VIDEO: VDM repays benevolent ex-neighbour with car gift
One good turn deserves several others as VDM repays former neighour's kindness and benevolence.
Popular social media activist Verydarkman has repaid the benevolence and kindness of a former neighbour, who he identified as ‘Baba Yoruba’.
VDM, in a video on social media, handed over the keys of a fairly used Peugeot car to the ex-neighbour, who he said helped him and the mother when they were living in a ‘face-me-I-face-you’ apartment in Baba Kwere, Abuja.
According to him, the man, a commercial driver, went out of his way to give them money despite taking his mother to and from the private school where she was working.
Sharing a video of the moment, VDM recalled what the man did to his family about 15 years ago, when they moved from Dagba to Baba Kwere.
“Every morning this man will take my mom to her work place. When he closes, he’ll take her back. When we don’t have food to eat. Sometimes he’ll say take N200, take N100.”
VDM said the financial assistance was significant to his family at the time, recalling how the money was sometimes used to buy basic food items.
“We will then use this money to buy dry Okro of N20 and oil N10 that time. Buy garri and water. Chop that one go sleep.”
Reflecting on how his family’s circumstances have changed, VDM said he had always promised himself that he would remember people who supported his mother while she was struggling to raise her four children.
He said gifting the man a car was his way of fulfilling that promise.
“I am happy today that I am able to fulfill one of the promises I made to myself which is when I make money I will remember everyone that helped my mother when she was struggling with the 4 of us.”
He described the man as someone who “really helped our family” and said the gesture was a form of appreciation for the support he received many years ago.
VDM accompanied the video with a message encouraging people to treat others well because circumstances can change.
“This man I just gifted this car really helped our family and today he is getting a pay back. This is a message to everyone that TREAT PEOPLE WELL, you don’t know tomorrow.”
He also expressed gratitude to God for enabling him to fulfil the promise he made to himself.
