A Las Vegas taxi driver has proved to be the Good Samaritan of the season after returning a bag full of cash found on his back seat.

Gerardo Gamboa thought someone had left a paper bag full of chocolates in his cab, but it turned out to be $300,000 (£184,000) in cold, hard cash.

The taxi driver was making a pick-up on Monday at the Bellagio hotel when a hotel doorman noticed the brown paper bag and handed it to him, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

He checked the bag while at a traffic light and found six bundles of $100 bills.


Mr Gamboa received a cheque from his company as a reward
"Oh my God, this is cash money," was his immediate reaction to the find.

He called his supervisor and took the money to the company's main office.

Las Vegas police and casino officials were able to link the money to a well-known poker player whose identity remains secret.

The cabbie said he had not spoken to the passenger during the journey.

When asked if he had considered keeping the cash, he said: "Oh no, no, not even, not even one second, no."


His bosses praised him for 13 years of loyal, trouble-free service
It is unknown whether he will receive a reward from the poker player, but the cab company has awarded him $1,000 for his honesty.

Singing Mr Gamboa's praises, Bill Shranko of Yellow Checker Star Transportation said, "This guy is just terrific. Not one problem with him in the whole 13 years."

The taxi driver himself said he was satisfied with his decision to turn the money in.

"I did the right thing for myself, for my family, for my company and the city of Las Vegas," he said.

From what I understand about applying for MSC program in most schools you need to have a supervisor first. How can someone go about getting a supervisor from the school you intend goin....please help

Indifferent: Nneka who ??

stop advertising your ignorance.

Actually thought Tinnie's song with Wiz Khalifa was his most popular

House is it mandatory that your sponsors sop be above 6M? Even if the tuition of the school u got admission from is 12000$? Thanks

from what I have been reading seems the canadian school and visa application is more stressful than that of the united states. and i KIND OF FEEL DISCOURAGED.

if the school tuition you intend applying for is about 10K must your sponsors account still have up to 6Million?

i dont have work experience since I am unemployed but I have been doing alot of training in line with my course,will that help?

I will like to know the full process of admission and visa application process

help from anyone in the house will be very helpful

House please I have a question about money that's supposed to be in your sponsors account.

The monies for the tuition how long is it supposed to be in your sponsors account and how many months statement of account should be printed? Can I print only one months statement?
A friend of mine is telling me that it is mandatory that the funds in the account be deposited for at least 6 months. How true is that please?

Been trying to search for some schools now and the least tuition I could get is 26500 this includes tuition and housing for one year.

My question is,is this the lowest I can get? Are there cheaper ones?

Hello everyone,am a newbie on this thread and I have been reading this thread for 3 days now and I must commend the way you look out for one anoda kinda different from other threads on NL.

I am about applying for schools in the states and I have a couple of questions

I'd appreciate a list of schools with low tuition. (intend to study computer/information systems security)

Is it true that someone can pay his/her tuition installmentally?

Regarding the sponsor,is it mandatory that the money in the account be more than the entire school fees?

What are the chances of working part time to pay bills when admitted?

I'd appreciate answers from anyone willing to help

I wonder what the think of the masses that we are bunch of idiots! I just can't understand why a senator of a third world country should earn more than a senator from a developed country,it just beats me. Is like you telling me that a bricklayer that builds a mud house for someone in the village should earn more than a bricklayer that builds a duplex for someone in Banana island does it scan??at all?? and the minister of finance keeps telling us we are broke!!! . I just wish u could do somethings I have in mind this country for don well but who in the right position will bell the cat?

First thing first, does our Nigerian police or FRSC have patrol cars that have computers installed in their cars to check a specific car details when its pulled over?Or they will change those rickety hilux I always see them with?

when you attach on someones name to the plate number and not the car one can use 1 plate number for two cars and the auto thieves are gonna have a field day with stealing cars and replacing the numbers with theirs at that very moment the car is theirs.

One thing we like doing in Nigerian is long jump,we did it in telecommunication by jumping over landlines to mobile phones thats why most organisations dont use landlines but mobile number,we dont even have a phone directory anymore where you can even look up a number talkless of calling a phone operator to connect you to a certain number or area code.

Lets see how it will pan out because once Sept 30 comes you wont even see the new plate number to buy and the amount to get it will skyrocket so also the DL stuff. God help this country

I must admit his answers to the questions were all spot on, Nice one Ameachi. unlike GEJ and obj I can recall a BBC Radio programme ''focus on Africa'' when the then Nigerian president OBJ was been interviewed someone for Togo called in and asked if Nigeria was an English speaking country because of the English OBJ was speaking ,for once am proud

turning to BBC now Governor Ameachi is on HARDTALK.

Nice one from Sunday Oliseh, it is always nice to hear him analyze football with those supersports anchormen with a very good command of english unlike Ikpeba that pronounce Shellsee (Chelsea) and Amokachi that always say ''that is a beaurifull (beautiful) goal by a beaurifull(beautiful) striker''

still available,place your order

very bad sales man,ignoring potential customers,happy sales btw

if you dont have sponsors dont just border to apply,sponsors i mean a senator,general of the Nigeria army or very important politician. Been there,done that this is where high level connection comes into play

these kidnappers get mind o,dem no de fear Israeli mossad?

Same ol story till date i dont have my permanent voters card the site looks weak,if like 50K people logon now the site it will definitely wont be able to cope with the traffick,wondering how much they budgeted for setting up this crappy website nonsense!!!
