Man receives N5 notes from area boy
Identified on X as @Sam_Ekpewheni, the man explained that he had developed a habit of giving small financial support to 'area boys' over time.
Because of this pattern, he initially assumed that being stopped by one of them during the festive period meant another request for money.
Expecting nothing other than that, he remained cautious but receptive when the young man approached his vehicle.
Contrary to his expectation, the encounter however took an unexpected turn for the better.
Instead of asking for assistance, the area boy decided to return the kindness he had consistently received.
He presented the man with a neatly wrapped pack of N5 notes amounting to N500, and the man accepted it with genuine appreciation.
He still valued the gesture despite the 'small' amount, recognising the effort and intention behind it rather than the monetary value itself.
In his words:
"One of the area boys I give money to regularly, stopped me. Since it's festive period, I thought he wanted to demand more. I rolled down the passenger's windows, and he said: "It's my turn to dash you money today". Handed me this parcel of N5. I was happy. And, It took me over 3 hours before I realized he gave me only N 500. Even after realising I still appreciated it, because it came in a special packaging. Doesn't matter how small. Gift people this season."
