Nairobi, Kenya: A budding businessman trying to sell cabbages from a handcart has just received a boost from a kind man who noticed that he was an introvert and having a hard time getting the attention of customers.

In a video shared on Instagram, the young man is seen selling the cabbages in the neighbourhood, but they were not moving. Things, however, changed dramatically when a man in the neighbourhood spotted him and decided to change how he was doing things.
According to the Good Samaritan, the young man was not going to get the impact he wanted and started calling out for customers, and like magic, they started coming out of their houses to see what the commotion was about; when they saw the cabbages, they started buying.
“Here are cabbages at affordable prices for Kenyans, by Kenyans. You can have them now; there are going for KSh 30 or KSh 40.This is how we do business: Kenyans for Kenyans,” he said.

How did Kenyans Hail the Good Samaritan?
Many Kenyans have come out to thank the young woman for being kind to a man who needed help, and the man thanked her for having another brother’s back. Some people prayed that good fortune would follow him after he agreed to help the man.
Another section of Kenyans cautioned people in business to be outgoing so that they can get as many customers as they can for their businesses.
“In this town you should not be an introvert because you may sleep hungry,” said a netizen.
