What is humanity without instances of kindness? A Nigerian man with the Twitter name Okikiola has proved that there are still ‘angels’ in the world who would do all to help those in dire need of assistance.

On Wednesday, September 9, the Nigerian man said as he was driving by when he saw a woman under the rain shivering. He said that his first thought was that perhaps the woman is not mentally okay.

After a second look through his side mirror, he saw that she has a bag beside her. His wonder made him stop as he drove back to her.

On a closer look at the sack, he realised they were filled with oranges. The woman told the man that she has only been able to sell one out of them.

When he asked her the cost of the whole ware, she replied N1200. The man was taken aback. He said he had to tell the woman he would come back because he had no money on him.

On his way to his car, he cried as he appreciated God for all His blessings which he had overlooked on his life, saying he was in no way better than the woman.

Okikiola said that the woman was well-spoken in English. On his way back to her, he gave her everything he could.

The Nigerian man added that through his act of help should not have been made public, he felt the woman needed more help than he could give.

On Thursday, September 10, he paid her another visit as he tried to open an account for her in her name but that initially proved abortive as she does not have any means of identification or BVN.

Someone reached out to him via DM and connected him with an NGO that would help set the account for her with a promise that it could be ready by Monday, September 14.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian woman, Fade Ogunro, gave hope to a young boy identified as Anthony Mmesoma Madu whose dancing video went viral days ago.

In the video that has been watched over 14 million times, the boy could be seen making amazing lines in the rain on a very wet floor

It was gathered that he is one of the 24 students at the Leap of Dance Academy in Lagos state, an academy founded in 2017.
