Man shares kind act from his former classmate and her family that moved him to tears

A man is expressing his gratitude for a kindness bestowed on him by hos former classmate. 

The man shared his story on X after someone on the platform asked: “Has someone been so kind to you that you just sit weeping uncontrollably?” 

The X user replied to the tweet, narrating how he was homeless after graduating from the University of Lagos and a female classmate came to his rescue. Her family ended up housing him for close to two years. 

He wrote: “Yes! Her name is Chisom Ogbummuo, my class mate who spoke to her dad on my behalf to house me for close to 2 years until I found my feet after school. 

“When we were done with school (UNILAG), I didn’t have where to live in Lagos. And I swore never to go back home (Kaduna). 

“I was the Faculty president of my set so I had my office to live in for some days until it was pertinent for me to give keys to the new administration. And that day it actually dawned on me that I didn’t have where to go. 

“Yemi, another classmate asked that I followed him to his in-law’s 3 bedroom apartment as they (his sister and husband were in the US for holidays). I had just stayed 3 days when one early morning Yemi woke me up that I had to leave as his brother was coming back that day. I was confused with my phone. 

“So, I called Chisom who was my best friend at the time, and she said, bring your things to Ago Palace Way (my first time there). I went, saw the dad, explained my ordeal and he allowed me in, the rest they say is history. 

“My first night in their house, I CRIED and CROED! 

“If I write a book, Chisom and her family will take 15% of the chapters. I will never forget!”
