Oga calm down if this happens in real life I’ll just park the money and start something to help my life.
Trust me no one will forget such amount of money anywhere because your mind will always be with the money

Is it just that, you will also regret for returning the money. But I believe something better will come his way soon

No way! The owner of The money could have done better. The maruwa guy had no reason to stress himself, but chose to do the right thing.

He said that he saw a teller with a number on it inside the money bag so he called the number. When they met, he confirmed that it was the same man he carried.

So wait……..not to sound righteous o. But are you expecting he be rewarded by man for doing the right thing? Why are you telling us he was given #200? He should have taken the money na let's see if his karma will come from the "igbo man". I'm not saying he did wrong but……

The time he spent and energy
If he was working, one trip will give him more than 200naira, not to talk of going more than once.
It might also be the man’s business money or for some else but the man should have done better than 200— @GHOST??? (@ARIN_OLA_OLA) December 19, 2018
