As shared by Nurudeen Adeyemi on LinkedIn.

A young boy was hawking groundnut and the footballers of FCMB who were about playing a novelty match and the Group Chief Executive was in attendance, in which everyone was in a joyous mood, called the boy and asked him to sell all the groundnut to them.

After he gave them the groundnut, he was asked the cost and he said everything was #2,100.00k, Ladi Balogun, the Group Chief Executive of FCMB Group Plc, asked his PA to give him #10k but the young boy refused saying he doesn’t know how to explain to his mother where he got #10k, instead of #2,100 Naira.

He refused the money that his mother will not accept the money. Ladi was touched, he collected the money back from him and asked him to go and bring his mother.

The mother was afraid and was crying but Ladi told her what happened and how impressed he was with the young boy upbringing and the boy was eventually given a scholarship for his uprightness and integrity,

The boy’s father is late and was brought up by his mother with other siblings. Despite their condition, he still held on strongly to their family values.

The best way to encourage truthfulness in your child is to be a truthful person yourself, your child takes his cues from you, so you must try to avoid any kind of deception, even a seemingly innocuous one.
