A Nigerian man has returned $14,000 (which is equivalent to N21,063,000 at the exchange rate of N1504/$) that was mistakenly sent to him by a foreign crypto trader after he won $100 in a giveaway on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The young man identified as Lucky with username @oku_yungx won $100 in Solana in a giveaway organized by a foreign crypto trader, Raffay Alvi, the Founder of The Crypto Network.
However, rather than send him the $100 Solana, he had sent him 100 Solana in total which is estimated to be $14K.
Raffay Alvi stated that he asked Lucky to send him back 90 Solana and keep the 10, and much to his surprise, the young man sent it back.
He expressed happiness over his honesty, saying that there is still hope and honest people in the crypto community.
This remarkable act of honesty and integrity has moved many netizens as they praised Lucky and thanked him for giving Nigeria a positive outlook.

Why I returned $14k mistakenly sent to me by foreign crypto trader” – Femi
Anjola Femi has opened up on the reason behind his decision to return the money.
“My name is Anjola Femi, the guy that is known as Lucky, that is the Twitter handle @muchino67.
“So I won this giveaway on Solana, $100 worth of Solana from Rafael Alvi this morning. So, what happened was that he sent it to me.
“So, when he sent it to me, he now messaged me that he mistakenly sent 100 Solana which was $14k instead of $100. So, he requested me to hold 10 and send 90 to him in which I did…,” Femi narrated.
When asked why he returned the substantial sum of money, Femi said;
“I cannot keep the money because it is not mine. I am child of God and we all know that righteousness exalts a nation and thank God for Apostle Chris Onofua, the Kingdom Spread World Ministry general overseer. He has taught us the way of righteousness, so I am very very happy about what I did.
“He is happy, I am happy. I am just trying to show to the world that we Nigerians we are still great and also have a lot of people with integrity. I am also a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2017 set, chemical engineering to be precise.
“Thank you and God bless you all.”
