Took a taxi to Rigasa train station after work yesterday,was to return my young cousins back to Abuja.

It was chaos as the kids,jumped played,screamed and even fought in the taxi. On getting to the train station,both the driver and I offloaded our several luggages,I paid him and he left..

We joined the queue to purchase our tickets and on getting to my turn,after asking them to give me 5 tickets,I turned to my purse to pay and behold,it was gone, there was no purse!

I searched all our luggage,but couldn't find it,told the guy issuing the tickets to hold them for a while,that I'd be back.Took the kids to a corner and we all sat thinking of what to do.All my cash was in my purse and the purse was gone!

I got very worried,scared and confused,as I sat trying to hide my fear from the kids,I started making contacts, to get a solution. At this point I was only thinking of how to simply get back to my home in kaduna. I had decided to abandon the idea of traveling to Abuja.

The kids became impatient as they saw the train had started boarding, I told them,it was already filled up and we may have to return home to reschedule our trip for the next day. As kids will always be kids,they started screaming and crying.

My confusion got worse,in all the chaos I could barely think straight. As I sat there very worried and trying to think, a young man who was also on the queue boarding for Abuja, left his queue and came to me,he asked,what the problem was,and at this point before I could say there's no problem,the kids told him,they wanted to go home and I told them the train is already filled.

He came a bit closer and asked,Hajia what's the problem,you know the train isn't filled yet. As I still refused to say anything to him,he understood,went away and came back, and squeezed 5tickets in my hand and simply said,get up let's go!

I stood up in shock, my hands were shaking and tears just started rolling. He said,you don't trust me,because I wear a rosary around my neck? My name is Okechukwu,what's yours? I told him,he helped us with some of our luggage and we boarded!

Throughout the journey,I kept wondering, how a stranger could spend so much,selflessly.considering the fact that the train fares had been recently hiked! But he felt I wasn't relaxed,so he didn't even talk to me,he just kept playing with the kids.

On arrival,My uncle was waiting to pick us up at Idu train station. On seeing my uncle, I hurriedly rushed and told him what happened and asked him to pay the young man back and thank him too.

But to my surprise Okechukwu simply shook my uncle hands, refused to collect any money and left. My Uncle kept calling him,but he didn't even look back. I also wanted to ask for his contact, but I felt too shy and didn't want people to misunderstand my intentions.

Throughout the evening, I became restless and desperately wanted to find him,so i started searching for him on Facebook to identify his full names and photo. Just to say thank you again, but I've not been successful.

They say the Igbo's don't like the Northerners and vice versa,but yesterday, it was an igbo man, who came to my rescue.

Most Nigerians are good,warm hearted people.
God bless you sir Okechukwu, wherever you are.please inbox me,if you ever read this!

Sir,

First off, I am not aware if you know that the latest breakthroughs in lighting systems powered by LED technologies deliver brightness at as low as 5watts, yes and these lightings work on our present system design. Most of the gadgets for those who buy latest innovations in technologies do not consume more than 200 watts.

An electric vehicle on the average consume 34 kWh to travel 100 miles, that is 3,400 watts hour to travel 100 miles, and I personally do not move outside Lagos with my cars so, I hardly drive 20 miles a day. So I need 3400 divided by 20 which equals 17 watts and actually my refrigerator uses 200 watts, so you see, I need less power per hour than my refrigerator needs to keep the electric car running every hour.

Those are my calculations, you can do yours and trust me, when you know the Truth about electric cars, you will understand why I believe that Dangote designed a $18b Whitepaper to build a refinery, cos he knows;

1. The Refinery is not worth that amount
2. Politicians will rush in to hide illicit wealth
3. In the next 10 to 20 yrs refinery is shutdown for apparent reason, that fossil fuel is no longer very much used

Everyone is told they have lost their investments while he continues to stay rich. Needless to say that the politicians will make noise about it.

It is the best way to con these politicians. I am not saying Dangote is a con-artist, I am just saying his investments dont really make sense to me.

But hey, what do I know.
