I couldn’t keep the money; it’s not mine. I’m a child of God — Nigerian giveaway winner who refunded crypto trader speaks.

Earlier today, the story of a Nigerian known as Lucky, who returned $14,000 to a crypto trader who mistakenly sent him more than the intended amount, was trending. The crypto trader shared a video of himself making a video call to Lucky to appreciate him for his honesty.

Lucky, whose real name is Akinola Femi and a chemical engineering graduate of FUT Minna, has now come out to explain why he returned the money. Lucky disclosed that the crypto trader had sent him 100 Solana worth $14,000 instead of just 10 Solana worth $100. Upon the trader’s request to refund 90 Solana and keep just 10, Lucky immediately refunded the excess to Rafael Avey, the crypto trader.

Lucky explained that because he is a child of God and knew the money didn't belong to him, he couldn't keep it. This act of honesty has garnered him widespread praise.

Revealing his Twitter handle, Lucky appreciated his pastor for teaching him honesty. He expressed happiness about his actions and wanted to show the world that there are still good and honest Nigerians out there.


What do you think about Lucky? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

We are proud of you brother.
At least, let the outside world knows that there are still good people in Nigeria.
Swift destruction awaits everyone tarnishing the image of this country in one way or other, whether you're a politician, a drug pusher or a fraudster. You'll not escape it. The negative stereotype is just too much!

Major issues we have in this country is that people appointed to perform some duties are not independent of the forces of corruption.
EFCC and ICPC should not be reporting to anyone. Not, the president, not the the attorney general, nobody.
I only blame people who thinks someone somewhere is more capable of turning situations around in Nigeria. If we don't retrace our steps and go back in time to when we got things right, every successive government would be than the former, regardless of who's the president.
Nigeria was doing better than more than 70% of the countries of the at independence, including all the Asians Tigers. How many years along the line and we're 500years behind?
I personally think the 1966 coup was a grave mistake and we should take things back to how they were before that point in time.

One of our problem is we have too much farmers

So how come we have lesser food output if this is true?
I would have agreed with you if you said we have too many people doing too little.
That's because the majority of farmers are poor people. The people who have the money are investing in less productive ventures.

Netherland made €50 billion on agricultural export last year alone. I bet we'll doing fine if agriculture is the only thing we're doing and make up to that.
The fact is, most of us don't like agriculture. Food used to be the least of our problems, it's unfortunate how things have turned out to be.

Let them blow themselves to oblivion if they wish, Tinubu should not bat an eyelid.
Come 2027, no election will take place in any volatile area, so those behind this should choose how they plan to disenfranchise their fan base.

If you're not a frequent traveler you won't know this economic situation is not peculiar only to Nigeria. Make una just dey whine una self.

Have you ever wondered what are they Chinese doing that out farmers are joy doing

Write it down

Why can they do this and our farmers can't write it down

Then the truth would be clear

It's time we realized we need more people that can go into farming than we have now.
We spend and invest our money on somethings that are not so important.
If a Nigerian has some change now, what he or she would think of investing on won't be beyond building hotels, setting up restaurant or bars. Most farmers don't have enough capital necessary for large scale farming. That's why we depend heavily on imported food.
Most people see farming as dirty jobs, but interestingly you don't even have to be in the farm to be a farmer.

mrvitalis:

Which loans? Smh 🤦‍♂ I honestly don't have time to talk about this right now

I have been singing it but well Nigerians don't like truth they want what they want to be truth to be truth

Everything is not government. Before we have modern democracy, we've been existing. No one ever accuse our traditional rulers of starving them. It's understandable in time of famine when yields are bad. This is not the situation, but everyone is singing things are expensive but no one ever imagined who will do the farming if they don't.
Government don't own farms or sell foodstuffs, and I'm damn sure if the government gives everyone funds to farm, majority of those shouting of hunger will divert it for something else.

BeeBeeOoh:

Things like this are prone to fraud where the targets don't ever get to receive the package.
If I were to be the President, I would never engage in any program that'll involve giving money or food items to the people, because in this country where wickedness and greed reign supreme, it's those in charge of disbursement that'll embezzle over half of it, over half of the remaining will go to those close to them. The rest...
At the end of the day, you might not know or meet a single person who can say they are beneficiaries

You are right on spot. The truth is, this is NOT a Nigerian story.I posted myreservations about the story justseconds ago before I saw this very sensible post. Please don't give up. Jobs are scarce to grt in Nigeria,so why would a REAL company in Nigeria poste a none existent jobs when theyalready have a very big NO VACANCY notice at the gate.

You went through primary school, 6 yearsin secondary and 4,5,0r ven 6 years and you allow yourself to be misled by amisleading though real story.YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF A GREAT DIS-SERVICE.



LEARN from yourmistakes and try again later. Pls,don't let this misleading story dampen your enthusiasm. Learn to flock with positive-minded people. God bless you. You will get there someday

Well, my friend, Nigerian companies are even worse.

gidgiddy:


When you have any proof, beyond mouth, that IPOB killed anyone, let us know

They are telling you that IPOB killed this young girl while enforcing sit at home, but did not bother to tell you she died from a stray bullet in a gun battle between AVG (Anambra Vigilante Group) and kidnappers

That's how they tell the world IPOB killed people

A proof that the lady actually died or what exactly are you saying?
IPOB or UGM aside, isn't it bad enough that 5 people lost their lives in a crossfire between Vigilantes and "Kidnappers"?
I'm sure Obi wouldn't have missed his usual condolences had the incidence happened outside the South East.
This level of hypocrisy is an abomination to God. Damn! This is ridiculous.

If farming was very lucrative, your government would have invested in it. .

If farming is not lucrative, food would be very cheap and we won't even be having this conversation in the first place.

The reason Why most people are shunning farming even in the rural places is because it is not profitable. You can not buy your dream car, or build your dream house just by farming in a subsistence way, which most Nigerians do.

This is actually funny because, how many people are building their own houses and buying their dream cars from their salaries?

You don't make enough profit. Your entire produce in a year can be bought with someone's four months salary who is earning just 60k as a whitecolor job earner. The farmers in the village have seen how easy those working In the town and elsewhere in the oil industry, tech, entertainment e.t.c., make money and live quite okay. They also want that soft life.

If you spend 100k on farming, someone earning 60k monthly can't buy your produce with his or her annual salary. That's a fact.
Since I started farming in 2017, I've never spend above 200k on two hectares of land. Since then, I don't even know the price of Garri or yam again. I'll be adding beans this year. After taking what I need for myself, the proceeds from selling the rest can buy everything else I need for the year. I'm not factoring what it's been stolen, because I've not been on the farm since 2019.
I'm very surprised you're saying farming is not profitable. As far as I know, it's the only risk free venture that guarantees profit, safe for bad yields and pests.

No nation can farm their way into prosperity through subsistence farming with crude tools as Nigerians do.

No one is saying we should farm our way to prosperity, but at least, we must be able to self sufficient in terms of agriculture.
The problem we're having now is because we can not feed ourselves.
We all want the prices of food to be reasonably OK, but want to assume that someone somewhere is doing all the farmings for us to and buy it cheap.
We can't keep blaming the government for food scarcity. Government don't sell foodstuffs, it's people that grow it

Brandosky:

Anuofia !! Show us what you have achieved more than 1 year after you were sworn in. Election is long gone. It belongs to the past. Show us how you have moved nigeria forward from were you meet it.

You guys always claim Obi won the election, he's just asking by how many votes?
Imagine you were arrested for making a false claim, is this what you'll be telling the judge? Your sentence go too long.


Anyone who has witnessed elections in Nigeria would know that last year polls is about the most credible one despite the cry of rigging from the usual quarters.
We didn't see unreasonable figures flying around from any state, but Obidients would not have that because INEC didn't declare their Messiah the winner without even knowing how much votes he polled.

Mr. Arije still dey chop Davido money. Well done Sir.

The evil you wish upon others will certainly befall you

Even as a woman, I have grown big dogs and this Rottweiler who is now huge lives in my room yet you are scared to your bones of animals God created you as a man to conquer

You are so scared of them, you hate them and wish evil on their owners

Pussy ass fool

Pseudo Women masquerading as men everywhere

First, it's not a wish, it's a fact that these wild beasts attack more kids than grown-ups.
It's not my fault if you decide to become emotional about it. Apart from my own experience, there's even a thread here a dog killed it's owner's son. These dogs were bred to be hunters with killer instincts and were never meant to be kept by rookies like yourself. Whatever the dogs decide to make of you when they get the right triggers, you'll only have yourself to blame.
Secondly, I can't allow my kids near any house where they rear these kind of dogs, and I'll gun down at the very first sight, any unmanned or unleashed wild beast near my house, so you should only be worried about yours children if you have any.

Trade mark of APC supporters. They get petty, you respond and they tell you quickly that you started it all!

Please read your first comment again, then tell us who was emotional and petty in the first place.

Or were you not there when BAT was plotting to become the President of the whole of Nigeria, overlooking the SE deliberately? Did the NW and SW equate to the whole of Nigeria? Today he is the President of the whole of Nigeria, including the same SE that he overlooked.

NW and SW with combined voter's strength of almost half of the total registered voters?
You can't win a national election if you lose in those two regions. That's a fact.

This is how he'll be yelling crusher the day the dog will attack one of his kids and the dog won't let go.

Very deadly. You can see someone just 2 hours ago and he's dead of cholera just within then and now.

Ebigwei007:
now that he has gotten it, then what has he done with the power?

Contest for the position. Let's see what you can do.
People that can't successfully lead a team of 5 people are also disparaging the president of a nation of 200 million people.
Please I don't have time joining issue with someone who thinks only old people fall.

Ebigwei007:
lolz, its ur foolishness that is making you feel that an old man who should be resting with his great grand children at home, your foolishness is what is making you nt reasoning like someone who have brain. Have you forgotten that they were young when they became what they were? Please relax and enjoy what the cry of the people will do to that old man that fell.

When you get to that age, you can decide to forgo your unfulfilled ambitions for a care giver job. It's your choice.

DaddyCoool:


You know, this demonstrates why a native speaker of a language is still a native speaker. This was written by a native speaker. People like you and Akpabio only know basic English. It takes massive familiarity with a language to grasp poetic and other aspects of it.
Chinua or Wole will immediately see that Akpabio just exposed his lack of thorough familiarity with English language

And you're sure the NOA version is the certified true copies from the Lady who composed it?
Just read the NOA version and tell me what is correct about those phrases.
No native speaker will speak such grammar in 2024.

SpecialAdviser:

In a capitalist economy, the government creates avenue for healthy competition that will cause the price of goods to come down. Oga this is not the only government in Nigeria history. Ur president can ask others how they achieved it. I don't have energy for all these

The last I checked, Nigerians have always complained about their government since 1960.
Don't assume you're talking to a kid here.
Mention one regime during which there was no increase in the price of commodities.

Ebigwei007:
you might nt get up to my age

But you pray to get to Tinubu age?
Can you now see the foolishness in your reasoning?
I don't even know how someone falling has now become a point of discussion.
Like, can you even walk and never fall at least once in a year?

DaddyCoool:
What this underlines is that Mr Apkabio is NOT good at English - hence his almost illiterate grammatical explanations.
NOA version is better and grammatically more correct

No, it shows you don't know basic English.

bentenny:

This is the problem I have with your likes!
You react without thinking thereby spewing rubbish!

So because GEJ who was from the SS didn't do much to ensure resource control hence other president s won't do the same?

This is the kind of myopic mentality that will keep making our leaders take us for a ride!

Don't you know that when there is resource control,the pressure will leave the president and everyone will focus on their governors forcing them to be accountable to their people!

With the spotlight positioned on the governors,they will be condemned to not only be accountable for the humongous funds from their natural resources but will ensure that they work hard enough to justify their stay or they get butted out!

As long as we keep practicing this terrible feeding bottle policy of FG sharing faac allocations to states and LGAs,the governors will not be accountable and FG or president will keep getting the blame!

Please try to make sense when quoting me. Resource control or not, it shouldn't stop the governors from being responsible and alive to their duties.
I pointed out how these governors are hiding behind our tendencies to blame only the federal government, you said we should go full resource control.
Maybe you've not seen the case filed by the federal government against State government as regards local government autonomy and guess who are the ones against it.
Just wait until we achieve full resource control first before you know your rights in your state.

SpecialAdviser:

Oga start the business and sell cheaper. This is a capitalist economy. Stop blaming innocent traders

So what's the sense in creating this thread then?
Is it fair to blame the president for prices in a capitalist economy?
I don't even know how it should be the president's fault if the price of beans goes up. Like, is the government now selling beans?
