I smiled, feeling proud, knowing that small act of kindness had maybe sparked something bigger. And that, I reckon, is the beauty of human connection – unpredictable, sometimes awkward, but always worth it.
His resilience struck me. We parted ways with a promise to meet up again. A week later, I saw him performing at a different spot, this time with a bigger crowd and a tip jar overflowing. He spotted me and waved me over, saying, "See, I told you God wouldn't abandon me!" 😊
"Hey, you're the one from earlier!" he said. We chatted about life, and he told me he preferred performing to begging; it made him feel alive. I was impressed by his spirit and offered to buy lunch. Over plates of jollof rice, he told me his story – how he'd lost his job and was using his skills to survive, to keep him

It was a sweltering day in Lagos when I stumbled upon a street performer juggling fire sticks in the middle of the busy street. A small crowd had gathered, mesmerized by his skills, and I stopped to watch too. As I flipped out my phone to toss some cash his way, a young woman beside me whispered, "Don't give him
