While I was passing through anyigba market square early hour this morning on my bike, the albino in the image Bellow who is a wheelbarrow pusher hit my bike and was murmuring at the same time. I asked him what the problem is, the first statement he made was “I was duped again by abubakar”, I asked who is the abubakar, he replied, “He is one of those who issues receipts to the wheelbarrow pushers in the market”. I asked why is he looking for the abubakar and the second statement was, “He has done his usual mischief in this market today again”, I tried to calm him down and to explain what has happened, he brought out a receipt which carries this write up “ANYIGBA WHEELBARROW PUSHERS” and showed me, “this receipt is #50 but each time I give him a higher denomination that requires me getting change, he will sneak and nothing will happen again, I couldn’t utter a word as I was despondently amazed of his brilliant and smart speech without gibbering
He explained further: I was trying to settle a customer when abubakar came to issue a receipt, I gave him his money without delay while I was still attending to my customer, but he made away with my change and he has done this on several occasions. But as far as today is concerned, I will use every measure to get my change in a swift resolution. He also said, Brother, let me go after him so he won’t have chance of denying the fact that he made away with my supposed change. Beholds, this Albino was speaking brilliantly and interligently, I was very happy to engage in a conversation with such a brilliant boy but also sad to find such a brilliant boy in his condition as a wheelbarrow pusher. I was happy & sad at the same time, but was still speaking to him to know more about him.
I asked him, “how much is the change”, he replied, ” is #50″ I also asked to know how much he made since he resumed work, he brought out all the money in his pocket and counted to be #850, he said, “brother, if abubakar didn’t dupe me today, I would have gotten #900 by now” then I couldn’t hold my emotions any longer. I asked him, will you spare abubakar if I give you money in place of your Change?, He said yes. I stretched my hand to give him the money and he knelt down before accepting the money from me.
I said to my self while looking up,(praying) “God, the best thing I enjoy doing most is to help the less priviledged. bless me as quickly as possible to do what I know how to do most…
I derive joy from helping people, expecially the poor.
I have been very sad since morning because the albino will still return to the market for his usual wheelbarrow pushing business and I couldn’t pick him and enrol him to school as am not financially ok for now and people who can won’t help.😞😞😞😞
But, I won’t rest until Albino is returned to school and stopped a wheelbarrow pushing work by the special grace of God.
