Nice one chief. God bless you always

God bless u too broda...na so e suppose be by default.

You did very well young man. You have saved yourself some disgrace and explanation when you want to go for political office in the future because your enemies will fish this particular transaction out. Also EFCC will fish you out one day due to their joblessness.

Hehe...no be lie..tnx boss

OP, you did the right thing. The fact that this is news-worthy in this part of the world says a lot about our integrity as a nation. Many of my colleagues (in N. America) are atheists/agnostics, they wouldn't even think twice before returning what's not really theirs.

you did well, nothing dey this life

Dear NLs, I believe we share information n experiences here- I have benefited from many n wud like ppl to learn from mine.

Im not writing this to gain likes, fp, or popularity. My religious brethren will call ds a testimony others may call this motivational. I jus call this my experience. Pardon my grammar, typo, opinions etc

INTRODUCTION
I did my nysc program in a medical center of an FG college of education in plateau state (FCE pankshin) as a doctor. I finished last year November with 2015 Batch B stream 2. My PPA had not paid me august n September 2016 as at feb 2017.

THE PAYMENT
I was still around there because I was doing my own thing on the low n as a hustler. I had faith dt my money wud be paid n I jus had to exercise patience (recession dey ground)
Fast foward to 1/3/17, I went to the institution to discuss with some officials and one top one told me that my financial issues had been sorted out. As a black yoruba boy, I was already' declaring'non- alcoholic drinks for some of dem at work because I was happy. When the alert finally came, I saw an excess of N180 , 000.

THE TEMPTATION
Ghen Ghen.....On getting to my room, I sat down n pondered. The voices in my head were of 2 kinds.
1. Evil voice- This voice gave me reasons not to return this money eg. I was gonna leave the state till further notice, I had been owed for too long n here is my blessing for being patient, some of the staff' shit for my church' n I cud use this for damages, nobody knows I was overpaid- and wat they dont know wont hurt them etc.

2. Righteous voice- This voice told me not to listen becos' that is not the kind of person I am' .

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I did not sleep all thru the night these 2 yeye voices chose to use my body as a battle field and guess who was winning? Evil.
I picked up my phone and started discussion with my other half (my lady). We argued for hours via phone calls and chats. And the winner again was Evil (that guy na badt guy, he will give u a thousand reasons not to do the right thing- wetin I no like be say, mr righteous no sabi argue). I finally told her I was not paying back and we ended the discussion.

JUDGEMENT DAY
The next morning I was trying to make myself happy because' I don get alert, na God win' but the battle continued and so I sat down telling myself to use my pen /paper smack down- this is how I personally weigh my actions and consequences. Lo and behold, I actually had more reasons to pay that money back eg 1. In the future this issue may be discovered and it will tarnish my reputation dt I spent nights and days of years to build.
2.180k no go make me millionare- na by hand work with brain and God's power.
3. I know that this money aint really mine.
4.Somebody else will suffer because I chose to keep it.
5. Its going to help alot of households that have less than i do.
6. Will I be able to say this to my family n my unborn kids? And alot more reasons came up.

And instantly I felt the sudden urge to return the money. I took an' express' bath and headed straight for the bursary department with mr righteous motivating and 'whyning' me :"Do quick drop this money before the story change, delay is dangerous etc

THE PAYMENT
On getting to the department and explaining to them -the provost gave me 50 k and told me to pay 130k....

I felt immediate bliss and still didnt regret paying back. Now for my mind I have bragging rights .hehe

The end.

Amen n u too.

In as much as you did the right thing... I think you shouldn't have collected the 50k, because to me it sound like the fight will continue in your heart.

Evil as you say "Oboy you see yourself, money wey you for chaw Na you carry go dash bursar, na bursar give you 50k. Chai.

Good mind "Yea never the less, whatever the bursar decided to do with the money, that one concern am.

Evil. "guy lock up jor, I think say you say 180k no reach you do anything, so while you come colobi 50k na?

Good "he didn't colobi 50k, it was given to him willingly,

Evil : "make I hear word, the 50k no be person get am? Abi e follow for him salary? Abi bursar wey dash am tell am say Na he money? For bursar to dash as that money that means them loseguard.


Anyway I rest my case...

No...everything has ended in my heart. Tnks

while i hail you for not keeping the money fro yourself, you should not have collected the 5ok, my reason is this you work for the government and before the government can dash you money there has to be due processes which i am sure was not followed in this case, you are just looking for a way to clear your heart, and secondly while you did not keep the money for reasons best known to you,or you being a good christian i hope you apply such in all accepts of your life, you may not have wanted to keep the money because you where afraid the government will come after you if it is later found out, that could have been a major reason fro you not keeping the money. but if you are honest in all parts of your life like you have never lied to your parents or anybody then you are ok and did the right but if you only chose to commit the sins that are only convenient to you then my brother sin is sin.

Ever ponder why the provost will give you a whooping 50k from 180k. When the money don't belong to him personally?

Certainly, Provost or whomever will chop that 130k.

After 6 years I think I can answer this question.

Reward of good deeds should be encouraged in our society. Under the concept of Behavioral change, motivation by rewards and punishment helps people change their ways. It also will set good example to others .

The money belongs to the FG and the school. If they choose to say "thank you" to a nysc corper with such stipend then I don't think its bad. They lose more money to theft and failed projects.

Karma is real.

COdeGenesis:
Bursar go flex the 130k

Don't say what you don't know.
