A while ago, A man named Zaradn Espee wrote
about Musa Halidu A.K.A 'Mai Ice Cream' a man
who has been selling ice cream for over three
decades in Kaduna State.
He wanted to reward the vendor for not only all
the free ice cream he gave him and other kids
30 years ago but to also make life easier for
him. He called on well meaning Nigerians to
contribute towards the cause. Not only did the
post get many retweets, shares and reposts,
many people made donation.
On Saturday, September 10th, he drove down to
Kaduna and handed over the N110 realized from
Nigerians who were touched by the post. Below
is his account of the emotional moment:
"WE MADE A MAN CRY...What was
supposed to be an ice cream delivery
turned out to be a big surprise for Musa
Halidu A.K.A Mai ice cream as this group
of people gathered and presented him
with a total contribution of N110k, out of
which 40k was given to him in cash and
the balance of 70k to be deposited in an
account he will open after sallah. And
that's not all because my Og Bello Aliyua
gave him new pairs of clothing for the
festivity. To our surprise, he remembered
the schools we went to in kaduna and
also revealed that the free ice cream and
Lolly we had was paid for from his
pocket.
We listened to his challenges and
encouraged him to make good use of his
funds as it was time to retire from a
trade of over 3 decades with very little to
show for it. He couldn't help but get all
emotional because it was a big deal to
him considering he makes about 1k a day
on that bicycle and he has a family to
cater for.
I want to thank everyone for their
support and also convey the appreciation
of this humble man. You should've seen
the priceless look on his face. Thank you
again for making this possible"
