Last Saturday night I ran out of fuel on Third Mainland Bridge by 11pm. Phone at 2%. No powerbank.

I want to tell you what happened next. I pushed the hazard lights on and sat in the car. Trying to think. Cars were flying past me. Nobody slowed down. Not one person. Lagos at night on that bridge is a different kind of alone.After about 15 minutes I saw headlights slow down behind me. A danfo bus. Old. Battered. One headlight slightly dim. The driver came down. Big man. Rough looking. Dirty shirt. Chewing something.

My first thought was fear. My second thought was I had no choice.He looked at my car. Looked at me. Said "fuel?" I nodded. He didn't say anything else. Just went back to his bus. I thought he was leaving. He wasn't. He came back with a small gallon. Maybe two liters. Old plastic container with a rubber pipe attached. Like he kept it specifically for situations like this. He poured it into my tank without being asked. Without negotiating. Without even looking at me for approval.I started the car. It came on. I came down immediately and opened my wallet. | had 15,000 on me. I held it out to him. He looked at the money. Then looked at me. And shook his head.I thought he wanted more. I told him it was all | had. He said "keep am." Just like that. Keep am. I stood there confused. This man just helped a stranger on a bridge at 11pm and didn't want anything. I asked him why. He leaned against his bus. Took a long breath.

And said something I have not stopped thinking about since.He said in 1998 he broke down on that same bridge. Night time. Pregnant wife in the passenger seat. No phone. No money. No fuel. Looked like someone who had no business stopping for a danfo driver. But he stopped. Bought fuel from somewhere. Came back. Filled his tank. Refused every kobo he offered.

He said only one thing before he drove off."'Pass am forward." That was it. Pass am forward. The man in the suit drove away and he never saw him again. 25 years he carried those three words. Third Mainland Bridge. Waiting for his own turn to use them.l stood on that bridge and didn't know what to say. This man had been holding onto someone else's kindness for 25 years. And he chose me to give it to. A stranger in a car he had never seen before. He got back into his danfo. Gave me one nod. And drove off into the night.

I stood there watching his one dim headlight disappear. Holding A15,000 1 couldn't give away.l sat back in my car for a long time before I drove off. Thinking about the man in the suit in 1998. Who had no idea what he started.

A chain of kindness that crossed 25 years and found me on the same bridge.

PASS AM FORWARD!

What are you passing forward today?

Ponder on it!

Today, I celebrate 🎁🎁 not just my birthday, but my journey… the strength I didn’t know I had, the battles I fought silently, and the growth that came from every pain and every lesson.

I am proud of how far I’ve come, even on the days I felt like giving up. Life hasn’t always been easy, but I’m still here, still standing, still becoming a better version of myself.

Dear me, thank you for not quitting. Thank you for believing, even when things didn’t make sense. Thank you for carrying your own heart with so much courage.

This new year of my life, I pray for peace, growth, happiness, and endless grace. May I continue to shine, to love deeply, and to walk boldly in my purpose.

Happy birthday to me — a soul that is still rising, still healing, and still becoming something beautiful. 🎂✨

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!🎁🎁
