‎Man Shares Encounter
‎In the now-viral tweet, @Ekun II disclosed that as he was about to insert his card into the ATM, he saw $100 hanging from the cash dispenser.

‎Subsequently, he pulled it out and withdrew his money, although he had mixed thoughts about what to do with the $100 he saw at the cash dispenser.

‎Eventually, he walked into the bank to return the money.

‎Read tweet below…..

‎Something just happened. I drove to the drive-through ATM to get cash. As I was about to insert my card, I saw a $100 bill hanging from the cash dispenser. I pulled it out, got my own cash, then temptation hit: just take the money and go. Banks have plenty money.

‎Another thought came: So because of just $100, you want to destroy the good life God has given you?I went back inside the bank and returned the money.In all my life in the United States, you can never be too careful.

‎Letter Mike inquired, “So in essence you actually wanted to keep the money but you were afraid that one cctv somewhere is watching you”.

‎Oluwaseun remarked, “Seyi, make I no catch you for this thing wey you do”.

‎Mazi asserted, “This shows that you would have taken the money if not that you know you’d be caught and you would serve severe consequences. Simply explains why Nigerians behave differently at home and abroad”.

Nostalemate:
Though his real sincerity is still tainted if he can do an in-mind.

I do not understand. How is his sincerity tainted? And what do you mean by "in-mind"?

@budaatum bots keep deleting my mentions directed to you....Howbeit check the word In-Mind online.

As for your second question lichess.org is a place to bond and so send a challenge my username there is same with my moniker.

I think this person consciously considered, as in, thought about the long term, by having it in their mind so it is kept there and worked on so a most profitable decision was made.

Think of him as not preferring one marshmallow.

"In mind" means having a thought, idea, plan, or person currently in your consciousness or consideration. It is often used in phrases like "to have something in mind" (a plan/intention), "to bear/keep in mind" (remembering something), or "with someone in mind" (considering someone).

Acknowledged....you quite interpret without bias of mind....you do a lot of mindshift right?

budaatum:
I'm Orunmila. Don't play there much though. I think I'm used to the simplicity here.

You play correspondence? What times?

Quite an interesting choice of username...I'll send a challenge with my personal account there.

God save you from deportation

Assuming u take it home!!

I'd return it of course. They have cameras pointing directly at your face and it could be a sting.
$100 is not worth the risk. $100K, maybe

They ll track him down..there is camera everywhere

One person there is saying because CCTV was watching him, he returned it....

Who wouldn't be tempted at first?

Mr. Holier-than-thou!!!

This is very commendable. Thank you for representing us well. Cheers bro.

Everything now will come to the internet

Why mention God?

Na the fear of finding yourself at Murtala Mohammed Airport by the following day grip you.

Thank your star for escaping the trap of your village people.

Everything now will come to the internet

Including person wey argue with Okada rider over N50 change.

For Ordinary $100...
That's the GREED in the average zooish person. This is a country that can trace you to your bedroom on any serious day.

Funny enough nobody will discover the lose change.
The money don already dispense or error dispensing.
If I may ask, what if no camera at all , will he have returned the cash ?
Hypocrite.

And this is news?
Can you imagine...

It is a duty of govt to make it easier for citizens to do right thing and maker it harder to do evil.

That was exactly what played out here
CCTV is everywhere; everyone becomes saint

The camera of course will catched him, but they will not arrest him. It is $100, the worst they will do is to debit his account or send him an email/mail for him to return it. $100 is too small for institution to round after you in the United states. They will consider the cost of pursuing you to recover $100. Few years back, the golden lock on my car was cut out of the car, I called to report, I was told no police is coming out to investigate if the cost is under $1000.
It is good to return it because of one intergrity.

It happened to me in the past. I got to the ATM then I saw $60 already dispensed. I took it then withdrew mine. It’s over 7yrs now and nothing happened. If I see it again I will take it and nothing will happen.

Na so
Hypocrites Nigerians.. because he knows CCTV is there and won't want anything to jeopardize his stay in the US.. be abiding by rules when in the overseas

But in Nigeria bẹ showing thiefing acts as the laws here are not working

Abeg move joor

The money had been dispensed. He can leave the money there and insert his card and make withdrawal and take it alongside the money he withdrew.
The issue is not even camera. He went there and made a valid withdrawal. The issue is that ATMs have camera and when replayed will show there's $100 there when he made his and that he took it along. Chances are that the missing money may not even be discovered.
And everything is not fear. There was a time I went to first Bank Central area Abuja for a transaction and on my way out, I say a phone on the floor, a powerful phone and picture of one hajia on the face. I didn't trust to give anyone, so I took it to make sure I give it to the owner. On my way to the office, the woman called and started crying, I asked not to, she then gave the phone to a man. I asked them to come to a public place nearby. And they came and I gave the man back the phone because the woman refused to cross road. That's how they started thanking me "you are a good man". I had no fear of camera or anything but just determination to give back the phone to owner. Because I knew how pained I felt when a powerful phone I bought at Hong Kong airport when coming back from Seoul disappeared in a public secured place in Abuja. They played all cctv but couldn't catch the thief.
So atimes people just do things with good conscience

God bless you, bro,as you have done the rightful thing.👍
That is the Nigerian Spirit of Patriotism - Not today Gen Z.
A Good Christian and those who they brought up well with -good Home Training will behave just like that.
Kudos To You!
