3. Adopted poor boy

The same Tunde Onakoya shared a photo of a boy he adopted almost a year ago. The kind man revealed that he has enrolled him in school.

After doing so, he sent a note to his teachers to tell them how very special the child is to him. The boy's transformation photo amazed people online.

One does not need much to show that one cares. Giving a kid a meal could go a long way in positively affecting such an individual.

Man hugs kids hawking on street

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a video shared by @ssussjamofficial showed a man getting emotional as he saw kids hawking by the roadside. The man came down from his vehicle and hugged them each.

While he was doing this, words layered on the clip said that the man remembered his childhood days when he saw the kids.

He cried as he went to each one of them. At a point, he could not handle the rush of emotions anymore. The man had to go back to his vehicle.
