The Okada Man Who Charged Me ₦2,500 to Carry My Own Bag of Rice

This okada man stop for me yesterday near Ariaria, I tell am say I dey go Cemetery Market. He look my nylon bag of rice one time, then he look me. '₦2,500.' I laugh. I say 'oga, na only small distance.' He say 'no be distance. Na the rice weight.'

My brother, I stand there dey calculate. The rice na ₦68,000, I buy am this morning. The transport na ₦2,500. So the okada man don tax me 3.6% just to move my own property from point A to point B. I ask am if he dey collect VAT. He say 'VAT na for government. This one na WAT. Weight Added Tax.'

I no argue. I climb. We reach market, he help me drop the bag, then he say 'next time buy the small bag. Your back go thank you.' See me see wahala, even the okada man don turn financial adviser. Wetin remain, make him start dey give investment tips?
