“It should have been 5 million if it was an error. Sending 3 million is wild to me as the amount to be repaid is #500. Makes more sense that way.”

“I really like you for being honest. God bless you.”
@DrJohnBishop said:
“It is refreshing to see that honesty like this still exists in Naija. Some people would have emptied their account, switch off their phone or even change address sef.”
