The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Saturday commended a Nigerian doctorate student in the University of Tsukuba, Japan, Mr Ikenna Nweke, who returned a missing wallet with huge sums of money to the police, and also turned down offer of a percentage by the authorities.
.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement titled “Thank you for projecting values of honesty and decorum, President Buhari tells Ikenna Nweke who made the country proud in Japan.”
.
Adesina said the President saluted Nweke for projecting the values of honesty, integrity and contentment that should be the hallmark of a people.
.
He quoted Buhari as further noting that good virtues and propriety are the hallmark of every culture in Nigeria, while crimes and criminalities are exceptions.
.
The statement read, “The President believes Nweke’s behaviour, coming at a period that the country needs a positive spotlight and close-up on its real values, clearly signposts what should hold the nation together, inspired by solid foundations laid by most families, religious bodies and communities for success in life.
.
“President Buhari wishes Nweke all the best in his studies and work as a teaching assistant in same university, urging all Nigerians, home and abroad, to keep celebrating the age-old, irreplaceable attributes of honesty and decorum, and shun the microwaved, get-rich-quick tendencies that bring individual and collective shame.”

Such 'samaritans' are hard to find.

Mr Ikenna Nweke...

Ok

Bravo bro

Of course one should commend him for doing what our Politicians cannot do. From topmost top the the grassroots.

The question is when last did your politians returned stolen taxpayers money to them, from Nepa estimated bill, to oversize Lawmakers and Presidency allowance and on and on

Smtin our leaders should learn...smh he is commending him and doin d opposite

Abike Dabiri What say ya

Not neccesery. It is a form of Colonial brainwashing and thus embarrassing. Africa and the rest of the world need to stop bullying Nigerians into being extraordinarily good people. It is racist to force black people to be apologetic about existing in this world, which is what the world does by labelling Nigerians extraordinarily corrupt, thus forcing them to be gooder than everyone else. Being forced to be Gooder than everyone else is a form of control, a form of enslavement, a form of emasculation....

at a time when hushpuppi is giving the world the mixed impression that every yorubaman is a criminal. Thanks omo nna ikenna.

The president is naively reinforcing the prejudice that Nigerians are more dishonest than everyone else. He should in future resist the urge to superimpose his religious inclination in spheres of diplomacy.


Incidentally, the guy in the pic looks Ghanaian...

Irrespective of the bad image some niggars has given us, there are millions of honest, selfless and hardworking Nigerians out there. Thank you Ikenna for that honest gesture.

You've done well for yourself and for our dear country, Nigeria with this your act of honesty.
I'm proud of you bro.
