I actually dont have a problem with people who say he should run with the money, I mean that is the leftist thing to do. I do have a problem with everybody thinking that there must be a reward for doing good. This in another sense has made doing good be a conscious effort rather than it being an unconscious one. in the real sense, I mean that everybody now wants to do good because of what they would gain from it. What about doing good because its the right thing to do and your heart would feel at peace not for anyman but for the fact that you know you are doing the morally right thing. This mentality has eaten deep into nigerians thats why you see people who help you find parking spaces and want to be sorted. You see people who help you push your broken down car and want some money from you, the security men at the banks wanting you to tip them for doing their jobs and also others who help you in one way or the other and want some form of reward even when there should not be any. Many have forgotten that just saying "Thank You" is one of the greatest rewards anyone can get. Lets change our mentality please.

Thanks.

I understand your point and to an extent agree with you. However, the circumstances surrounding the 'good' performed should dictate if an award is merited. A security man doing his job, NO....Returning #7 million, Definitely YES.

Yes he needs to be rewarded but it doesn't have to be the bank....in case you don't know he is already rewarded by God. How much can the bank give to him from the said sum and would liberate him?

Diamond Bank has reacted via Social Media, after a Twitter User, @raynergy called on the bank to help resolve the N7.3m that was mistakenly transferred to his account by a Company.

The User, @raynergy wrote on Twitter earlier:

Dear @DiamondBankNG exactly at this time yesterday 7,310,000.00, seven million three hundred and ten thousand was transferred to my account.

The transfer was made by a company. It’s exactly 24 hours & I have not been contacted. The money is not mine and I want it out of my account

Please follow back so I can DM my account information and any other details you may require. Thank you.

Immediately the story went viral, the Bank swung into action, and sorted things out.

They reacted on Twitter: “This has been resolved. You are one rare Diamond #Keepshinning”

Nigerians weren’t satisfied with their response, as they feel Ray should be rewarded for his generous deed.

Below are some reactions on twitter:

[color=#990000][/color]NAWA FOR THIS GUY OOO
I DEY CRAZE TO TELL THEM?

The guy did the right thing and it is commendable but should not expect any reward.

yemmit90:


Dont forget he may have more than the said money in his bank account. After good meals, nice house, cars or probably a beautiful wife, you will discover that you dont really need too much money in life to be happy.

even dangote still dey find money. There is no such thing as having enough money

oluwayimika123:
And I'm looking at everybody saying he shld b rewarded.
Whether he had called d attention of Diamond bank to d money or not dey will definitely find out and d money will definitely b retrieved from his acct without his consent.
If he even tries to prove smart by withdrawing d whole money from his acct at once b4 dey find out and he gets away with it restrictions will b placed on his acct and he won't b able to use d acct again. Somebody may b saying he will abandon d acct Buh don't worry with d help of BVN, DAT can b extended to his oda accts with other banks and he will definitely b caught 1 day. Only if he is going to leave the shores of this country DAT is wen he can get away with d money.story

No doubt, the teller DAT posted made a big mistake and he calling out d attention of Diamond bank to it is a laudable thing.

story story

Actions like this should be commended by the banking system and in a better way than just writing. However, that person has just saved himself from becoming an impulsive criminal; he escaped the trap of the devil.

At least dem for give an the 10,000 on top

Thanks as in anticipation for your reply.

and BTW the bank is not under any compulsion to reward the guy..that is the normal thing to do..when something is not urs, you return it to the rightful owner.


Nigeria will never progress with the kind of warped mentality most Nigerians have

FunkyAlhaji2015:
Judge will set your bail for 7.3 million with 2 sureties in like sum, if you know what this means

dyadeleye:
Family member: bro Ray, please u get 5k wey u no dey use again make u borrow me?
Ray: the economy is so hard right now, besides I'm still waiting for my July salary to be paid.
Family member:

but he did the right thing na.

That money was fortunate enough not to hit the wrong account most especially if it belongs to someone who is in dire need of money

What should you do when an unexpected N7million enters you account? http://inquizimedia.com/2017/08/16/nigerian-man-returns-unxpected-diamond-bank-alert-7-million/

Meanwhile, the response from Diamond bank isn't encouraging at all, it's not enough to appreciate him verbally, he deserves a lucrative job offer or a couple of hundred thousands

DoubleO07:
In the Nigeria of today, yes 7.3 million might just take him a bit far and that is if he is the smart type, because most people in Nigeria just complain and shout for money but majority of them don't really know what to do with money and will just want to be rich to show off or to impress others.

For one who wants peace of mind the wise thing is to return the money because he just might have been used to cover up something way bigger than 7.3million and the people now saying he his a fool for speaking will be the same people calling for his head to roll when EFCC list his name later that he was part of this and that.

Moving forward, A lot of Nigerians really don't know people from ALL OVER THE WORLD can read all what they type and say and those saying he should not return it are further telling the world this is how Nigerians think by default and later you will say the government is corrupt.

If I am to give a definition to the corruption, I will say corruption thrives among corrupt people period!

If we as Nigerians start to fight Corruption form all angles and manner, people will think twice before they do it.

A good name they say is better than silver and Gold but in Nigeria the reverse is the case, because every one wants what they can eat right away and by pass any other consequences.

I feel a lot of Nigerians don't really see that things have gotten SO BAD and the earlier we change our ways the better.

The above comment is one of the top ten best comments I have ever heard from a Nigerian. I'm highly impressed.
Fellow Nigerians, this is not our one-room or 5-star apartment. This is social media. Even if you are not good, pretend as much as you can to be good.

this amount carry me go Canada, study 4 years with cool mind, anyway the guy na big man, poor man like me no fit return , abi mo ti return ni

Big lie!!, I know of someone who got away with such, his own was 150million GTB, about 3 years ago. It was months after, the police and efcc started looking for him, when d depositor of the funds raised an alarm. After bribing the police and d efcc and with the services of a good lawyer,at the end of the day, he was only asked to refund what was left out of it. He ended up refunding about million, he got away with the remaining 70mil.

Stuffs like this happen a lot, and in most cases u don't hear about them on social media like this case.

A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.” – Proverbs 22:1.
The question should be; Do you believe that a good name is better than riches? Is your name in good standing with those around you? If not, what caused it and how could you turn it around? Have you lost sight of your integrity in the pursuit of riches? How popular is your actual name.
Weldone Ray, I celebrate you.
