Even In Recession: A Man Buys a Ball of Watermelon For 25 Thousand Naira In Lagos




For all those in the school of thoughts that the economic meltdown currently being experienced in Nigeria affects every citizen, I bet you will have a changed mindset after reading this.

The unbelievable event happened on Sunday, 4th of December, 2016, during the Harvest Thanksgiving service held at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, in Abule Oja area of Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. 



The chairman of the fund-raising/bazaar sales at the harvest event, Mr. Tunde Popoola, after officially declaring the bazaar auction sales open, picked up a ball of watermelon from the pile of variety of fruits on the floor and put a price tag of twenty-five thousand on it.




He began his statement with a joke, he said "All these things (fruits) here belong to vegetarians, and me I'm not a vegetarian; if there was a cow here now, I would have taken it". Then, he picked up a ball of watermelon and added, "I'm buying this watermelon for #25,000". 

Every member of the audience responded with a very loud round of applause.

Meanwhile, Mr. Popoola had earlier donated a sum of N250,000 during the fund-raising, to support the church's building renovation project.

Hmm, money speaking. That is money...ego, kudi, owo!
