In a world where integrity often goes unnoticed, Victoria Ebiere Ogunremi, a Nigerian woman living in New Jersey, has become a shining example of honesty and selflessness. Victoria’s heartwarming act of returning $5,700 cash she discovered in her workplace restroom has earned her admiration far and wide. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The story unfolded when Victoria, who is of American descent, stumbled upon the money. Instead of succumbing to temptation, she was immediately driven by concern for the person who had lost it. In her words: “The thought of the pain or trauma it could cause inspired me. I did not hesitate to return it because of my Christian faith and beliefs. Honesty brings peace of mind, and it is a key virtue I cherish.”

Rather than alerting management first, Victoria went the extra mile to personally track down the rightful owner. Her efforts paid off, earning her heartfelt gratitude from the individual who misplaced the money and commendation from her employer and colleagues.

“The management was very pleased and proud of me. The owner was incredibly grateful and showered me with praise,” Victoria shared with a humble smile.

Her story has since gone viral, with many lauding her as a role model for integrity and kindness in today’s fast-paced, self-centered world.

Victoria’s remarkable deed reminds us that honesty truly is the best policy—and that small acts of kindness can create ripples of inspiration.

Do you want me to educate you what honesty is all about ?

You see that INEC woman in Abia State that rejected billions of naira bribe from PDP to rig the governorship election in their favour against the Labour Party Alex Otti, that's what honesty is all about.

They are not talking about the Ábíá woman. The one being talked about with honesty is a Yoruba woman.

Good people still exist everywhere. Although the lost money could possibly be traced easily due to presence of cameras everywhere, so taking it may not easily go unnoticed. Nevertheless, the woman did well.

It is good to be honest but you see in this country where it is a survival of the fittest, everyone is just trying to outsmart each other.
