A Nigerian man, Akerele Oluwasogo, has taken to LinkedIn to narrate how he met his old schoolmate in Lagos.
Akerele said that an old classmate happened to be the driver of the keke (tricycle) that hit his car. Just as he angrily came down to check how bad it was, the driver turned out to be a known face.

The two reunited and got talking. During their conversation, the driver said he is ashamed that he is driving keke to make ends meet and his friend is looking so fresh in his car.
Akerele said he encouraged the man by saying he looks good. Afterwards, he took him out to a restaurant for lunch and they exchanged numbers.
After everything, he gave the man some cash. Akerele said that though he may never see him again in a long time, they will speak on the phone.
