A Nigerian man, Aliyu Jalal, has expressed surprise at the credit alerts he received after announcing on social media that he finally set up an OPay account.
It all started on Monday, January 6, when Aliyu informed his Facebook followers that he had set up his OPay account after almost 15 years of using other banks.

Aliyu described his experiences with other banks as toxic and attached his OPay account details, urging his followers to "send me welcome." His Facebook post read:
"Today I have finally opened an account with Opay after about 15 years of toxic relationships with Zenith, Unity, Keystone, and Union banks. My worst experience has been with Union Bank, and the most tolerable has been UBA. I can say UBA is the most decent bank in my experience. Anyways, go and send me welcome."
Aliyu receives credit alerts
In a follow-up post on Facebook, Aliyu marvelled at the response from his followers, saying he had received up to N8,200 in an hour. He was amused that people took his "small joke" seriously.
He, however, did not discourage his followers from sending more money.
"Small joke, but you guys have been sending me welcome gifts into my Opay. In an hour I've received N8200 and I know many are coming.
"I know many are sending it as a joke, because someone even sent N5. But even a joke that threw peanut into your account is better than a joke that offends. Thanks guys and those small tokens mean a lot. It speaks about our shared humanity. But no need to philosophize. Keep sending already🤭," Aliyu wrote.
Aliyu takes down his OPay details
Aliyu made another Facebook post to set the records straight. He said he had to remove his OPay account details from the original post because people took his joke seriously and kept sending money, and there were those who thought he was subtly begging.
At this point, the money he received had exceeded N15,000.

"I am a little bit disappointed in you for this, Sir. I started following you when you were dragged on this app for being "stubborn" so that I can see who you really are through your in app activities because I fancy looking deep into the style of certain people who this our society despise as I believe the society usually despises people who are strong, defiant and straightforward.
"But see you editing your post because of some mere, baseless claims. I was told you are stubborn. They misunderstood it 😁."

The lady said she found out about the OPay target saving package sometime in 2024 and keyed into it. She began saving N1k daily to cater for one of her rents.
She noted that OPay would charge a user for breaking the target savings and reward those who don't break theirs with interest.
