In the same space where many are feared to be thieves or extortionists, a young Nigerian has proved that dishonesty, opportunism and covetousness do not pay and are irresistible.
He is an employee of the Nigeria Aviation Handling Company, Auwal Dankode, a poor man who does not believe in overnight richness.
He surprised all and sundry as he returned a sum of $10,000 found in a plane.
That is about N16m.
Dankode, a worker at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, found $10,000 while cleaning the aircraft.
Zagazola Makaman, a security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, wrote on X that Dankode reported the money he found to the airline company’s manager, initiating a search for the rightful owner.
Zagazola added that as investigations continue to identify the owner of the lost money, “Auwal’s actions serve as a shining example of the positive impact that even small acts of kindness can have.”
A lot of people who have commented on Dankode’s story have commended him, describing him as a rare breed.
They note that he is a shiny example who should be applauded and bountifully rewarded.
