IgbereTV reports that an Enugu housewife, Mrs Josephine Nchetaka Chukwujama Eze, has caused gotten the attention of many Nigerians on social media after she returned approximately N14 million wrongly paid into her account.

While she is being praised for her honesty, the mother of three has been declared a heroine by her husband, Mr. Chukwujama Eze, a journalist-turned lawyer.

In a piece made available to IgbereTV, Eze captured what happened and showered praises on his wife.

He wrote:

“My dear friends, sometimes in life, little things matter as much, if not more, as big things. And, if we don’t appreciate innocuous gestures that are considered little, even big ones will pass us unnoticed."

“Today is not my wife’s birthday. No, her birthday coincides with the anniversary of the end of the Nigeria Civil War on January 12 of every year. But she’s done a little thing that has impacted my life and given me good cause, as usual, to toast her in public. Don’t get jealous. Tell me, which husband of a credible and God-fearing wife will not celebrate her strong character even from a roof top? Sincerely, I admire her daily in the privacy of my heart and comfort of our home, but this time, I’m minded to share my feelings with my family and friends. Where is the fire of this smoke? Please, I’ll return to my heroine anon. But let me first set the background."

“Nigeria is not only politically, but economically and morally bankrupt. This is why rogue governance, bribery, corruption, internet fraud and sundry crimes are today the new normal in our beleaguered fatherland. This appalling level of national decadence is easily blamed on poverty, unemployment and general economic hardship. But truth is, we live in denial and do not accept responsibility for our individual contributions to the national malaise. Crime and corruption are actually propelled by personal greed, and shall forever remain reprehensible and, therefore, punishable."

“Why is it that Nigerians who are not criminally minded do not succumb to crimes, no matter the circumstances and temptation?"

“Under Nigeria’s present prevalence of fraud, both off and online, there are still honest country men and women. And, fortunately, they abound in their intimidating numbers across tribes, religion and geography. Now, back to the story of my heroine!"

“In my emotional reckoning, my wife has creditably discharged and acquitted herself not only as a worthy companion of high credibility, but an honest Nigerian worthy of emulation. Why? This mother of my three children received a credit alert of almost N14 million from an unknown source and exhibited what will make me eternally proud of her integrity. What happened? At exactly 4.50pm on Monday August 3, 2020, my own jewel of inestimable value was in her friend’s hair salon where a substantial percentage of my wealth stream regularly flows. Suddenly, her mobile phone beeped an alert."

“At first”, she later recalled, “I didn’t check my phone as I dismissed it as one of those unsolicited messages with which network providers inundate hapless Nigerian subscribers.”

"After some time, she casually scrolled through her phone and what she saw was eye-popping. Behold, it was an online transfer of, wait a minute, N13,946,400 from Sankiya Global Investment Ltd."

“What? Sankiya who? Nearly N14 million! For what purpose? She couldn’t believe her eyes. ‘I’ll call my husband immediately,’ she told herself. And she promptly did. Of course, my wife was not surprised that her husband’s answer accorded with her already waiting thoughts. After all, birds of the same feather flock together."

“You don’t know Sankiya, and you have no transaction with the company,’ her husband reasoned with her over the phone. ‘So, we’ll return the strange money to your bank tomorrow.’ Her reply? ‘We would have done so today if it were within banking hours.’ A consensus ad idem (meeting of minds) between husband and wife was complete. And so it came to pass that in the morning of the following day, off we set out to the Zik Avenue."

Prominent Nigerians, such as a President Buhari's Aide on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie praised Mrs Nchetaka for her honesty.

Lauretta Onochie tweeted:

She has done well however, I am not so sure we should continue celebrating this act since honesty should be a watchword for every individual.

She couldn't have gone away with it.

If money in that range don't flow through her acc previously, the system will raise flag upon receipt and her account will be frozen until she provides valid explanation.

However, I'm not ruling out the possibility of conniving with bankers and get it withdrawn.

It was way useless, she can't spend the money, the bank will come after, because they will realise the mistake soon or later

It can only happen in Enugu. State with the most sincere people in Nigeria.

Sometimes I wonder the ethics with with which they train Enugu people.

Honesty, Sincerity and Integrity is their hallmark.

Nice one. Honesty is key.

Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any man

A good name is better than riches.

For those who think Igbos love money, hope you can get your perception right now?

Integrity is highly individualistic and has nothing to do with tribe.

Thanks to her... More blessings are coming her way.

Good woman no dey easy to find atall

One thing we need in this country is honesty. Mind you, I'm a preacher... We all have acts closed in our closets.

In sane vein, she returned the money while her husband went online to shower her praises. The husband was a journalist turned lawyer.

She has no choice but to report the incident.

The fear of EFCC is the beginning of returning back the money.

Money that you cannot spend with peace of mind. Is that one money?

Good for her.. Who can tag that moniker who use one kind-hearted Zimbabwean to backlash Nigerians in general..? That guy need to come and kneel down here loolzz.

-Zimbabweans that are well known street gangsters in South Africa, who have caused many attrocities disguised and paraded themselves as Nigerians that resulted to xenophobic attack on Nigerians. They know many South Africans hate Nigerians out of envy, reason they manipulate their identity against Nigerians in southy...

In regards to good and bad, every country has it both. So, we still have good people in Nigeria.. This news sweet me wella..

Onye Oshi..
