Future Payment

A motorist Akpos was driving by a farm in Ogun, hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road. Akpos went to the owner of the calf (baba Risi) and explained what had happened.
He then asked what the animal was worth. "Oh, about N10000 today," said baba Risi. "But in six years it would have been worth N40000. So N40000 is what I'll take for it."

Akpos sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer.

"Here," he said, "is the cheque for 40000. It's post-dated six years from now."
