  The action of this Nigerian lady has just proven to all that Indeed good people still exists in our nation. I have heard of people who received an amount which is even smaller than this but refused to return it back to the owner. But this lady proved to be different, and I pray that God will reward her for such an action.  According to reports online, a young Nigerian lady have shocked a lot of people after sending back millions of Naira that was sent into her account. This lady revealed that a company who was supposed to send her N38k mistakenly sent in N38million. Instead of spending the money (like many people would do), She returned the money back to the company and this have really caused a lot of reactions online.More photos below.

  There is compelling reason to alert the nation of another orchestrated smear campaign against President Muhammadu Buhari, using some online newspapers and blogs. The campaign, scheduled to be launched anytime soon through editorials and purported special investigative stories, is designed to further exacerbate tension in the land, by portraying the President as pandering to ethnic and other primordial tendencies, contrary to his pledge to belong to all Nigerians. Impeccable security findings indicate that those behind the plot have procured online blogs and newspapers, which are to launch coordinated publications, alleging subjugation and suppression of a particular religion and ethnic groups. A specific medium has so far contacted some opinion leaders, especially those very critical of President Buhari.
