BREAKING: Nigerian Man Emotional as He Remembers Female Friend Who Sorted His Accommodation Issues

A young Nigerian man has recounted how his female friend’s extraordinary act of kindness transformed his life during a challenging period.

He shared his story via the X app and it quickly went viral, triggering emotional comments from netizens.

Man recounts getting accommodation through female friend

The man identified as @meetjmb expressed his deepest gratitude to Chisom Ogbummuo, his former classmate who intervened on his behalf.

Her timely assistance secured him accommodation for almost two years, providing a stability he desperately needed.

After completing his studies at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), the young man faced an uncertain future, lacking a place to call home in Lagos.

His friend Yemi offered temporary refuge, but this arrangement was short-lived. It was then that Chisom stepped in, appealing to her father to provide shelter.

The family’s kindness knew no bounds, welcoming the young man into their Ago Palace Way residence.

Overcome with emotion over the great treatment he received, he broke down in tears, humbled by their generosity.

This act of compassion left an indelible mark on his life, forging a debt of gratitude he vowed never to forget.

In his words:

“Yes! Her name is Chisom Ogbummuo, my class mate who spoke to her dad on my behalf to house me for close to 2 years until I found my feet after school. When we were done with school (UNILAG), I didn’t have where to live in Lagos. And I swore never to go back home (Kaduna).

“I was the Faculty president of my set so I had my office to live in for some days until it was pertinent for me to give keys to the new administration. And that day it actually dawned on me that I didn’t have where to go.”

“Yemi, another classmate asked that I followed him to his in-law’s 3 bedroom apartment as they (his sister and husband were in the US for holidays).

“I had just stayed 3 days when one early morning Yemi woke me up that I had to leave as his brother was coming back that day. I was confused with my phone. So, I called Chisom who was my best friend at the time, and she said, bring your things to Ago Palace Way (my first time there).

“I went, saw the dad, explained my ordeal and he allowed me in, the rest they say is history. My first night in their house, I CRIED and CROED! If I write a book, Chisom and her family will take 15% of the chapters. I will never forget!”
