A businesswoman, Sola Ismail, has shown that there are many honest Nigerians in the country who would do the right thing no matter how inconvenient.

In a Facebook post by Elder Olabisi Ekwueme, the woman wanted a refund of the money she had paid to a Chinese company for a product which they did not have.

The refund was to be R1 600 but the company said they would only return R1 500. In error, the company transferred the sum of R1.5 million into her account.
