Awoniyi's attention was drawn to the kid, and he interacted with him kindly.
However, when Awoniyi sought to give him money, he rejected the £20.
According to Peter, his father warned him not to take gifts from strangers.
Nworah wrote:
"In a country where respect for older people is no longer very much obtainable, and young people armed with smartphones easily throw abuses at seniors online, I took notice and beckoned on the kid to please come back. We told him that we were impressed with the way he greeted us. Afterwards, I offered him a little cash gift in appreciation but he turned it down. When I enquired why, he said that his Dad forbade him from accepting things from strangers."
