Wealthy Mr Ray Murphy who donated a hotel to Internally Displaced People has dramatically taken to the street to work as a Keke NAPEP rider in an event that has attracted massive sympathy from residents.
Mr Ray Murphy
In a bid to see what it felt like living the life of an average Nigerian hustler, Murphy took a day out, got hold of a tricycle and pretended to be a real Keke NAPEP rider. The shocking reactions he got from passengers pretty much summed up his experience.
Below is how he tells his story:
MY DAY AS A KEKE OPERATOR
“I am back and I had a lot of fun today cruising the city as a keke Operator!
Lots of fun carrying passengers to their destinations and then refusing their money.
Come and see surprise, consternation, wonderment and even fear!
Moreover, I had a blast speaking to passengers with an Oxford accent. Some pitied me when I told them I just returned from UK and since I had no job, I took to keke riding.
Come and see sympathy. Ordinary Nigerians are truly kind and loving people! God bless you all for your kind hearts!
It was fun and I had the pleasure of sharing and interacting with people I would never had met otherwise! Glad I had the brainwave to do this.
A couple of females even shed tears of sympathy for me. They were sad that I came back home from abroad only to become a keke Operator! Women can be so kind!”
