A store clerk shared a story about her employer mistakenly transferring ₦400,000 to a customer from whom the store had purchased a laptop the previous day. Instead of keeping the money, the customer returned the next day to refund it. The post asked readers whether they would have done the same.
While many praised the customer’s honesty, one comment took a troubling stance: “He no fit make am for life again,” implying that the customer would never be successful because they chose integrity over theft.
This mindset is deeply flawed. It equates success with dishonesty and suggests that moral behavior limits prosperity. Such thinking normalizes unethical conduct, undermines trust, and discourages accountability.
The main post highlighted honesty and responsibility in action. True success is built on character, discipline, and credibility, not exploiting others’ mistakes. Mocking integrity sends a dangerous message to society.
