An angel in disguise
When it comes to getting help from strangers when I need it the most, I'll say I'm truly blessed because whenever I'm in deep shit and I need a saviour, God sends an angel to save me.
Looking back at how it all happened, I still can't believe there are people like that out there who can go out of their way to make sure I'm alright.

The one that shocked me the most was when I got help from a total stranger at a bank. One time, I was so broke that I didn't have any money on me. I then remembered I had a Zenith bank account, and I'd been saving some money there. I knew how much was in the account because I usually receive credit alerts, but I was not able to make any transactions because the account was not fully activated.
The next day, after doing my house chores, I headed straight to the bank, which was quite a distance from my house, even tho I took a cab. When I got there, the line was so long I almost got discouraged. Well, the only thing I could even do that day was to make inquiries about the whole process of getting my money out. I opened the account in Bayelsa, meanwhile, I was in Port Harcourt during the whole activation and withdrawal process.
They said I had an issue that my account didn't belong to me and that someone else had access to it. Honestly, I was surprised. The reason why I opened that account was because of a grant that they promised to pay (you know how it is over here, every day we open different bank accounts because of free money 😂😂)

For more than a week, I was resolving a particular issue. Then came an angel, this lady helped me to get my money, also gave me money, and made sure I was attended to fast.
She's also a banker, so after the first week, the second week, she asked me what the problem was, and I explained everything to her, telling her about how broke I was, and that was my only hope.
She was so angry because firstly the issue was a mild one that would've been settled fast instead of making me visit the bank every day and paying expensive transport fare, and also it's not like it was a huge amount of money I wanted to withdraw. She took the whole matter into her care, gave me her number, and even asked me to go home, and that she would resolve the issue for me.
She gave me a call when she was done with the whole thing, which she did. The next time, I just had to go to the bank and withdraw all my money. That wasn't the only help she did for me, she also gave me 5000 naira for lunch.
I was so grateful to her, and I'm still grateful for what she did for me. I pray everything works out fine for her 🙏. Imagine she wasn't there, I would've spent weeks in the bank trying to collect just 30000....
So this was one time I got help from a total stranger who never expected anything from me.
Thanks for stopping by ❤️
