dryakson: Good day nairalanders,
I posted how 800,000 naira was deposited into my account from an unknown person last week and the advices I got from my fellow nairalanders inspired me while some is the other way round.. Who no want money, I like it too but the consequences that will follow is the Wahala.. Lol.
I went to the bank and asked for my account break down and the consumer icare lady break the account details including the last deposit of the 800,000 naira without any suspicious from her... Happy happy...
I asked her for the phone number attached to the teller that sent 800,000 naira last week and she did I thank her and went outside the banking hall.
I called the number and a female voice pops out of the speaker she asked who I was but I ignore her question and ask her if she made any deposit of money last week, but said NO.... ALERT! ALERT!....
2 minutes later she called and said her husband who is currently in USA sent money to his brother's account here in Nigeria before his journey last week and that the brother is also in USA with him according to her the brother (account owner) will be back to Nigeria in 1 week time, I also asked if she received any alert about the money with her number but she said she don't know why she stop receiving alert... ......... She was alerted too.
She asked if I was a banker but I said no, I asked her to send me her husband number but she hang the call.
5 minutes later a foreign number came in I assume it to be the depositor calling with USA number.
He asked who I was and how I got his wife phone number, I narrated how the money was sent to my account and how I got his wife's number. bla... Bla..... Bla
According to him, the teller is with him in USA, I returned to the bank and tell the lady all what had happened she was amazed at how my names as well as the account number is thesame except the difference of one number which is 7 in mine and 2 on his brothers own .
The manager arrived and ask the depositor to scan and send the copy of the teller for verification. It was concluded that the money was for him.
The manager thanks me and introduces me to all the workers including the people inside the bank as a loyal and a good Patriotic Nigerian. According to the manager I made a good decision of reporting to the bank unlike other people who will withdraw and spent the money and later paid and charge for fraudulent.
In the other hand, the wife, her husband and the owner of the account thanks me then asked the manager to leave #20,000 while he transfer the remaining #780,000 to the other account, he promised to be calling me anytime.

What surprises me was how two guys from the banking hall curse me and my entire generation for returning a huge amount of money worth 800k. according to them, I should have withdraw the money and Run to outside country, I laughed and go my way.

I have no regrets what so ever
And if you were in my shoe, what will you do in this situation?


Let's hear your say


You can ask any question

I know there are wonderful people in Nigeria, please will love to know you. Log on to www.agentforpositivechange.net and register. We need people like you, and we want to promote people like you. I once had the same experience at UBA (then STB) NNPC Ejigbo branch, but mine was in Dollars, $99,000.00 and it was done at a time I was seriously broke, my friend whom we were in the bank together that day, encouraged me to withdraw $2000 to test it, I said no, but asked that my statement be printed and right there in my account was a balance in excess of $99,000, I knew I never paid that amount into my domiciliary account, I told the bank manager that the money was not mine and told him what was mine, few weeks after they told me that they discovered that their computer was the one credited my account, simple error from computer. That singular act boost my relationship with the bank.

eagle,eye:

The man was not looking for the money at least not yet. And I sincerely believe that Op was disappointed at the 20,000 naira gift...... He can deny it all he wants.

I modified my post before you posted this. I totally agree with you! I thought I was even speaking out of line. Thank you!

All the people that said spend the money have suddenly lost internet acess.
I dnt have time,i should have quoted all of you.

NL is a true representation of wat the entity Nigeria is made up of.

IYA NGBALI: Stingy family,not even up to 10% of the total money,mtcheeeeew

I agree with you. Imagine they have not even started looking for the money.

sparkle Red:

Everybody don turn to transparency international

yinparc: Good of u.God wil rewards u.

RIP english!!!!very very sad

nice.

@ op: thanks for listening to the good advice we gave you. Thanks for having the zeal and courage to do the right thing. I'm proud of you. I'm proud we still have a few honest Nigerians in this country. God bless you. Mark my words;the husband of that lady might just be the contact you need to move to the next level. He might not necessarily give you money but might connect you to someone who would be instrumental to your success. When it happens,remember this post. It might even be the wife who might connect you. Be sure something good would come out from it.

Your grammar usage is poor. But you have done well.

Ymodulus:
See this poor guy. Na you been they tell the guy say him fuk up na. no be u i see for bank?

Na me o!! How u take know? This nairaland sabi cast person sha..

Even baba god for heaven knows I will never return the money jail or no jail

you did well my guy, do not worry 800k is chicken change and stealing would have only complicated issues for you. The sky is even beneath the limit for you. also, its good you did it without expecting any reward trust me, you are bound for greatness!

Ujujoan:

If he didn't return it at all he'll be in big trouble because the bank will eventually find the error and he'll be treated like a common criminal.

He didn't pick the money on the street, it was sent to his account and very traceable.

Even if he picked it from the street, taking it would have been as good as armed robbery because it doesn't belong to him.

It's good to encourage honesty but don't encourage dishonesty in the process . . .

u think u know the law? FYI he's under no legal obligation whatsoever to return any money, the case could have been between d bank and the depositor. he only chose the morally upright option.
I'm only amazed d way u are referring to his expectation as dishonesty. do u think it's so easy to resist the temptation of 1000 naira? not to talk of 800 k.
that he verified the True owners of the money doesn't mean greed...Please let's support this kind of development. drop ur thoughts and let's praise the guy for a job well-done

Na loonger throat go nab you guys. You guys don't even know what the money was meant for. Abi una wan make op carry the whole money? Back to plan A

[MOD] - I was banned for attempting to hijack this thread with my advert -

@Op.

You did a very good job. I only wish one day, Nigeria can return to a stage like this where we will put humanities first before conscience

That 20k is small. It's like a grain of sand in a desert of blessings that God has planned for you. People like you are the reason Nigeria may have hope after all. Well done.

honesty pays

God bless you mate!

The blessings and good will that will follow your for this are much greater than the 800k that wont even last a year!

amanikondo: I want to give you 10,000 Naira for your honesty. How do I reach you? I am not joking oooo. If you can post your email, I will reach out to you and someone will call to pay the money.I know say you no beg for money.

If he had spent that money, he will be a criminal . . . The money doesn't belong to him so that's stealing. I don't have to know the law to know that one.

The owner of the money might recover their money from the bank but the bank will surely make him pay for it till the last kobo.

I'm glad he didn't spend it . . . for his own good!

Hey my guy the lord sent you a blessing,and u use ur hand throw it away.
inside you u tot u should have gotten more than the 20k.

Those hailing ur mumu behaviour will no do the same .my guy mumu hug you.you carry last.

Op, you may be surprised at this, but u have just made a contact. You may get a business in future with someone known to this US guy who will then vouch for your honesty. Opens many doors.
