I recently came across a story on CNN that really caught my attention. It happened a while back, in 2020, but it’s still worth sharing because it makes you wonder if people like this still exist.

A man in Michigan named Howard Kirby bought a used couch for his man cave in December. He got it from a Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Owosso, Michigan. After a few weeks, he noticed that the ottoman that came with the couch was uncomfortable. Out of curiosity, his daughter-in-law unzipped the cushion to check inside—and they found a box filled with cash. It wasn’t just a little; it was $43,170!

Kirby was shocked and couldn’t believe what he had found. At first, an attorney told him he didn’t have to return the money because legally, he wasn’t obligated to. But Kirby said keeping it just didn’t feel right. So, he contacted the store to track down the person who donated the couch. It turned out the couch had belonged to a woman named Kim Fauth-Newberry. Her grandfather, Phillip Fauth, who passed away in 2019, had originally owned it.

In an incredible act of honesty, Kirby decided to return the money to Kim, even though he could have used it himself. He kept the couch but gave her every cent of the cash. Kim and her husband, Mike, were surprised and had no idea why her grandfather had hidden so much money in the cushions.

Rick Merling, the store manager, said he found Kirby’s decision very inspiring. Despite his own needs, Kirby chose to do the right thing. When asked about his decision, Kirby said he always wondered what he’d do in such a situation, and now he knows. It made him feel good to return the money.

Now, this story makes me think. If it were you, would you return the money, especially now when so many people are struggling, and Christmas is just around the corner? Would you let honesty win, or would you keep it? It’s a tough call, but stories like this remind us that some people still value doing the right thing, no matter what.

Someone hid the money

I've returned such huge sums before. A shop that sells electronics was gutted by fire last year, while people were looting in the process, I decided to open the Locker where the owner keeps money and I took out all the money in it. This money was over a million Naira and this happened at night when the shop owner had closed and was sleeping in his own house. I returned the money and he confirmed it was complete. He was happy and give me about 100k but I declined the offer due to empathy and compassion. Why would I collect money from someone who lost his properties and means of livelihood to an inferno ? My conscience would kill me. Besides I wasn't even having up to a thousand naira on me during same period.

Your type is rare, bro. I am so happy we still have someone like you, here in this country.

You tried, God reward you!

And considering this scenario of yours, everyone whose conscience is not dead should do the same.

However, this story na different case altogether. You go Oshodi buy ben-down select and found dollars inside the gwanjo bag.

In this case, I won't even think of returning it o, I won't lie. To me, it's meaningless and pointless returning it.
NB. Pls try out something for me so I can eat. Been starving since yesterday. But if u can't help, no problem. Thanks

Holy ghost fire

My conscience will never allow me touch such money. It's a curse.

Thanks for your kind words sir. God bless you.
Sir, I don't know if u would be magnanimous enough to work out something for me so I can feed. Been without food since yesterday. It's been too tough at my ends

Writing Yariimo's name as one of those that won't return the money

Very normal.
That's why okrika importers always search and ransack before displaying for sale. Some of these tokunbos from abroad always come with one or two surprises.
