A few days ago, the story of a lady named Josephine Agwu, a Lagos airport toilet cleaner who found $27,000(around N12m) in a briefcase and returned it to the owner at the airport , circulated massively in the social media and was even a big story on the cover of top Nigerian newspapers including The Nigerian Tribune and popular evening tabloid, PM News.

The story was being peddled with the above photo and everyone hailed her for such a noble act, unfortunately the lady in the photo is not in anyway an airport cleaner but a high-profile HR executive with Smooth Promotions, owners of the popular music channel Hip-TV, Hiphop World Magazine and Hip-hop World Awards. See another photo of her below at the office.

We gathered that some bloggers and journalists just went on Facebook to search for Josephine Agwu and picked up her photo,without verifying if she was the real 'Josephine Agwu' being rumoured on Twitter to have returned the large sums of money.

Infact, no one has been able to confirm up till this moment that any cleaner returned a lost briefcase of money at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport where the incident reportedly happened.

The Josephine Agwu in the photo being paraded as a cleaner at the airport is a certified associate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM), with 11 years working experience as a HR practitioner, and graduated with Second Class Upper Division in Agricultural Economics and Extension from the Federal University of Technology, FUTO in Imo State.

She currently holds the position of a senior manager in charge of Human Resources at Smooth Promotions in Ikeja, Lagos.

It was even gathered that as a result of the story, which trended on social media and was even retweeted by some popular people including the former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili and Ovation Publisher, Dele Momodu, the US Embassy in Lagos has reached out to Josephine Agwu to come for an award, which she declined.

The lady we gathered is greatly annoyed and embarrassed over this report by the media as her phone lines and emails have been buzzing with calls and messages from her friends, relatives and associates around the world congratulating her but baffled how she ended up becoming a cleaner at an airport despite her education and background.

If information is anything to go by, Josephine may be pressing some charges soon against these top media houses.

As at the time of writing this, the story is still trending on blogs. The CEO of Smooth Promotions, Ayo Animashaun tried to warned everyone with a tweet you'll find below, but most people didn't pay attention and only two people retweeted Ayo's warning.

Even if u kill ur mom today, it won't change anything. The curse is like a scar on u, u can't erase it. Oloshious bastard!

omo17:

castrokins:
Now, Here's The Problem With Nigeria. The Americans Ignored Her Religion And Here You're, Chanting Islam.

XBLadez:
You know, animals like u should always be caged so they don't mistake u for a normal being. Ur mom's abortion pill failed, otherwise u'd be as dead as ur boko haram members by now. Sonofabitch!

emeka2847:

XBLadez:
If you mention my parents again u won't like yourself this morning

afrokarma:
I knew this was coming, every positive story on nairaland becomes partisan either religious or tribal. I'm expecting proudly Hausa very soon.
You're just going to reinforce American suspicion and reservations about the poor girl as she's muslim. Do you think the Americans will eventually put her in a sensitive position in the future being "proudly Islam" as you put it.
To most Americans "proudly Islam" translates to "proudly extremist" so please let's leave this out and just celebrate the girl.

And this will hurt Buhari and his Boko haram kinsmen a great deal! They don't like education, and here a foreigner is recognising one of their own.
Shame on APC!

OREMUSSANCTUS:

Ogbenni, shez just fortunate she schooled abroad(USA) where sharia suckz. Islam shld be doing better dan dis, buh many grl child her being defiled by old fools all in d name of islam. Islam suckz

eaglechild:
Hmm do they have ties with ISIS.

I think US should also impose sanctions on Buhari.

Meanwhile just to provide a little information on Hezbollah before APC zombies will twist the tale.

Hezbollah is a Shi'a Islamist militant group and political party based in Lebanon. Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council.
The United States, the Gulf Cooperation Council, Canada,and Israel classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. The European Union and New Zealand has proscribed Hezbollah's military wing, but does not list Hezbollah as a whole as a terrorist organization.

Nigeria does not see Hezbollah as a whole as a terrorist organization just like the EU.


Recall that it was only recently that the US classified Boko Haram as a terrorist group.

twoondei:
joker! U better arrange well. By the way, what's the correlation between ur post and the topix of discourse

twoondei:
Same heads, different names. I hope we wake up to see the banner tomorrow morning. Lord, let this period just pass!

taharqa:
So??

So many of you chaps do not know what politics really is.

One of the Oba of Benin sons was a member of Oshiomohle's Govts, yet the Oba and his Ediakhen are some of the most ardent supporters of GEJ.

and by the way, this is Ogbomosho and Oyo we are talking about. Here, politics is very local. And all d men that matters support GEJ

Bayswater:
Ogbomoso people are one-way street and very rebellious. Soun is quite unpopular that if Soun goes North, his people will go South.

THEY SHOULD GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS .... Love maketh not stupid




Or they can play Baba ijebu with their kids' destiny, and pray that they are lucky enough to give birth to only AS kids....


For better advise, They should seek out a sickle-cell kid's parents and hear their morbid testimonies and eternal regrets
