Fruit seller gives transfer option

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian hawker got many talking in a video that went viral on social media. While hawking her apples, the lady had a mini "signboard" made out of carton hanging on her neck.

On the carton was written her GTB account number. While answering a man who asked for the price of her goods, the woman said that each apple goes for N100 if one is paying with cash.

She factored in the current cash scarcity into her business as she sought to gain more from the situation. The hawker added that any customer making a transfer would pay N200.
