Foolish workers... I hope he or she is extremely rich for them to miss this kind of opportunity. £15,000 Is over 7.2million naira...

PrayerSlayer1:

Everything is not about money. Integrity first.
Proverbs 22:1
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

I've experienced this while working at a recycling plant. ..

We off machine jump enter conveyor belt begin rush Euros I
Me Nigeria with my Ghanaian, and Congolese colleagues.

The debris we were recycling had come from a demolished building.

Now, this is honesty. If the staff had gone with the money, it will be quite difficult to trace him, yet he returned it to the owner.

This is unlike a case where about N98m was mistakenly paid into an acc, the account owner "returned" the money and illiterates started praising him for "honesty" as if he had the option of not "returning" it.


To you, he is a foolish worker for "missing" a good opportunity, but to him, it is not an opportunity. He places more premium on self discipline and honesty. That is why humans are not and can never be the same.

You said that last year, see where you are now..abeg shift one side

You sef sabi am . Recycling Plants in Europe and America are treasure troves, depending on what you find on the conveyor belts on a daily basis. If you are a good sifter and picker, you will find stuff that you can sell for good money online. All kinds of things are mixed with the rubbish passing in front of you. I had the experience many years ago, working at a Recycling Plant in Europe. I found US Dollars, Mobile Phones in good condition, clothes, books etc. Yes, Congolese men and women are dominant in the recycling industry in Europe alongside people from Ghana. I worked with them. There was this Congolese dude who brought a big sack to work every night . He would search the rubbish thoroughly and put all the household items, toys, books, clothes etc he found into the sack and drive home with his loot in the morning. Someone told me he sent boxes of things he found to Kinshasa every month for his family to sell for him. The guy was always hardworking and committed to work and the whites loved him. But he knew what he was getting from the Recycling Plant. This life oh .

I did not live or work in the Netherlands. I worked for SITA too, but in England. I also worked for Veolia in France around 2009 and 2012. I never lived or worked in Holland. Yes, Veolia and SITA have Recycling Plants and Sites all over Europe. As for the shitty diapers, I also came across them. Life brings its own challenges to us. I have since left the Recycling Industry to other things. I had to step up and follow my bigger dreams. Thanks.

Kingstanding:
. Lol I swear you won't . The person that saw the money might have not step his foot in the Church before. Being an honest person is not a matter of being a church goer but it is a matter of home training and the society you're living. 97% of people born and raised in Western world don't know how to tell lie most especially white folks. Home training is the best.

If you work in recycling plants in the UK and you sort out the rubbish on conveyor belts, you will find a lot of precious things in the midst of the rubbish you are sorting. And if you have a business orientation, you will make a lot of money by selling the things you find on ebay or send them down to Nigeria to be sold for you. That is why the workers at this Recycling Plant returned the £15,000 to the couple. They know how much they make from Shoes, good clothing, DVD's, Computer parts, Flash Drives, phones, books etc they find in the rubbish they sort on a yearly basis. Not to talk of Freezers, TV Sets, Computers, Furniture etc that are also thrown away by people at Recycling Plants in the advanced world .
