How teenager almost joined cultism
Terry said Terfa was on the verge of joining cultism but was saved by the intervention of his boss, who got wind of the plans.
He wrote on Facebook:
"Terfa’s parents are divorced, his father is a driver, and his mother remarried. He has parents but is living perpetually as an orphan. He knows he was born in 2008 but doesn’t know the day and month. He is 15 years old and works as a cleaner in a hotel I usually hang out. He’s a decent, innocent and playful boy. He should be schooling, but no, he has no backup.
"Hence, I had prayed to God to help me impact positively in him. I have decided to sponsor his education with my meagre resources. I put a call through his boss and made my intentions known to him. He gladly accepted and told me how he, too, had intentions of sending Terfa to school but relented when he learnt about the calibre of friends Terfa keeps and how he was being lured into cultism.
" I inquired to know from Terfa why he joined cultism, and he said he had not joined, that his friends convinced him to join; he was on his way for initiation when the information leaked and got to his boss. They had to retrieve, from what I saw in his eyes. Terfa regrets his actions."
When contacted, Terry told Legit.ng that he used his personal resources to pay for Terfa's school fees. He said he spent as high as N41,000 and would continue to stand by the young lad.
He told Legit.ng in a short chat:
"I spent N41k. The money is solely from my hustle, my small boutique. I will continue to sponsor him as long as I’m financially buoyant."

Man proud of boy whose school fees he paid
Meanwhile, a kind Nigerian man with the handle @PrinceCokers shared an emotional story of a poor boy he helped and whose life eventually improved.
In a thread on Twitter, the CEO said he always noticed a boy in a panel beater shop each time he passed by. Out of curiosity, he asked the boy's boss why the kid was not in school like his mates, and the man told him the boy's parents were poor.
When he asked the boy if he would like to continue school, the kid emotionally said yes.
The man agreed to foot the boy's school fees as he charged his boss to look for a school around their shop.
