The children did not forget him
According to Smith, he had even forgotten about the children, but he was surprised when they showed up at his farm days ago.
They explained who they were, but he could only recognise them because they still wore the school sandals he had bought for them back then.
The kids said they came to thank him for what he did for them in the past. Moved by their wisdom and grateful hearts, Smith has now offered them full scholarships through FFF.
In a separate chat with Legit.ng, Smith confirmed that he will be paying the children's school fees.
His words:
"I will see the family later this week to pay their fees. The kids will get sponsorship from FFF."
