In his words:
"I desire a life of peace. Today, I preached to a thug. He gave his life to Christ. His name is Sodiq. A young man like me. This bro cried after I gave him 1k. He had asked for N200 before I even talked to him. Sodiq realized there was more to life today. He will be a great guy."
"You know, these people are hungry. His friends were begging me for money. I asked if they'd listen to me but they blew thick smoke in my face. Sodiq walked out of them, and told me he'd listen.
"Turned out we had a lot in common. I mentioned a childhood friend."
"We walked together under the hot sun on Lawanson road as he recounted his regrets to me, promising to change. He didn't have a phone, but he collected my number, and even my Twitter handle (I had told him about my account)."
Tweeps were impressed with the kind gesture and soon flooded the comment section of the young man to applaud him.
