I always prefer buying fuel from MRS. because I believe they are more upright 😂.
I drove into one of their stations this evening and asked for ₦20,000 fuel.
The attendant brought the POS, I paid ₦20,000, and she turned around and set the pump to ₦13,000. 🥺
I paused for a second to be sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
Just as she was about to start dispensing, I shouted, "I paid ₦20,000!"
She looked shocked and quickly apologized. According to her, she had just finished selling ₦13,000 fuel to the previous customer and was still thinking about that amount.
She corrected it to ₦20,000, dispensed the fuel, and I left.
Whether it was an honest mistake or not, this is a reminder:
Always watch the meter when buying fuel. The money is yours. The responsibility is also yours.
Pay attention. A few seconds of alertness can save you thousands of naira.
“but if I am honest, l'd rather stumble through the awkwardness of reconnecting than accept a world where we just stop talking altogether.”

Yesterday, we launched @askonerrandly for people in the University of Ibadan and UCH, Ibadan.
There was no marketing budget, no noise, no ads or influencer marketing - just word of mouth. And we already have about 160 signups in 20 hours.
What are we building? 👇
