A Nigerian man got emotional like a baby when an Uber driver he hired discovered through his surname that his late father had funded the driver’s education.
The man shared this story on his page via the popular social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the post, he revealed that he had hired an Uber driver who, upon noticing his surname, asked some questions. The driver was curious to know if the man’s father had held a prominent position at a bank. After the man confirmed the identity of his father, the driver shared that he had been one of the beneficiaries of the father’s generosity, revealing that the man’s late father had funded his education, enabling him to earn a degree.
Upon hearing this touching revelation, the man became deeply emotional. He was moved to tears by the fact that his father’s legacy of kindness and generosity continued to impact lives, even after his passing. He could not contain his emotions, as he reflected on the significance of his father's good deeds and how they had touched the Uber driver’s life. The memory of his father, who had been gone for five years, became even more profound in that moment.
Sharing the experience on his social media page, he wrote: “After I made a transfer to my Uber driver and he saw my surname, he asked if my dad used to head a certain bank. When I confirmed that was true, he told me how my father funded the school he attended and made his education possible.”
“Even beyond the grave, this man’s deeds find me. And now I’m crying like a newborn, yearning for a man who has been gone five years.”
“They tell you it gets easier. I don’t know that it’s true. I do know that all I want for Christmas is to dance with my father again.”
As the post gained traction online, many individuals took to the comment section to share their thoughts and reactions. Some shared their own stories of how their parents' kindness had affected their lives, while others simply expressed their admiration for the emotional depth of the story. It was clear that the power of one man’s selfless actions continued to inspire others, even years later.
