@moses_me19: "See as the thing the pain me enter my heart ah!!! I mistakenly see my mother like this house no go content the both of us. What is this shame oooAh!!? This one pain me ni"
@Royal_Citizens: "Spaghetti that used to be sold for #200 before 2015 is what these old women are now kneeling to collect?"

Watch the video below:
This is so heartbreaking, but we warned!
Some of these old women don't even eat spaghetti. This is another consequence of 'omo eni ole sedi bebere ka fileke sidi omo elomiran,' and the mere distribution of N3000 during election.
