Landlord’s message surprised Barnabas
Apart from about four tenants who exchange pleasantries with him, Barnabas revealed he doesn’t interact with the others.
This informed his decision to travel without telling them.
“…So when I wanted to travel to Nigeria, I care less to let any of them know because I felt “Since we don’t know each other my presence won’t be felt”. I left,” Barnabas wrote on Facebook.
Two weeks after he left, some people noticed and reported to their landlord. The concerned landlord DMed Barnabas to check up on him. The landlord’s message read:
“Hi Barnabus, just checking everything is ok. A couple of the tenants were worried as they hadn’t seen you for a couple of weeks. Steve.”
Barnabas then replied, informing his landlord of his trip.

He uploaded a TikTok video in which he showed how his landlord frequently surprised all the tenants with different gifts every week.
In the video shared by @nal_smc, he expressed gratitude for the gesture, which he thought was very rare and exceptional, and never took any gift for granted, no matter how small or big.
