Man mourns death of ice cream vendor
The account was posted via his official account identified as @drewbaby.
He explained that he had been staying in an apartment on the mainland, in the Ikotun area, at a late hour while with a friend.
A strong craving for ice cream led him to search online for outlets that might still be open. A particular brand was recommended to him, and he located its Instagram page.
From the contact details in the bio he messaged the business through WhatsApp and placed an order despite the late time.
He did not expect a response at that hour, yet the staff replied promptly. He noted that he placed his order and changed it after a receipt had already been issued.
The staff remained patient throughout the process. Concerned about security and doubtful that delivery would reach the mainland so late, he hired a dispatch rider through an app and had the rider collect the order on his behalf.
He said the rider took a long time to reach the vendor, but was still received warmly when he arrived.
The ice cream was delivered to the apartment about half an hour later.
He described it as the best he had ever tasted. The packaging impressed him because each cup was sealed in nylon and a large block of ice was placed on top before the entire package was wrapped, a method he had not seen before.

He felt this showed care, especially since the business believed the customer was on the island.
The following morning he opened Instagram and was shown a recent post from the same page.
It announced that the owner had died. He said the news affected him greatly because he did not know her personally, yet her approach to customer service stood out in an environment where such care was rare.
He reflected on how the staff who attended to him reflected the owner’s values, remaining courteous even when he was indecisive late at night.
When he checked the comments under the announcement, he observed that many people described her as calm and kind.
The young man described the news of her death as deeply painful, particularly because she represented a standard of service that he felt was missing among many vendors at the time.
He conveyed a great sense of loss over the departure of someone who had demonstrated professionalism and respect toward customers, qualities he believed were becoming scarce.
He also urged people to continue supporting the late vendor's business despite her absence, as a way to honour her memory and to acknowledge the care she had instilled in her staff.
