Most Faithful Nigerian: Returned N9.3 Billion found in His Bank Account

[freeware]

WHEN Durojaiye Adeyemi Job inserted his Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card into a machine at the First Bank branch of Ibadan Polytechnic, Ibadan, he wanted to withdraw just N2,000.00 and leave a balance of N1,000.00.

By his own calculations, he had only N3,000.00 credit balance in the account.

He was, therefore, understandably confused when after collecting the N2,000.00, he glanced at the   transaction slip and saw he had a mind-boggling credit of N9.3 billion.

Job, a campus fellowship member of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries and a part-three student of Ibadan Polytechnic, did not have a second thought as to what to do.

On the next available opportunity, he reported the matter to First Bank that so much money had been paid into his account in error.

Honour and recognition on Saturday came Job's way when the General Overseer, Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, presented the young man with a car and an undisclosed sum of money.

The General Overseer also assured him of a job immediately he completed his course.

Narrating the story, Job said he was on his way home from school on Friday on August 13, when he decided to withdraw N2,000.00 through his ATM card from his account.

"I had N3,000.00 in my account and I decided to withdraw N2,000 out of it for the weekend.
"After withdrawing the money, the receipt printed a whooping balance of N9.3 billion.

"I was shocked and decided to withdraw more than what I knew was in my account to see whether what I was seeing was real.

" I inserted the card again and punched N20,000.00 and the ATM machine brought out the money and printed a receipt of the balance of N9.3 billion.

"I then decided to go back to the hostel and keep the money to avoid the temptation of spending it since it was late on Friday and the bank would not open till Monday.

"The following week, I rushed to the bank and narrated my experience to the bank manager. She was shocked and said it must have been a mistake from the bank headquarters in Lagos.

"She asked me what I wanted to do. I told her that I would return the money, saying: "It does not belong to me". She gave me a teller, which I filled and paid back the N20,000 into my account.

"The N9.3 billion was later moved from my account without any record of such transaction left in my account.

Job said he was surprised that the bank had not contacted him since after he refunded the money.
Commending 30-year-old Job, Dr. Olukoya said he has not only demonstrated what the Bible dictates, but has also lived up to what the ministry stands for in terms of honesty and integrity.

The cleric said Job was the type of Nigerian that should be rewarded to encourage others.
Said he: "The ministry did not reward Job because he is a member of the church but for his ability to overcome such a big temptation.

" This is the type of virtue that can move the society forward, bearing in mind that Job did not come from a very wealthy family but has demonstrated that the God, he serves, is a rich father."
Olukoya called on Nigerians to eschew the inordinate crave to amass wealth at all costs and to imbibe the spirit of contentment, instead.

Honour, reward for honest Job
