Nigerian Man Remembers His Friend Who Gifted Him 50,000 For Transport, Lunch & Clothes When He Started His First Job 9 Years Ago

Nigerian man on Facebook named Oluwanishola Akeju has gone down memory lane as he remembers his friend who supported him when he got his first job 9 years ago.

Oluwa narrated how he started the job broke, he had no money for transport at the first month of the job. He shared the good news about the job with his friend and ate lunch at his place, but he was afraid to request money from him. Oluwa who was at the verge of selling his generator at a giveaway price, suddenly received an alert of 50k from his friend even though he never asked him. He encourages others to support friends who has been unemployed for long than just congratulate them.

Sharing a throwback photo at his first job 9 years ago, he wrote:

“It’s 9 years today, when I got my first white collar job, I was overwhelmed. I visited a friend and shared the news with it him.

A day before then; it was in his house I ate lunch. The only food I took that day. I was ‘broke’.

He was so happy for me.

But the challenge was how I would raise my Tfare for the first month. I didn’t know how to tell him.
A thousand naira a day was my Tfare.

Till I left him; I couldn’t summon the courage to ask him for his assistance.

I got home and I picked up my ‘Generator’,
then I met with a gen repairer. I asked if he could buy it at any reasonable price.

He priced it at a very ridiculous amount I can never imagined. But I needed the money as I was so in need and desperate.

While we were still battling with the price, I received Fifty thousand naira transfer alert from same friend.

I didn’t believe it. It looks like five hundred thousand.

I quickly picked up my Gen and went home straight.

I rang my friend. He told me, I should make use of the amount for the month and get some shirts and a pair of shoe too.

I was speechless.

When a friend gets a new job after years of deep unemployment; you can go further than wishing them congratulations by assisting them for the first month with the little you can.

This goes a long way, for the lunch, the Tfare and clothes.”.
