A woman recounted how a brief interaction with a fellow bus passenger took an unexpected turn when he refused to let her hold his money after a fare adjustment.
She explained that they had both boarded the same commercial vehicle, and the conductor merged their outstanding amounts before driving off quickly.
She noted that the man was due ₦300 while she was expecting ₦200, yet the conductor handed her the full ₦500.
The passenger immediately insisted on receiving his share, declaring he would not allow a woman to keep his cash.
Instead of splitting the amount and giving him his ₦300, she chose to hand over the entire ₦500 and walk away.
Passenger’s comment triggers unexpected reaction
She recalled his words: “Aunty I no dey leave my money for woman,” spoken right after the conductor drove away with the combined change.
She replied, “When you get home, tell your family that a woman gave you money for the first time in your life,” and then left, leaving him standing and staring.
Story generates online discussion
She said she was surprised by his reaction, pointing out that the sum involved was only ₦300 and that she had never asked him for financial help.
Her account sparked reactions on social media, with users debating whether his remark was warranted.
Many praised her response, while others suggested the confusion could have been settled by simply dividing the ₦500 according to what each person was owed.
