He picked money not belonging to him, pocketed it, he did not even speak about it with his colleagues to find out who owns it nd u call him honest

No wonder we hail thieves in nigeria....

As you are commending the act. Were you grateful too to the guy. Like giving him some out of it. If you did not then you werent grateful enough. Honesty and Gratitude are life styles that everyone is supposed to have.

Ask the hausa man he will tell you he did that for the fear of Allah... And if he goes to bomb a local market... you will link the latter to religion and tell me the former is self principle? your logic never cease to aaze me..

Are we christians not meant to also do things for the fear of God.Afterall the two guys in the keke were no allah worshippers.We should not always put everything under religious radar.

Yes Religion have everything to do with honesty, or is it because the said religion happened to be Islam? Will you have said the same thing if it was done by a Christian?
Had it been that the hausa man had committed an evil act or an act of terrorism, you guys will be quick to attribute it or blame it on Islam. The least you can do is to give credit where credit is due even if it's done by a Muslim or any other religion

Simple.. With comment read so far it shows how hypocrite people are. It can't be religion now but if it's terrorism it is religion.

So I just checked in my account to see several mentions- some insulting me and others calling me liar, and some claiming that religion has nothing to do with individual character.
The truth is , whether we like it or not, there are some forces that shape people behaviour and make them act the way they do, and religion is one of these forces.
Religion keep people in check, because of the fear of inevitable in the afterlife. Muslims are generally more devoted and serious about their religion than Christians. Muslims take religion Very serious and it's the most important to them, this is the reason why there are more honest Muslims than Christians because Islam in the strongest term, forbid cheating the lies and many other crimes.
Let me give you guys an example, I have never had the notion that Muslims are considered to be more honest than Christians until I joined nairaland. I have never had any serious relationship with Christians until I registered in this forum.
I trade PayPal, Bitcoin and many other currencies in nairaland business section, and there was time I want sell PayPal to one of the member here. The disagreement ensured between us as to who will send the money first. But once I drop my bank account name and he saw Muslim Hausa name, he asked if I'm northern Muslim and told him yes. He said no problem, he would send me the money first because he believes Muslims are more honest than Christian, especially northern Muslims. That's even how I got the idea that Muslims are more honest than Christians. This happened to me not once. And here in the north we see our self as less honest Muslims than Arab.

Not muslims, buy Hausas are honest. Either Muslim or Christians. Not talking politicians though. cry

I bet to disagree, honesty has nothing to do with religion.
1. On two occasions at the airport, money has been returned to the owner that am aware of. Who are they? Christians
2. The civil savant in kogi that was over paid with over 1+ million, she returned it. Who is she? Christian.
3. Last week, a guy reported an alert on his diamond bank account, from his name, you will know he is a Christian.
Plus many other scenario like that. So dnt add religious sentiment cos of ordinary 5k. Na people de return millions.

I don't believe so sir, honesty is not a function of religion. Home training should also be factored into this. Christianity and Islam only enhance your true core values, you don't develop those good attributes because you are a Christian or a Muslim. Why do we have many corrupt pastors and Islam clerics, what's even the basis for comparison when we all are from different family backgrounds, past and experiences. We only become better because we are good on the inside. Your religion only brings out the best in you not the other way round.

This morning I went down to get my trouser amended, prior to going I had about 5,000 naira in the pocket of this said trouser and I totally forgot I had put it in there last night. Fast forward I went to an Hassan multipurpose shop near my street where they amended clothes, shoes and bags and gave the trouser to one to amend whilst I waited.

When he was there I went home and tested the trouser on my body, then I dipped my hand into my pockets and at that moment I remembered I had put some money there last night but lo and Behold there wasn't any money in there anymore. It was crazy as I sped immediately with the trouser still on back to the shop, one arriving back there I couldn't find the man who amended my trouser. I asked his colleagues about him but they said he had left then I complained to them that the cloth he amended for me had some money in it but I couldn't find it anymore. They told me they had seen no money but that he had already left. Dang! This man has claimed sharp on me and zoomed off with my money and I was resigning to fate, he came strolled back to the shop from wherever he went to and I couldn't recognize him but the other hausa men spoke some hausan to him and then told me he's the one.. I told him i had some money in the trouser he amended but after shaping I couldn't find the money...

Love and Behold, he dipped his hand in his pocket and told me he picked it on the floor that it must have fallen while I was removing the cloth from my body after testing his work. He handed back the 5,000 naira to me.
The honesty of this Muslim fella has made my Sunday already and I couldn't help but wonder, how many of we Christians can actually do this. I know certain people who probably would have shared that money amongst themselves the moment they saw it and all connive to say they didn't see it when I had returned to complain.

THE good is not by claiming we are God - fearing, it's by our deeds.

This is a true story and happened to me minutes ago, Happy Sunday Guys.

Honesty is not attributable to one religion

I was at my barber shop this afternoon for a haircut. He gave someone change and money fell out of his pocket. No one saw it. After sometime I saw the 2k neatly folded and picked it and handed it over to him.
Once u are honest, u are honest. It dosent have to do with a particular religion. My father thought me to be contented in what I have as my own.

Nairaboi:

Read my comment and digest extensively. I made mention of a typical Hausa man, and not a Moslem. Muslims you can find in any tribe, but believe me if you have been transacting business amongst the tribes in Nigeria, you will never dispute my claim that an Hausa man is more truthful and honest as far Nigeria is concerned. Even though I may not have statistics to back this up, it is a statement of fact. Mind you am not even a Northerner

Hausa people are mostly Mohammedan, except the few who're traditionalists or Christians. So there's a point in mentioning that they're Mohammedans.

There is nothing that I've noticed to be honest about them. That your​experiences with them are good doesn't make them more truthful or honest than the rest of the Nigerian populace.

They've proven themselves as brutal, cruel (senselessly so) and dishonest people as a whole. Do not try and paint them as something different from what they really are.

I never said you're a Northerner.

The truth is , whether we like it or not, there are some forces that shape people behaviour and make them act the way they do, and religion is one of these forces.
Religion keep people in check, because of the fear of inevitable in the afterlife. Muslims are generally more devoted and serious about their religion than Christians. Muslims take religion Very serious and it's the most important to them, this is the reason why there are more honest Muslims than Christians because Islam in the strongest term, forbid cheating the lies and many other crimes.
Let me give you guys an example, I have never had the notion that Muslims are considered to be more honest than Christians until I joined nairaland. I have never had any serious relationship with Christians until I registered in this forum.
I trade PayPal, Bitcoin and many other currencies in nairaland business section, and there was time I want sell PayPal to one of the member here. The disagreement ensured between us as to who will send the money first. But once I drop my bank account name and he saw Muslim Hausa name, he asked if I'm northern Muslim and told him yes. He said no problem, he would send me the money first because he believes Muslims are more honest than Christian, especially northern Muslims. That's even how I got the idea that Muslims are more honest than Christians. This happened to me not once. And here in the north we see our self as less honest Muslims than Arab.


It appears people are very scared of losing their arms rather than the way you portray it, as them being so honest.

Given enough freedom in Western lands, I've had Mohammedan associates who ate during Ramadan, lied , were greedy, hateful etc

Remove the fear of physical retribution by other Mohammedans, and you will see them revert to their true nature.

They're just as dishonest as everyone else. And worse because they can be very hypocritical.

Whether Muslims are more honest than Christians in Nigeria, I cannot say with certainty but that perception is widespread. A Hausa Muslim man from Kaduna was among a group of Nigerians visiting a foreign country on work related visit. They met with Nigerians living in that country as part of the visit. When they were coming home a Nigerian lady resident and working in that country brought some money about $10, 000 to this Kaduna man to take back home to her mother who lived in Portharcourt.
The man said but he lives in Kaduna and hardly goes to PH and there are in fact persons in the visiting group who are from PH and those who visit PH frequently that she should give the message to them. This lady insisted that she wanted him to take the message because he was a Muslim and a northerner, she was sure the message would be delivered to her mother, but she could not trust the others. She gave her mother's name and address and said It doesn't matter how long it takes for him to visit Portharcourt.
This is a true story. But of course this is just one story and it cannot be used to generalize issues. But it will be interesting to know if you had a similar or opposite kind of perception from other people.

At least you have made it clear that you are talking about Mohammedans ( whatever that is) and not Muslims.
