A little kindness helps. Let us not relent in showing kindness, it helps in situations we can't see.

I fear for the future with the likes of your kind ridden in tribalism and sectionalism
Nigeria is in this mess today because of these menace of tribalism.... the right people are not placed in the right office because of these cankerworm
our elders did same and now we the youth are toiling same path...
it is so painful we see ourselves as first belonging to our tribe than our nation...as such the reason for primordial sentiments against civic or national sentiments....
a man can steal from the nation treasury and he is so sure his people will back him up ....
it is good we learn to avoid tribalism if we really want a bright and glorious future as youths
you really need to pray for yourself.... because one ridden in tribalism can't love much because tribalism will forbids the Love of God from finding an expression....
God sees no skin color neither does he see tribe but our hearts....

This story is just here to encourage others to show kindness and remember to give back. God's blessings to you for wiping the tears off the eyes of the poor. Tomorrow when your descendants become great for such an act of kindness, we will be wondering why, how. You have done well and finish the work joyfully.
God bless you

A Nigerian man identified as Onyebuchi Emenanka who graduated years back from Abia State University ABSU has paid a 20-year-old debt to a carpenter who helped his almost twenty years ago... Read what he shared on his Facebook page below few days ago;

PAYING A 20 YEAR OLD DEBT

Today, I decided to put a big smile on someone's face. When the ABSU event was over and on my way back, I did a stop over at the place where I used to live as a student on Agiriga Street Okigwe.

My mission was simple - to pay a surprise visit to my old neighbors, who are mostly local carpenters and petty traders.

I moved into that area sometime in 1998 and lived there till 2001 when I graduated. My brother Chiemezie Nwakanma was living there then and helped me secure the room. We were next door neighbors. Iyke Aaron and Chizuru Kanu later joined us there.

There is this particular carpenter who was so kind to me then. He would do my carpentry works free of charge and will lend me money whenever I was broke. I didn't pay back most of those monies. The Mbano man was just nice to me and treated me like his own son.

The man has a penchant for speaking high sounding grammar and we named him the Professor of Carpentology, a title he cherishes so much... Heheheheheheheh.

17 years after, I stormed the place today and it was a big party.

I ensured that there were drinks of different kinds and food to go round. All the carpenters stopped work to welcome their old neighbor. The women were not left out.

I told them stories of how that carpenter assisted me greatly and without seeking any pay back from me. I thanked all of them for the kindness and love they showed me then. They were all amazed that I could still remember all of that almost 20 years after.

The carpenter had a set of male triplets while I lived there. They are all grown now and one them works with him in his shop. He said the boy is brilliant but he has no money to train him in school. He lost his wife a few years ago.

There and then, I announced that I will send him to the university and bear the cost of his training. The man broke down in tears. I told him that his son should get a better life than he had. I am fully committed to keeping that promise. I shall help secure admission for him and see him through school. Who knows? He may be the channel through which God will liberate the family from the vicious cycle of poverty and deprivation.

It was a great day today as we drank and relived old times. I ensured that each of them got some small cash in their pockets. Before I took my leave, they all asked me to kneel down while they said some prayers that touched my soul.

I felt a deep sense of fulfilment today.
Yes...

God bless you man.
I know some of us can remember vividly every evil that was done to us 10, 20, or even 30yrs ago but find it very hard to remember any good deed anyone has done for us.

my advise play down the evils and hurt in your life; and hype the good. it makes life worth living.

Lol....unfortunately I am not a Yoruba neither am I an IBO....I am even more closer to the later because I have IBO cousins...
I rarely comment on politics section because of these doldrum of tribalism feasting on the minds of some of the youths...on these platform, unfortunately our political class know this and they keep exploring it every time to milk us dry.

I hate tribalism in all circles... u don't know me at all and there is no need to expose myself to you.
you need prayer more than anyone else because you view everything from the prism of tribalism
...for the love of God to really find expression in u and through you...you've got to let go of tribalism and begin to love same way God loves you.

God bless the big man, if my neighbour in 1996 was kind enough to give me biscuit on credit which I wanted to use in feeding my kid brother who was hungry, I would have appreciate her even in her grave. Unfortunately she chased me away and I went back home crying because there was nothing at home and my brother was just a year old. She died mysteriously some years ago and was buried poorly without any ceremony, while she had children even grandchildren, she is from orlu.

You sef get example for everything wey happen for nairaland undecided
