One Monday morning, one aunty rush come:
`"Kachi fo! Transfer 200k for me quick. My pikin school fees dey wait."`
Kachi: `"No problem aunty. Network dey, but light no dey."`
_Krrraaa krrraaa_ Generator don start.
5 minutes later... _pum_ Network go.
Aunty: `"Kachi, my money!"`
Kachi sweating: `"Aunty wait, make I check balance."`
He check. Money never enter. He try again. Network come back. Money enter.
Aunty shout: `"Thank you Kachi! God bless you!"`
Before Kachi fit rest, another guy run in:
`"Bro Kachi fo! Send me 50k airtime. Urgent!"`
Kachi look up. Generator don cough. Fuel finish.
Kachi: `"Ahhh, make we wait small. I dey go buy fuel."`
The guy: `"No na, if you go now network go cut. Just use your phone data na."`
Kachi sighed, brought out his own data. Sent the airtime.
That day alone, Kachi use his personal data do 47 transactions.
By evening, NEPA bring light.
