The cook-a-thon was a huge success with many people in the state coming out to support the event.
Speaking to Fox Nigeria about the event, Shakyum Joseph said:
“Making sure everyone in our country sees this great humanitarian service by the Reverend father and also for the Federal government to see how a lot of Benue citizens had been displaced through herdsmen attack, so as to make efforts to return these people back to their ancestral homes.”
“These people are passing through a lot in this place, they hardly get food to eat, some died of hunger. They are extremely happy.”
“Fr Solomon Mfa is a catholic priest. He organized this cook-a-thon for IDPs in Benue in order to feed people in IDP camps. It's happening now in Daudu benue state”

Man transforms homeless man he picked from the streets
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a homeless man was so appreciative after a good Samaritan took him off the streets and transformed his life. The kind hearted man identified as @ositapopcorn on Instagram, shared a video of the transformation process of the homeless man.
The elderly man who gave his name as Aliu was taken off the streets and given a chance to live a better life. During the video, the elderly man revealed that he has been homeless for more than 20 years. According to him, he left his house more than 20 years ago and since then, has not been able to get another place to stay.
The video first showed Aliu lying on a pavement and afterwards, he was taken to a barbing salon. Aliu had a very nice hair cut and the good Samaritan proceeded to take him on a shopping spree. He was subsequently given N20,000 cash.
