“My gain na just ₦50” – Keke rider laments rising fuel cost after day’s work
A commercial tricycle (keke) rider has stirred reactions online after sharing his frustration over the rising cost of fuel and its impact on his daily earnings.
In a video making rounds on social media, the rider explained that he started his day’s work with ₦5,000 worth of fuel, only to realize at the end of the day that his total gain was just ₦50.
