“After your hard labor, you come to Nigeria, buy a car to enjoy for a few days, then a policeman will stop you and accuse you of being a fraudster. God will bless your hustle my brother.”
@NwabuezeWilfred commented:
“Men, that is real weightlifting. But in 8 hours, you get $375. So you do that in a week, you have well over $1500.”

How much is a bag of cement?
In a related story, a Nigerian man bought cement at the price of N8,200 per bag in Kaduna state, where he lives.
However, when he got home, he received a phone call from the cement seller informing him the price had been reduced to N7,800 per bag.
Ahmad Kargi said he was surprised when the cement seller offered him his N400 balance even after he had left the shop.
