Yes, it is true. We gave her a cheque of N680,000. It is
fulfilling, I am so happy, elated. I am grateful to Nigerians who yielded our
call and gave generously. The foundation promised her N1.2 million, 10 percent
of what she found and returned. God will help us get there. She was so happy
when we presented it. It was when we brought up her case that people started
inviting and honouring her. She has been invited by House Of Assembly, CLAM,
TREM and so on. We have told the world that she is the face of integrity, she
should be celebrated.

I am very happy. God brought him to help poor people. If
everybody is like him, Nigeria will be good. I pray God will keep him and his
household.
I am grateful. Life is getting better for me, especially
when people started coming to my aid. Though everything is not money. At the
same time, I am grateful, things have changed for me. I will start a business
and at the same time continue with my job. I really want a better job. Please,
help me appeal to the Federal Government to come to my aid and get me a better
job. She said
