Anjola Femi, a Nigerian man, has returned $14,000 (approximately N21 million) that was mistakenly sent to him by a foreign crypto trader.
The incident, which unfolded on social media, has garnered widespread attention and praise.
The story began when Femi participated in a cryptocurrency giveaway organized by Rafael Alvi, a foreign trader known on social media as @raffayalvi.
Femi was initially awarded $100 worth of Solana, a popular cryptocurrency.
However, due to an error, Alvi accidentally transferred $14,000 to Femi’s account instead.
Upon discovering the mistake, Femi made the decision to return the substantial sum.

His act of integrity did not go unnoticed, as Alvi publicly praised Femi on social media for his honesty.
The incident has since attracted significant attention, with many applauding Femi for his commendable actions.
When asked about his decision to return the money, Femi explained that honesty and integrity are values he holds dear.
He expressed that keeping the money would have been wrong and that he believes in doing the right thing, regardless of the circumstances.
“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.”
