Viral teen waste seller Samuel
A 19-year-old Nigerian boy, Samuel, has gone viral on social media for selling plastic waste and cartons to raise money for tiling tools.
The heartwarming story took a turn when a content creator, Bayuztv, helped Samuel, leaving him in tears.
Samuel, who learned tiling years ago, needed tools like a cutting machine and mallet to start working professionally.
The 19-year-old boy who kept struggling to collect waste to earn N1,000-N2,000 per bag, was surprised by the content creator with a haircut, new clothes, a meal, and some of the tools he needed.
The gesture sparked a wave of support, with fans donating N7.05 million to help Samuel and his family.
Samuel was also awarded a scholarship covering his education up to university level, securing his future. (The Nation)
