Criminals trying to analyze good behaviours, shameful. If we ask now you will shout that corruption is killing Nigeria and yet you believe only fear can make men do good.
Most men are avoiding evil, not because it is evil, but because of the fear of what might come after the evil, or for the fear of hell... So, what are u saying.? Can the lady that returned N12m swear that she had not taken small money like N1,200 that is not hers.?? She was afraid of the big money jarre.. Stop calling me a criminal for saying my mind..
If you think you are a saint,, then post the picture of heaven for me, make I follow u see am.

This is quite impressive. A rare nice gesture.
But then there are FOUR major reasons why she could do that.

1.) Good heart.
She's good by nature. She's intrinsically good, and effortlessly too. Taking the money would taunt her good heart for a very long time and she couldn't afford that.

2.) Fear of being caught.
The money had been forgotten/left/lost before she saw it, I know. But then if it was later realized that she saw and bundled in such a huge amount of money, the story would have changed. It could cost her her job, you know? C'mon, this is Naija. They would have given it so many silly interpretations. She wouldn't want this, so the easiest thing was to return it.

3.) Ignorance (or better put, confusion).
For a woman-cleaner to be on a #7,500 a monthly salary? Oh, don't tell me she's one of those people that finished from school and then...no job. No. She didn't go to school. Okay, possibly. She wouldn't know how to use this money. At first, she would be confused and in total shock - in awe of the huge amount of money she's seen. So the only option would be to return this money...and be at peace with herself.

4.) Fame.
And this she's got. Before she started work, she must have been oriented as to what's expected of her. The code and conduct of her work. Again, she would have heard stories about people who returned money, how they were rewarded and consequently, became famous. That their doors opened too. She couldn't afford to miss this chance - because she knew, or rather, she was convinced that she would be settled for this. She equally thought about the prospect of her life changing for the better, with this opportunity. She couldn't miss this opportunity. Now, she's famous. The owner of the money she returned would undoubtedly, reward her. The airport authorities might (or rather,should) reward her. And now, the Lagos state house of assembly is planning to honour her. You see...Government Money! grin

Finally, she did what she did because of either or all of the above reasons. But whatever be the case, she's a woman with a golden heart. She deserves all the recognitions she's getting, and even more. We need more of her type in this country.

If it were me, I would do exactly what she did. Yes, I would return the money. Not because I'm a good guy, but because I know that there would be a reward. Again, because I know that God is watching. I'm just being honest here. smiley

God bless Nigeria.

This is the kind of woman that deserves a national honour, not the likes of Nyeson Wike under whose tenure as supervisory Minister of Education, the Universities were shut down for more than 6months and the Polytechnics for over 12months and yet the clueless GEJ had the temerity to award him a national honour. I'm just pissed with GEJ now.

Josephine Agwu recently went viral after she returned N12m to the owner at the Murtala Mohammed Int Airport, Lagos. The Lagos State House of Assembly plans to honor her soon. According to reports, Josephine earns N7,500 monthly.

Josehine up you!

Now all of us refuse to acknowledge that is has anything to do with the Igbo Nation but if to say that she zabs the dough, everyone could have beign acusing and abusing her, all Igbo girls and the entire Igbo people. Calling Igbo people money lover. But no one is crediting this rare atitude as Igbo signature

I speak the truth when I say....I would return the money....and not just for the religion reasons.

Some years ago, a homeless American man found $300000 dollars in the street. He took it to the Police. His reason for doing so was that it might be money linked to criminal gangs....and if he took the money for himself....the gangs would come after him(and it won't end well).

Of course...he was a bit wise...so he got a lawyer....just in case the Police did not find the owner.

Sometimes honesty is the best policy. I would rather earn a honest dime and stay poor...than steal someone else's money. And you won't like it if it was your money someone disappeared like that.

7 500. monthly and she returned 12 million..?? it is Well But this is Nigeria. I hope GEJ govt honours hers because all day know is to grant Pardons to political thief's..
And again if I know d money belongs to A Politician,I wouldn't return the money

Meanwhile, nobody is even asking the source of the money. The person who claims to have kept (forgotten) the money there, what was such amount of money doing in the toilet? What sort of business is he/she into that he/she had to go around with the money? Finally, if someone can possibly forget such amount of money, then definitely such a person is far from being a millionaire. What i'm saying is, when last did you easily forget your 10k when you know all you had was 15k? Then it means, even if the lucky person had taken away the money, whoever kept it wouldnt have worried him/herself much cos he/she still have much elsewhere. If na me eh, na only God sabi wetin for happen.
