In the course of everyday life, humans occasionally exhibit exceptional virtues that paint in bright light the inherently kind nature of societies. In Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, a determined young woman encounters her benefactors while seeking her daily livelihood.
Ms. Doofan Immaculate Bemalu, an undergraduate studying Biochemistry at Benue State University, faced uncertainty regarding her basic needs, including tuition fees. Rather than succumb to despair and lament about how unfair life is, she secured employment at a timber yard in Makurdi, where she loaded planks onto vehicles to earn money for her education and reduce her dependence on others. This proactive attitude is increasingly rare in today’s society where many complain without actually taking action.
Her fortunes changed dramatically when Ukan Kurugh, a well-known humanitarian and advocate for social justice, discovered her story and shared it widely on socia-sphere. Just like in any case where grace meets efforts, Without the need for lengthy discussions or committee approvals, her situation transformed as numerous philanthropists stepped forward to cover her tuition through to her master’s degree and provide additional support for her well-being.
This narrative offers valuable insights: while the generosity of individuals is commendable, it is equally important to recognize the remarkable virtue of a young woman who chose action over complaint in the face of adversity. Grace and blessings often find those who strive diligently; serendipity does not simply deliver grace—it meets individuals halfway.
May our sincere efforts lead us to success and blessings as we continue to Take Action, Living Kindly (T.A.L.K).
