In Nigeria today, a bag of rice costs a fortune. This is responsible for the mincing attitude of so many families over food. Today, \u00a0no more left-over food<\/a> in the kitchen of families. Everyone takes the portion that they can eat. buying a bag of rice for Christmas now seems like a Camel trying to enter a needle eye. Maybe the present recession is a good<\/a> lesson for Nigerians. Giving out a bag of rice at no cost is like giving out a parcel of gold.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Today’s story is about a woman who has lost all hope for existence. Like the woman who wanted to eat her last meal with her son and die afterward. Ugochi was in absolute confusion. As a widow, she has been the only one taking care of her son, Uche, since her husband died. The life of a single mother has not been easy for her. Feeding and clothing her son were real work. Thank God she has a shop to herself. The best she got from her husband’s demise was a bungalow at Ikeja<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For four years now, she has been using proceeds from her shop<\/a> to pay her son’s school fees. Her shop was her backbone. But nowadays the weight is getting too much to the extent that her shop is going down on a daily basis. Now she can’t even pay for the shop. Patronage has drastically reduced. She could no longer buy goods to replace the goods she has sold in the shop.<\/p>\n

The big blow came<\/a> when she has to pay her son’s school fees in August. Her late husband had always paid Uche’s school fees before his school resumes. She had been doing her best<\/a> in the past four years to pay the school fees. This year, things were just somehow. There is no escape route for her. This brought tears to her eyes.<\/p>\n

One day, as he was arranging the remaining goods in her shop in Awolowo road in Ikeja<\/a>, one morning, a young man came to him. He introduced himself to her as Temi from tolet.com.ng<\/a>. He told her about a new partnership project with tolet. Ugochi reluctantly agreed because she was in dire need of money.<\/p>\n

Getting food to eat is a big deal. Today, she has no grain of rice, beans or garri in the house. She sat in her shop and silently prayed for a customer to come. But what patronage will pay all her bills? It was at this point<\/a> that Ugochi met Temi.<\/p>\n

In a week, she was able to get ten referrals. I don’t know how she did it, but it may be because her shop is in a busy area. She made ninety-eight thousand Naira, from the customers that got apartments from tolet<\/a>. She was able to pay Uche’s \u00a0school fees. She was also able to get a bag of rice which now costs 28,000 NGN at no cost at all. At least, all her burden’s her taken care of.<\/p>\n

Ugochi started working with tolet from that moment and she makes money every week. Now her shop is back to life<\/a>. She has become a blessing to other widows. She even gives small bags of rice for free to widow. When asked why she gives people rice for food, she answered ” I got a bag of rice at no cost when I needed it most, it’s my responsibility to help other, you can get a bag of rice from your partnership proceeds with tolet. It’s just like it’s free”. She couldn’t hide her joy as she spoke.<\/p>\n
