A Nigerian businesswoman, Titilola Damilola, has shared a touching story about integrity after returning almost ₦2 million that was mistakenly transferred to her account.
In a post on Facebook, Titilola urged people never to take what doesn’t belong to them, noting that whatever one puts into the universe. whether good or bad, eventually comes back in folds.
Recalling one incident that stood out, Titilola narrated how she woke up one morning to find a credit alert of almost ₦2 million via Lemfi. She said she initially thought it might have been a bulk purchase from a customer, but after hours passed with no confirmation or message, she decided to investigate.
“I didn’t have a shingbain (nada) in my account and I needed to clear goods that had just arrived. I was praying for a miracle. Then I woke up to see almost ₦2 million credited to my account via Lemfi,” she wrote.
After waiting for confirmation, Titilola said one of her frequent customers reached out to inform her that her husband had mistakenly transferred the money to her account. She requested proof of payment, verified it, and refunded the full amount.
According to her, the woman insisted she keep ₦20,000 for her troubles, but she declined, saying: “Because the money wasn’t mine.”
Titilola’s honesty has since earned her praise online, with many Nigerians commending her for upholding integrity even in a tough economic climate.
