A heartwarming old video showing the moment late Dr Chike Akunyili, husband of late NAFDAC boss Dora Akunyili, helped an elderly hawker has gone viral on social media.
While Nigerians continue to mourn the untimely demise of Dr Akunyili, his daughter, Chidiogo shared the video of him.
In the video, the late doctor was seen counting wads of cash while an elderly plantain seller is spotted jubilating and singing his praises.
The woman couldn’t believe her eyes and rained prayers on him for the kind gesture.
Chidiogo shared it with the caption;
”The load of our grief is lessened by videos such as this. The story goes that on his way home, he saw an old woman with a heavy wheelbarrow full of plantains. He continued home, got the needed cash and came back to where she was, and proceeded to buy all her plantains.
He counts out the money to the soundtrack of her cries of joy and blessing as she dances away. “Nothing is as good as giving joy,” he adds, a happy smile on is face.
⠀
Thank you all for your condolence messages in this time of immense mourning. Our joy is to know that we do not grieve alone, and our hope continues to be that his death not be in vain. #Akunyili #ChikeAkunyili”
