ItsModella: I read the news some weeks back and I was so touched. So honest people still exist out there? Maybe I can renew my faith in humanity.

They still exist, Lady.

That rare character has brought me a lot of miracles in my life...

And like this woman, I also try to show appreciation when I see such people in order to encourage them because we are almost going into extinction

I see naffin profound in dis man's attitude, des tins happen almost evryday in our neighbourhood n we just turn d blind eye buh d gesture dat is most inspiring, is the appreciation n gratitude dat is being shown to d homeless man. More ova, sum pple do good wit d intention of receiving prizes n good shown bak to dem. Let's also laud d hands that showed appreciation.

Its very interesting to note such gesture exists somewhere other than Nigeria. His been innocent has indeed reward him greatly. Am sure if it happened in Niaja? People will call d begger a thief and maybe be jailed for it.

Let me know when a story like this comes out of Nigeria.

its very easy to be honest. all u have to do is to put urself in d other person's shoes and the happiness dat follows after the deed is done is satisfying enuf. i kept an ipad for someone that forgot it on d roof of his car once,thank God knew he was d o he was overjoyed and dat was all dt made me glad. lets be honest and d world will b a better place.
Re: Homeless Man Returns Diamond Engagement Ring; he's Rewarded With Over $180,000 by Addietunes(m): 7:10pm On Mar 22, 2013
NO WAY! d man must have not seen a pawn shop nearby or decided to continue thinking maybe he would see something better. We know how this things go now.

Honesty pays every where in the world except Nigeria.


I was in Dubai sometimes last year. We bought gold in a gold shop and the man mistakenly packed gold worth some $36,000 worth of gold in our pouch. When we came back, the guys were clapping and we were given wrist watches and cameras.

One of my guys said , if that happens in Nigeria, overzealous police men can even arrest us on our way back that they picked us from our hotels. I was moved to tears when one of the attendants said that he knew we will bring it that not all Nigerians are thieves and rogues.

We were delayed for their millionaire chairman to also give us presidential handshake.

Quite touching. He deserves a home out of this and looks like he's about to get it.

Honesty pays, but not in Nigeria. I heard a woman returned 500k someone left in her shop to the police only for the police to arrest her saying the money wasn't complete that it was 50k short

GraceBestowed: I read this story not too long ago, and it, literally, brought tears to my eyes!

It is true, we live in a world where we've had to seek solace in disbelief, and doubting others, so this dude right here deserves what he's getting!

Yes, the news is old, but the moral of the story is timeless!! Plus it's not everyone that watches (or reads) US news regularly.


Every news always brings tears to your eyes everyday...aa sign of weak emotion....what has tears got to do with this? mtcheew

This kind of a thing did not pay in Nigeria, I heard a story of a friend of mine, a hunter by profession, who saw caches of money probably left by armed robber in the bush while hunting. This man took the money to Sagamu police station. Instead of this man to be praise, he was detained .. Pls guess what follow

Good morning,

I don't know you from Adam, and you don't know me, please refrain from trying to rile me up, it's not working.

You have been ignored!
