The First Person I Gave Money Said, “God Bless You”, My Life Has Become Sweet, Says Hawker Who Gave Inmates Money

The Super Hawker

A hawker, who gave money to inmates in a Correctional Service vehicle in Ajah, Lagos State, has narrated how his life has changed after the gesture.

The 26-year-old, Ekuma Jeremiah Iziogo, in an interview with BBC Pidgin and reported by The Nation Newspapers, recounted how he hustled to secure admission into a higher institution and he dropped out because of inability to pay fees.

Speaking about the gesture that has since earned him a widespread commendation from many Nigerians, Jeremiah said it wasn’t planned with anyone.

However, he noted the act has transformed his life completely as he now lives a good life with money in his account.

He said, “As I was giving the prisoners money, the first person I gave money said, “God bless you.” When I gave the others, they said I would make good sales.

“At first, I was moved to give them water but seeing the way the irons built around the windows, I resorted to give them from the cash at held in my hand.

“I am Ekuma Jeremiah Iziogo. I am 26 years old. I used to be a student of Ebonyi State University, faculty of law but dropped out due to lack of money

“I didn’t think the money I gave to the prisoners will affect my market in anyway. On Sundays, I don’t go to market. I stay at home and still manage to eat.

“So, the money I gave them, I didn’t consider it would affect me because, others days, I get to save up some money.

“Even if I had given them all the money with me, I still had some money at home that I could use to feed. So like I said, I didn’t see the act affecting my business adversely.”

He added: ‘’Before coming to Lagos, I resided in Port Harcourt. There I was in different hustles. I sold cookies, chin-chin, charge, rat poison.
