A group of Ekpoma boys have sparked mixed reactions after offering a bike man a toothbrush and water over allegations of having bad breath in Edo State.
In the video circulating on social media, the bike man, who is identified as a Hausa man from the Northern region of Nigeria, was stopped, only to be offered a toothbrush and a sachet of water.
Initially confused by the gesture, the young man eventually obliged and was guided on how to brush his teeth for a better breath.
In fulfilment of their aim, they asked the bike man to shine his teeth, boasting of how his dentition looked nicer and cleaner after the wash.
“Omo🤣 Ekpoma bike men no go kill person for with mouth odour🤦♂️💔😞. Abi we for bath am true true🤣?” one of the men captioned the video.
Many netizens flooded the comment section to applaud the act, while others condemned it as unnecessary and belittling.
