Stranger bought foodstuff for mother and daughter
Meanwhile, Nigeria's number one news site, Legit.ng, earlier reported that a young man, Bear Taliferro Jr, put a big smile on the face of a family after overhearing their conversation in a supermarket he went shopping.
He said that he was in the shop when a little girl asked her mother what is wrong when she saw her mother’s eyes heavy with tears.
In response and with an emotion-laden voice, the mother told the girl that they cannot afford to eat that night.
Touched by how bad their situation is, the young man asked the mother to grab whatever they want in the mall.
