1. Kindness and honesty. Languages that speak to me. Irrespective of social status, race or gender. I experienced both from strangers yesterday and it gave me hope that there are still great people out there.
2. I had to make a quick dash to the supermarket yesterday with my kids in tow. They kept bringing their biscuits back home everyday so I gathered they didn't like the biscuits I was buying. (Biscuits that they picked themselves before o🙄..both the larondo and the big one).
3. So I bundled them into my car to take them to the supermarket to pick their biscuits themselves. To be honest...it was just a way to get out as they were driving me bananas yesterday.
I recall I had my phone with me before entering the car but after driving for about 100m...

4. I couldn't find it again. I pulled to the curb and came down to look for it (With these boys screaming for me to come back in🙄 so we could go).
Drove back home to look for it and I asked my cousin to call the phone which I expected to find at home.

5. To my utmost surprise, someone picked it up and said he was looking for the owner of the phone 😮. He asked where I was and told me to come to the junction.
There were two bikemen waiting for me there with my phone.

6. They found it on the floor where I had pulled over to look for my phone. Thank God for Spigen cases. The case fell apart and they rearranged it. A car passing by was almost about to step on it. It must have been close to the door when I came down and I didn't notice it drop.
7. Blame it on exhaustion or the boys driving me bonkers (And one of them keeps asking me when I'll give him a baby sister🙄🙄)
When I started thanking them for bringing it back and how surprised I was..he said something that stuck with me.

8. 'Nigba ti ko kin se temi, bawo ni ma se wa mu, kin ma wa eni to ni?' (When it's not mine, why would I pick something that belongs to another and not return it to the rightful owner?). This was a phone they could have sold to get some quick cash...yet they chose to do right.
9. It was yet another learning point for me. That there are still honest and kind people out there who try to do right. Who are not interested in coveting other people's things. I was amazed at their kindness and honesty.
10. May God bless Baba Tuntun and Mr James. I took their contacts and I pray I can repay their kindness when they're in need of a helping hand.
