Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za also reported that a Nigerian man who had a rough childhood and could not get what he wanted as a kid has put big smiles on the faces of public students. In a LinkedIn post, Chinedu Junior Ihekwoaba said that he remembered that he was once sent out of school for a $29 (R425) fee because his mother could not pay.
Chinedu disclosed that because he did not want people to know he was not going to school, he would dress in his uniform every morning and hustled instead. From his business, he was making $1.30 R20) daily. On the third day of faking going to school, the young man sprained his ankle.
Writhing in pain, a Good Samaritan saw him and noticed he spoke correct English. After knowing why he was not in school, he helped him. Chinedu revealed that since that encounter, he has vowed to “pay it forward” and help people. Sharing a photo, the man showed how excited the public students were when he gifted them pairs of socks.
