Emmanuel found a lot of money and returned it and he got more than bargained for back.....
Some of you will keep the money!
Dear Emmanuel:
I have heard in the media about an extraordinary act of honesty on your part.
It is reported that you recently found Fifty Thousand (US$50,000) United States Dollars and approximately One Hundred Thousand (LD100,000) Liberian Dollars which had been lost by a Liberian businesswoman who was passing through Nimba on her way to Guinea to purchase goods for her business, and that when she announced her loss on the local radio station and made an appeal to the public for the money to be returned, you willingly located her and gladly returned her money to her intact.
I am very proud of you for this exceptional sense of morality and good citizenship, and I hope that this will serve as an inspiration to all of our citizens, especially to our youth. You are a prime example of what the Bible teaches us in Proverbs 22:1, that a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.
This honest behavior on your part is even more amazing when seen against the backdrop of your personal circumstances. I am made to understand that you are in the 7th grade with no money to continue your education; that you have no means of income except to occasionally borrow a motorbike from one of your friends when he is off-duty in order to earn a few dollars to sustain yourself.
You are a Champion, Emmanuel, and we are all very proud of you. Although It is often said that virtue is its own reward, I believe that you should be additionally rewarded for this virtuous act, which brought miraculous rescue and relief to a hardworking businesswoman.
Accordingly, I want to inform you that at the next national investiture ceremony, you will be recognized and honored with one of Liberia’s highest Orders of Distinction for your honesty. Additionally, I am hereby presenting you, herewith enclosed, an amount of Ten Thousand (US$10,000.00) United States Dollars, as well as two (2) brand-new motorcycles for you to improve your circumstances and sustain yourself financially.
Finally, and more importantly, I am offering you a scholarship for you to attend any school of your choice in Liberia, all the way to the level of a Master’s Degree. This scholarship is personal from me and my family, and will be valid whether or not I am President of Liberia.
Please accept my personal congratulations
.
Sincerely,
George Manneh Weah
I'd return 40k dollars, abeg, na God de use person bless person
ReplyDeleteYou see as you changed to anonymous to chant that? So that you can change to your real blog ID and chant "Jesus" when the time
Deleteis ripe? You aren't going to return a cent with this mindset.
The boy got more than 10k dollars, maybe you did not read that and I decided to inform you.
I see you've decided not to make heaven.
DeleteYou are just a thief dear, don't foolishly add to your problems by coating it with God
DeleteYou're also anonymous abi?
DeleteI've never had an ID. Abeg smell out
@12:19
DeleteAnd you must utter a curse word to make a sentence?
T.H.I.E.F
DeleteThat's what a thief would do.
That is how God will use your money to "bless" someone else, o ya say Amen to that.
DeleteThieeeeef
DeleteNice one presido.
ReplyDeleteEncourage hardwork and honesty.
A lot of people here who will be praising the boy would have kept the money
and even gone to give "testimony"
Devil's testimony
Real devil's testimony
DeleteWhy am I crying ðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteI'm crying with you ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ it's so touching. Honesty pays!
DeleteSame here, my eyes are wet.
DeleteI couldn't hold back the tears especially when the President said " You are a champion, Emmanuel "... from that moment my heart melted away.
DeleteMy WhatsApp members 🤧🤧this is so touching may the Lord bless you president George weah
DeleteSomeone can boldly say he is a Liberian unlike some president of some country🙄🥴
My sisters thanks for sharing in my cry🤧
DeleteðŸ˜ðŸ˜ this is beautiful . Honesty pays , someone else's money isn't your money and shouldn't be termed miracle God. God wouldn't provide for you by hurting another.
ReplyDelete"God wouldn't provide for you by hurting another" absolutely correct
Delete👌👌👌 @ someone else's money isn't your money
DeletePeople like me 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteTonia
This is huge! Honesty does pay!
ReplyDeleteHonesty is good, BUT, it doesnt always pay or set you free oh. This boy was lucky
DeleteHONESTY ALWAYS PAYS. Whether people acknowledge or not. It ALWAYS PAYS.
DeleteI'm so emotional right now. Truly, honesty pays.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't stop myself from crying, upon his poor status he didn't keep the money for himself😢😢😢 He should have been awarded with a political appointment as well, people like him re rare to find and re needed in politics
ReplyDeletePolitical appointment as what exactly?
DeleteI am happy he got this..
10k usd
2 motorbikes which is approximately 8k. Usd in liberia
Scholarship till masters degree
Liberia highest honor for honesty
These are way more than 50k usd and more empowering than a political post
I'm so happy for him...
All i can see is how Liberian money is Higher than the Naira. What a shame. What a disgrace. Nigeria shame on you. Big for nothing. Can $50kUSD ever equal N100k? In this life or in dream?
DeleteI swear this made me cry,When it's your time it's your time
ReplyDeleteHonesty pays alot
ReplyDeletePoverty is gone for life for ds young man. So exemplary & encouraging to d youths.
ReplyDeleteIt's pays to be honest and have good conscience
ReplyDeleteStella hw u take know...I ws even wondering, can this be in naija,if it in this country nobody will reward piamm.that's why most people wouldn't return it,plus d hardship...las las na fear of God sure pass.
ReplyDeleteAda ohafia
Not hardship
DeletePure wickedness and greed
Expecting a reward is being entitled. If it comes, thank God for it, if it doesn't all good.
DeleteThe point is that money is NOT your money. Put yourself in the shoes of the owner for once, haba!!
Congratulations and indeed honesty does pay. In other news, I noticed $50,000 is just a 100,000 Liberian dollars! Liberia currency get value pass ours! Which way 9ja :-(
ReplyDeleteI really was amazed at the value of their money
DeletePlease reread. The boy found both $50,000 and about 100,000 Liberian Dollars not that those two amounts are equivalent.
DeleteI think the rate is $1 to 155 Liberian Dollar. Still much better than Naira though.
Chai this is worthy of emulation.
ReplyDeleteWonderful God.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely do same without flinching. I cannot be enjoying while someone else is in pains. I cannot sleep at night.
May God bless him the more,such a good guy
He deserves a political post join biko.
I read on Insta weeks back how some cab driver returned huge amount of money , in millions, forgotten in his car to d owner , but was compensated with 5,000 Naira. Kudos to d young man & his President’s recognition & magnanimity .
ReplyDeleteEven if he was compensated with N5,000, he can sleep with a clean conscience, God knows how He rewards each of us.
Deleteexactly either you are a thief or you are not giving excuse of not getting compensated for doing the right thing is an excuse
DeleteHonesty that is very rare to find.
ReplyDeleteThis got me so emotional,honesty pays indeed..
ReplyDeleteGod bless the president for this
Honesty pays, Emmanuel is a champion
ReplyDeleteThe truth is dishonesty is not just because of poverty.
ReplyDeleteI was recently very disappointed in a friend of mine who was refunded erroneously for a covid test kit £29 and said she won't return it. She earns £60k pa. It made me see her in a different light and I know henceforth I can never do any business deal with her.
This is a President!,Glory to God Almighty, honesty pays
ReplyDeleteHonesty is not about poverty or being rich. This act is a godly and courageous one.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad he was duly compensated .
Wow, such a noble act. This reminds me of a guy that returned billions erroneously credited to him and Dr Olukoya handsomely rewarded him..
ReplyDeleteGood for that young man his honesty has paid off in a far greater way.
ReplyDeleteTemptations will always come, being tempted is not the sin, it is the yielding to it that is.
There are still honest people in this world.This is so encouraging.
