A Nigerian lady, identified as Titilola Damilola, returned almost two million naira that was mistakenly credited to her account.
Damilola, who is a businesswoman, made this known on her Facebook page, saying the incident happened last week when she was struggling to clear some goods and had been praying for financial help.
“Last week, I didn’t have shingbain (nada) in my account and I needed to clear goods that had just arrived. I was praying for a miracle,” she wrote.
Her “miracle” seemed to arrive when she woke up to a credit alert of nearly ₦2 million through Lemfi, a popular international money transfer platform.
“I woke up to see almost ₦2 million credited to my account. I even thanked God and waited for confirmation, thinking maybe someone wanted to buy in bulk. But hours passed — no receipt, no message, nothing,” she said.
After confirming the money wasn’t linked to any business transaction or customer order, she called her sister to ask if the funds had come from her. Moments later, one of her regular customers contacted her — revealing that her husband had mistakenly transferred the money to her account.
Without hesitation, she verified the transaction and returned the full amount. Despite being offered ₦20,000 as a token of appreciation, she politely declined.
“She insisted I keep ₦20k for stress. I politely declined because the money wasn’t mine,” she said.
She, advised people never to take what does not belong to them, as whatever one puts into the universe would return to them in folds, whether good or bad.
Kogi Trends reports that a similar event happened when Faiza Abdulkadir, a cleaner in Borno State, returned ₦4.8 million mistakenly credited to her account.
Faiza, who works at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and earns a monthly salary of just ₦30,000 while caring for five children and her elderly mother, while state reasons for her gesture said; “If you fear God, anything that does not belong to you would not attract you. We should always prepare for the hereafter and not be deceived by temporary worldly gains,” she said.
She was later rewarded with a ₦2.5 million gift from an anonymous “good Samaritan.
Similarly, Borno State First Lady, Dr. Falmata Babagana Zulum, presented Faiza with ₦1 million, food items, and vocational equipment on behalf of the state government.
