Two years ago, during harmattan, fire tear through Mile 12 market. I dey my stall when I hear people dey shout "fire! fire!" Before I fit blink, the whole section don burn. My savings for my daughter's school fees, the money wey I hide inside my box, e don turn ash. I just stand there dey look, my heart dey beat fast fast. I no fit cry, my body just dey shake. My daughter go soon be expelled, creditors dey call me. That night I kneel down pray, I say "God, you see me?" The next morning, one woman wey I never meet before, she come give me envelope. She say she hear my story, she want help small. Inside na fifty thousand naira. E no cover everything but e show me say God dey. Chai, that woman na angel. I later gather small small, pay the fees, and rebuild my stall. Since that day, I know say when everything don finish, God still dey. And that woman? I still dey look for her to thank am again. 🙏
