A pure water hawker is trending after he was filmed begging a man for money to feed his children.
The elderly man in Port Harcourt said he fed four children from his pure water business.
In the viral video shared by @abutex352 on TikTok, the elderly man narrated how he used to work as a security guard before the company was demolished.
He then said that if he could get N5,000, he would use it to buy pure water and resell it so that he wouldn’t have to beg other people.
The person behind the camera said he would help the elderly man.
The video was captioned:
“People are really suffering.”

How kind Nigerians support fellow citizens
Kind Nigerians have, in recent times, shown support for people in their way.
