Reactions trail man's story about school friend

Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.

Amber said:

"Honestly this thing is really about Nigeria and not understanding the concept of dignity in labor. If the country as whole worked, one should be getting well paid (at least minimum wage) no matter the job. White boys do delivery abroad everywhere and it doesn’t give the aura of sufferhead at all?"
