A Nigerian man has stirred up reactions on LinkedIn by promising his wife a fuel station for their 24th wedding anniversary.
The CEO and film director Yibo Koko made this promise after narrating what his wife did for him. In this period of fuel scarcity and a hike in the price, the actor’s wife surprised him with 50 litres of petrol (gasoline). She brought the gift to him while he was at work.
He was super grateful as he began to imagine the challenges she would have faced. Different challenges like searching for a fuel station, standing in queues, struggling, etc.
