Nigerian socialite, Obi Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana has offered scholarship and employment to a kind-hearted Lagos street hawker, Ekuma Jeremiah, who was caught camera giving money to inmates.
Obi promised to train him up to master`s degree and give him
top level position any of his businesses, adding that if the buy chooses to do
something else other than going back to school, he will be supported.
Read Obi Cubana's statement:
“I will see him through the university and if he wants to do
master abroad, I will make sure he is comfortable while going to school because
like I said earlier, that is the best we can do for him.
“He will do university, anything he wants and then by God`s
grace I know I will be standing by, the time he is done with school, he has a
place in any of my organisations at the top level and if by God`s grace he
finds a higher calling, you see there is nothing tied to this, I do not expect
anything in return.
"I am not giving any condition for this but if he chooses not
to go back to school we can now hear what he wants to do and then we see him
through.
"The most important thing is to know that he has in me a
mentor. He has in me a life guide in me. I will make it easy for him through
God so I believe that God will give me health and strength.
"The guy will go to university of his choice in good
condition not just to pay school fees. He has a heart of gold. This is the kind
of people we need.
"I pray that people will do eye service to get my attention. let
them do this kind of thing, in doing that you don`t know when you get used to
it, the world becomes a better place.”
