Speaking on one experienced that showed him pepper while growing up in Lagos, Ruger said:

This was when I was not wise. So I just started working in Computer Village at that time, I just got to Computer Village, that's my first time getting to Computer Village. I just started working, learning the job, repairing phones and things. So there's this brother that came to our shop one day. That time I still be small boy, I just komot from secondary school so I no really know about that crazy life. So this man came and said he wanted to repair phone. So my boss was trying to repair a phone that he brought to the shop. So my boss went to buy something. So it was remaining only me and him in the small kiosk there. So I sha see say the guy dey look my phone, the guy was looking at my phone and saying "ah, this your phone is actually nice". He was looking like a better guy, he was looking like a good guy, and me sef I was liking his energy. I was feeling the guy's energy. So the man told me "ah, nice phone" as he was looking at it. That's how he now said "Ah, he feels like eating shawarma oh". I said "ah ah, boss dem dey sell shawarma". I was trying to be nice and I wanted to chop small money from him in case he tips me. Greed! [laughs]. Na so this man give me money say make I go buy shawarma o. Omo he gave me like 1k, said buy for yourself too. I was saying "ah ah, such a nice man!" I said okay, that remaining N500, I would keep it for myself when I'm going back home. I'll just buy the shawarma and give him. As I go buy shawarma, come back, omo baba don move. Took my phone. I first thought maybe he went to go and buy something, that's how my boss came and was like ah ah, that guy said he's already going, that he would come back another time. Ah, I wanted to faint there. I just carried the shawarma like so because of shawarma! They carried my phone, leave me with shawarma and N500.
