The Sports Editor of Classic FM Lagos, Temisan Okomi, has shared an inspiring story that could break the medals table if there is any awarded for #MondayMotivation.

Remember Davido’s popular quote “we rise by lifting others”, this story aptly fits as a true example of what the singer has been advocating.

Okomi took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to narrate how he met a 17-year-old girl identified simply as Feyi working as a waitress at his regular bar in GRA, Lagos, some years ago.

Worried by the Feyi’s choice of job, he said he took interest in her because he didn’t want her to end up miserable as a bartender where she would possibly be abused.

He asked Feyi why she took up a job as a waitress, “familiar tale of no money so she was waiting tables until she could save up to buy forms for SSCE & JAMB,” Okomi wrote.

He gave her money to get the forms with a promise to quit the job. After several years of losing contacts, Feyi called Okomi on Monday to notify him she would be having her convocation ceremony on Friday.

“Ladies & gents; I’m flummoxed. I win 2019,” an elated Okomi declared after narrating the story.

 

He wrote:

“A few years ago, I was drinking at this joint I normally drink at in G.R.A when this young waitress served. Looked all of 17 & it was quite late. I was a bit bothered. She looked way too young. So I asked her. She was 17. Pretty young girl.

“I could see her immediate future at that joint, with pervy old men like me drinking there, so I asked her why she wasn’t in school. Familiar tale of no money so she was waiting tables until she could save up to buy forms for SSCE & JAMB. I don’t remember how much it was but I asked her: “If you get money for these forms, you will stop doing this job?” She said; “Yes.” So I dipped my hands & pulled out my lean stash. Gave her the loot & told her she could quit. I don’t do appreciation. I don’t know how to handle it.

“She calls me up the next day & her mom gets on the phone & starts praying for me. Truly embarrassing stuff. That was the last time I spoke with her or her mom. Fast forward to 10 minutes ago. She just called me. Said she lost my card but her mom just found it.

“She is doing her convocation on Friday. Ladies & gents; I’m flummoxed. Her name is Feyi & I had forgotten about her. Truthfully, I don’t even recall her face again. She is a graduate. I win 2019, you heifers!“
