The development happened at the French Embassy, Abuja where Nwora said he spotted the kid.

After Peter rejected Uche's money, Super Eagles player, Taiwo Awoniyi was also seen at the scene when his car drove in.

Awoniyi's attention was drawn to the kid, and he interacted with him kindly.

However, when Awoniyi sought to give him money, he rejected the £20.

According to Peter, his father warned him not to take gifts from strangers.

Nworah wrote:

"In a country where respect for older people is no longer very much obtainable, and young people armed with smartphones easily throw abuses at seniors online, I took notice and beckoned on the kid to please come back. We told him that we were impressed with the way he greeted us. Afterwards, I offered him a little cash gift in appreciation but he turned it down. When I enquired why, he said that his Dad forbade him from accepting things from strangers."
