A Nigerian man has won the admiration of netizens over his display of honesty after finding a wallet with a huge sum of money belonging to a bus passenger.
Nonso Oguejiofor, the passenger who couldn’t hide his excitement took to Facebook to narrate how he lost his wallet in a bus on his way home.
According to him, he realized that his wallet had gone missing when he was about boarding a tricycle, popularly called Keke, to his house after alighting from a bus he boarded earlier.
Fortunately for him, an honest man Charles Chigbogwu picked the wallet and used a neighbour’s Facebook account to trace him on Facebook since he doesn’t use social media.
Charles quickly posted his number for Nonso to call, which he did and Charles directed him to where he would meet him to pick his wallet.
In his words;
“Something happened few minutes ago that made me still have HOPE in our country.
‘I used public transport to go home from office on Friday due to traffic. On getting down from one of the Buses, I realised that my wallet was missing as I was about entering Keke to my house. I rushed back to the Bus Stop, the Bus was gone. It was a bad feeling cos I knew it wasn’t a pick pocket but carelessness.
“Just this afternoon, This young man named Charles Chigbogwu, even though He’s not on Social Media used his neighbour’s account to send me this message. This he achieved matching my name, my face and my hometown as is on my Voters Card in the Wallet.
“I called his number as requested, lo and behold he described everything in the wallet intact to the last N1 (mind you, there’s a huge sum of money in it).
“I went to meet him, to my utmost surprise, He blatantly refused to take 10k I offered him, insisting that He did what He did for humanity sake and not for rewards.
“Guys, I’m still dumbfounded. We still have Angels in Human form in Nigeria?”
