A young Nigerian man, James C. Opara, has gone online to write about the goodness of God in his life after a stranger blessed him with N50,000.

I have faith in God
A part of the money was used to settle his mother’s debt. When he made that move, James’ mother was worried that he was doing a lot as a student who needed the money.

When the mother showed her concern, James said:
“…I told her I have faith in God and that He’s going to provide.”
Givers never lack
The man stated not only did He provide, but his money was also doubled a few days later. The student revealed that he decided to share his story as a way to encourage people that God always works.
Speaking to Legit.ng, on how he feels if he gives out and nothing comes back to him, he said:
"Actually, I don't give out to people hoping to get something in return. I gave cheerfully and God blesses me in ways I may not even see."
Many people took to his comment section to celebrate with him.
Below are some of the reactions:

Kind man paid two kids' school fees
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a kind Nigerian man, Michael Showunmi, put smiles on many people’s faces by solving their financial issues.
The man who is physically challenged paid the school fees of two students, Oyeyinka David, and Badmus Rodiat.
He said David who is in basic 5 and Rodiat in JSS 1 are among the brilliant students in their classes.
Showunmi revealed that when the school called David's mum and told her the debt has been cleared, the woman rejoiced.
