The UBA boss, Tony Elumelu, expressed his admiration for the security guard, whose behaviour offers encouragement that there are still some who value honesty.


Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago, a security guard who works at Nigeria’s top financial company, United Bank for Africa (UBA), has received recognition for returning a sum of $10,000 to the bank.
Ogbanago, who works at the bank’s branch located at Oba Akran, Ikeja, Lagos, reportedly found the money in the premises of the company.

Surprisingly, he decided to return it to the bank management.


This has earned him the attention of UBA boss, Tony Elumelu, who took to his Instagram to say nice things about him.

Elumelu wrote, “When I heard about this story, I knew I had to meet the man who despite facing rising petrol & transportation prices and “tomato ebola” returned such a huge sum of money without recourse to himself.”

“It was a pleasant surprise to hear him tell this story and about how he came to be in the board room with us. Even more surprising was hearing him speak about his passion for governance and integrity in leadership.”

“Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago is an exemplary ambassador of the UBA spirit and it was fulfilling to meet and reward him for his conduct.”

“The @UBAGroup management is proud to have this caliber of staff at all levels. Congratulations to Mohammed and keep up the good work”, he concluded. http://pulse.ng/gist/honest-man-uba-security-guard-returns-10-000-to-bank-id5220630.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=gist&utm_content=all-over18-mnf-ff&utm_campaign=cat-entertainment

OMG! in these perilous times? I can't say I would have done the same honestly but I hope that guy will be rewarded here on earth.

Some people don't recognise God's blessing when they see one. He has just ruined his chances of seeing the moon.

We are the architects of our own destiny. In the next 5 years this man may likely regret his todays' actions especially if he is still struggling by then. It will be difficult for him to explain to his children how he lost the chance to give them a better life.
