to him to use and get something (it is not a must though).”

He was to deliver to ibeju and came by 9pm
Out of 10 packs, it was 8 left.
