Musa Usman, from Giljimmi, a Fulani settlement in Birniwa Local Government Area of Jigawa State, lives with his family in a thatched house.
Usman, who had served the Indian national, Mr. V. Verghese, who is also the Managing Director of a pharmaceutical company, Jawa International Limited in Lagos, for 25 years, left the service in order to reunite with his family in the village.
When Usman was leaving, Verghese offered to build a house for him to appreciate his diligence while he was his gateman
People in Usman’s community were previously trekking a long distance for water.
Speaking at the commissioning of the borehole, Verghese said his decision for the parting gift was borne out of a high degree of honesty exhibited by Usman while he was working with him.
He said: “Musa has served me diligently for 25 years. We would travel to India and leave our house under his care and behold, we would meet everything intact. He is indeed an honest Nigerian.”
Usman, thanked Verghese for the gesture, saying he had no regret substituting the house offer with community borehole.

Loud this.
ReplyDeleteIf I were the boss, I would still build him the house.
Exactly,
DeleteSeriously, if I were the boss I will still build it though we don’t know maybe the boss has that kind of money to spare
DeleteMy thought too. The man has just proven he is good man Not concern about himself alone. God bless him more in retirement.
DeleteBecause you gave him money to hold for you, abi? Do you know if he can afford both?
DeleteA noble man indeed.
DeleteIf you were his boss you would be owing him salary and use his money to pop bottles in the club. Take several seats.
DeleteHe got the house and the borehole but shame on the Jigawa state government the could not provide borehole water to its citizens.
DeleteLeave them, they wont provide the basic amenities for the masses but they will be quick to dash one person millions to go for treatment abroad. Nonsense!
DeleteThe cost of constructing a borehole in the north will build 2-3 houses. The boss is a good man. Building a house would have been cheaper for him, but he decided to build 3 houses. God bless him.
Deletewow!..this is called heart if gold
ReplyDeleteSo the Indian man could not (still) build him a simple house and put a bore hole infront for the community???
ReplyDeleteAnyway, at all at all na im bad pass
Abi nau! I wish he'll build him the house.
DeleteThis is how entitlement and unappreciation for little favors start.
DeleteThe man opted to have water in his community out of love and not selfishness..which is worth emulating.
You all saying the man should still build house , is it mandatory?
The Indian offered him that out of goodwill.
Before you Hala build house with borehole infront..hope you sabi say the terrain in Jigawa is not like delta state o..water level is down, you have to blast rocks to get to a good source..
@Cynthia My point exactly. When you see a good person going out of their way to make others happy, bend backwards for them a so others can see the clear example. I bet I would have taken a loan to enable me do both, if I have to. Afterall na me go still get blessings. Like i said, at all at all na im bad pass.
Delete@orela you actually have a point but you are replying my comment as if your village head chased you out of a nightmare into blogosphere.
Please put on your bra it has fallen. Pele oh Spokesperson of Jigawa state *hiss*
@Orela thank you oo
Delete@chikito...this your reply still reeks of entitlement though stop trying so hard to justify it. Its allowed for some set of people it gives variety to life.
DeletePs. The whole nightmare, village head, bra , blogosphere is world salad to me just can't make sense out of it no matter how hard I try. Biko break it down , you know some of us barely made it out of elementary school
Orela I agree with you. Perhaps the Indian isn't as wealthy as we think but wants to thank the baba who seems like part of family to them. We all should learn to appreciate the little someone does for us instead of looking into the giver's bag to check if he or she has given everything
Delete@ Orela
DeleteGbam 😘😘😘
The mallam made a nice decision. May God bless such a boss.
DeleteMao Akuh
Lmao! @orela you try lol
DeleteChikito.... Google word salad. Technical Knock Out!LOL
Deletethis is beautiful..God bless him

ReplyDeletena wah o....everyting dy brought tears to una eyes
DeleteAzin eh!
DeleteSomebody must be cutting onions close to you mbok
Dede, so what if it brought tears to the poster's eyes?
DeleteIts understandable if you are bereft of humanity but can you be sensitive to others who haven't lost theirs to the ills constantly meted out to them by the Nigerian society? Selah!
We would soon be requesting picture evidence of the tears that's always rolling down y'all cheeks
DeleteDede it is not your tears nau.
DeleteAgadi, must be internal onions.
Hahahahaha Dede. The thing tire me oo. Love tears. Hate tears, curse tears, laugh tears, talk tears, read tears, don't read tears etc.
DeleteUna get water plenty for una eyes oo. I supposed put onion for my eyes too.

Musa is a good man. Musa should tell us what he has seen in the gates he always guide
Elekun egbere, which one be tears now.

Between the Indian man and una leaders who suppose give una portable water sef?
That act no do una
I dey tell you, I tire for Nigerians sense of entitlement. Give them an inch and they will want to take a mile. Na wa.
DeleteMust he build him a house? We don't even know his budget.
DeleteWe should all emulate this Indian man, and if you have a mai guard/ gate man, please do as this Indian man.
Mao Akuh
God bless his boss for this. I wish he'll still build the house for him.
ReplyDeleteawwww this is so nice of MUSA. you sure have your community in mind.
ReplyDeleteIndian man wants an honest Nigerian. Wow,I laugh
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't want, he actually found and worked with one.
DeleteHmmmm...... indeed honesty and hardwork pays!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great news....Really a great selfless act!
ReplyDeleteHe will soon have plenty houses!
Good one.
ReplyDeleteHe put his people's need above his comfort, now that is a good man.
ReplyDeleteSomething Nigerian leaders cannot do
DeleteEvil lots
They should learn from this
But mba they wouldn't read this kind of n21s and emulate
Finally,I have a blog ID

DeleteNice name......Amin ooo
DeleteNa only hausa man fit do this thumbs
ReplyDeleteMalams are not very materialistic.always contented with the little they have
ReplyDeleteGoodman.our brothers from the other side can never do this
ReplyDeleteLet's make the world a better place no be for mouth only. This man just practicalised it
ReplyDeleteMusa,Correct
DeleteHis Oga, Correct
Now this is selflessness
Not the greedy and selfish what is in it for me spirit resident in a lot of people
GOD bless every selfless person , out there
God Bless you Anon
DeletePeople like Musa should be running for office and not the jokers we keep recycling.
ReplyDeleteWhile I commend Musa for his altruism, No people like Musa shouldn't hold public office except they are qualified. That's the kind of sentiments that gave us Buhari. Now, he's spending our money on his health. Anyways, Musa could have had a house with a borehole inside the house which could serve as a source of water to his community. That way he has his house and helps his community at the same time.
DeleteThat said, I know Musa will have other houses with this publicity soon.But what if this was his only chance at a house? He just blew it.
Unfortunately
DeleteIf he tries to run for office he wouldn't be voted for cause the assumption would be that he is poor and wants to enrich himself.
I really wish we Nigerians would.focus more on
People with integrity and heart of service.
What a great man..... Gid bless ur generation
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow.....
ReplyDeleteGood man.
ReplyDeleteThis is what being a humanitarian is all about.
ReplyDeleteNice one, But oga, you for still build the house for him na
ReplyDeleteMadam...do tou know if the house is even a thatched roof house that would have being built?
DeleteAs una hear house , una mind don go mansion with 10 rooms.
On a lighter note, most people that expect so much from others many a times give little or nothing when found in same scenerio
Because you gave him money to keep abi?
DeleteOrela, get your negative, wicked and cold heart off this post, jeez! You are such an evil hearted creature!!!
DeleteAnon. 00.14...you that have a positive,sweet and hot heart.. of what use and benefit have you being to yourself and those around you?
DeleteBiko shift...musa is smarter than yall lots...the same thatched house would have being built and rain check..that borehole sinking is way expensive..
Now take your ignorant self to a corner , if you know and understand the terrain in jigawa state you wont spew such trash..
Now run along
Anonymous 00:14, you are the cold hearted and entitled one. What have you ever done for people within your environment?
DeleteShe is not an evil creature for being brutally honest. Your entitlement spirit in that nigeria is so appalling. Never satisfied lots .some of you also display that on this blog. Am sure the day Stella stops her giveaways only authentic people would remain on here. Rubbish. If you all nagging that the man should still build the house are really serious about it . Then call yourselves together and open an account to make the plan visible. Nobody is holding you people.
DeleteTrue definition of selflessness, God bless his kind heart
ReplyDeleteThis guy is the real MVP.
ReplyDeleteGod bless the man and his boss, they're both good people
ReplyDeleteBuh still a house can be built with water/borehole cos an Indian man won't build a house without water then Usman will now bring out taps from his fence to outside his house to the community by so doing he gained twice ...na so I see am shaa oo...
ReplyDeleteMusa don finally see something good for gate
ReplyDeleteAnd the local government chairmen and all the state politicians are looking on. Eskiss sirs, na your work be dis.
