I will like to pay for his school fees till SS3, help me locate him – Man expresses the desire to train young hawker who gave snacks to protesters for free
As the anti-SARS protest march continues across the nation, many interesting stories have surfaced online.
One of such stories is that of a young boy who was hawking snacks at one of the protest grounds. However, after giving his snacks to some protesters, he refused to collect money from them.
His response after rejecting their money was ‘ẹ bawa ṣe kín lè lọ ile iwe’ which a Twitter user translated as ‘Do it for us so that I can go to school’.

This moved me close to tears. If a boy as young as this has no trust in the system and his heart desire is for we youth to continue this movement so as to make it possible for him (and many others) to be educated.
It speaks volume. #ENDBADGOVERNANCE #EndSARS !!!— 'Mide (@itz_oluolu) October 16, 2020
Let’s support this kid. We need to find his education to any level for such sacrifice… it can’t go unnoticed.
