This reminds me of when I went for aptitude test into the University( 2007). My friend and I were given a place to sleep and well taken care off by a total stranger having understood our predicament .... The next morning we continue our journey. May God bless you! Quite a benign family.

Two things that really touched me .
1.I sent someone to help me get some stuff gave him 200k cash ,he misplaced d money somewhere 3weeks later!!! a stranger found d money and returned it all! It was so strange to me but yes he returned it.
2. Along Benin (aduwawa)-Auchi road many years back I was rescued by a stranger from ritualist. It's a story am willing to share someday on naira land .. Can't forget that day in a hurry .Nigeria and Brazil had a friendly match at Abuja stadium (Ronaldinho and the likes) it ended 3-0 in favor of Brazil. Indomie children 'cannot can'.
How e take return am?

It was during my youth service in Ogun state my PPA rejected me,the PPA was a contractor in larfage cement and he only needed a Mechanical engineer and I studied Computer Engineering. I was so troubled and one Corp member told me to go to elephant house in Ikeja gave me a name and on getting there, i requested for the man like i knew him before and i never knew he has passed my side although i greeted him.The receptionist then told me that it seems i dont know him in person that he just passed my side and then i was allowed to see him in the office and narrated my ordeal to him and he started calling to check if the was any vacant space for in Ewokoro and Sagamu he even told them that I'm his younger brother and I was giving a space in Ewekoro to do my youth service.God bless him wherever he may be.his name is Mr Jolayemi

Mr Jolayemi is a very nice man. Gentle and easy going.

A beggar I gave money at Oshodi, added to my tfare when the money left with me wasn't enough for transport


A stranger helped with my Nysc relocation

Two Nairalanders have given me money twice each and I don't even know their moniker.

Someone told his younger brother to accommodate me and my lil brother before we could get our accommodation then(school period). Strangers


But I am still looking for that stranger to give me a job or help me with government work.

Needed money desperately but unfortunately for me GTB blocked my account with no prior warning until l went to a Pos joint to withdraw and it wasn't going through . I was confused and the man saw me and was like ;"I would give you the money you want to withdraw provided you will bring my money back after sorting out the issue with the bank the next day", words could not describe my happiness and surprise because he didn't know me .

I have been looking for a way to meet with him again and appreciate in my own little way for being a help in time of need.... His name is Mr Olumide.... Wherever you are sir, the young man you provided shelter for in 2005,is now a family man and a medical practioner in Europe.

I went to Lagos for the first time and got stranded and i really need to go back to enugu because I'm about to graduate and my final exam was the next day by 12pm, all hope was lost, that what i said to my self and didnt know what to do
I was on the road seeking help buh they thought I was a scammer. Some even cursed me(funny). Then after some hours, an Avalon ship came and the driver shouted Onitsha and he said 2k because the driver was going to anambra but God has his way of doing things. I told the driver my story and how I'm gonna miss my exams if he doesn't help me. To cut the story short, he brought to anambra (his hometown) gave me food and I took my shower at his house. Then in the morning he carried to my school to write my exams..
God will surely bless him for me and I will never ever forget what he did for me

In December 2019 at about 7pm, I suffered a road traffic accident opposite the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH). My car somersaulted on the express way. I was struggling with my seatbelt with my car still in the upside position when I saw people running towards me to come and help me out of my car and upright it. While I was trying to locate my phone and wallet, the guy who seemed to lead the rescue party noticed my worry, and reassured me that no one was interested in any such thing. They helped me get out of the car and my car out of harm's way.
It would mean a lot to me if even one of those guys who helped me out that night would read this and know that I treasure what they did for an utter stranger without asking for anything in return. God bless you all wherever you are!

I saw this topic in the morning, today, I bookmarked it for later browsing. I went out and did transaction of 25,000 naira to a wrong account number. I looked up the name of the receiver on Facebook, sent him a message, explained everything in details. After forth and back, he called me and sent the money back to me without asking for anything in return. Just today!
And he's an Igbo man, a clergyman.

You are are lucky. I am happy for you

During one of the EndSARS protests in Abuja. I entered a vehicle with others from CBD going to Lugbe, which is #150 per person. We never knew what lies ahead as we approach City gate to drive along the Airport road (Yar’adua Expressway) . We encountered a serious traffic gridlock as some motorists were even driving against traffic rules. We followed suit driving along the lane meant for those entering the city. While getting to Kuchigoro before Dantata bridge, the crowd and road block we met was overwhelming. The guy on the steering resides in Gwagwalada. Some passengers came down at that gathering of the protesters cos they feel they can walk to their respective homes from there without paying a dime. The car owner of car asked what about me, I told him that I am still going farther than Lugbe. After a few moments with him hanging there; thought of driving Berger through Kubwa-Zuba axis became the only option for him. That’s how he drove, encountered another traffic at Zuba flyover bridge and stopped me at Giri junction without collecting a kobo. Got home some minutes to 12am. May Almighty God keep blessing this man wherever he is because that night would have been a bad experience for me

I read through the comments and I'm Inspired to drop mine.

I'm a personality that has been helping the needy in my own little capacity.

Early last year, I travelled from Eket to Uyo for an examination. On reaching the centre, i was scammed by the IT operators to pay 800 naira for printing of exams slip. Tho, the price was inflated by those thieves, I had no choice but to pay.
And I had only one thousand for my transport back to Eket.
When I went in for the exams, to my utmost dismay and apprehension, the slip wasn't needed. I cried so hard. worst still, I wasn't with my phone.
A stranger I met in the exam hall paid my tfare...after I explained my predicament.

Tho, we lost contact! God will continually bless him.

I'm a popular sensational writer in the literature section, and I've not been able to complete my story titled "DESIRE" because of unavailability of a good device.
Secondly, My Mother has been diagnosed of arthritis, and unavailability of funds is really the problem.
All these has really dampened my inspiration and I've been thinking hard on how to raise funds for mum's treatment.

My hope is still in God and I trust him for help.

During the NIS job palava of Gej tenure, I traveled from Lagos to AkwaIbom through Young Shall Grow Motors, I picked AkwaIbom as my test centre because I just finished service there and looking forward to go back to the state.
I never knew the vehicle is carrying passengers going to different states (Abia, Ebonyi, Cross River and AkwaIbom) while akwa Ibom is the final stop. After getting to Abia at about 5pm, the driver took a route different to what I'm familiar with, since I'm not the only one and no one made any protest, I kept quiet, next thing I noticed that we are now in Ebonyi, entered Cross River through Ebonyi, 10pm, we got to Calabar, the driver said he is no longer going to AkwaIbom, that I have to sleep in the park and continue the next day, I was like when I have a job test the next morning, I went out of the park, asked around for how to get to AkwaIbom, I eventually boarded a taxi.
Entering the taxi, I met a 3passengers, I sat beside a lady, my usual self, either in need of help or not would not have talked to the lady as her dressing was just so off it for me (dressed like one of easy virtue), I told her where I was going, she was like why so late? She then alighted at my stop, took me to where to get bus easily, handed me over to the union guy still outside at the time, my phone was dead, she wasn't not with her phone either, I collected her number and wrote it down, she couldn't collect mine but she told me to call her when I get to my destination.
I called her the next day in the morning, line wasn't going through, sent her a text, it delivered after a day, called afterwards, but the line has never been available since then before I eventually misplaced it.
I still usually feel it's God that sent her my way as I don't even know her name. She even introduced me as her big bro to the union guy that she handed me over to.

Great!

But the main skills needed for this job are typing skills and creativity.

I will explain everything during the training.

Training lasts for a week and if you pass, you will receive an account with a password that works on a website where you would be responding to clients daily and getting paid weekly.

Good command of English is a must!

I have read good touching stories tonight that made me shade tears!
The stories are too good to be true and i tap in too, that someone someday will do same to me.
Though someone here last year offered me a job without meeting/ knowing and i rejected the job . Thank you sir wherever you are tonight.

I have been helping people all my life because of my kind heart
I have also come to understand here tonight that those things we hold so dear are nothing if we can share them with each other.
Let us continue to be the best/true version of ourselves.
I still need your help as you need mine.
