Man Mistakenly Sends Woman N500k instead of N50k, Tells Her to Keep it: "You Serve a Living God"

• A Nigerian philanthropist has told an Onitsha-based woman not to refund the N500k he mistakenly sent her
• The man, a Facebook influencer, wanted to send the woman N50k when he erroneously pressed N500k
• The unexpected financial gift has sent social media into a frenzy, with many attributing it to "grace"

A Nigerian broadcaster and philanthropist, Emmanuel Onyeka Okoh, popularly known as Okwuluora Ndi Igbo, melted hearts after he gifted a perfume vendor, Tonia Vivian, N500k he had sent by mistake.

Okwuluora posted a screenshot of the N500k transaction on Facebook and said he wanted to send the woman N50k, but mistakenly added another zero.

Okwuluora urged the lucky woman to use the money and take care of her children, adding that she serves a living God. His Facebook post read:

"Tonia Vivian I wanted to send you N50,000 but sent you N500,000 mistakenly. Use it & take care of your kids. You serve a living God."

Many people were blown away by the gesture and celebrated the man. Others attributed the lady's luck to grace.

Man mistakenly sends N57k to driver

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had shared his experience after mistakenly sending N57k to a taxi driver.

The man said he sent a text message to the driver, requesting a refund, but didn't hear from the driver until the next day. The driver finally reached out to him and explained that his phone was down, and that was why he was not reachable.

"I took an Indrive yesterday. Fair was N5700, but I mistakenly transferred N57k. I realized 3 hours later and texted the driver about the error, and asked him to send me N50k. There was no response. This morning, he called me that he just saw the message because his phone was dead and promised to send it..." a part of his story read.
