In his words:

"I mistakenly sent 525,000 Naira to Opay account I don’t even know the person. I wanted to run mad bcos the money was meant for my farming input. I messaged the number on WhatsApp and luckily the person replied me. That was on April 1. I pleaded with her and begged her to kindly send me the money back.
"I was very positive when I called her and she assured me that she will definitely return back the money to me that she is from a good home. Then second day I lost hope when she didn’t send the money back. I was completely devastated and sad. I later texted her to even deduct the 25k on the money and send me the remaining 500k. Still no response.

"I’m into cat fish production and processing and the money was meant for some catfish feeds and other equipments. Since I’m just done with my agricultural production training through IITA and decided to set my own farming too. Well maybe fish farming is not meant for me since have lost my little capital to start my one business too. Mind you I have a degree in philosophy and it seems there are mo jobs for philosophers in the country.
"I lost hope in ever getting my money back and started re strategizing on how to save up again. God giveth and he also taketh. Then this morning I received the shock of my life when I saw an alert of 525k on my Opay account. I thought i was dreaming and immediately I messaged the person to thank her and she apologized for sending the money late. She didn’t even take anything from the money. So we still have some good people in the country. In almost curse her when I was praying for her. Believe me not everyone in the country is bad. She is indeed a good Christian that has fear of God."
