Remember the airport cleaner, Josephine Ugwu who returned the millions she found in a toilet at the airport weeks ago…well, during the service at the Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) today, Bishop Mike Okonkwo rewarded her for her
honesty.
Yea, she was promoted to the enviable post of a
supervisor at her place of work and her salary increased to N20k from a previous N8k but the gift from Bishop Okonkwo is way bigger…we don’t know how much she was given but we can bet it’s awesome!
We say congrats to her and God bless the Bishop!
Oh by the way, hear her story below:
My name is Josephine Ugwu. I am from Obokpa, Nsukka Local Government,
Enugu State. I am single though engaged
to be married. I have a blood brother,
Ignatius Ugwu and a step brother.
It all started on January 23,
2015. I was on morning duty. For those on morning duty, we work from 7 a.m
to 7 p.m. I saw a bag while I was
picking dirts. It had been there since
6.30 p.m.
After I finished my work and I
was still going home by 7.30 p.m, the bag was still there. So, I went over to the place and told the
people I saw beside the bag to watch out so that the owner will not forget the
bag. I was told nobody among them owned
it.

bag. I was told nobody among them owned
it.
Suddenly, they started leaving one
after the other. I picked the bag, went
straight to the security point were those scanning could scan the bag. They checked it and counted the money
inside. American dollars were inside
(N12 million worth). Later, security men
came with a man who said he was looking for a bag. After series of interrogation, they collected
his passport, photocopied it and he signed and he was given the money.

That wasn’t my first time of
picking money. I picked one on December
23, 2014, another one on December 27, 2014.
This was the third time. I never
had second thought when I picked it. I
knew it’s money but I cannot take anything that does not belong to me.
It is another person’s sweat. I don’t want to put Nigeria to shame. I
want people to know I come from a good
family. All values inculcated in me
still there.
A lot of people know me as
a child of God. I still want that
integrity to stand.

integrity to stand.
The first time, the owner didn’t
give me anything. The second time, I was
given $50 by the white man that owned it.
This time around, the owner gave the security men about N15,000. I was given N5,000 out of it. One organization gave me N20,000, I also got
a freezer.
My salary was increased from N8,000 it is now
N20,000. I was also promoted to a
supervisor.
