Muibi Sonibi: Nigerian Man Kickstarts Campaign to Build House for Driver Who Returned Money Years Ago

  • An 88-years-old man, Muibi Sonibi, who returned a huge sum of money he saw many decades ago is still poor
  • A kind Nigerian man, Orioyomi Hamzat, has started a crowdfunding drive for the man so that he could have a house
  • Many Nigerians who commented on a video of the man showed ways that they could support Muibi's building project

A Nigerian man, Muibi Sonubi, who was working as a taxi driver decades ago returned a huge sum of money he saw in his vehicle.

He did all that despite being very poor. Many years after his wonderful deed, the man still stays in his father’s old mud house.

Orioyiomi said he will give the man N100k for his building project.

People had condemned his act so much that his name “Muibi Sonubi” became an adjective in Yorubaland to describe someone who is dumb.

Oriyiomi is therefore asking Nigerians to donate towards Muibi's welfare so that the man can have a house to call his own before he dies.

Take N100,000

The media personality said he has done his part by placing the man on salary. Oriiyomi pledged to give the man the sum of N100,000 as a contribution towards his project.

The man said it is not necessary for people to send money. He added that they could give building materials. Muibi is now 88 years old.
