Social media influencer and blogger, Kel Armstrong Amobi, popularly known as KAA, has offered a university scholarship to one of the children of a stranger he met at a filling station due to the man’s benevolence and respect towards him.
According to Amobi, while in a queue, it was the turn of the man to purchase fuel, but he rather allowed him to purchase by going over to the next pump.
“This man moved past the immediate pump to wait for the car in the second pump. He did this to give me space to buy from the immediate pump. I was sincerely impressed,” Amobi said.
However, he added that, for some reason, he did not like the way the pump attendant treated the man, but what struck him was how the man maintained his cool in the face of maltreatment and insult.
“All of these things happened but the man maintained his calmness and patience. I knew he somehow felt that maybe I was treated better because my car is bigger than his own,” Amobi said of the man who drove a 406 Peugeot.
The social media influencer stated that he spoke to the man and offered to pay for his feel, which was N17,000, plus his own which was N30,000, making a total of N47,000.
Unfortunately, however, when the attendant’s POS machine refused to work, the man went to his car, brought out N47,000, handed it over to the attendant, and told Amobi that he could transfer the money to him later.
“We exchanged phone numbers and he texted me his account details. This man watched me leave without sending him his money right there,” he said.
Amobi added that he got home and instead of sending the man N47,000, he sent him N100,000, adding that the man – who he said was struggling to pay his children’s school fees − said the money would help him to complete his last child’s school fees.
“I told him that I will give one of his children a fully-funded scholarship up to the university level,” he added.
In another development, a few days later, Amobi announced that he would be purchasing the 2024 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms for 50 Nigerian students.
He stated that he was doing this because he believes “education is the bedrock of every success.”
