A weekly visit for Ebuka, 79, who lives alone in Lagos

Looking for a friendly person in Lagos to visit Ebuka once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ebuka, who's 79. Ebuka lives alone in Lagos, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Ebuka loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Thank you so much.
