Many years ago when I was coming back from lectures there was this young sachet water hawker that was trying to rush to some group of students at our back but Lo and behold, his basket of sachet water fell from head and many busted.He started crying heavily and I was so moved because he might be staying with a guardian meaning he may see hell at home. I gave him a #200 note and he stopped crying. Since that day we became friends. He once came to my lodge and I gave him food.
God bless all the kind hearted men on earth
God bless you bros.

It always pays to do good because our good deeds always come back to us in the future.

Lalasticlala don't you agree? wink

The world is designed in such a way, that whatever you do, good or bad, comes back to you in multiple folds. The interesting part is that you don't even need to believe in the authenticity of this "law" to have it's effect in your life... Never get tired of doing good. For in due season...
Nice one @ OP

This happened to me two days ago on my way to Iyana Ipaja.

I was in a bus yesterday when I espied a "Galla" seller in the distance, manoeuvring his way through traffic. A driver in a blue camry had motioned him. Instead of waiting for the hawker to reach him, the cab driver increased his speed- fast enough to make the hawker start running to reach him.

The "Gala boy" kept on chasing him, hoping somehow, he would reach him and make a sale.

A trailer ahead caused the driver to slow down. Just then, the hawker reached him and lowered his carton of gala in fron of him.

Instead of picking one and paying immediately, the driver decided to pick one then dropping it immediately to pick up another. He continued this way, picking one up, squeezing it, and dropping it again.

Finally, he picked one up, examined it for a while—and just when I tthought he would pay—he dropped it and zoom of.

The hawker couldn't believe what had just happened. He stood there like a statue, carton of gala in hand. I could tell from a distance that he wasn't happy.

The blare of a bus coming behind startled him back to consciousness.

I alighted from the bus, crossed to the other side of the road, and headed towards his direction. I slowed down my pace when I spotted him from afar heading towards me. He was about to walk past me when I stopped him.

"Guy how far, Give me four Gala there," I said.

"Which type bros, " he replied calmly, setting his carton of Gala on his thigh"

"Normal Gala guy," I replied, handing him a neat N200 naira note.

" Thanks," he said, his frown transformed into a smile as he raised the carton and balanced it on his strong shoulders.

"No probs guys." I said.

After a few steps, I turned around and saw him selling to another customer. I smiled, crossed to the other side and boarded another bus.

Life is not that HARD, yet we make it HARD via our actions.

Do something that will make someone smile today. Look for someone around you who is feeling down, and say something to life them up.

Look for that person in your life that you have been having issues with. Forgive them or apologise--then MOVE ON.

Life is too short to be keeping malice.
Make someone happy today.


Sorry no pictures or video. There was no reason to snap the guy.

this happened during my nysc days in lafia, Nasarawa state. I was on the bike heading to market to buy food stuffs, I noticed a small Hausa girl crying with her stuffs on her head, I think she sells food. she crying out loud and screaming also creating a scenario, she was speaking Hausa language and serious wailing. I told the biker to stop, I told him to ask what went wrong, she said some folks ate and absconded, I asked how much was the bill, she said #600, I gave her a #1000 note and she stopped crying. I do these things often. I find it convenient. It's good to help others in need.
