A Nigerian moi moi seller has gained significant attention on social media after he was spotted wearing a suit while hawking his wares on the streets of Ilorin. This unusual sight was prompted by a noticeable decline in his sales, leading him to take creative measures to promote his business.
The seller, identified as Ikúpolátì Gideon, took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share his frustrations about the low sales he has been experiencing. In a series of posts, he expressed his determination to turn things around by actively marketing his products.
In one of his posts, he candidly mentioned, “I have been losing my mind over very low sales. I decided to hawk the streets of Tanke this morning.” This statement highlights the pressures he faced as a small business owner in a challenging economic environment.
He also took the opportunity to introduce himself more personally to potential customers, saying, “Dear Anon, my name is Ikúpolátì Gideon, and I sell moi moi for a living here in Ilorin, Kwara State. I sincerely need your support for my business. I can feed people on the streets, and I’m here on X. God bless you.” His heartfelt plea resonated with many online users who empathized with his struggle and offered encouragement.
Shortly after sharing his posts, a video surfaced showing Gideon hawking his moi moi on the streets of Ilorin, which further captured the attention of social media users and prompted an outpouring of support in the comments section.
