The woman responded that the plantain would get burnt if she was under the shade. Oyinkansola then gave her some cash and drove off.
Oyinkansola wrote:
"While at church. I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't imagine my mum roasting plantain in the rain. I kept pondering about it till I posted it on Facebook. A friend from the US reached out to donate to her. 48 hours after I drove back to her to hand her about 250k."
She said the woman burst into tears and said she had been praying that God should send her a helper.
According to Oyinkansola, the woman reached out to her staff a month later saying she was no longer under a shade, adding that she used the money to fix her uncompleted building and sells from there.
Tweeps were impressed with Oyinkansola's kind gesture and they flooded the comment section of her post with their thoughts.

This, however, doesn't mean that all offer the best of services to their customers. A Young man has taken to social media to share what a food vendor delivered to him after he ordered roasted plantain.
