Man rewards a lady with N500k for her calmness after his car accidentally splashes water on her

A Nigerian man has praised a woman for remaining calm in the face of a potentially explosive situation.   According to the businessman, Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah, he was driving home from work when a car in his convoy spilt water on a woman strolling by.

Marksman, who shared the tale on Facebook, claimed the lady didn’t scream or curse at the automobile, but just wiped herself up and continued her journey.

This drew his attention, and he ordered the convoy to come to a complete stop while apologizing to the lady.

The businessman then presented her with an N500,000 check.

 He wrote; ‘‘Today, on our way back from the day’s business, one of the protocol cars mistakenly splashed water on a young lady who was walking by. I am often alert and so when I observed her actions, I needed to apologise.

Unlike what a lot of people would do, the young lady did not scream or curse at our cars . She cleaned herself up without a word and walked on.

This act of calmness in the face of such chaos and disruption called my attention. Immediately, I instructed the cars to park and I called the young lady to apologize on behalf of my team. Of course, when she came, we apologized to her as much as words could convey and I asked her what she did for a living and when she said she was a fashion designer, we thought of the best way to assist her and eventually signed a cheque of half a million naira (500k) to her.

I dislike conducts that put others in uneasy places and I never encourage it. But the calmness that this lady exhibited was truly profound and I couldn’t ignore it.

May our conduct in the face of uneasy situations enable others to rethink. May it teach others important lessons about life.
