Hardworking men in akara business
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian lady confidently revealed who she would choose between a yahoo boy who is into scam and a man who is working legitimately to earn his money.
In a vox pop clip, the lady said getting money from a yahoo boyfriend is quite easy as he could send her N50,000 whenever she wants it.
According to her, the reverse is the case with a working-class man who might cite an excuse for only being able to afford only N20,000.
