Friendly visitor needed for a 91-year-old neighbor in Nnewi

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Lanre is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lanre, who's 91. Lanre lives alone in Nnewi, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Lanre loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Glad we found this place.
