In Nigeria, many individuals are facing challenges in acquiring essential goods, and a particular woman has recently become the center of a contentious situation concerning her food purchases.

She has been labeled as someone who is prolific at buying items on credit with no serious means of paying, prompting a local food vendor to generate significant attention online by displaying a banner outside her shop.

This banner features an image of the woman and declares that she is barred from purchasing food on credit due to an outstanding debt of N2500.

The vendor’s audacious choice to publicly identify the alleged debtor has sparked extensive discussions throughout Nigeria’s online community, with the banner’s message stating, “Banned from buying food here on credit.

N2500 debt. If seen, please report.”. The amount owed when measured in dollars is less than $2.
