Ms Eze excitedly distributed to street beggars foods and assorted drinks leaving a lasting smile on the faces of the poor and the underprivileged.

On the reason behind the gesture, Ruthy, as she is fondly called, said: “Valentine’s Day is not only for lovers or married couple. It’s also a day we should take time to reach out to the less-privileged and the needy. Even those in the prison need to be shown some love. I celebrated my day with some beggars. I felt so fulfilled inside of me feeding the hungry in my own little capacity. That’s my own little way of reaching out to those that really need this love.

“At a point I was so 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 trash that day. Let us all learn to show love, not hate to others, no matter how little,” she said.
