Scene 2: "Alhaji, how much naira is a dollar now?"
"A hundred and ten naira for one dollar," replied the Alhaji.
Scene 3: "Aren't you sometimes sad at how devalued our currency has become?"
Scene 4: The Alhaji replied, "One man's sadness is another man's fortune. It is because you are not benefiting that you are complaining," said the Alhaji.
