In his post, he wrote: "So I withdrew some cash this evening and while counting, one ₦1000 note stood out. Someone actually wrote on it 'Hi, my name is Mamud, I am a prost!tutee. I’m available….' (with a phone number). Omooo… them don dey use money advertise now?"
Social Media Users React to the Unusual Discovery
The post quickly gained traction online, with many Nigerians expressing their reactions. Some users speculated about the circumstances behind the message, while others commented on the creativity or risks involved.
- Esume said: "It's possible someone else did that to her to avenge something. Or that money was the only available paper she saw to write someone over the table. Either way, I don't believe she just wrote that down as an advert."
- George commented: "Oh my goodness, what won't we see in this country, however you can't just judge based on this, there might be other factors that led to this or someone is trying to mess her up."
- Geologist reacted: "That person should be tracked and get her handed to a rehabilitation center for counseling and help she is going through a lot."
- Shozy noted: "Imagine the money might be travelling all the way from Maiduguri before you got it in Ibadan."
- 9men joked: "You added 30 to that number so that it can be 13 digits and confusing to call, anyways you have lost the number is going through and she’s picking her call. What a lovely voice she has."
- Uzzy Designs warned: "Lol. Beat advertisement, because the money would always go round, it ain't gon stay in one place. But risky that if any authorities sees that and decides to sue her to court, she surely would be jailed for that."
- Ayo added: "A very nice concept if you ask me. You've seen it, you'll contact him if you need his service. You'll spend the money, someone else will also see it, they will contact him if they need his service. Business boom!!!"
