The hardworking youth said he was excited to run into her again after many years and shared what happened. He narrated to Legit.ng thus:
"When I arrived at my PPA, which is Prince Memorial High School, Onitsha. I walked past a class and I saw a familiar face. I went back and we both couldn’t contain our joy.
"I emptied my little pocket as she introduced me to the senior class she was teaching. She was so proud. She said she lost my number and she said she always saw me on Facebook in my Felix’s kitchen business.
"She asked what I was doing there I told her that I was to take the JSS 2 on social studies. She applauded me and encouraged me to grow more and more."
