I don't really know how to compose this message but I will
start somehow....
1. The kids that were sent out of School for School fees
which later turned to blessing in disguise
2. Mr Akin Fadeyi, Mr Gani Olowu and Mr Adun Martins that
ran into the kids and paid School fees on 17 students... Hmmm, I think these
set of men are rare in Nigeria
and deserve tgo be celebrated
2. The kind hearted Nigerian based in UK that offered
tgo pay School fees of 2 Secondary Students till they graduate, I think such a
man ought to be celebrated
1. From the story I got from Mr Akin's facebook timeline, I
was moved and blessed and I had to start praying for these set of people, they
happened to be the Solution to these kids problem.
17 of those kids were sent out of School because of School
fees i.e. N2,350 each. (You can read the full story on his timeline), these
visionary men instructed the kids to write their names and reachable phone
numbers on a sheet of paper and told the kids to go home and MUST return to
School the following day. These men went to the School principal to ask all
that happened and confirmed that they were indeed sent out of School, to cut
the story short, these men cleared(paid) the fees on these kids same day. Note:
God picked calls of 17 kids at a time
That same day I guess, Mr Akin took to his facebook account
to share his experience and solicited for help for kids in School that are
having financial challenges. God miraculously sent a man called Mr Tope Ayedun,
a Nigerian based in UK
who offered scholarship to two students from same school (i.e. The less
privileged ones). The two students are RAMATU ALIYU and ABEL AUTA.
Here is another area of Mr Akin's post that caught my
attention
yesterday, ABEL AUTA soberly renounced cult involvements
which he was inexcusably pushed into out of frustration and quest for delirious
escapism. Tope, I know you don't like me to do this, but covering this act of
goodness is tantamount to covering SMOKE with BASKET
Nairalanders, I think we need gto first celebrate and
appreciate these three men that took it upon themselves to invest in the kids
future and Mr Tope Ayedun that offered to assist two of the kids on
scholarship.
The CHANGE we are shouting begins with us, better Nigeria starts
from you...
I remember a quote that states... EVERY CHILD IS YOUR CHILD
These year is indeed a year God is gonna pick calls of those
that earnestly desire Him for HELP
Pls let's push this to the from page to appreciate these
great men.
They deserve to be celebrated.
Let us as well join the cause or we initiate NAIRALAND's
version.... We have executed several humanitarian projects in the past, let's
keep the fire burning.
SHALOM
Last week I posted a picture and story on how I had to
intervene in the payment of the school fees of 10 secondary school students of
GSS, Mabuchi in Abuja
who were sent home for not been able to pay a fee we could ordinarily eat SUYA
with, or "hangout" with. Naturally, I do many things that I don't
post, because giving to the poor should be routine. Not that I'm rich but
because if you're able to feed yourself, you must share with others who can't.
If you're able to pay your child's school fees, you must consistently look out
for some children whose fees haven't been paid owing to social economic
inequalities. I posted that gesture to drive home the point that there's a
compelling imperative out there to touch lives. Same way we should not haggle
or quibble with a pepper and tomato seller until she sells to us at a price
without profit for her. We'll smile away but she'll SIGH in pain!
I want to say a BIG thank you to a very spirited Nigerian in
the diaspora, Tope Ayedun who read my post on these less privileged students
and has offered to pick 2 more from the school and pay their school fees till
they become secondary school graduands. Gàníyù Olówu and I went back there
yesterday to break this news and the Principal was excited and almost got
emotional.
The two lucky students in are RAMATU ALIYU and ABEL AUTA.
And wait for this...yesterday, ABEL AUTA soberly renounced cult involvements which
he was inexcusably pushed into out of frustration and quest for delirious
escapism. Tope, I know you don't like me to do this, but covering this act of
goodness is tantamount to covering SMOKE with BASKET...Its impossible!
