A Nigerian realtor, Onyelike Darlington recounts the tear-jerking moment he stumbled on an old university student hawking buns at a market.
According to Darlington, this former classmate was one of the most brilliant students in their department at Imo State University, Owerri (IMSU).
However, the young man now earns a living by selling buns at a local market in the same state they both attended the university.
In a Facebook post, Darlington revealed how tears rolled out of his eyes upon seeing his former classmate in such a situation.
He comforted him with a hug and reassuring words, gave him some money, and handed him his business card.
“Tears filled my eyes today when i ran into one of the most brilliant student in my department at Imsu then, he is selling buns at EkeUkwu owerri market. I sincerely felt for him when i hugged him and told him not to worry. Anyway i had no option than to gift him some money and my complimentary card which he called me immediately. “Well Lets see what the lord will do,” he wrote.
The post has since generated a wave of reactions about the rate of joblessness in the country and the uncertainty of life.
