A trend has been circulating online as people are increasingly offering foreign currency to hawkers in Lagos as payment for goods purchased.
In a video, Nigerian man identified as Michael spyder was seen giving a teenage hawker $100 in exchange for a local food that costs 200 Naira. The boy wanted N200 and $100, but the customer stated that he did not have N200.
The hawker then refused the dollar note since he didn’t recognize its worth and requested that the client instead give him N200.

The man tried to explain that a hundred dollars is worth more than N50,000, but the hawker was hesitant to accept it, so he suggested that the customer go change it first.
The man decided to leave with his $100 after returning the items he had purchased.
The young hawker also left with his goods without selling any of his local foods or receiving money from the customer. Watch the video below:
