The Day I Was Robbed, A Stranger Fed Me.

General 13 hrs ago

    ‎I was walking back from work that day.

    ‎No bike. No wallet. Just my tired body and my bag.

    ‎They came out from a corner three of them.

    ‎I didn’t struggle.

    ‎They took my phone, my ₦7,800 cash, even my wristwatch that wasn’t even working.

    ‎One of them slapped me before leaving.

    ‎I stood there.

    ‎Dust on my face.

    ‎My ears ringing.

    ‎I wanted to cry, but not because of the phone…

    ‎I was hungry.

    ‎I walked 40 minutes to get home.

    ‎Then I passed a mama-put joint.

    ‎I didn’t have the strength to pretend.

    ‎I sat on the bench outside.

    ‎Not to buy food just to rest.

    ‎The woman inside looked at me and said,

    ‎ “Oga, you look like say you never chop.”

    ‎I smiled weakly. Said nothing.

    ‎She served me rice and beans with meat.

    ‎I said,

    ‎“Ma, I don’t have money.”

    ‎She replied,

    ‎ “I didn’t ask.”

    ‎I wanted to cry.

    ‎It wasn’t the food…

    ‎It was the kindness when I expected nothing.

    ‎That was 4 years ago.

    ‎Today I pass that same spot every Sunday just to buy food and pay double.

    ‎Not because I’m rich.

    ‎But because I learned something that day:

    ‎Sometimes strangers show us the kind of love our family forgot how to give.
