A Nigerian taxi driver has been praised for his honesty after he returned $100,000 that a passenger accidentally left in his car.

According to a viral TikTok video, the driver noticed the huge amount of money in his back seat after dropping off a passenger. Instead of keeping it, he decided to go to a local radio station to make a public announcement. He hoped the rightful owner would hear it and come to claim their money.

Many people online reacted to the video. While some praised the driver for doing the right thing, others said they wouldn’t have returned the money if they were in his shoes.

Here are some of the comments:

• “The taxi man will remain poor since he didn’t use the opportunity God gave him.”
• “How can someone with $100,000 be using a taxi? Maybe he’s not clean himself.”
• “I respect the man. He will have peace of mind for doing what’s right.”
• “This is how some people miss generational wealth.”
• “If I saw this kind of money in a tricycle, I’d start playing songs from Usama Pluto!”

Even though opinions were divided, many agreed that it takes a lot of courage to return such a large amount of money.

This act reminds us that honesty still exists in the world today.
