William Uchemba helps viral plantain seller

Joseph, the plantain seller who was pictured sleeping in the middle of the road late at night with his tray of plantain by his side has had his fortunes turned around.

Former child actor Williams Uchemba stepped in to help the boy. William cleaned the boy up and set him on a plane back to Akwa Ibom. Joseph left his parents in Akwa Ibom to serve a woman in Lagos after she promised him an education. But she then turned around to maltreat him and make him sell on the streets.

See Joseph’s return to Akwa Ibom below:

My boy Is a star now he had a warm welcome waiting for him at the airport and that smile on his face is all that matters to me..tomorrow I will be speaking with the parents to know what they will be needing to keep him in school and make them comfortable moving forward…I want to train him till university level by the help of God. Thanks to everyone that came out to show love..?Let’s get more off the road
