A touching scene unfolded by the roadside when a man inside a vehicle reached out to a visibly exhausted bottled-water seller and surprised her with a generous cash gift.
According to eyewitnesses, the man had called the woman from across the road as though he intended to buy water. The seller, looking tired but hopeful, hurried towards the vehicle expecting a regular sale. Instead, the man handed her two ₦500 notes as a first gesture. Shocked and grateful, the woman smiled brightly and repeatedly thanked him.

In an unexpected move, he also threw out additional bundles of money so others nearby could benefit from the act of generosity.
