A boy, Ashamu Lekan, whose hope in life dimmed because his parents died has called for help. His cry for assistance was brought to Twitter by a man with the handle @AnatuGreen.
The man said he met the young boy at a mechanic shop where the boy is an apprentice after he dropped out of school.
In a short video by @AnatuGreen, the boy while working on the tricycle introduced himself in a clear spoken English language as he talked about his need for education.
According to him, the boy said he is willing to go back to school if he gets help. The man attached two photos of the boy wielding a spanner beside a tricycle.
@AnatuGreen is already working on raising funds for him. He said the mission is to put N5 million in an education trust fund so he does not have to worry about fees for years. Nigerians had a lot to say about the boy's ordeal. Below are some of their reactions: @kingsleyegbe01 said: "This world no balance.
