We often overlook the kindness of those close to us while being captivated by distant acts of generosity.
Ogoyi Peace found herself in a challenging situation while trying to send an order at Benue Links Park in Makurdi for delivery to another state. Communication with the driver was frustrating, as he demanded a fare that exceeded her budget. Despite her efforts to negotiate, the driver remained unyielding.
Fortunately, a good Samaritan named Shije Blessing witnessed the exchange and decided to intervene. She spoke with the driver, persuading him to reconsider his stance and even insisted that he refund part of the fare already paid by Peace.
Though this act of kindness may seem small, it had a powerful impact on Peace, who later shared her experience on Facebook. Many people responded, affirming Shije Blessing’s reputation for kindness and recalling instances where she had supported them in difficult times. Just like Shije Blessing, we should all strive to be ambassadors of kindness in our communities.
