Nigerian Man Returns $14k Mistakenly Sent by Foreign Cryptocurrency Trader: His Inspiring Reason
A Nigerian man, Anjola Femi, recently garnered widespread attention on social media for his remarkable act of honesty after receiving $14,000 (approximately N21 million) by mistake from a foreign cryptocurrency trader. The trader, @raffayalvi, publicly praised Femi for his integrity, bringing the incident to light.
Femi, who goes by the Twitter handle @muchino67, participated in a cryptocurrency giveaway organized by Rafael Alvi, a foreign trader. The giveaway initially awarded Femi $100 worth of Solana. However, Alvi accidentally transferred 100 Solana, worth $14,000, instead of the intended $100.
Femi recounted the experience, saying, “My name is Anjola Femi, the guy that is known as Lucky, that is the Twitter handle @muchino67. So I won this giveaway on Solana, $100 worth of Solana from Rafael Alvi this morning. When he sent it to me, he now messaged me that he mistakenly sent 100 Solana which was $14k instead of $100. So, he requested me to hold 10 and send 90 to him in which I did.”
When asked why he chose to return the substantial sum, Femi explained, “I cannot keep the money because it is not mine. I am a child of God and we all know that righteousness exalts a nation. Thank God for Apostle Chris Onofua, the Kingdom Spread World Ministry general overseer. He has taught us the way of righteousness, so I am very very happy about what I did.”
He added, “He is happy, I am happy. I am just trying to show to the world that we Nigerians are still great and also have a lot of people with integrity. I am also a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2017 set, chemical engineering to be precise.”
Femi’s decision to return the money highlights the importance of integrity and honesty, serving as an inspiring example of moral values. His actions have been praised by many, reinforcing the positive image of Nigerians and their commitment to ethical principles.
