Ejikeme Benedict Ifeanyi, a Nigerian man who recently marked his 34th birthday, has appreciated a Canada-based woman, identified as Chinyere Evangeline Ofodum, for not failing to send him $100 (N137k) on his birthdays for the past three years, four years after offering help to her.
According to Benedict, the grateful woman keeps appreciating him for helping her pay her tuition deposit of CAD 10,000 (N9.8 million) in 2022 when she gained admission to study in Canada.

Ejikeme, in a Facebook post, noted that the woman had not met him or known him in person and was scared at the time, but still went ahead and sent him the naira equivalent of her tuition deposit then.
And he did not fail her. Ejikeme stated that he paid the deposit and sent her the receipt. He downplayed the gravity of his honest act, noting that he could not take someone else's money and that he had handled people's money way more than that in the past.
Ejikeme shared a screenshot dated April 4, confirming the recent birthday token she sent him.
In his words:
"For the past 3-4 years, this Lady Chinyere Evangeline Ofodum always send me $100 on every of my birthday. She keeps appreciating me because I helped her pay her tuition deposit of $10,000. She doesn't know me and hasn't seen me. She was a lil bit scared but sent me the money in 2022 to help her pay for her tuition fees deposit. I did and sent her the receipt. It's not a big deal for me cos even at gunpoint, I won't eat money that's not my own. I have handled upto $100,000 of people on this space and funny enough, I've not met them in person!
"Thank you Mummy Uduego for this consistency. My son, Ugomsinachi will marry your last daughter and we'll pay the bride price in hard currency(Anyi karịrị okwu anyị kotere). I don first book am ooo."
Canada-based woman reacts to man's claim
Reacting to Ejikeme's post, the Canada-based woman, Chinyere, confirmed his story, noting that it happened in 2022 and that Benedict was already studying in Canada at the time.
She added that she did not know Ejikeme on a personal level and has still not met him in person to date, but only as a Facebook friend.
Chinyere said she chose to test his integrity at the time, and he didn't disappoint. Her Facebook post partly read:
"In 2022, when I got admission to study in Canada and was asked to deposit $10,000 as part of my tuition deposit, I had no one and rarely trusted anyone with money.
"At the time, Ejikeme was already in Canada studying. I didn’t know him personally and have still not met him in person, only as a Facebook friend. Still, I decided to test his integrity and trusted him with my tuition deposit.
"He went out of his way to convert my Naira to $10,000 CAD and helped me pay it. A few days later, I received the receipt for my payment and my letter of acceptance from my school and proceeded with my visa application.
"Since then, we have become closer and built a solid friendship..."
