In January 2021, a young man identified as Ekuma Jeremiah, who usually sold bottled water along the road in Lagos State, was seen giving out money to inmates who were being conveyed in a vehicle.
His act of compassion, got the attention of the public, which resulted in him being favoured by people, Nigerian business man and socialite, Obi Cubana.
The young man shared his experience, stating how he strived to start several businesses in order to earn money to further his education and eventually got admitted to study law at a university in Ebonyi State, but had to drop out because he lacked money to pay his fees.
He decided to move to Lagos from Port Harcourt where he lived, to venture into business, of which he started hawking water to survive.
He said he hardly slept or ate good food but his life changed for better after he was seen being generous to prisoners.
Obi Cubana has awarded him with a scholarship as well as another Nigerian who promised to give him 100 thousand Naira monthly, till he concludes his studies.
Obi Cubana also stated that he would sponsor him if he desires to further his education abroad after he earns his bachelor’s degree.
Jeremiah has been overwhelmed by the favour he has received from Obi Cubana and every other person who has helped change his life.
