| Canoe owners doing brisk business |
The floods which accompanied Thursday’s downpour provided an opportunity for canoe owners to charge exorbitant fees for desperate residents to get to work.
The canoe operators charge N100 per head and and their canoes have a capacity of over 50 people/trip ie a whooping N5,000 per trip!
Aside the canoes, some youths in the area also charged fares in order to ferry across desperate residents who wanted to pass the flooded area on their backs.
Some charged as much as N200 to carry people on their backsover short distances.
Like the old adage goes: "every disappointment is a blessing in disguise"!You have read this article with the title Canoe owners profit from flooded communities. You can bookmark this page URL https://meditacaoplanetaria.blogspot.com/2012/06/canoe-owners-profit-from-flooded.html. Thanks!
