A taxi driver at the Ikeja Central Park, Lagos State, Mathew Okotie, has been commended for returning a laptop and other valuables left in his car by a passenger.gathered that Okotie picked the passenger, Dimeji Kayode-Adedeji, from the Babatunde Fashola Railway Terminus at Agege, en route to Ikeja, where the latter had made a hotel reservation.
Okotie told our correspondent that the moment he saw the bag, he decided to return it because he knew the owner would have been worried. “Eventually, I returned the laptop and other valuables to the man and people were amazed that I could do that. I felt concerned about what the owner of the bag would be going through.”
“From there, I ventured into taxi business. I have been living in Lagos for many years. I actually loved the Air Force work, but my mother would not let me rest being her only son. She would be crying that her only son would not be a military man, so I left the Air Force. I started this taxi business over 20 years ago and to date, that is what I am doing to take care of my family.
There are still good people among us, may God almighty bless him.
He deserves a national honour.
Truth is the Nigerian is good by nature but the prevailing environment often distorts his identity.
We still have good people , hope dey
