- Faiza Abdulkadir, a cleaner at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, has been rewarded with N2.5 million from an anonymous donor after returning N4.8 million mistakenly sent to her account.
- The donation was facilitated by the Da’awah Wal Irshaad Women Organisation.
A cleaner, Faiza Abdulkadir, has received N2.5 million from a “good Samaritan” after returning N4.8 million mistakenly paid into her account.
The donation was presented by Aisha Muhammad Aisami, president of Da’awah Wal Irshaad Women Organisation, in Maiduguri on Monday, September 1. She said the anonymous donor reached out after reading Faiza’s story online.
Grateful, Faiza said: “If you fear God, anything that doesn’t belong to you would not attract you. We should always prepare for eternal life, hereafter, not to be deceived by worldly gains that are temporary.”
Faiza, a cleaner at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital earning N30,000 monthly, supports her five children and aged mother. Last week, she also got N1 million, food items, and vocational equipment from Borno First Lady, Dr. Falmata Babagana Zulum.
State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Zuwaira Gambo, hailed her honesty as “very rare” given her financial struggles.
In other news… A Nigerian lawyer, Chisom Agbafor, has sparked conversations on social media after revealing a troubling trend she has noticed while reviewing numerous wills — daughters are often sidelined when it comes to inheritance.
In a post on X, Agbafor recounted a recent case where a father divided his 10 properties among his children. According to her, the man gave his four sons nine houses to share but left only one flat for his only daughter.
“The excuse? ‘Her husband will take care of her,’” she wrote, expressing disbelief that such a mindset still exists in 2025.
She further emphasized that daughters are not outsiders in their family bloodline and should be entitled to equal inheritance. “Your daughter is not a visitor in your bloodline. She deserves property. Marriage is not inheritance,” she added.
Reacting to her post, another X user, @lifeinsolace, pointed out the irony of the situation, noting that many daughters who get married often don’t inherit property from their husbands either. “They got none from their fathers and none from their husbands,” the user wrote.
Agbafor’s revelation has since ignited debates on gender equality in inheritance practices, with many Nigerians calling for a cultural shift that ensures fairness for daughters as well as sons.
