I just want to draw your attention to the 3rd paragraph, please read it again.
The OP after saying his morning devotion, committed the day into God's hands so that he can be favored that day. He never knew he was gonna meet the gov. He was even praying all the while he was waiting.
It was just not meant to be at that point in time is what I believe.

hopefulLandlord:
What I mean is that how you'd think you'd do in theory might not be what you'd do if the situation really comes up. I spoke generally and not just restricted to the OP's question

for instance you'd hear someone say they'd run and tackle a shooter shooting up a school then say those that froze and didn't do anything while the shooter kept killing people are cowards. Such person calling others cowards may have frozen too if he were in that situation but sitting at the comfort if his own laptop with his heart pumping normally and his head totally clear made him think he would've been the hero

Well, perhaps just be aware of the hypocrisy of human beings in future!

AgentOfAllah:
I agree with the assessment that this question does not convey any sense because it is not self-consistent. My reasons are laid out as follows:

(1) To suggest there would be no consequence, as the second clause does, implies that the sudden remission would neither have a positive nor a negative effect. In other words, no one will suffer any harm by the remission, and at the same time, the money won't be useful to anyone in any way. This is an absurd clause that immediately makes the question of no practical relevance.

(2) Let's say we address the absurdity with the axiom that "for every event, there is a consequence". We would then be able to reframe the second clause of the question with a more appropriate predicate; that is, there would be no NEGATIVE consequence. This then exposes the paradoxical nature of the question because there still remains the problem of certainty which is imposed by the second clause. Here, it is implied that the recipient is certain that there is an absence of harm. The only pathway through which this is humanly possible is if the previous owner voluntarily ceded ownership to me, the recipient, and made me aware of this concession. In this case, the question of returning it to its "rightful owner" makes no sense because I am now the rightful owner.

I see no other way through which my certainty of the absence of harm can coexist with the idea that I am not the rightful owner, but it is also possible that I may not have been exhaustive in my reasoning. So maybe op can make further clarifications.

johnydon22:
You know it.

Which owner?

As owu dey blow me reach? Nonsense and ingredients

johnydon22:
I'm taking it.

Why?

hopefulLandlord:
In a perfect world I'd definitely send it back, inafct the mistake of sending money to your account couldn't have happened in that world

But in this imperfect world, What I'd do is return it to the rightful owner but I'd make sure its the rightful owner I'm returning it to not a criminal who would take advantage of it like if you return found money to the Nigeria police you're just making who you handed over the money to rich as he's not the rightful owner and all they'll tell you is that they would return the money to whoever reports missing money but that's the end of it

For such a big amount of money like you stated its too big for you to even run away with as its close to $2M which means you can be rest assured it would be rectified unless it was intentionally put there by a generous person who just wanted to dish you such an amount and you can always trace such to the sender if you so desire

I'd wait for a few days to see if bank would contact me or rectify it. if they don't I'd presume someone really just sent me the money, although I'd consult my lawyer to find out the legality of my possessing the money to avoid legal troubles and if I'm in the clear its mine


Note that what you think you'd do when imagining such scenario and what you'd do if such scenario comes up might actually differ from each other

tartar9:
Why direct it specifically to atheists as if the average Christian won't pocket the money without giving a second thought.

felixomor:
Insultive and arrogance.....

Abeg leave him
He is only exhibting his true nature.
The atheist real nature.

Just allow him to climb higher,
You will even see worse.

Chepos1:
Wat were d valid point?

paxonel:
that is under a circumstance that is impossible of human solution?
I get your point!

Yes! It is never foolishness to pray at this point, who knows, God may answer.

But it is still under God's prerogative right to answer or not.
That simply means if he chooses not to answer he has his reasons therefore no one can blame him.

jFrankNorfleet:
Some excuses are found in the Bible itself. Even more are just passed around in countless sermons and other elements of Christian culture. God will answer your prayers? Sure, except when he won’t because you don’t have enough faith. Or because they are not consistent with his will. Or because his perfect time hasn’t happened yet. Or because you have selfish motives for praying. Or because of countless other reasons, often made up on the spot. God will protect you from evil? Sure, except when he won’t because he wants to teach you a lesson. Or because he has different plans for you and you just don’t understand them. God will heal the sick, feed the hungry, save the lost? Sure, except when he won’t. The fine print keeps accumulating, up to the point when you are not really sure what to expect anymore.

Perhaps I could have kept up with the excuses for much longer, if they weren’t so poorly and inconsistently defined. I could have understood that God doesn’t want to answer prayers which are inconsistent with his will, if there was any simple way to know what his will is and what it isn’t – but there is none. You are supposed to “let the Spirit guide you”, study the Bible and learn to listen to the voice of Jesus on your heart, but you never know for sure if you heard it right or read the Bible right. The same for every other excuse – how are you supposed to know whether you have “enough” faith or not? How are you supposed to know if your motives are pure enough? You are left with constant guessing, expecting less and less from God until your faith is reduced to some intellectual conviction with no discernible bearing on reality. This wasn’t what I signed up for.

Hey! Let me repeat it for the Upton time, ONLY A COWARD TAKE THEIR OWN LIFE!

Bro, it doesn't solve anything. It breeds more pain for those left behind.

The best is to look for help from the right ones...work on your mental strength and find solace in something, ur friend or family, music, activities, mosque or church fate. Never isolate your self...that is the first damage depression does. Have it at the back of your mind that the worst has happened and you MUST conquer the worst because it is just a 'test' of who you are.

I have seen people suffered a quantum losses,damage and they pulled through to be a fighter.

Every phase of life is just like a story book, the ups and downs are what makes your story worth reading.

Never end your story by yourself.

IbnAbdullah1:
My friend,you may as well go and die and think your creation came about by some random self-assembly.
I don't care.
Some of you who blame religion also subtly start a religion of worshipping the self by following the intellect when it as being proven that there are many things humans are yet to disvove about this life yet some of you with over bloated intellect think you monkey point of view can't go beyond the reality you thinkyou understand.
To show how intellectually handicapped you are you left out a huge chunk of what I said that placed my point not far from reality without leaving out external influence from God.
I hope all your life everything you've planned each day came out exactly the way you wanted it,if you say that is how it happened then I will conclude I am talking with biggest liar alive.
You can NEVER leave out God's influence on this life no matter how you live in deny.
Even your replying my message was not part you plan today,but was a result of what God decreed which you would never guess a thousand years from now.
In a nutshell,what I believe as a muslim is pure and simple which is "tie you camel and rely on God " which in reality means: do you part and leave the rest to God.
Shekinan!

Boomboost:
You can be good and still able to detect pretenders. Being able to read people is a skill that should be learnt.

Boomboost:
They have a pattern and your instincts detect them. They have an envious aura, seem like good company, can smile well, get easily vexed and they aim to revenge.

They're mostly negative and their facial expressions are always unstable and quick to change.

I have colleagues, acquaintances and for now, only one friend who's annoying some times, but so unselfish and genuinely concerned about my welfare.

IbnAbdullah1:
Sometimes most youth think.life is all about making enough money befire settling down.
Believe me,if what you are husltling for is enough o feed you you can marry.
I believe God is the one who gives not what we humanssee as enough.
But has God promised you that at soand so age the money you make wlill be enough?
It is better to start small with a lady you trust and who is contented an the one who will encourage you not those eye-lashes wearing, selfie addicts who can't see life beyond material things.
Ultimately you can choose your life the way you want it.

Luxuryconsult:
one thing you don't know is, once you bring a child to this world, you will surely take care of him/her and you won't be alone in doing that. Except you don't just want to. No matter how poor a person is, that very day something gets to challenge him/her, his story start to become better that very same day. I remember back then in my high school days, i have this friend, he was one f**ker and one unserious student, he mistakenly impregnated a lady just about 6 months after high school and all he wanted was to commit suicide that year. Buh he started doing things (jobs) he wouldn't have done, we all depend on our parents, buh he started taking himself off our circle, he started earning while we all wait on our parents before we do this and that. Long story short, now my guy has a mansion, car and a better life now while the rest of us are still hustling upandan. Anytime i see him and his boy on facebook, i can't buh JE-LUX.

Mekanus:
Rubbish, the most wicked thing anybody can do on earth is to give birth to children they can't take care of. How can you advice someone who finds it difficult to cater for him/herself to start bringing children that will suffer? If you know you're not financially stable I don't see reason why you should even think about marriage.

Damilare65:
this is kinda awkward. advising young guys to marry when they have little money ,

I personally, can't marry or even give birth when im still hustling, I want to give the best to my kids. I want them to enjoy me., cos my parents left me at an early age, I lost my mom when I was 5 andy dad died last year . and I'm still in school.I want my kids to enjoy me abeg, I want them to be able to go to school and brag to their friends about my money , wear the best clothes, go to the best schools. I owe them that at least.

p.s, I'm not necessarily saying that I should be very rich before giving birth oo,

I just want to stand well for my family
