Social Media Reactions:
@gracciellaayuk: “You are just not a truthful person. If you were really sincere you would have dropped that food and then ask for it nicely. Nigerians are nice and we play with everything but deep down we know alot of people in this country are entitled and lacks integrity.”
@chym_amaka_: “What kind of irresponsible attitude is this? You are paid for a job and the least you can do is carry it out with dignity, how can you be hungry when you are working and getting paid, this is so mean and wicked of this driver. Let’s be careful with the way we normalize rubbish on these streets of social media Biko 🙄🙄😏😏🙄”
@ms_abbie03: “This isn’t hunger, it’s theft. Thank God it’s just food, imagine it’s something more valuable, he would do same”
@veevogee: “Why not eat with the money paid for delivery??? This is the height of irresponsibility”
@blitzwholesalestore: “Why steal when you can deliver the food and beg? You get pride and threw empathy out of the window.
What makes you think she wasn’t hungry, sick and had a child waiting for that food as well…”
