A. Good Hearted Man.
In the whirlwind of daily life, it’s easy to get swept away and miss the small, yet precious, moments that make life whole.
A professor, on a recent trip, experienced this firsthand when she inadvertently left behind a bag filled with invaluable belongings. But thanks to the honesty and kindness of a stranger named Abubakar Hassan, her story became a testament to the power of good in the face of adversity.
As she journeyed from Anyigba to Abuja, changing cabs at the bustling Giri junction, the weight of her suitcase and the chaos of the motor park added to the confusion.
In the rush to catch the next cab, she unknowingly left her bag behind. It wasn’t until reaching Jabi Hotel that a wave of realization washed over her. The bag held her laptop, a substantial sum of money, a cheque, delicate golden earrings, her passport, a power bank, ATM cards, her driver’s license, and more.
Panic surged as she retraced her steps to Giri, only to discover the drivers there were mostly freelancers, making finding the driver who drove her initially impossible.

Desperate, she exchanged contact details with a NURTW official and returned to the hotel, her mind consumed by the loss.
Adding to the stress, she hadn’t informed her husband. But in a surprising turn, the cab driver, driven by a sense of integrity, searched her bag, found her husband’s number on her license, and attempted to reach out. However, her husband, wary of potential scams, initially dismissed the call as a fraud. It wasn’t until she confirmed the situation that he shared the driver’s number.
To her immense relief, the driver, Abubakar Hassan, had indeed found her bag and even tried to connect her on Facebook. With the help of colleagues fluent in Hausa, they arranged a meeting at the hotel upon his return from a trip. To her astonishment, he arrived with everything intact, his honesty surpassing her wildest expectations.
In a world often painted with negativity, Abubakar’s actions stand as a beacon of hope, reminding us that good can triumph over adversity. He encourages us to celebrate those who choose kindness, even when it’s easier to look away.
Ultimately, his story leaves us with a powerful lesson: the world becomes a brighter place when individuals, like Abubakar Hassan, choose integrity over indifference.
