    Shortly after arriving in Lagos, my guide showed me a story that was being passed around Nigerian social media. There was a woman who’d been stopped in traffic behind a crowded prison truck, and she witnessed a food vendor running alongside, shoving his food between the bars..."pic.twitter.com/8Al3Lz0O03

        Being generous has nothing to do with your income or social status. It only needs a big heart and gratitude. Such a precious soul this man has. I hope he find happiness wherever he goes, despite his wealth.

        could you provide a transcript of this image? the text is small, and, besides, people with screenreaders deserve to hear this story just as much with people with no visual impairments. just something to think about!

        The full story is written in text on Humans of New York Facebook page. Please try that. It's too long to post as a tweet unfortunately.

        This story makes me realize that generosity is not born out of abundance at all. Some humans are just amazing!!!

        Dear Brandon, one of the woman from your interview said, life is difficult but God is generous. This guy has a golden heart. His generosity to others shows humanity lives among us. May he deserves a bright future
