At a park where he was to take a bus, he saw a hawker named Suleiman Ibrahim and, jokingly, requested N500 and a soft drink, promising to refund the money via transfer.
The lad not only offered Williams the drink, but he also gave him N500 and his account details and phone number. Suleiman then left, wishing Williams a safe trip.

Williams said he was shocked by the lad's kindness, as hawkers only collect cash upfront for their wares.
"Nigeria needs more "Suleimans" out there, who are not blinded by tribal and religious sentiments," a grateful Williams said.

"Just on Friday we went to buy charging flex for a fone. This hausa guy gave us acct number and after transferring the funds, he didn't bother to check. He said we can go."
Vanessa Duke said:
"I had the same experience when I went to buy Irish potato, the transfer didn't go through, d hausa guy( not my customer o, I don't know him) just gave me his phone number and account number. I later made the transfer and called him to thank him. Meanwhile, some people with pos in the same market are refusing to sell except you buy cash through their pos. I kuku went home without buying from such greedy people."
Zainab Mohd Makki said:
"Hausa man for you.. Thats why i am always proud of my tribe.. Not everyone can boast of kindness as an hausa man... Kindness and humility is born in the north.. No one can even come close..."
Man takes hawker out with his salary
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a kind man had taken a hawker out with part of his salary.
The good Samaritan revealed his grandmother was a regular customer of the hawker, "Bra Amos", though others came to her for her to buy their products as well.
While on his way from the bank one day, the man recalled seeing Amos sitting quietly under a shed.
''I asked him what's wrong and if he was okay. He said he was okay and was taking a little rest before continuing hawking."
