Man takes hawker out for lunch

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had taken a hawker out for lunch with part of his salary.

In a post seen on the Facebook page of TroTro Diaries, the man's account has been shared, highlighting his quest to continue the customer-client relationship his grandmother had with the physically challenged man.

The good Samaritan revealed his grandmother was a regular customer of the hawker - Bra Amos - though others came to her for her to buy their products.

While on his way from the bank one day, the man recalled seeing Amos sitting quietly under a shed.

''I asked him what's wrong and if he was okay. He said he was okay and was taking a little rest before continuing hawking."
