- Musa Usman's boss wanted to build him a house as a reward for his services over the years
- Usman, however, rejected the offer and asked him to build a borehole for his community instead
Selflessness is when patriotic citizens do not mind inconveniencing themselves just so others can live better lives, and very few people are known for this act.
It has also been said that kindness is the act of doing good things to people who cannot repay and one Musa Usman has shown great kindness with his recent action.

According to Nigeria's Daily Trust, Usman had served his Indian boss, V. Verghese, for 25 years and he was planning to leave his job.
He was excited by the fact that he was finally going to spend time with his family in Giljimmi, a Fulani settlement in Nigeria.
To appreciate Usman's services, Verghese decided to build a house for him.
However, the offer was turned down.

Instead, the kind watchman asked his boss to instead drill a borehole for his community because there was shortage of water in his village which forced them to walk for miles in search of it.
It is noted that the elderly man lived in a thatched house in the village but he expressed no regret at turning down the offer of a new house just so his people could have clean water to drink.
