In an early thread he made in 2019, he wrote about how the man who was over 90 at that time had been keeping his father’s property since his dad’s demise in 1992.

@sarnchos revealed that for most of those years, he never collected any salary but fed himself from the things he grows on the land.

The man who was moved by his action said he really does not know how to reward such a person who had unmatchable loyalty.

In 2021, the son quoted those tweets he made in 2019 and said the old man is set to return to his home in Kano state.

Baba, as he is called, told @sarnchos that his work is done as he has completed a good job in protecting the parcel of land.

@LocaleMann suggested:

"Please, try and send some or at least, one of his children to school, as a memorabilia to Baba."

The woman wanted a refund of the money she had paid to a Chinese company for a product which they did not have and ended up correcting their mistaken transfer.
