About a month ago, one Ibere Ugochukwu became an internet sensation for his act of kindness witnessed by someone in traffic in Lagos, who shared it online.
Though being a hustler on the streets of Lagos, Ibere decided to render help to some prisoners – the prisoners were being transported in a Nigerian Prison Force van heading to Ikoyi Prison but were stuck in traffic.
As usual, the prisoners stretched out their hands through the tiny holes by the sides of the van and the Gala seller’s next action was what took everyone by surprise.
Ibere took the Gala he was selling and began distributing it to the prisoners for free. When the van began moving, he dropped his basket by the side of the road, grabbed a handful of Gala and ran after them to make sure everyone gets a share.
Recently, the Humans of New York, an online platform known for sharing inspiring posts, caught up with him and he shared his own story. He revealed that he was once a prisoner who was sent to prison by a wicked boss.
