After the rejection, an older rider in a white polo shirt finally agreed to take him, despite the meagre fare on offer. That single act of compassion set the stage for what came next.

Once seated, the creator dropped the act and pointed to his hidden camera, explaining his real motive to the unsuspecting rider.

"I just say let me test you. I was looking for the kind person to help me," he said.

He then pulled out a thick wad of cash and handed it to the man, a total of N160,000. The gesture proved too much for the rider, who dropped to his knees in gratitude before pulling the creator into an embrace as bystanders looked on in disbelief.

The emotional shift from an ordinary, frustrating okada errand to a moment of surprising generosity has struck a chord with viewers.
