A grateful Ifeanyi begged netizens to reconnect him with the woman, as he wanted to give her N50k.
“Someone please help me find the woman… I have N50k for the woman that used to sell me food on credit when I was serving (starving) at Ibadan. She owns a shop adjacent my PPA, Holy Trinity Grammar School, Old Ife Road, Ibadan… she’s dark in complexion, elderly and doesn’t speak English frequently.
“She lived with a small granddaughter when I was there. Her shop is between the school and Ibadan Central Hospital. Unfortunately I have forgotten her name. It’s already 6 years.
“If you’re around that area, find her… I wanna speak with her and appreciate her kindness.
“She often gave kopas chilled water when we’re walking home from CDS. She sell groceries for me on credit until I received alawe. If not for her, I might have developed ulcer.
