Man gives out PMS for free

In a related story, a Nigerian man warmed many hearts on social media after he bought one gallon of fuel and handed it out for free. This came at a time when fuel was being sold at the price of N850 per litre in some places across the country.

The driver who received the free fuel was short of words as he poured it happily into his car and embraced the kind man afterwards.

A lot of Nigerians who saw the video praised the man and said they wished to also encounter him.
