2019, Abuja. Ada missed her bus. Rain was falling.
Okada man stopped: `Madam enter. 500 go Wuse.`
*Ada:* `I only have 200.`
*Okada man:* `No problem. Enter. God will provide.`

He dropped her and refused to collect the 200. `Keep it. Buy Gala.`

Fast forward 2020. Lockdown. Ada lost her job.
She saw that same okada man at a junction. Tired, hungry.
She ran to him: `Baba, I have 1000. Take.`
*Okada man:* `No madam. I’m fine.` And he zoomed off.

2024. Ada now works in a big NGO. Good salary.
One day she was interviewing people for a driver position.
Door opened. Same face. Older. Beard.
*Ada:* `Baba... na you be this?!`
*Okada man:* _smiled_ `Madam 200. I remember.`

She hired him immediately. Not as driver. As Logistics Manager. 250k/month.
*Ada:* `Baba, why didn’t you collect my 200 that day?`
*Okada man:* `Because I saw something in you. You looked like someone God will lift. I just wanted to be part of the story.`

Last month, Ada got married. Guess who drove the bridal car?
Yes. Okada man. In suit. Crying like baby.

At the reception he told people: `I waited 5 years to see this day. And I didn’t collect interest on 200 naira.` 😂

*Moral:* The kindness you show when you have little, God will pay back when you have plenty.
