“In This Economy?” – Reactions as Abia Tricycle Rider Returns Forgotten ₦4 Million to Passenger

In a rare display of honesty that has melted hearts across the country, a tricycle rider in Abia State has gone viral after returning a whopping ₦4 million forgotten by a passenger in his Keke Napep.

According to reports obtained by NewsVista, the incident occurred on Thursday, June 26, in Aba. A Cameroonian woman who boarded the tricycle from Aba Main Park to the Ariaria area reportedly left behind a bag stuffed with ₦4 million in cash. The rider, later identified as Lucky Okoro, discovered the bag after dropping her off—and chose to do what many have called “the unthinkable.”

In a now-viral video shared online, the emotional passenger is seen raining blessings on Lucky, clutching the cash as a crowd gathered around them. Witnesses can be heard praising the rider for what they described as “unmatched integrity” in a time of economic hardship.

Taking to social media, Lucky shared the experience himself, giving glory to God for helping him do what he called “the right thing.” His quiet humility has only added to the wave of admiration flooding his way.

As the video continues to trend, Nigerians across platforms have been reacting with a mix of awe, disbelief, and brutal honesty.

One user, @Ab_PrimeDeals, shared a similar experience, saying: “I’ve returned ₦500k mistakenly sent by a client. She didn’t even realize until I called her. Some of us still value integrity.”

Another, @OkoyeDavid, wrote: “Omo this guy is a very good guy. In this hardship and poverty… chai, this guy is 1 in a billion. God bless him.”

Not everyone was convinced they could do the same. A user named Eze David tweeted: “Omo no be say I never see ₦4 million, but truth be told, if na me, I no sure say I go return that money o. Abi na scripted?”

Others saw it as a beacon of hope in a nation where distrust often overshadows honesty. “Great to see the good ones are still among us. It’s not easy to do this in today’s Nigeria,” Emeke posted.

The video has not only touched thousands but also reignited conversations about honesty, poverty, and how rare it is to witness such acts in a struggling economy.

As for Lucky Okoro, he has quietly returned to work—still riding the same Keke, but now seen by many as a true embodiment of integrity in a time when doing the right thing is often the hardest choice to make.
