Michael Showunmi has shown the world that one can be physically challenged and still be a blessing to others who are in need of help.
The young man who is a mathematics teacher recently warmed hearts on social media after showing love to a physically challenged man he said he met in 2019 at a filling station.
Showunmi shared some pictures on LinkedIn, in which he could be seen eating with the man on the street while people watched.
“I saw him last year at a filling station so I decided to check up on him at this particular time knowing how things are. Seeing me from afar, he was so happy that most people focused on us,” the teacher wrote.
The educator said while he was breaking bread with the homeless man, people kept staring in awe.
The teacher went ahead to say his gesture left people completely touched and they could not help but admire his actions.
“While we were eating, all the security personnel, greeters forgot about themselves for a while and gazed at us in astonishment that you could feel the love and warmth within the environment,” Showunmi added.
The two were kindred spirits who understood each other’s afflictions.

Only they knew what it felt to be in their shoes and they shared a bond that not many strangers could understand.
Initially, the homeless man did not believe Showunmi would pay attention to him or even give him some food to fill his empty stomach.
“God used me to buy some little items for him and I pranked him,” Showunmi noted.
The kind man advised that people can still be miracles to others even if they cannot get a miracle.
