You sef get example for everything wey happen for nairaland undecided
Sweetheart life has thought me a lot, so I always feel humble to share my experience because I believe one or two people will be inspired with it, I am not a slay queen and I won't tell you have gotten to the zenith of my goals in life, but I am grateful so far, also I tried my best in anyway to give hope to some people who feel all is lost. Many people are committing suicide because most of us don't care. We are too selfish that we only consider our own emotions, and mind you I am not ashamed to share my life experiences any time any day, when you humble yourself the lord will make kings stand for you. Many people are going through difficult time but they hide behind the key pad and act as if all is well but you won't know, humanity to me comes first before any other thing.

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...

Truly this story touched me so much and I shed tears simply because of your gratefulness to the carpenter's family and his colleagues... God will surely reward you too in multiple ways due to the little he did for you, and you didn't forget it after 20 year, almighty Allah will continue bless you and your family. Good tale.

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.

I dnt care where u come from.
I will keep telling u this..
I will take u serious when u quote yorubas to cautin them....
They are d ones causing the conflict here even topics that doesnt relate to tribalist stuff.
They would still twist it to make it tribal.

The comment the comment d guy made is not in anyway a tribalistic comment.
He was just appreciating his tribe and thats all.
But U left the people u will quote to caution and was qouting the wrong person for no jst cause.

Stop ur preaching its very annoying.
I dnt wana call u coward but u sound like one.
Becox the person u qouted did nothin wrong.! undecided

U mean u lived in that 3 story building?... wow.I also lived there in my final year though.
I was amongst the first set to live there in 2010. It's owned by a Catholic Priest.. It's My roommate and His Friends that joined Maphites and allowed other Maphites start coming to that lodge and now it has become a Haven for them .
