In this hard economy, finding over โฆ400,000 in a passengerโs bag and choosing to return it is not something everyone would do.
But commercial bus driver Mr. Onyekachi Ikpendu chose honesty over temptation after a passenger, Mrs. Nkechi John, accidentally left her bag containing the money and other belongings in his vehicle.
The money was reportedly business funds belonging to the petty trader. After discovering the bag, the driver kept it safely and waited for the owner to return.
His reason was simple:
โNo amount of money I see now will move me to take what does not belong to me.โ
Honestly, this deserves appreciation. In a time when many people are struggling financially, this man could have taken the money and disappeared. Instead, he chose integrity.
This is the kind of story that makes you appreciate the good still existing among our people.
But now, Nigerians are asking:
Did the woman reward this honest driver for his integrity?
And should the owner of the money give Mr. Ikpendu a handsome reward for doing the right thing?
What would you do if you found โฆ400,000 belonging to someone else?
