In an attempt to credit Femi his giveaway prize, the foreigner mistakenly sent $14k (over N21 million).
"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. So, what happened was that he sent it to me.
"So, 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..."
Femi shares why he returned the money
Femi, a chemical engineering graduate, said he could not keep the money because he is a child of God and it didn't belong to him.
He added that his gesture was to demonstrate to the world that Nigerians had integrity. He said:
"I cannot keep the money because it is not mine. I am child of God and we all know that righteousness exalts a nation and 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 is happy, I am happy. I am just trying to show to the world that we Nigerians we 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.
"Thank you and God bless you all."
