A Nigerian moi moi seller has gone viral on social media after donning a suit to hawk his wares on the streets of Ilorin due to declining sales.

He wrote, “I have been losing my mind over very low sales. I decided to hawk the streets of Tanke this morning.”

In another post, he introduced himself, stating, “Dear Anon, my name is Ikúpolátì Gideon, and I sell moi moi for a living here in Ilorin, Kwara State. I sincerely need your support for my business. I can feed people on the streets, and I’m here on X. God bless you.” 

Shortly after his posts, a video of him hawking his moi moi on the streets of Ilorin emerged online, prompting many users to share their thoughts in the comments.
