A young woman literally smiled all the way to the bank after one Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah decided to make her day that yesterday on 9th September 2021.
Chinedu –who is the Chairman/President & Founder of Chinmark group a 21st century Global conglomerate with interest spanning across Real Estate, Agriculture, Transportation, and Finance– narrated how he came to decide to make the woman’s day after one of his protocol cars mistakenly splashed dirt water on her as she was walking.
What impressed Mr. Marksman is how the young lady conducted herself, how she remained calm, didn’t throw tantrums, and didn’t even cuss at them but merely cleaned herself up and walked on.
“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,” Marksman said in part of his narration on social media.
He was so impressed by the way she carried herself that he decided to stop his fleet of cars to talk to her and that’s when he pulled out his checkbook and gave the young lady a $1,240 cheque in her name.
Marksman’s action has captured the attention of the entire social media space who commended him for the good work he did which a lot of netizens are considering to be an act of philanthropy.
Here’s what he shared on social media.
“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 apologize.
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 conducts in the face of uneasy situations enable others have a rethink. May it teach others important lessons about life.
