Aba Tricycle Driver Returns ₦4 Million to Passenger, Earns Praise for Honesty

Onye Photo, a tricycle driver and Jehovah’s Witness from Umuomei, Obingwa Local Government Area, has been hailed as a hero for his remarkable act of honesty. On Thursday morning, June 26, 2025, Onyema returned ₦4 million left behind by a female passenger in his tricycle, known locally as a "keke."

According to Onye, the passenger, a Cameroonian woman, boarded his keke from Aba Main Park to Ariaria Market. After she alighted, she forgot a bag containing the large sum of money. Realizing the situation, Onyema searched for her at the park but could not find her. Determined to reunite her with her money, he returned to Ariaria Market, where he found the woman at a junction, distraught and in tears, contemplating suicide.

Onye promptly returned the ₦4 million to her, calmed her down, and advised her to spend the night in a hotel to recover before continuing her journey. The grateful passenger paid for the hotel stay as a gesture of appreciation.

Despite being mocked by some fellow keke drivers who called him a "mugu" (fool) for not keeping the money, Onyema expressed pride in his actions, emphasizing his faith and integrity as a Jehovah’s Witness. "I love what I did," he said. "I need a new keke, but not another woman’s money."

Onye, who hails from a humble background in Obingwa, attributed his actions to his devotion to Jehovah, stating, "I have made your name to be praised." His selfless act has sparked admiration across Aba, shining a light on the power of honesty and compassion.

Jehovah Witness and Deeper Life members are the most disciplined Christians I know.

It pays to be honest. He should be rest assured that the 144,000 Jehovah's witnesses that will go to heaven, he will be among them.

Congratulations to him

Is that their belief, that it is only 440, 000 of JW that will go to heaven?

This is easy to do when truly following the 10 Commandments of the Original Torah:

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.

2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image — no idols or images to worship.

3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother.

6. You shall not murder.

7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. You shall not covet — do not desire your neighbor's house, spouse, or possessions.

But why do some people carry bulk money when going to purchase goods?

yes o! He's gotten a heavenly slot for himself. All thanks to JW
It takes a strong guts to return 4 million naira back to the owner especially the way he saw the money. He could have easily ghosted the money and nothing will happen.

It is really encouraging to find that there are some honest citizens not blinded by the love of money. A good name is better than corrupt riches. Stolen water don't taste sweet.

those Camerounians don't have nigerian bank account they always came to aba with foreign currency and change it to naira in cash

We still have good people with conscience, God bless him.

Bros should be given 10% of the money for his honesty.

I dont know but what is wrong with carrying bulk money when going to purchase goods?

That’s one of those things we are being taught as servants of Jehovah.

Don't say Jehovah witness, just say a Nigerian! The fact that JW did that doesn't mean that other Nigerians or religions doesn't do same

We've seen other Nigerians from all angles, North, South, West and East return monies forgotten by others! All the religions in Nigeria have returned monies USD, Naira and other Valuables worth millions of Naira.

It's all about the Nigerian Culture and values not religion. If it was religion then other religions won't be returning monies forgotten or found

And all this claims specifically that (a particular sect) in a religion!!!
It's suspicious arrangement to get online fame.

COMRADES, I think the caption should be 'a good Nigerian citizen returns 4m to a Cameroonian in Aba'
Is there any religion in Nigeria that there are not good members?

He is a good person.

People like this are very rare to find.

May God bless him.

That guy will regret it later in 2 months when hunger wire him

Too many Hausa/Fulani people dey do am too.

I remember one guy, may Allah bless him, I transferred N500 recharge card to him by mistake misplacing one number.

And he bought a recharge pin and sent it back later.

Honest people do exist.

He really did well by giving her back her money, the woman so relieved.

The woman should give him 10 percent as a reward its not easy

A reasonable human should do that.

If you need religion to act well, then you are a hypocrite and only being good because you are afraid of God big eyes watching you

Sonnobax15,we still have honest people In yo union.
