ZENITHBLOG.com gathered that a couple who have been married but childless for about 30 years, were shown an act of kindness by their rich neighbour.
The couple identified as Mr Ebugwe and Mrs Agnes Obu, never had any children since the 30 years that they have been married.
They lived in a tiny hut which provided a shelter where they barely managed to keep body and soul together while farming to make a living.
Their fortune however changed from a sad tale to a happy story when a rich man who happened to be building a house beside their tiny hut heard heard their story after paying them a visit.

The rich man identified as Mr Koko Dan ended up building them a proper house to move into stating that if they had children, they would have built them a house by now.
According to Ifere Paul who shared their story on Facebook, here’s what actually happened:
“A SAD STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING.
Mr Ebugwe Obu has been married to Mrs Agnes Obu for the past 30 years. They have been so married since they both fell in love 3 decades ago. These couple has passed through the worst of temptations and trepidations. But the unity in their marriage vows has kept them going this far.
Mr Ebugwe Obu and Mr Agnes Obu are peasant farmers. They toil to survive. Often, they survive with a meal a day, and sometimes palm kernels, or corn. They have remained faithful to each other. A testament that has kept their 3 decades marriage childless.
They have lived in a hut made of red mud and raffia mats which they constructed with their bare hands for as long as 45 years now until recently. They don’t entertain guests, and had no friends, apart from a few customers who come to their house to buy various farm produce in pennies that can fetch a meal or two.

The luxury of a sofa, bed, radio, television, and other modern technologies are only tales by moonlight to their ears.
A fence away from their red hut is a magnificent house. Built with the greatest of materials only seen and described by other villagers while on the way to the farms. Mr Ebugwe and wife will only watch in awe as the house is being built.
The house owner’s curiosity led him to visit Mr and Mrs Ebugwe Obu. Where their sad story was told him. Mr Koko Dan, the new neighbor of Mr and Mrs Ebugwe extended a hand of friendship and good neighbourliness, and has built a three bedroom apartment for Mr & Mrs Ebugwe.
Speaking to Koko Dan, during a visit to my office to invite me to the official handing over of the keys ceremony to Mr & Mrs Ebugwe, Mr Koko Dan told me that “if these couple had a child after 30 years of marriage, he has no doubt that their child would have built a house for them.”

Help me shout a hearty thank you to Engr Koko Dan for his selfless humanitarian service to these people. May God bless you for this awesome gift to these poor people.”
