On a remarkable journey of kindness, Irene Ubani, a Nigerian woman, has made a significant impact in the life of a young boy, Deji, who was once a street beggar in Lagos State, Nigeria.
According to Irene, Deji used to ask for alms at her bus stop, but with her help and collaboration with the commissioner of education in Lagos state, Folashade Adefisayo, he is now enrolled in school.
Sharing her story on social media, Irene expressed her gratitude to everyone who supported her in rehabilitating Deji, including her friends and the Lagos State staff at the ministry of education, who welcomed him.
Deji's transformation is a testament to the power of kindness and compassion, and Irene's selfless act has inspired many.
As reported by TUKO.co.ke earlier, a similar story of kindness was shared by Melissa, a 19-year-old American woman, who picked a Nigerian boy, Anejado Paul, off the street 19 years ago and helped him become a medical doctor.
