Again, Ruth Eze celebrated the Valentine’s Day with the poor in Ajegunle, a suburb of Lagos, after doing same in 2016.
Eze was accompanied by her friends and fans and they fed the indigents including hundreds of beggars at the Ajegunle Market Square.
On the reason behind the gesture, Ruthy as she is fondly called, said: “Valentine’s Day is not only for lovers or married couples only. It is also a day we take time to reach out to the less privileged and the needy. Even people in the prisons need to be shown some love. I celebrated my day with some beggars and I felt so fulfilled. That is my little way of reaching out to those that truly need love.
“At a point, I was moved to tears seeing how they were almost fighting for food; probably they haven’t eaten well for so long. Painfully, most of us had so much to eat and even threw a lot in the trash can on that day. Let us all learn to show love and not to hate others.”
