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... Source; http://www.nationalhelm.net/2017/05/see-what-man-did-for-carpenter-who.html 252 Likes 14 Shares

If we have more of people like this; who never forget acts if kindness towards them, who always want to give back, this world would be more fun to live in. A random act of kindness can open so many doors in the nearest future. So, never stop helping people. May God bless and keep this man to fulfill his promises to the man. May our book of remembrance be opened sooner than expected. Amen. 176 Likes 8 Shares |

wow. I stayed opposite de carpenters line during my IT days. Adjacent to those shops is an Orthodox church and opposite Is a 3 storey building in which I stayed. Na there be the headquarters of Absu Mafia cult group. There is a car wash close by. The carpenters were nice to me. In the evening wen Eva I was bored I'd come down to their shops to watch them play draft board game. I'm really missing Okigwe town. 124 Likes 5 Shares |
