Chinonso expressed displeasure that the contractor rewarded Timothy with only N50k.

He wrote:

"Before going on TV i went to my mechanic to ask him about what I saw all over the Internet yesterday. He has been serving me very well. So when I read that he returned 10.8 million to one of his customers i was impressed. Today when I saw him he was quite ill . He said he is having headache. The man that he returned his money gave him N50,000.00. People can be really unimaginable. Behold!"

Social media reactions

Andrew Ezeudegbe said:

"He did what he was supposed to do. The money does not belong to him. If you spend it, you will surely pay back a hundred times. So be warn. There is a reason for every action. Use your own well."

"Biko 50k is too poor, let's tell ourselves the truth. Someone returned 10.8 million back to the owner without stress and some people are here yarning dust. What if he cornered the money? Mtcheeeew. Sir, the good Lord will bless you beyond your imaginations in Jesus name, Amen."

Adajesus Makuachukwu said:

"Is God that bless man not human.
"The amount the man gave him to me still okcoz you don't know how much he had to spend on that project.
"Beloved for doing good don't regret God is just watching to know ur mind he will surprise you OK .
"You are healed."

Annoited Man said:

"50k is OK because if He didn't returned the money mistakenly sent to his account by his customer, the customer knows he mistakenly sent the money to his account wrongly and he will be arrested if he spend the money. His identity is well know to the owner of the Money."
