A Nigerian man has sparked widespread reactions online after expressing frustration over what he described as inconsiderate financial requests from acquaintances who appear to be living comfortably.
In a video shared on social media, the man questioned why people would ask him for money while he endures harsh weather conditions just to make a living. His remarks come amid ongoing economic challenges in Nigeria, where many workers face daily stress from rising transport costs, inflation, and unpredictable weather.
Speaking in a mix of Pidgin and English, he said:
“You see me as I dey enter rain dey go work, rain dey flog me dey go work but one person go call me say make I send am 2k but e dey house dey do weather for two, God go punish you.”
He stressed the imbalance between his daily hustle and the expectations placed on him, suggesting that some individuals fail to understand the realities of those who commute and work under tough conditions.
The statement has resonated with many Nigerians, reflecting a broader frustration over constant financial demands within social circles, especially in a struggling economy.
Reactions from social media users:
“E no really easy my bro. Who no go know.”
“Who send you make you enter inside rain can’t you hide in a corner till it stops or you can’t afford umbrella 😤😤,, poor man like you.”
“Na woman go still chop the money 😂😂.”

“This has happened to me 3 times this year on my way to work, I really feel am o, plus inside Lekki flood.”
“Where you dey work, them dey forbid them to provide convenient transportation for una?”
