The Lady Who Returned A Wallet* 👛❤️
Tolu was rushing to work at Ikeja. Busy morning.
On the road she saw a black wallet on the ground. Thick.
She picked it. Opened it.
Inside: 85,000 cash. 3 ATM cards. Driver’s license. Name: `Chinedu Adebayo`
And a picture of a man with wife and 2 small children.
Her first thought: `God! This is 2 months rent.`
Second thought: `But that man has kids in this picture.`
She was torn. Her phone was bad, her landlord was shouting.
But something told her: `Tolu, return it.`
She used the ID address. Went to Yaba. Knocked.
A man opened. Tired eyes. `Yes?`
*Tolu:* `Sir, I think this is yours.` She handed the wallet.
Chinedu opened it. Saw the cash still complete. He nearly cried.
*Chinedu:* `Sister... this money was for my children’s school fees and my wife’s hospital bill. I dropped it yesterday and I’ve been searching since. God sent you.`
He brought out 10k. `Please take this. God will bless you.`
*Tolu:* `No sir. Just take care of your family.`
She left. Transport money finished. She trekked to work. Boss shouted at her for being late.
That evening, her phone rang. Unknown number.
*Voice:* `Hello Tolu? This is HR from Zenith Bank. Mr. Chinedu gave us your details. We have a Customer Service opening. Can you come for interview tomorrow?`
Tolu: `...Me?`
*Voice:* `Yes. He said "hire the woman with a good heart."`
She got the job. 2x her old salary. Health insurance.
1 year later, Chinedu came to her office. `I just wanted to say thank you again. And to tell you, my wife delivered safely with that hospital money.`
*Moral:* What you return in secret, God will return to you in public.
