VIDEO: Woman gets N100,000 after helping ‘mentally sick beggar’ with N200

A woman has received a gift of N100, 000 from a prankster who disguised as a mentally sick beggar.

 

In the 6 minutes, 31 seconds video, the prankster, dressed in tardy attire, was seen moving from persons to persons to beg for either food or money.

 

The first woman he approached was a trader attending to a customer. He knelt and begged for money so that he could buy food.  He said to her: “Mommy abeg give me money make I chop.” The woman responded: “Me sef I know get money.”

 

The next person he approached sat in front of what may be his home. The person, in a fit of rage, screamed at the disguised mentally disable beggar to “go back.”

 

His next stop was a woman selling roasted plantain. The woman panicked at seeing somebody she obviously thought was mentally sick. She stood and withdrew from her seat. When he asked for one of the plantains to soothe the pinch of hunger in his stomach, she said: “dem don buy am. Go!”

 

The next person he met was meaner. Looking like a man in his 70s, his wife gave him a long whip which he didn’t request for. He used the whip at least four times on the disguised beggar.

One woman he approached even asked for cutlass in a bid to scare him away.

 

Another woman he asked water, angrily told him: “I no get water.”

 

He finally met the woman who took pity on him. The woman, a petty trader dealing in bathroom slippers, first panicked when she saw a man looking like mentally disturbed individual. She threw N200 at him when he asked for money to eat.

 

Satisfied that she had passed his test, his camera crew surfaced. He told the woman that he wasn’t a mentally sick person and neither a beggar. That he was simply experimenting to see how people responded to others in need. He asked the woman about her business, and she responded that people rarely patronize her wares because food was their priority. He then gifted her N100,000. The woman started crying and hugged him.
